Stories
Welcome to the Encyclopedia of the Monarchy of the North, a kingdom with its capital in Oporto, and the Portuguese Republic, with its capital in Lisbon, which narrates the war and its antecedents between these two forces, in the period from 1918 to 1922.
You can explore the stories in this Alternative History Universe by year, 1918 to 1922, region (Porto, Vigo, Paris, or Other), or theme. The encyclopedia entries marked ‘Creative Writing Sample’ are examples of how to use elements of the Winepunk chronology and universe in the contributions you want to write. They also illustrate several text possibilities, from micro-stories to obituaries.
