Tales of Lorithel: Bonds of Royalty

Hey folks!  Here it is!

'Tales of Lorithel: Bonds of Royalty'

Previously just dubbed 'Dragon', this was a a story I wrote several years ago as writing practice. It follows Prince Aetrian and his servant, Jarrod.

This takes place in the country of Lorithel, and it was the first story I wrote in regards to this world. This is the same place that Endless Bounty and Engaging Destiny take place in, and you'll even see some characters cross over between these projects!

Here's a map of Lorithel that I drew a while back. In the southwestern part, you'll see Eldrark, and that's where this story takes place.  If you look around, you'll find where Endless Bounty and Engaging Destiny take place too!


This is a linear visual novel around 24,000 words, so it should only take a little more than an hour or so to read, but there are... 14+ special scenes to view, 13+ gorgeous backgrounds and a handful of characters! There are no choices to make beyond a single one at the very start of the game, and all of the CGs will be unlocked in the gallery by the time you're done.

All of the art is done by Gavel! He did a magnificent job with everything that went into this.

The music is temporary, but that title melody was done by Civ Valian! 

All in all, this story holds a special place in my heart because it started a whole world I never expected to expand upon! I've grown really fond of all of it, and I hope to keep growing it. I really hope you all enjoy the world I'm creating as well, as I wouldn't be able to do this without all of your support!

So, here it is!

Comments

Thank you! I'm slowly building up the world more and more over time, and I have ideas on tying some stories together~

DyneWulf

This was excellent! I'd love to see this world fleshed out, maybe even make a large interconnected VN that takes place in the world but follows different characters for each chapter (similar to how the Ice and Fire books do it with each chapter coming from another character's point of view).

Axite

Thank you so very much! I can't wait to show off the updated title screen music now, haha. I'm really happy to see you enjoy it all so much too. I appreciate the kind words!

DyneWulf

Following up ... you did your short story justice! Absolutely beautiful character art and backgrounds, and the title theme is lovely. I listened to it for several minutes, just chilling! I love the map and the world building. I've been working on something similar for several years so I know how much thought it takes to prepare a backdrop before you even begin writing the plot. Kudos! Looking forward to seeing more of your world!

Arthur Charles

You're welcome Wolf. Encouraging hugs and kisses for Aetrian just trying to provide safety and protection for poor Jarrod

Spencer Greenway

Thanks so much!

DyneWulf

This was so good! I would love more!!

GK H

I certainly hope so!

Bobby Thornbody

Aahh, thank you! I'm so happy to hear that =3 It's so motivating to hear people enjoying my stuff outside of EA!

DyneWulf

Always glad to hear to hear that people read it before and enjoyed seeing it turned into a visual novel like this =3 Thank you so much!

DyneWulf

Aww, well thanks so much!

DyneWulf

Thank you! You'll see more of them at some point, I hope!

DyneWulf

Just had enough time to read it and... Freaking loved it Dyne, congrats, it's gorgeous, the music, the art, the writing... It's just perfect and wanting for to read more stories of Aetrian and Jarrod. Now I want to play EB to see the guys again. Also can't wait for ED, or more of EB ❤️❤️❤️

Heyrulf

Wolfbite I don't know what to say. I'm halfway along with the story and the touching music and relationship between Jarrod and Aetrian is heartwarming to say the least. I remember reading the story when it first came out in 2015/16? and to see it in a visual novel representation is by far more impactful to the experience. Great job on everything thus far, haha. Can't wait to see more of Richard again too. Lotsa hugs and kisses for my rhino and green dragon boys^^

Spencer Greenway

Just sat down and went through it all in one sitting, ahh it was perfect. I really would love to see more of their journey, really would not say no to this world being the next big project after EA <3

Naesaki Ashwell

I just finished playing through this story, and, honestly, I'm sad there isn't more! This was a beautiful story, and I loved it! I would love to see more of the journey with these two!

Bobby Thornbody

Wonderful to hear! I hope I get the time to do more with them for sure!

DyneWulf

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that~

DyneWulf

Thanks so very much =3 Jarrod DOES deserve his moment for sure. I think it'll happen... eventually. I hope to do more with them for sure!

DyneWulf

And I appreciate you so much for doing so <3

DyneWulf

Thank you so much! I have a handful of folks that want more of them too, so we'll have to see!

DyneWulf

AAaahhh, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy to hear all of it! The choice was if you were old enough to play ;3

DyneWulf

I love it all!! I hope you make more stories with these two!

Bearly

Just finished playing it, and it is FANTASTIC!! Loved every second of it! Great Job!

Flamingo J

Quite great for a short and sweet story. Perhaps would be nice if Jarrod had his moment to shine. Doesn’t have a lot going for him with his upbringing, but I hope any future installments focuses on his own growth. The two are so cute, who can resist either?

HumanCoffee

I did some editing on this. Well worth the read!

badaimrac00n

Just finished it. There is so much more story!!! I sincerely hope that at some point you get to chance to continue their story. My heart very quickly became invested in it.

Dkrewe

Really excite to check this out!

DecaBear

Finally I've been looking forward to this. Aetrian is so precious and cute. Excitement and freedom are the best things to live for indeed. Kelorin was a great addition too and I absolutely loved him. This story really touched my heart, to learn where it all began, something I really wanted to see since EB and I'm all misty. The writing was beautiful and the art was amazing. I hope there will be more but I do have to ask what choice I wasn't offered one?

LLVPandaSevron

Hahaha, I know, I know! It's just this came BEFORE all of that!

DyneWulf

So madge that its not following the naming trend of EA, EB, EC and ED. But other than that I am very excited for this and more works from you Dyne.

Koit Nurme

He really did marvelous work! Thank you!

DyneWulf

Yes! I'm working in more and more lore with every project now, haha. I'm happy to see the excitement!

DyneWulf

I literally started the game and was blown away Gavel did such an AMAZING job I'm so to see this story come to life. Amazing job as always Dyne~

Drew and Human

I’m soooo excited to read this !!! I know you guys put a lot of work into this and I love that this branching from other games you have done !! More lore haha about to be a whole world or universe at this point - the dyneuniverse haha

Viet Tran

I had to get it out before trick or treaters started here too, haha. Have a Happy Halloween!

DyneWulf

Patrons -should- still be able to download it regardless of that. It's more of a fail safe in case I messed up the page x3 I fixed it so it shouldn't cause any other confusion =3

DyneWulf

Why is the price on itch set to $99.99?

Alex

Can't wait to play it I'll need to wait though 😩 got to keep an eye for trick or treaters any way hope everyone here have a happy Halloween

Everos

That's good to know, cause I am planning more future work in this world!

DyneWulf

It is for me too~

DyneWulf

Glad to hear it!

DyneWulf

Oh, I forgot to set it to public, hah. Try now!

DyneWulf

Can't wait to dive in, and one day when EA reaches completion. I wouldn't say no to an extensive VN to be set in this world too <3

Naesaki Ashwell
