Here are two interesting tidbits I’ve been speculating on. See what you think.
In one of the cabinets in Urithiru, a gemstone message from an ancient Truthwatcher says “I foresaw this.” That’s not the whole thing, but it’s the important part.
Secondly, what about that part when sodium screams “WE KILLED YOU”? Who is ‘we’?

The climax felt felt like a continuous streak of mind-blowing unfolding and action.
Yeah, the way that it jumped between perspectives worked really well. A movie version of this scene would just be incredible!
What do you think about what’s happening with Renarin? That was one of the most surprising reveals in my op…[Read more]

Woohoo! What did you think? Oathbringer is my favorite climax.

@rae @thearcaneaxiom that’s pretty cool!
Considering a week already has 7 days in our universe, you could easily build it around that….

I have an idea on the subject of month, rotations, weeks and days with math…all the numbers relate to seven somehow.

No problem, thanks for your input! I think I’m just going to try to make up something else to power them. I don’t want to go too far into all the science behind it, but I just wanted something to explain how the spaceships worked. It’s kind of just one of those things you have to brainstorm a bit for, so I’ll do that eventually.

I basically “fixed” earth time to eliminate leap years and make all months the same length. It would have worked with 12 months too, but 9 made more sense.

(this is all by Realn reckoning)
So does the Wondian planet make a perfect 357 day rotation around it’s sun?
Wond makes an approximate rotation of 357 Earthling days, but I’ve not decided if it’s off that number by a day or just a couple hours. Notice my use of the word Earthling, for I haven’t even totally decided if a Wondian d…[Read more]

So, this might be a really dumb question . . .
There isn’t any sound in space because there isn’t anything for the sound waves to bounce off of–but in a world (think sort of similar to Skyward by Brandon Sanderson) where battles are fought from not far off the surface of planets to anywhere in deep space, is there any way sound…[Read more]

This is my main WIP, an epic fantasy trilogy (at least that’s the plan) set on one of the planets in Celestiar, Adonial. “The Adonial Saga” is just the working name.
Anyway, I don’t have any of this written yet, except for some old drafts. I created this forum so that you can help force me to make progress. It might be a while before I act…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @thearcaneaxiom
The short stories seem to be dated monthly (the most recent one was published this month, November), the previous one, October, so I’m guessing that they publish one a month.

@thearcaneaxiom You must have an exceptional mind or tons of time on your hands to be able to come up with a double language like S’halek! That’s something I wouldn’t be able to do.

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, I’m kind of disappointed they didn’t even tell us what was going on though! I even sent Kathleen an email asking if it got rejected or something but it’s been five days and she hasn’t replied.

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Magic Systems!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Interesting, I do think that would make more sense, but that also makes the 12 far more arbitrary, though once again, you could put it up to some form of fancy
I’m not too concerned about being arbitrary, but maybe I should be more. I mean, I have a planet whose culture resembles medieval Europe. That would probably be way less l…[Read more]

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Magic Systems!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
So question about the 12 note scale. Someone could make beautiful music out of a 13 note scale, and it could also be analyzed the same, but will it suddenly have no magical effects?
Good question. I didn’t think about that. I’m going to say that it probably would work as well, because I’m thinking that the magic will be based more…[Read more]
