News and Updates
- My external hard drive has been 99% recovered! Updates to the wiki will now resume. However, due to the horrible search function in Element for Matrix, I will not be recreating the server as it was before. I will be going through the files and putting that information here, on the wiki, as it should be here anyway. As always, the wiki will be the best source of information!
- Due to obtaining a beta reader, Monarch of the Lost: The Beginning has been determined to be in dire need of a full rewrite. Therefore, while you can still find the original version of the story on Amazon for purchase, it will also be listed for FREE on Gumroad. Note that once the rewrite is completed, this version will no longer be available, as I will only be promoting the updated version.
What Am I Up To?
I am currently working on:
- the rewrite of the first book, the seventh and (currently-unnamed) ninth entries, and the standalone novel Starfall, at the same time. Taavo has been secretly developing another standalone novel, Truth and Brimstone, but there's nothing substantial yet.
- developing basic vocabulary for Ashtongue to use as a starting point for Duuemarj
- creating custom 3D model representations of the characters from The Beginning, including their clothes and hairstyles
- developing lorebooks for the Pendactarium and formatting them into pretty little books
- this wiki!
What's Gotten Done?
It seems like I am always doing something halfway and not finishing it, but I swear that I am finishing things. Here's what has been accomplished so far!
For the media:
- Finished up to chapter 3 in the rewrite of The Beginning, up to chapter 6 of The Fatebound Sorcerer, up to chapter 12 of Starfall, and up to chapter 5 of the currently-unnamed ninth book (or rather, the third book of the A Turn of Stones series)
- Finished building the base word list for Old Ashtongue, the language that modern Ashtongue and Duuemarj both come from
- Completely recreated the map of Zyrkthraan using Inkarnate, as the original one was pretty basic
- Created maps for the city of Vouudakfel and the Vouudakfel palace, also with Inkarnate
- Worked with Taavo to delve into the various religions of the world, such as the Mountain-Kind Faren, the Kroeven, and specific sub-cultures of those who worship Rhadn
- Laid out design elements for various cultures, including the three subcultures of the Faren, the Kroeven, the Duuema, and the Amaranthir
- Added several new lorebooks to the Pendactarium (as well as redid some of the Pendactarium, as it was never fully finished)
For the wiki:
- Resolved all of the wanted categories
- Developed a super-sorting method for character and event pages via categories
- Chipped away a little at the red links (which will now be faster thanks to my data being recovered!)
- Updated the Zyrkthraan map and added new maps for Vouudakfel and the palace of Vouudakfel
Did You Know?
- Some spells will only effect the caster. In order for a self-effective spell to effect a target, the spell Transfer Spell from the Mending discipline must be used first!
- Trapping the soul of a sapient being is a crime everywhere, except in the Caeluvex society.
- While most of the cultures of Zyrkthraan have unique pantheons of gods, worship of Rhadn is common in almost all of them.
- There are different forms of magic practiced by different cultures, but the vast majority of them are adawe-based, such as Galawe and Galdhud. Lesser known magics do exist, such as harmonic magic, ritual magic, and intention magic, also known as Celestial magic.
- The Marola can only live in the arctic waters of the north, due to their unique physiology. Warmer waters are exceptionally lethal.
