Rock, Hard Place – Kuresh – Landing Page

A story I have now spent twice as many posts talking about, as far as my search for “Arisse” goes, as writing.

Arisse is the Crown Princess of Kuresh, a position which is more than a little hazardous. Chress is a captive given to her by her father, a warrior enslaved in a border skirmish.

(there is a 5% chance I may still change the name of this nation)

Currently a story-setting; i.e., there is one story which defines and fills the setting.

Rocks & a Hard Place
Content Warnings: violence, dubious consent, slavery, nudity, mentioned assassination

Kuratch World Building

including the fact that “Kuratch” is the adjective form of the noun Kuresh

    Landing Page: Unicorn/Factory

    A new setting, Unicorn/Factory colors an early industrial world, where the ravages of rampant production are being held off by unicorns.

    This story has some dark themes – not just pollution, corruption, and the clash of industrialization & farming, but also the very real costs paid by the farming towns. It also encompasses, in some stories, (unicorn-based) rape and forced pregnancy, maiming, and murder.

    The Stories

    Landing Page: Fairy Town

    There’s something about the city, something about its old roads and its older churches. Something about its people, its goblins and its fairies. Something in the water, maybe.

    There’s something that leeches magic into the world, something that makes even the most banal events a little more special – sometimes a little more creepy.

    Featured on Patreon September 2016!

    Bear Empire Landing Page

    In the far North of a continent lives the Bear Empire, an arctic (late Middle English: via Old French from Latin arcticus, articus, from Greek arktikos, from arktos ‘bear, Ursa Major, pole star’, yes, this is a pun nation) empire; in this empire and many of the adjacent ones (although the Bear Empire, being expansionist, does not get along great with its neighbors), magery is, if not common, existent, marriages and most other things are a village or town affair and are rarely monogamous, and people pay homage to not only Mama Bear but several other of the spirit-gods who make up the nationalities within the empire.

    Born from a Seventh Sanctum prompt for a story often called Row-Mance.

    Landing Page: Inner Circle

    In the world of the Circled Plain, most of humanity lives within walled cities, protected from the monsters outside.

    The cities’ walls are nested, circle within circle within circle, and the richest and most powerful live the deepest in the city.

    They call the social and economic climb from the outer rings towards the inner the Ladder. The climb is hard, but there are always ways to jump rungs.

    Jumping Rings
    Taslin and Valran have both knelt in service to climb the ladder.
    But they will have to make it through their ten years before they’ll see the fruit of their labor.
    Jumping Rings updates every other Tuesday.
