Throughout this project I’ve been wishing I had far more drawing talent than I currently possess. I would love to provide you all with pictures of Caelynn, Ken, and Sparky. I would love to have a drawing of the Lyceum and so many other settings in this universe. Continue reading
The call has gone out! Errin announced my uncle’s plan today and the need for volunteers. One hundred Lochfa will be sent to follow the Alfath and ensure they never threaten Tarros again.

In the Earth year 2138, astronomers discovered asteroid 873592 — named Ragnarok — was on a collision course with the moon. Teams of scientists set to work trying to avoid calamity: some sought ways to divert the asteroid’s course; while others designed huge underground bunkers designed to protect people from the catastrophic effects such an impact would have on Earth’s climate. As attempts to change the asteroid’s course failed, a third plan grew in popularity and funding.
