Chapter 199 - The Prince of Mahatan
Mirian’s aura was almost completely depleted. She was rapidly burning the ambient mana that she was absorbing, and now that she was far enough from the depths, the larger soul fragments she’d been relying on were gone. By the time she neared t...

“Where’s the Gate?” Mirian said. “And how do you know? We didn’t find anything in that cave.”
“I know where the Gate is because it wasn’t in the cave,” Gabriel said, still smiling. “It’s a simple matter of process of el...

Here's the chapters that got released this week! If the links look funny, that's because Patreon has rolled out a new feature where making something a hyperlink causes the font to become smaller. There does not appear to be any way to revert this ...
2025-03-30 15:06:15 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 197 - Still Searching
Mirian hurled the book across the room and hit it with a fire beam spell. “Drivel!” she snapped at it as it turned to ash.
Gabriel, who was sitting at another table in the Mahatan Palace Archive, raised an eyebrow at her. ...

They first established communication protocols, and Mirian composed a letter to Liuan Var that would make its way by zephyr falcon, bouncing about aeries until it at last made it to Arborholm. Despite the cost of the delivery being absurd—it was...

Chapter 195 - An Unexpected Encounter
Mirian took her quarters at a random inn in Urubandar, disguised again as Micael Sulalnahr. She had traveled alone this time. She’d secured her room with her usual ward scheme, then slept. In the morning, she sat down with her usual bundle of br...
2025-03-23 16:06:17 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 194 - Searching
The second time Mirian went into Persama, she went alone. She ringed Mahatan with detectors. The problem became clear: while it was still clear significantly more leyline movement was passing under the city in the late cycle, the amount of energy ...
2025-03-21 18:02:26 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 193 - Into Persama
It took about five days for the boat to travel from Palendurio’s port city down to Urubandar. Mirian had assumed a soul disguise and was going by the name Micael Sulalnahr. When they’d stopped in one of the smaller port towns on the coast, she...

Mirian had made a primitive leyline detector using scrounged materials in Arriroba. Even when relaxing, she couldn’t quite bring herself to do nothing useful. The detector couldn’t do much, but it did alert her to a leyline flare...
2025-03-16 17:57:48 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 191 - Sparks of Justice
Mirian contemplated the letter she was holding. Then, wincing, she handed it off to the Royal Couriers to be delivered by zephyr falcon. There was no sense keeping the Elder Gates a secret from her first ally. She had already extended the cycle, w...

Did you know daylight savings time still exists in this present continuum? Xylatarvia is outraged by this blatant blasphemy.
Anyways, here's the chapters that were released this past week:

Chapter 190 - Regulation
Mirian’s excitement only grew as the month of Duala continued. By the 13th of Duala, she was elated: she’d found another way to extend the cycles. Whether by design or coincidence, she didn’t know, but some aspect of the Elder Gates helped b...

As the excavation continued, Mirian saw the Governor’s delegation approaching, flanked by two Praetorians and several city guards. Great. This again. But it was best to head it off.
She flew up land landed in front of Governor Qui...

When Mirian at last left her meeting with Liuan Var, she went back to the hole she’d made to ‘hide’ her spellbook and rapier. She found someone had already dug up the hole, then had tried to make it look like they hadn’t. As I thought....

Chapter 187 - Divine Mysteries
By the end of the cycle, Mirian’s preliminary measurements on leyline activity in Akana Praediar were complete. Lecne and his faithful had also completed their reconnaissance.
“Prophet,” Lecne said, kneeling. “There is someone spread...
2025-03-02 18:48:16 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 186 - Those Lost to Time
As they disembarked at Vadraich City, Mirian reviewed the plan. “Alright. Jei, I’ll meet up with your team here on the 3rd of Duala. Nicolus, you have the address to send me zephyr falcons on your progress. Lecne, you’ll join Jei here on the...

Thanks to everyone that responded to last week's question! It's wonderful getting such thoughtful feedback like that, and it tells me I'm going in the right direction.

By the 28th, Alkazaria had long since fallen to Ibrahim, despite reinforcements from Fort Aegrimere. The army in Palendurio, of course, was holding its position under the direction of the traitor General Corrmier. The rest of Baracuel’s armies w...

As soon as Viridian was done with his dramatic proclamation, the room erupted into conversation. Mirian sat in her chair, thinking. Luspire was rubbing his forehead like he had a headache. Torres had gone pale. Jei was sitting there stoically like...
2025-02-22 00:17:28 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 183 - The Desolation
Selesia led the way, with Mirian levitating the leyline detector behind them. “Over there was the forum,” the younger woman said, pointing to a grove of trees. “This was the temple, which was the seat of government too. Down that way were do...

Here's the chapters that got published this week! Book 2 is now done on the 2nd tier too.
One thing that makes a story feel satisfying is the creation and subsequent fulfillment of promises. For example, in book 1, Mirian starts trying to st...
2025-02-16 18:28:25 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 182 - The First City
Selesia finally woke up as they were entering the Semnol lands. Like Takoa, they were one of the semi-autonomous governments, sort of like what Florin was to Baracuel, but technically part of Akana and subject to some of its laws. Mirian hoped she...

“You did what?” Nicolus asked as they departed the gala.
“Convinced Sylvester Aurum he should begin research into large-scale multi-conduit mana regulators, as well as take leyline data from every factory he has in Akana Praed...

Here's the chapters that got published this week! I hate to keep saying 'writing has been going slow,' but... yup. So it goes.
The newest chapter references "Hikstoluck", which is on the map, but not labeled. It's the river in Akana Praediar...

Mirian strode through the room with her head held high. She quickly found the Sacristars, who were talking to a man Alexus seemed to know.
Nicolus’s jaw was open as she approached. “Damn, Mirian,” he said. “I knew you—but I didn’...
2025-02-09 18:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 179 - The Golden Tower
Mirian woke, feeling more relaxed than she had for a long time. The elements had ravaged her body last cycle, and so it was nice to feel warm, for the air not to burn as she breathed it. Even the water dripping down from the ceiling felt nice in c...
