This must be the feeling a child would have on his first travels.
Egidius brushed the unruly strains of hair out of his face to look at the unique, foreign constructions around him. Though he was no architect, he very much considered himself an artist. Thus, fascinated by...
2019-01-22 02:25:53 +0000 UTC View PostA look outside the window and Corco could see the lines of wolf mercenaries, as they boxed in Sawo's loyalists on the stone plates of the central yard. After his men had been handed control over the western south gate, the rest of his troops had soon made their way into the city proper. In ...
2019-01-22 02:22:06 +0000 UTC View PostWith a satisfied groan, Sawo di Pluritac stretched his hands over his head and greeted the midday sun. After a late start to the day, there was nothing like a hot bath in the bathhouse to freshen up his spirits. He had been quite stressed in recent days; and for good reason. For today, he j...

So here's the temporary world map I've been working with. As you can see, it still needs a lot of cleaning up, the landmasses aren't colored in and some things are subject to change (like the exact size and position of the Verdant Isles), but you can still see a lot of interesting bits on it, lik...

After they had left the walls of Porcero behind the horizon, he at last could stop. His hands on his knees, he gulped in the cold winter air to catch his breath. A quick look towards the back and his heart bled again, as it had so much during their escape. His...
2019-01-16 00:05:59 +0000 UTC View PostHiya, hermit here.
I really don't like the text formatting on patreon. Especially the lack of block alignment. Sicne I've seen how other authors do things, I wanted to ask what you would prefer. Is this system fine or would you rather get pdf/epub files in attachements? I would make a poll,...
2019-01-15 22:32:19 +0000 UTC View PostAccompanied by a long sigh, the tall man with the sparse gray hair sank into his well-worn seat next to the hearth. For a few precious seconds, Elder Cauac looked into the fire, into the flickering flames which would dispel the freezing air of the outside world, before his view returned to the ar...
2019-01-15 22:25:54 +0000 UTC View PostAfter they had been led into the city, Corco, Atau and Tama had boarded a large palanquin at the entrance. Not more words had been exchanged with the governess even after they had gotten into motion. Corco as well had preferred to remain silent. There was no need to get involved in the matt...
2019-01-10 21:11:55 +0000 UTC View PostAs his fingers tapped onto his upper Lip, Corco looked after the men who had just left the command tent in the center of his army's tent, lost in thought. Their reception in Puscanacra had been cold, but that had been expected. After all, it was customary that throughout the funerary rites,...
2019-01-08 21:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhile the land had still included the fertile soil, Emperor Titu had wanted to avoid the appearance of a victor claiming spoils. He had always seen the end of the war as a reconciliation between brothers, so he refused to make use of the precious lands. Instead, he had ordered to plant the ...
2019-01-08 00:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAs he breathed in the petrichor air, Corco looked out onto the swamplands around him. Once again, he drew his fur cloak tighter. After they had left Arguna, their surroundings had become increasingly grim. They had chased the retreating winter south, through lower Sinchay and past Qarasi Castle. ...
2019-01-06 10:52:22 +0000 UTC View Post A heavy sigh escaped Atau's lips. It was the latest of many he had gone through over the past two weeks. He looked over the lived-in tent with the improvised furniture and finally back to the letter in his hand, the one they had received this morning.
“What do we do now captain?...
2019-01-04 13:33:57 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Chaupic entered the mansion, he was greeted by a lively atmosphere. He had decided to come along late, when the revelry would be in full swing. This way, he wouldn't stand out too much. Despite his role in the alliance, he really didn't want others to associate him with the lord of the...
2018-12-29 16:24:59 +0000 UTC View PostAnother rainy day. This time it was only a light drizzle, as if someone had sifted the rain high up in the troposphere. A final goodbye from Arguna to its leaving visitors. Corco drew his fur coat closed and looked away from the gray skies, down onto the proceedings around him. A crowd of p...
2018-12-26 19:38:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Corco stepped back out onto the yard after his change of clothes, a wind of whispers and gasps went through the crowd. Ready for a fight, the chubby little prince appeared very different from what anyone here would have expected. Many lords in would have thought that Corco would ...
2018-12-26 01:56:14 +0000 UTC View PostWith a long sigh, Corco stretched his arms behind his back. After all their differences had been moved out of the way, the nobles' assembly had ended quickly. However, the improvised coronation of the new kings and subsequent signature of the two laws Corco had demanded had still lasted for...
2018-12-26 01:42:12 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the new furnishing, the surroundings were still familiar to Corco. The main courtyard of the Pluritac inner city mansion had been transformed into a deliberation court for the nobles' assembly. Tables had been set up in a large circle, the lords of Medala seated along them. The talk...
2018-12-25 18:22:49 +0000 UTC View PostWith a bang, the shabby door to the secret room burst open. Almost ripped from its hinges, the door banged into the wall behind it. The first noise had already been enough to let Fadelio and his sisters look up in shock. The second seemed nothing less than excessive.

2018-12-25 15:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe sky was dark, as were most of Corco's surroundings. It had been another cloudy day, which had since turned into a starless night.
At least there's no rain, Corco thought.
Still, his position on top of the Moonlight Ziggu...
