I hope everyone is doing well this week, drinking your water and taking your time! I took yesterday off for my birthday
Earlier this week, I mentioned that I would be dropping articles that I’ve been working on, but I’ve also made some minor changes in WA; , , , or
I’m happy to say that I’m comfortable with sharing everything now. As promised, the articles are below and the updated info is already in place, excluding the timelines.
That’s it for me!

- Back in November, I promised you all 2 upcoming chapters for All Hallows Queen, but I failed at my task and my promise. I got too into my head regarding likes and follows that I lost sight of the fun part: building the story. I thought if I just kept writing, I would iron out all the kinks later, but I spiraled, HARD. I let my mental health decline to a significant point to where I couldn’t create anything for a month, and for every day I didn’t write, I felt like I was letting you all down.
- This year, I’m looking to make some . I’m working on a . (It’s also a little easier to update from my phone). I’m thinking about a , but 1 thing at a time.
- - Thanks to some suggestions from some helpful people on Reddit, I’ve spent a lot of time going back to the world building and story building basics. @temperantiachron.bsky.social

Spooktober #8
Another entry done, and once again its probably stretching the prompt but that's the fun of it I think

And with this #8, I close out #SummerCamp2025 with my longest article of the event. There is probably more that can be said and will be said about this superpower of an organization. One of the first factions I ever thought of for this world during its inception long ago. #Magic
I still have a lot more to put into this world, many articles to update with art assets etc, when the time and opportunity arises. I am forever grateful for #WorldAnvil for giving me this platform to share my world with you all. I hope you all enjoy!

I hope everyone is doing well! As usual, I would like to start off by sincerely thanking everyone that stopped over to read. At least 6,100 of you popped in, and we (ChaosSunn and I) are excited for you to join us!
This chapter is going to be a little different. It’s shorter, but substantial to the timeline, so please don’t disregard it if you want to understand the story. The size will be made up with larger chapters in the future.
That’s all from me! We thank you all again, and
All Hallows Queen

- The Mythic Birds Take Flight in Caemothas!
Greetings, fellow worldbuilders and lorekeepers!
A new wind howls across the skies of Caemothas, heralding the rise of three legendary beings whose wings shaped the balance of the world itself—the Mythic Birds.
Born of primordial force and forged in the crucible of the Eclipse Epoch, these awe-inspiring creatures are not just symbols of elemental might—they are the ifirst of their kind/i, singular, world-shaping forces that leave echoes across the planes in the form of their descendants.
Ignivar, The First Flame
- The last ember of the fallen Primordial Ignaraxis, reforged into a radiant phoenix of rebirth.
- Wherever it flies, fire is not only feared—it is understood.
- Ignivar, The First Flame
- The frost-winged sentinel born from the harmony of ice and air.
- Stillness follows its flight. Entire wars have frozen in its presence.
- Hrímveirr, the Silent Gale
Raedrak, The Storm’s Heart
- Lightning incarnate. Willed into being by Voryn, it judges from the skies with thunderous wrath.
- Cities have fallen to its roar. Leylines bend in its wake.
- Raedrak, The Storm’s Heart
Their Progeny Walk the World…
Though these three are singular in power, the world echoes their essence in the form of rare and powerful elemental beasts:
- Phoenixs – Rare firebirds descended from the spark of Ignivar. Said to be immortal flames in winged form, they burn not only with heat, but with memory.
- Glacivern – Crystalline ice birds born of Hrímveirr’s silent wings. They channel elemental cold and reflect spellcraft like living mirrors.
- Thunderbirds – Storm-charged raptors that crackle with Raedrak’s wrath. Their screeches herald skyfire and calamity.
Each species is a myth made manifest—an echo of a time when elementals were more than beasts… they were legends.
From mountaintops to the upper skies, from sacred storms to deep glacial vaults, their presence reshapes the balance of Caemothas.
Let me know which mythic being you'd seek out, bond with... or flee from.
Stay tuned for their canine counterparts—Tremorgrowl, Zephyros, and Abyrion—as the balance of the world howls back.

Worldember Entry #8
That takes me up to 80% of the goal. The 10k is certainly doable before the end of week, barring a flurry of life nonsense getting in the way and destroying my motivation and creativity.
This character has been around since the story was in its in earliest form. If I could be a character or play a character from my story, it would be this guy. He really has not changed much over the years though this is the first time I have done a detailed character description of him.

Valiant: September and October Roundup
Hallo all! The last two months have been busy for the red panda, who's in the middle of househunting, and will likely continue to be busy for the next two months or more. He'll continue to write, but his output may be diminished due to current life commitments. That being said, we've rounded up what he's produced during the last two months, and assembled those episodes and draughts for you below - hope you enjoy them!
Tails #35: I Dream of A Demon Goddess
In the aftermath of Azra's return, the Drifters struggle with the consequences of their failure, and the uncertainty of their future.
Dreaming Draught #8: Clarity
A must-have draught for anyone running an Iron Liver.
CURSEd #30: Kenkai Gekku
Dare, Kwyn, and Whisper are deployed to arrest (and then recruit) a former Challenger that's made some interesting career choices since the program was shuttered.
Dreaming Draught #9: Requarium
The foundational nectar required for brewing all Dreaming draughts.
Dreaming Draught #10: Vequarium
A distillation of requarium used for amplifying the effects of other draughts.
Covenant #37: The Ties of Family
In the wake of Azra's centennial, Raikaron and Jayta each explore the tangled ties of family, and the roles that those ties play in their lives and the machinations of higher powers.
Valiant #40: Apostate
After an unexpected encounter with Prophet, Songbird starts to reckon with his religion and whether their vision of the galaxy is compatible with his.
And if you'd like to start from the beginning, the link to Valiant: Season 2 is below!
Stay frosty,

I wrote a new world intro--does it work for you?
If you think tales based on medieval Europe are all played out, you would be so very wrong. Aorlis doesn’t rehash the same old fantasy tropes that are repeated ad nauseam in books, games, movies and television.
Aorlis is a living world, full of interconnectivity and rich detail. It is based on Olde Worlde charm and flavor, and it works wonderfully for high fantasy, low fantasy, cozy fantasy, grimdark fantasy, and even full-on gothic horror. Our own world is different things to different people, and so too is Aorlis.
The Realms of Aorlis Fantasy Setting was developed by an avid medieval historian, and his research on the period’s social, religious, economic, occult and mythological roots will redefine your relationship with the Middle Ages. Aorlis is not Middle Earth or Westria.
The finest tool in Aorlis is its customized random events and encounters charts that draw characters into ongoing or existing plots, introduce new non-player characters, and mysteries begging to be solved.
The Realms of Aorlis is a system-agnostic setting that works with any fantasy table-top role-playing game. Choose your game of choice, and Aorlis is ready to run.

Caturday Reads #8
Happy Caturday!
So, first week of Summer Camp has come and gone, and people have been prolific writers as expected. Myself been taking it slow, with just one copper wave prompt out and another one still in the works.
What do you think about the newly released silver prompts? How did you like the copper wave ones? Silver wave didn't hit quite hit home with me right away the same way the copper ones did, but maybe I'll warm up to them once I've mulled over them for a bit.
I did do a lot of reading, though. As has been a personal custom for me every Summer Camp, I've gone through all prompts released so far, sped read the ones that matched my criterias* and caught my interest, and saved the ones I liked a lot in my reading list for later.
And I though: Maybe I should incorporate this in my reading journal series? Well...
That was all for this week, hope you all have a good weekend and keep up the great work!
* I speed read articles that a) are written by authors I'm not very familiar with b) aren't text walls or bullet point lists c) I don't have to strain my eyes to read e) have the community features on so I can like and add to my reading list.

Welcome to the Summer Jazz Special, Copper Wave!

Leno's Worldbuilding Week Report #8
This last week has both been busy and not so busy. For one, i wrote and published a single article, one that got around one obstacle I have had for some time. Now I just need to figure out the case with the sky somehow xd.
On another note, I have actually written a few new books and fixed some older articles. However, at the moment, they are in a temporary private world.
It has hit me that my Mésvéstell setting (my oldest and first one I made) has quite a few drafts in it, and several old articles that need some serious work. I will attempt to fix all this as best I can.
Though I am not sure I should give any notifications regarding it all once I republish the articles. Do not really want to give a flood of notifications again.
I have also written on a new magic system which is a mix of the Voice in Skyrim and Black Bolt's voice ability. Though I think it may still need some work.
In any case, hope you all have a good day/evening and take care ^-^

SC 2021 Update - 10/10 Prompts Complete!
With one day to spare before the next set of prompts are released, all of my copper prompt articles have been submitted. I'm a little gutted because, had I not been hit with a massive headache yesterday, I would have probably written this update yesterday. But oh well! Celebrate your victories where you've earned them (and I think I've earned this one :P )
If you fancy having a read of any of my articles, you can find them all here: https://www.worldanvil.com/community/challenge/summercamp-2021/homepage/SunlanceXIII
And because I've tracked it on a spreadsheet here's a break down of some of the stats for the copper prompts so far: > Total word count - 8132 words > Article with the most words - A Song of Law and Opportunity for prompt #8, which currently sits at 927 words > Article with the least words - SNDY and the Death of Cerberus for prompt #9, which currently sits at 753 words, this one was definitely the hardest for me to write out of the 10 prompts we've had so far > Personal favourite? Gradician Ferrets for prompt #4 - I really enjoyed writing this one and researching ferrets (they're pretty cute guys c'mon) and I hope you guys enjoy reading it :D
Plan of action until the silver prompts get released tomorrow will be reading through some of the other submissions for prompts and spreading the love! As well as adding some links to my own articles (but let's be honest, that's less important than spreading the love)

Monday update #8
Hey! :D
My Kickstarter updates have now moved over to the Kickstarter so these updates will be a bit shorter. (I'm leaving the longer ones on my Patreon. XD )
We're now not allowed to use our private mobile phones at work so I am spending my work time plotting my stories instead of listening to books now. XD ...got a lot on the Cinderella remake webcomics and I am also considering doing a couple of visual novels. XD;;
I have also decided which story I should write for during NaNo this year. :)

NEW BOOK PUBLISHED + An Apology
I've not been around much, I know. I'm sorry.
Maybe you don't read things like this--heck, maybe you don't even follow me (or haven't until you found yourself in a drunken stupor)...but I felt to write this all the same.
I'm apologizing for not being in the community more--for not truly taking part in WorldEmber (yes, I did the minimum, but I wanted to do so much more)--and not being there, esPECIALLY for my friends on Discord.
I've stopped streaming on Twitch (except for special events), switched to YouTube videos and focusing more on writing my novels than anything else.
...because I've come to a cross-roads in my life.
I either have to give my health, work, and family my all, or I may lose them all.
As much as i want to burn the candles at both ends, I don't get that choice. Not anymore. Oh, don't mistake this for complaining--I'm finding all sorts of blessings in this.
Moving slower and having to meter out my time because of health has made me sop, think, be deliberate more in my conversations, in my compliments, and in loving my family, friends...and you.
Yes, you.
You KNOW I love you, right? It's why I make the things I do.
Because you matter.
So this short letter is to let you know I'm NOT gone.
Far from it.
I check in every day--to see if anyone needs me, to answer questions and to reach out in what little gasp of time I have available.
I'm also building my world consistently, and will continue to do so day in and day out. WorldAnvil is my creative home.
Janet and Dimitris know it--and so should you.
That being said, just know that I miss you, and I will pop in more as I get a grip on my 'challenges'. My family already has me on a special diet, I'm exercising more, and that will make a life-changing difference as time ticks on.
Oh, a few more things.....
Howling Shadows--book #8 is PUBLISHED!!
It only took 5 years and 4 complete re-writes to get back into the same groove and continue the Chronicles of a Hero series after my break--but it's here!Funny thing is--my books average 285 pages.....and this one turned out to be 600 pages!!
ALSO....
BREAKING NEWS!
After posting roughly 60+ videos on my YouTube channel I was contacted by a popular YouTube channel, asking me why I didn't have audiobooks.I didn't have an answer, other than a lack of equipment.
So they bought me a sweet, new, portable sound studio---NO...STRINGS....ATTACHED!!
[insert gasps of awe right here]
So guess what I'm about to start making...?
That's right....
COOKIES!
Kidding.
I start unboxing and testing the equipment as soon as I publish this post (giggling)!!!
If you'd like to hear my test run on a few chapters with my old equipment, check out my YouTube channel. =)
As I said before, I love you--and you MATTER!!
Have a wonderful week.
