Newest Chapter V: The Binding of Orzelgryf

Storm Winds of Glazglubin Cover

"There's a monster in every man, boy. Within me, there is a host, and one day, it'll be yours to command." Too often these days, Kenji's mind turns to the words of his accursed father. When he fled the Old Country, he thought he had left the monsters behind, but now he sees them every day in the eyes of his friend and mentor. His world is about to crumble in a spasm of eldritch magic, and though he can see the face of his undoing so clearly in his nightmares, deep down, he knows that the first blow has already been struck.
As the tendrils of a soul plague lay claim on Aqualon's oldest and most powerful magocracy, the Lord of Wind, Kenji Sokolow, is cast down from his high tower, pressed to rally whatever forces he can find. But first, he has to survive...

A Synopsis of the World

Seventeen centuries of peace have allowed the people of Aqualon to flourish. Since the Great War, now known as the Age of Heroes, when the Old Gods rose up once more in vain, the world has become prosperous: powerful magocracies in the Middle Lands are going through a magical industrial revolution and rich tapestries of cultures flourish in the Yamato Mountain Range and the Seventeen Yonder Islands. These lie in the Corsic Ocean of the Ocean Belt beyond the 150 kilometer band of iron, the Iron Belt, which rings the planet around its equator.

And isolated from the rest: two technocracies so far beyond them that they could be thought to live in a world of their own. They are divided by their opposing views on integrating magic and technology, yet united in their quest for knowledge.

But who would have thought that none of these would start the next great war?

I spend many hours a week writing articles, this magazine, drawing maps, creating Aqualon tabletop resources, the weekly stream, Quills with Skills, and editing new chapters of the novel. More time than I technically have to spare. And I also have regular expenses for web space, better equipment, prints, advertisement, and more. I make it a point to make most of my material available for free, because I love my world and I want to share it with you. That being said, if you could support me on patreon, I would very much appreciate it. There are cool rewards like early access to magazines and chapters, the ability to get your own house added to one of the many maps of Aqualon, raffles, and even loot crates. If you don't have the means or don't want to commit to a monthly donation, I am also on KoFi, and I drink a lot of coffee ^-^
