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.

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?

 Is it weird to thank Pixabay? I don’t think so. Many illustrations and headers I have designed for my articles were made possible by the broad access to CC0 and public domain images provided by their amazing service!

Cartography Resources

StarRaven, Armamentz, Ramah
For providing these, these, and these amazing cartography brushes. StarRaven’s mountainscapes are amazing and were vital for my design of the Yamato Mountain Range, and even though I have not yet used Rahma’s brushes, I am already thanking him for providing them, because the building brushes are absolutely stunning and I wish I had found them sooner! I also wish to make a shout-out to the Cartographers Guild in general because these guys are incredible. The resources they provide have made my mapmaking possible and I am immensely grateful for that.
