Fact Box for Loegress
Here's the fact box for the Theocracy of Loegress, located in the far north east of Eastern Llachatul. It has a long history and its people cling to old chivalric myths and legends that are indistinguishable from its founding history. The three heraldic eagles in its flag represent the three states of Enaellon, Glynned and Mottania, which were united by the champion Torrvan in 2588 RM. This state will be the focus of the next high-res and tex...

We're done with our foray to south western Sammaea and we're back to Llachatul - to get the last nations in the continent finished.

W.I.P - Starting work on the next batch of Atlas maps...
I have a few maps in the pipeline that will finish off the states and nations of Llachatul and am about to start work on the geography of a new region, far away in south western Sammaea.

Black Blood
the Clone Slaven finds himself in a bar looking for directions to something he's been looking for...This is the second Slaven story (the first being the Stone, in which he plays a supporting role) and the first to introduce any degree of continuity or ongoing narrative. I flitted across timelines and different 'moods' for Slaven in these early stories, and this is probably the most lighthearted he's even been (And ever will be, tr...
the Prison Carceri
A scholar travels to the Prison Carceri to answer ancient questions, but he is not ready for the revelations he receives...Not all my short stories are about Carceri, I promise! Carceri and Vorropohaiah were two of the first major aspects of the world that I created, and though the world went on to grow around them, leaving them less important to the overall scheme of things, they remain two 'unique' aspects of the world that I still love...

Now that Patreon is better at supporting files and collections I'm moving over some stuff from my old site over here so that everything is in the same place.The Elyden Directory is an old document I had created that details the ancient deep mythologies of Elyden - the Cosmogony (the world's creation) and the exploits of its worker gods, the Demiurgesin the earliest epochs in Elyden.It's a good primer to Elyden's mythologies and I ...

What Should I Explore Next in Elyden? Your Input Needed!
As Elyden continues to grow and evolve, I wanted to reach out and ask if there are any specific areas of this world you'd like to see explored or expanded upon.

As promised in my last post, here is a play-by-play of the major events of the War of Sundering. the image is an abridged 2-page spread intended to follow the War of Sundering map in the Atlas Elyden, and the full text had to be condensed, omitting some detail.Unfortunately, there was not enough room on the page to list the events in numerical (chronological) order, so the numbers corresponding with the numbers on the map are added to the text as...

the Sanctified Orders of the Inquisition
This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time but, as is usually the case with text content, I've been putting it off because it's not a pretty map!
