WorldEmber 2025
My Pledge

I'm currently writing the first novel of the Kingslayer Saga. Therefore, I want to focus on the cultures and areas that are relevant to that story.
I'll be exploring the northwest of the continent Vinalur which is inhabited by the Northern Forest Elves and a minority of Werewolf immigrants.

My Homework

Reviewing old content
I already have the relevant cultures sketched out, but this is a good opportunity to revisit those core articles. For example, by updating the old art or adding some details that will be the starting point for the WorldEmber articles.update the art of the species

Finding Inspiration
I made a brand-new mood board to go with my novel writing.
Furthermore, I checked that my list of inspiring media is up to date. Detailed notes are in a separate article, but here's a quick overview:
- the Order of the Stick comics
- the Discworld novels
- the Firefly TV show, obviously including the Serenity movie
- the Leverage TV show

My writing environment

I have playlists for the members of Ria's Pack on my PC. A folder on my desktop contains links to those files, marked with portraits so that I can identify them at a glance.



Order of the stick, now it's been a while I heard that :) Hope you're enjoying your time and have a wonderful World Ember!
Thank you! ^^ Yeah, Roy and his gang of "semi-trained quasi-professionals" helped me stay sane(ish) during my study years. They've greatly shaped my vision for Ria's pack, especially when it comes to giving every character a proper development arc. Hopefully, I can also learn how to balance drama and humor that neatly.
