The challenge marches forward!

Currently, we have 7 amazing entries with a wide variety of interpretations to the prompt! I have even found a few worlds that I've taken an interest in, sometimes the amazing authors on WA go unnoticed. But, wow there really are a phenomenal amount of creative minds here!
  The challenge is still running until Jan 14th, so plenty of time to relax over the holidays, belt out more lore for your worlds, railing through World Ember content, and maybe finding new inspiration!
  I've started drafting some ideas for the hidden badge and I'm happy with some of them. Others have already been scrapped, but nonetheless! I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas come out of the community!

How much LORE can we drop in a single article? A lot. A bit of Truth as it Billows Through the Branches.

Well to start things off, I wanted to write about music and the role it plays in the world of the Great Tree! Tillerz really got my going on this, like full throttle, engine overheating and coolant dripping from every gasket we can find type of going. So, that being said. This article is one of the single biggest lore drops I got right now. #UnofficalChallenge, #TuneJune   To anyone who has read a good amount of the Great tree and it's manuscript (seriously thank you, I love you all for suffering through all this <3) Music as it is in the story holds an unique effect for magic and how it operates. Music is the magic of the world and for a good reason. My name on the site is a bit of pun to myself, but! Let me tell you The Reason Why!   I am excited to present you all the article that is way more blatant about the lore and what is actually happening. For anyone who is wondering what the "Shadows" are, I'll give you hint; there are Eight of them. With the original four gods of the world lost, only one Monarch to remain.

  With that, a bit more personal news. After a long conversation with a few good friends when they found out about this project, they told me a few opinions that resonated with me. So, with that, they asked me why I am putting out a metric load of content out to the ether expecting no response? Well, I have a story to tell and thats all I want. They told me this, if you like it enough, if you believe in the work enough to have enough work to fill many thousands of pages of traditional books, then you see a worth to it?   Well yeah, I have a story and a world to share. So that means there is an intrinsic value to it? I would think so? Well, why don't you at least put yourself out there? I am planning on publishing (self or otherwise) the books I am writing at some point, maybe an artbook if I'm brave enough. But, they really made an argument to me that I should see if anyone would be willing to support my creative endeavors, and I suppose I couldn't argue too much. I have put hundreds of hours of work into my world and artwork thus far.   So in a very wordy, very much trying to convince myself that my work is worth supporting. I set up a Ko-fi page where if you feel like supporting my project, you can. I'm not saying you need to, but it would be very much appreciated! I am trying to gauge how much interest there is in the world of The Great Tree before publishing anything. I also linked my Instagram page, which acts more as a repository for all the artwork I have made that doesn't have a home in an article yet.   So without trying to sound annoying, or like I am begging for attention or support. Here you go: https://ko-fi.com/thereasonwhy3312, and https://www.instagram.com/thereasnwhy   I appreciate all of you! The amount of positivity and feedback I have gotten from WA has been amazing. Honestly, I didn't see my project lasting this long, but I just feel like enough of you enjoy the content that I want to keep going.

March is Marching on

Hello Everyone!
  As I have been finding everyway to procrastinate on the manuscript, I was participating in #unofficalchallenge, #Springimprovements, by Chrispy_0! I wanted to pick an article that was actually going to be relevant as I soldier on in the plot of the story So! Here we have Forgotten Family Old, and The Forgotten Family New.
  In my usual fashion, I may or may not have went down a long rabbit hole doing this spring cleaning. So that being said, notes on another settlement! Skjalich.
  Also, I was in a mood, so I had a bit of a departure to my narrative based style, and wanted to do some poetry. Warmth felt again in The Raven's heart and The Great Mother awaits patiently.
  Really need to finish doing the rewrite for Ilgor too... Eh, I can sleep when I'm dead. Have at it if your interested Ilgor of the Skullbrood Clan.
  This post is getting too long, thanks everyone for getting this far! Still plugging away on more and more content for the world as I experience it with my characters!
