#Malkora

Shoutout to Mochi for starting this idea! This was actually such a good way to put my world themes in writing! How deep does your world's iceberg go? :D

I don't think I've ever been able to say this during WorldEmber before, but Malkora has new art! Some excellent little sketches cooked up during this week's streams — our final final push stream is tomorrow at 11AM EST! See them in action over in Malkora's brand new world primer, which I'm now declaring complete!! At least.. until after WE where I find things to change bahahaha!

I can't believe I get to say it this year, but I've achieved my 10k goal — BEFORE the final day of the event! I'm so excited about the progress I've been making, and the content that I've already put together as part of this event!   Now, I'm not done yet — I have more plans, and plenty more ideas to put into writing — but I'd love to show off my proudest works thus far! Malkora's very first primer is now live! This is the article I wanted to create the most this year, and I did it! It's an immersive first step into the world, led by an in-world narrator and his collection of books and maps. It features some of these core articles I also wrote this month:

• Powers of Malkora — Less organized, but with a ton of world lore, this article dives into the three sources of power in Malkora. Another overdue core article I'm glad I got to work on!
• Leylines — An overview of Malkora's arcane domains, and the leylines that carry their magic throughout the world! I can't wait to get some art in here soon.

Also very excited to dive into Malkora's very first pantheon! Even more excited about the new lore developments I've made in how pantheons are structured, and how major deities fit into regional pantheons — more info to come on deities and their shards soon! I'm excited about the two gods I've already started writing for (and check out how cool the tenets sections are for each)!

• Atreimus, Strength Incarnate — The god sweeping Arsavela and the Eastwind Pantheon — the embodiment of humanity's strength. The Purifier title is now but one shard of Atreimus, out of a potential sea of others around the world.
• Vosra, the New Dawn — Principal goddess of Malkora, first to arrive, and origin of most of Malkora's other deities. She is the embodiment of hope, and ensured humanity had the will to fight on at its lowest point.

Phew. I hope that's not too much for one update, but I really am just so excited for all I've accomplished already this month. Gigantic thanks to the members of the community who have been cheering for me, hanging out in my writing streams, and generally pushing me to make great things.   Sip, sip, hooray!

You can always count on the ADHD-brained worldbuilder to save things for the last day! Finally, I present my completed homework, and I'm sharing it with some things I'm deeply thankful for this year.

Thank you, friends!

I'm so thankful for...

• the cheems, who inspire and encourage me every day with their excellence
• my fellow Tomies, who continue to bring fantastical visions to life all the time
• my community, who tunes in to hang out with me as I build my world on stream
• my partner, who listens to my ideas, even when they don't make sense (yet)
• myself, for taking steps to take care of myself at the tail end of a very difficult year
• WorldAnvil, the team and community alike, for making this platform my virtual home and a safe space to explore my creativity

Not long now, before the writing frenzy begins. I just wanted to tell all of you, "thank you for being a part of my journey so far. Let's keep adventuring together for a while." ❤
