I am so beyond touched that Solaris was voted Best Body of Work for Worldember 2023! Thank you so much to everyone who voted!
It's wild to think that Solaris is about to wrap up its second year. What started with a dream of a war against the sun, is now the biggest project I've ever worked on! I've never experienced so much love and excitement for something I'm working on, and to think it would be with one of the genres I've been most scared to write!
Check out what Skye and I wrote for Worldember!
As for 2024, I'm hopeful this can be a year of new challenges and new horizons! I've set up a small hub for Solaris on Tumblr, and I want to continue being active on Bluesky. Come join me, and let's show the rest of the world what they've been missing out on!

SUMMONING THE FURRIES FOR A FINAL WORLDEMBER HURRAH. ETHNIS IS THE WORLD TO JOIN, EXPLORE, AND PLAY. #worldember2023
As #WorldEmber2023 reaches its close, it's time for to choose our favorites, and I can't just let that go by without shouting about a few of the articles I'm proud of.
This year I fleshed out the corners of Ethnis dedicated to body modding, especially regarding how furries and other anthro-identifying people exist in a transhumanist society. It's one thing to buy some new traits and organs, it's another to use those traits to not just extend who you are, but to self-actualize the creature which has always lurked in your mind and beneath your flesh.
These are the articles related to this topic.
If nothing else, I hope you enjoy reading. I look forward to seeing what characters you make ♥ — Jacklyn
- ★ Anthros are what you call Transmogs with high aspirations towards becoming beastly
- Wetware is all the squishy fun of sculpting your anatomy into something new
- Wetware Drivers will make your neck itch
- Soluma is a story about a very good dog
- ★ Psioware Drivers are the combination of Wetware and Soluma to create souls that work as wetware drivers
If nothing else, I hope you enjoy reading. I look forward to seeing what characters you make ♥ — Jacklyn

When life gives you potatoes...
I've come to the realization that I am probably not going to have the time this month to write a lot, which means that a New Year's resolution article is seeming unlikely at this point.
However, to make up for that, I'm going to like and comment on as many articles as I can, especially because everyone put out so much quality writing during WorldEmber that NEEDS to be acknowledged.
And in case I haven't said it already, a wonderful new year for one and all. May 2024 be even more productive for you than 2023 was!

December Update + WorldEmber 2023: Wrap-Up!
I know, I know, I've been telling this not long ago. I was so excited when only the time I needed to publish and notify my last work, was seconds before midnight. So, once again, Happy New Year!
WorldEmber Wrapped Up
As you know, #worldember2023 is over, and I hope everyone have finish the goal! This year I managed to publish 14 articles with a total of, according to the main page, 11,939 words. Compare to 7,203 words last year with 11 entries, I'd say this year is a total success.
Due to my strategies, I have another 13 unfinished articles that I intended to finish according to my pledge back in November, but didn't make it on time. Meaning that I've written 24 articles, but over half was unused. I think I've to redo my workflow next time.
On the bright side, I've finished 2 plots - Quest for the Power Stone and Might of the Power Stone!. I was satisfied by these two plots, despite how rushed the latter was, since them and the Wrath of the Power Stone I did last WorldEmber, are the main world storyline of Terraloga during 2019-20. I finally completed the world's biggest goal, and I'm feeling better than ever!
You can find my full list of all finished articles on my main page, when I crossed the threshold of WorldEmber 2023!.
2023 Update
To be honest, it's one of the most chaotic years ever. I lost my friend, I lost my jobs twice, and I was about to lose my house to the bank within months. I'm completely lost, and if I don't do everything within the next months from now, I'll lose everything.
Nevertheless, there's a good side to the story. I've been through art communities, and I've been very happy. They were very supportive, I got new friends, and most of all I was able to do art commissions for them. I've found the way to make money, and if I continue to focus on those, I would solve this crisis in no time.
Have you face any crisis and how you solved them? If you're okay to tell, I'll listen.
January Plan
And with that folk, another success goal in my last year resolution. My mission to post monthly update for a whole 2023, has come to an end! I don't want to make it for another year no more. I've ruined my posting schedule every month, and I wish I'd never do it again. It's over....

Happy New Year and Worldember everyone!
I had a fun Worldember this year. I hit many but not all of my goals, but there is nothing to stop me from going to back to the unwritten topics later.
I am happy that I came in 9th place by word count. Last year I don't think I made the top ten and Nine is a lucky number in Scarterra.

WE Summary
Happy new year everyone!
I hope you all had fun with #WorldEmber2023 whether or not you were successful in writing as much as you wanted!
This month I managed:
to get the 25k words badge
to write an article for all templates apart from language, prose, and plot
to do a lot of art (even if the pen of my graphic tablet broke on the last day D: )
My favourite articles I wrote this month this month were:
Mineral vs organic magitech, an article that set the basis of my solarpunk magic/technology in this world, which then allowed me to write a lot of cool technologies like a variation of internet anchored in the mycelium of a fungi
A wall painting competition that you participate in with your neighbours and all the fierce rivalries around it!
A flyer from the city council trying to convince people to be nice with the local asshole bird!
A little kitten menace that has somehow found its way to the Dark Lord's manor.
A kidnapping announcement written by enemies to taunt my empire
Globally, I'm very satisfied with how far I've managed to advance my new world, with writing a lot about their solarpunk magitech and their culture :D
You can find the full list of the articles I wrote and a few words of presentation for each here: WorldEmber 2023.

WorldEmber 2023 Wrap-Up
Congratulations to everyone who successfully completed their goals for #WorldEmber2023 and congratulations also go out to everyone who got any words at all written. You have more than you started December with!
I successfully earned my 25K badge and I'm very happy with the worldbuilding that I got done. I intentionally focused on stomping out stubs and intentionally avoided picking up a Dimi Mission. I have a lot of background characters and foundational information to get written down, and WorldEmber is definitely the perfect time and place for it.
I'm super proud of the articles that I wrote at the beginning of WE for the Can Opener and at the end for Sgt. Yahn Sunder. The Can Opener has been a villain in my campaigns for the past year, a herald of a much larger threat. Sgt. Yahn Sunder has been taking up more and more space in my head as a new POV character and I'm enjoying fleshing him out.
I'm going to start going through the articles I'm judging in the Ethnicity Special Category. As of now, there are only 98 entries! I'm looking forward to the lighter work load this time!
I'm gong to write my NYR article shortly and I'm looking for articles to read outside of my challenge category. What are your favorite articles that you've done this World Ember? Share them, I'd love to read them!

WorldEmber wrap-up, a secret and a Happy New Year!
WorldEmber
Finishing WorldEmber went almost smoothly, with almost meaning that obviously the entire website will be deleted and rolled back two days before the deadline. Or that things will start breaking. The universe has spoken!
That being said, I finished the competition with a large scale military conflict started by a boy now erased from history, and a short (3.6k+) WIP article about Breadmaking. All three will be given more love in the coming weeks, the breadmaking article in particular if I remember to make some good quality photos.
Final thoughts
Planning is definitely essential for me and with all the unexpected and attention-demanding stuff popping out throught the month I understand, more than ever the needs for it. It will be rough, but I'm hoping to introduce even more planning into my writing/life schedule. This week I'll be gathering my strenghts and resting and somewhere in the next week will be posting my plans for the January, traditionally including the Reading Challenge.
There is just one more shameful secret I have to share, but that will come after Worldember. It may be one of the reasons I struggled a bit with finding time for writing.
The little secret
And that was starting Duolingo a week before WorldEmber. With all fairness I did not think it anticipate it would stick so well. The plan was to learn Scottish Gaelic since the this WorldEmber was centered round a Celtic-like culture and Scottish Gaelic is my placenamer language of choice. After a month, though, after successfully finishing #worldember2023 and advancing to the Amethyst League I can sum it up the efforts to: Obh obh... Chan eil i cho dona ach mi gu math sgìth.
Happy New Year, everyone!

WorldEmber 2023 - 25k reached!
At the beginning of WorldEmber, I decided to shoot for 10k words - I've had a daily goal of 300 words, and by upping that to 325 I was pretty sure I could make that happen. I'm happy to say that I made my goal early, and then continued on to reach a final total of 27,191 words across 108 articles. I also joined the new #ArticlesAnonymous chapter, and I am very thankful for all their support during this challenge and looking forward to our future endeavors as a chapter. Happy New Year to all!

Slid in to over 10k just before the lock.
Despite everything that has been going on this month for me, and the cherry on top, getting and still dealing the flu 2 days before the deadline, I made it.
Completely rewrote and expanded. The Leodora Exploration Society.
Two stupid impractical weapons.
And finally, this wall of text, that still needs a ton of work to make it readable and interesting. but by God, I was hitting that goal.
Okay, time to go back into a NyQuil coma, and see everyone in 2024.

I wrote 32K Words in one month!
I honestly did not think i was going to write this much, as i had even hesitated to put my objective at 25K, worried i wouldn't be able to reach it. Well, it seems i blew past it. What a nice way to finish off the year!
Speaking of which: Happy new years 2024! May it be filled with inspiration and lots and lots of nice worldbuilding words.

#WorldEmber finale
I just finished with 25,500 words! I didn't expect to make 25K, just 10K, so wow!
You can see my finished article list here.
I wrote on Greenglimmer, the new location for my Evenacht serial. All articles are relevant to the book, and my goal was to make certain they were polished.
Looking to the future and a wonderful 2024!

Well, I *did* think I was done.
I really did think I was finished, and then I wrote a pretty big article fleshing out the religion for one of the peoples/communities I hadn't done yet. D: But I started and it just was flowing, so, 2,000 words or so later.... here it is! And of course now I'm cranking out the details and deities themselves. :D The gap between 25k and 50k words feels insurmountable, but I definitely passed 25k far on accident ;). Keep writing everyone!

WorldEmber and Dimi Mission Complete
I've just posted the final settlement I wrote for my #DimiMission and my final article for #WorldEmber2023 in general. The latter is a prose piece I was challenged to write by SecondhandSamurai, CassieStoryweaver, and Janet Forbes after I noted a particularly catchy phrase during the October 7, 2023 World Anvil Twitch Stream. #worldember2023

2023 Wrap-Up
Well, everyone. World Ember is drawing to a close as is 2023. Another year has gone by already. I don't know what the next year holds, but I'm sure it'll be full of as many ups and downs as this year.
I had a several goals for 2023, I'm not sure if I was able to accomplish any of them. (I forgot about them when February rolled around.) But there's always next year!
I had a blast this year being able to take part in the official and unofficial challenges. A special thanks to those who were willing to have unofficial challenges. (Maybe that's something I'll do this next year.)
Summer Camp and World Ember have been some of the most fun writing challenges I've done. I was able to expand a couple of my collaborative worlds during SC, and I started a new one! WE went very well. I accomplished my goal of 10K and I expanded my new world by a fair bit. There's still a lot that I need to work on, but I think I have a pretty solid foundation for it.
I'm still not 100% sure where to go next this new year, but I have a few ideas. (I hope you all look forward to them) Soon I'm hoping to expand each of my worlds and maybe publish my first manuscript! I don't know when, but it's somewhere in my schedule.
Before I go, I would like to say congratulations to all those who were able to accomplish their goals! And even those who didn't, I'm so happy and proud of you anyways! I hope this next year, brings so many more great writing memories!
Thanks to all who likes or reads or follows my work. Thank you so much! It means the world to me. Of course, a huge thanks to my collaborators, without their encouragement and advice I don't know where I'd be.
And thank you, to everyone who read this rather long and rambling post. Have a Happy New Year and Best Wishes to You in World Building!

Monster Hunting!
I think I can finally say this article is complete! Monster Hunting was the first article I submitted to WorldEmber, so I have spent some extra time making it all shiny and awesome. I hope you enjoy reading this, it was super fun to make! <3 Can't wait to check out other worlds in the New Year's Resolution's Challenge, a great portion of my entry will go towards showing off worlds that inspired me this WE!

WorldEmber and the Stubocalypse
With 26k words and 118 enhanced stubs written, I am declaring my WorldEmber finished. I have had an absolutely amazing time this WE, and it more than makes up for the failures of the previous two years. XD
I am about three quarters of the way through the Atlas category and looking forward to continuing to work on it. It's been so lovely having my creativity and excitement back.
I haven't been notifying this WE, but if you are interested in what I have been working on, they are all linked at the bottom of this article:
Thank you all for all the amazing reads this WorldEmber too! It has been a delight! :)

Finished!
Wooo! Just finished all my text for WE and published the last article! I was supposed to draw a lot this month as well....but.....I started playing Baldur's Gate 3. So I didn't get my drawings done. XD I'll draw them later instead. :3...did some character designs for Dana at least. This image won't be in their article. XD; Those have to match, and this one doesn't match my other character article images. XD;;
Anyway, how is your WorldEmber going?

#WorldEmber2023: A Lesson In Adaptability
They Don't Ask How, They Ask How Many!
As I am forever reminding my loyal Twitch.tv viewers, self care is urgent care. As the sun has faded, I have found myself reacting like the trees and shedding the small things to ensure I have the strength and energy to deal with the big things. I finally achieved the minimum 10,000 words necessary to conquer the WorldEmber challenge, even though I did not reach my start-of-event goal of 50K. To be honest, I let go of that pretty early in the month when it was clear that work pressure coupled with my seasonal depression would make such a goal just too much added strain.
Still, I believe in the old adage, "Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." And so, even though I knew I probably wouldn't achieve 50K, I still set myself the goal so that 'only' achieving 10K would feel like landing among the stars. I did this with the hope that any achievement would feel good at this point in the season.
I was right, this feels amazing!
I spent my efforts mostly in generic articles, exploring some of the people and events that I've been ignoring for a while, but that are proving to be absolutely critical to the functional plot of my novel. Just the rambling sorts of detail dumps that precede proper character developments. Here are all these random facts that I know, so that I can dig into the why behind them at a later time.
I also filled in the largest portion of an article I call "Shit Everyone Across Argentii Knows," so that I have a reference for this general hazy timeline of ages and ages of history. It's less relevant for the novel, but critical for organizing my thoughts and will become the outline for the primer that I'll be working on in the coming weeks.
Which brings me to a quick glance at the question...
What's Next?!
Well, in addition to continuing to prep for my new Worldbuilding Through the Tarot class that I'll be teaching at GenCon, I'm going to be spending some time revamping both my WA home page and my Patreon offerings. The former needs to be friendlier and more informative for new visitors, and the latter needs to be rewritten to incorporate the new content that I have planned for 2024.
I'm also planning to dig into my CSS and also explore some of the Grandmaster features I've yet to play with.

WorldEmber
So I was going to try and finish #WorldEmber2023, however I have been having pretty bad mental health issues this month, so I have not been able to really work on articles as much as I wanted to. But I have been trying to take care of myself so that's the most important part. <3 I'm proud of what I did get down tho.

New art for Malkora!
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!

Worldember finished, 10k reached!
It was a journey, but one I managed after all. And I couldn't be more proud of each article I wrote for it. All have a purpose, all expand the world, fill gaps or introduce new aspects. Besides a few spellbook articles I even got my hands on a few geography articles, which make me especially happy to have now written down.

I finally hit 10k words for #WorldEmber2023
As I properly started it just after Christmas, I didn't think I would manage it, to be honest. I've needed to do these articles for ages, because they relate to my ongoing #Fantasy manuscript Skirmishes and Schisms.
It's oddly Winter-themed, but not out of choice as such! It just happens to be that S&S is during Winter. Anyway, head to My WorldEmber Page if you want to find out more.
Hope you all have a good new year and all the best for those still finishing off #WorldEmber.

Reached 25k words for WorldEmber!
I had as objective to reach 10k words, as usual, but this year I've managed to reach 25k words!
And more importantly, I'm pretty happy with what I've written! They are more longer articles than I tend to write, having an average of 1,9k between all my 13 articles. And other than worldbuilding, I've even managed to write prose and do a bit of art! So, I think it's been a pretty fulfilling month!
These are the articles I've written this month:

Worldember 2023 - Success!
Got it done!
Well, I met and exceeded my goal for my first "real" Worldember. Last year I vaguely knew it was a thing but didn't really engage or make much progress, so my goal for 2023 was to actually make it to 10k words. Since I've gotten over 27k with two or three days left to play around, I'm feeling pretty great! And I love seeing all of the community stuff going on. I haven't had time to delve deeply into other people's worlds or I wouldn't be making any progress on my own, but I'm so looking forward to reading some of the stuff everyone has come up with in weeks and months to come. My Goals
I'm also excited to say that participating in Worldember prep in November and setting goals gave me the push and motivating I needed to flesh out some parts of my world history I had been procrastinating on. There's still a lot to do, but I was able to go in and put names and dates to some things that previously hadn't had them, and jot down real notes for things to work on in the future. I may have realized that I prefer people and character-focused worldbuilding to conflict and history heavy, but that just means I'll have to find a way to write those things through the lens of people to make it happen!

Inspiring Worlds This WorldEmber, Vol. 3
Back for the last time, bringing some more worlds that have particularly inspired me, or that I've particularly enjoyed this WorldEmber.
Is it really a list of mine if I don't include Ethnis? Christ, I don't have the words to describe how excited Ethnis makes me feel. Even if the article in particular is gloomy and dark. Ethnis makes me want to write, it gets me excited to work on my own world even if I'm ass-deep in a period of burnout. Barron in particular has written some amazing things this WE. I've particularly enjoyed the Rutas Surge.
Leashea has not only inspired a wave of Scavenger Hunts in various worlds, but she has also been creating a tsunami of plant articles. You see plants way less than you do animals on World Anvil, so it's lovely to see somebody creating so many, with art!
Wow, oh wow! Sh4d0wPh03n1x completed WorldEmber in ONE article! One of the most in-depth articles I've ever seen, you can learn all about the History of Processors in Shadow's article. And of course that's not all she's written. Check out Byte, one of the main characters of Computer Adventures!
Polina "Line" Arteev has been focusing on Magic and the core articles of Malkora this WorldEmber. While I've not announced it anywhere (but talked about it excessively), magic will be the big focus in my world in 2024, so seeing Strixxline's articles have been incredibly motivating for me. As well, Malkora is so close to 200 followers!! If you're not following, you definitely should!

PROGRESS UPDATE 12/28 To Regulate and protect
Hello All! it's been a good few months(AKA, over a year), since I did one of these hasn't it? With WE wrapping up and to celebrate the release of the 3rd installment in the Regulator Entry series, we figured it was about time we do long overdue progress update.
When it comes to characters, since our last progress update, there have been a lot of releases that have occurred since back in June of 2022,
The most recent releases have to do with the regulator series, with 3 out of 26 officially released as of the 22nd.
These entries can be found below:

150k accomplished! #WorldEmber2023
I don't think I'll manage 200k this month, unfortunately - unless I can somehow manage 12k words for the next four days, which is unlikely. I had a few break days too many for that wordcount - not that I'll penalise myself for that, everyone needs breaks. And still, my goal going into the month is now complete! Regardless of how much more I end up writing for the remaining few days, I know that this is a goal that I can be proud of.

The Order of the Blade Guardians - World of Vitallia
The Order of the Blade Guardians was founded to protect the realm against threats, outside of the influence of kings and queens. The first seven Blade Guardians were immortals, or beings with extraordinary abilities. Their deeds inspired acolytes! Read all about the Order in the article below!

WORLDEMBER WEEKLY WRAP-UP -- WEEK 4
WorldEmber
Christmas is but a memory but the smell of gingerbread, oranges and cloves will remain for a few more days if not weeks. :) It was a time of intense preparations and many many visits. I wrote some but published nothing yet, so...
I've decided to finish #worldember2023 with a blast and the final 6.4k worth of words will be divided into 3-4 articles. Is it doable? Looks at two articles 2.5k+ long Absolutely! It's quality over quantity now and it makes me super excited.
December schedule:

Finished my #WorldEmber2023 goal!
It might've just been two articles, but there's more than 10k posts between them. I want to get out one more, the last of the Barons, and finish up the article on one I started before Worldember, but I feel accomplished regardless.
Check out the second article that got me over my goal, and look forward to more!
This year, i'm really feeling like something's new and better with me, so i'm hoping for more and more progress to come.

WE entry and possible last one
Done a W E entry here but may call it quits after this. Partly a bit of burn-out and a few little niggles. That's life though. Anyway, back to the article in question, a giant tree stump:

WE WEEK 3
Hi everyone,
I hope you're all having fun with #WorldEmber2023 ! Here are the new articles I wrote this week:
A little kitten terror that has somehow found its way to the Dark Lord's manor.
Solarpunk magic: 1) Lime wood and its use in magic, 2) herbonumenology which is the use of magic-anchoring plants in healing.
Culture: 1) an example of legal curses cast on criminals, 2) a presentation of the ethnicity and culture of my empire, 3) an overview of some interesting professions available in my futuristic society and how they're perceived socially.
Character: Old Malik who is very competitive about the neighbouring wall painting competition.

Hope everyone had/is having a wonderful Christmas! Project Aurora Rework Commenced
I've been working hard on reworking Project Aurora, we have a lot of outdated posts that need updating, and a new structure will help us out as well. Currently I completed everything under the Category "New" and cleaned up the Homepage a little. It's already so much cleaner. I just recently discovered the World Anvil for myself and it's such a blast and even reached the WorldEmber goal!
My favourite new articles I've created have to be the following:
Perhaps you'll find interest in the world of Project Aurora. Have a great time and stay amazing! #WorldEmber2023 #fantasy #worldember #holiday

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas day! Mine was productive! Finished off the 10k!
Well, I finished off the WorldEmber 10k with one of my favorites, the Worldbane himself: Mordred.
WorldEmber was really productive for me. I really enjoyed finding the time to write more about my three favorite Teraltian characters: Castor, Korangar, and Mordred. I wrote a couple of interconnected articles, as well, just so I wouldn't have to make stubs that never got fleshed out in the end.

Merry WorldEmber Christmas!
WorldEmber has been a blast so far. I've seen so many awesome articles that I have yet to read, y'all have been keeping busy! There will be plenty to read for me next month. ^^
As for me, I've spent the majority of my WorldEmber slowly chipping away at one massive article about Processor History. It was so much fun, but it also taught me a few things. Big articles require big time to write, there's no going around it. In my case, I didn't want to overflow the readers with too much information, so I was also looking at ways to "hide" content for the main body of the article but still keep it accessible to those who wanted that extra info. I hope I did a decent job with that.
Furthermore, to keep myself engaged with the article and keep writing, I just need to take it step by step, Bit by Bit, Byte by Byte. In the end, I have a huge article to be proud of, and proud I am!
So, if you have some time to spare, or you want to learn more about Processor History, have a gloss over, or a full read, and let me know what you think!

Purple trees, yes please
I had a lot of traction out of the idea "Hey what if the trees in this one area were purple?"
I got four articles stemming from this, but the trees themselves are my entry for the species template category of Worldember this year.

Chapter 8 Out, and World-MaybeEmber!
Now that I've finished most of the leftover stuff on my regular blog for this year, I can focus on some fantasy fiction writing and world building.

Skirmishes and Schisms, Chapter 8
After releasing Ch8 for Followers (Màraparii) I totally forgot to make it public for the rest of the world. So that's been fixed! Emotions are running high following Carnael's outburst at the Stones of Myrn, but the announcement of Rusziné's exile is not the end of the plot against him.World-MaybeEmber!
I've finally done a long-overdue write-up of King Carnael II. After planning it, there's a lot to say, but I want to add more visuals before creating more text, otherwise it'll be an encyclopaedia entry. I don't know if I'll make it to 10k words for #WorldEmber2023 - my two articles were ones I did because they needed doing, not because of specific prompts. Time and health have not been on my side this December. But I'll try. If I don't get to chat with anyone beforehand, have a good #Christmas and here's to more writing and world-building in the new year.

100k WorldEmber Milestone
Wow, what a month it's been! As of a couple days ago, I succeeded in fulfilling my pledge this year by hitting 100,000 words written during #WorldEmber. As of writing this post, I'm currently at just under 115k words in total; although I don't expect that to go up much for the remainder of the event (probably not at all unless someone ends up closing in on me in second place on the leaderboard.)
I am incredibly happy with what I've achieved this year: This is my first ever WorldEmber, and I was able not just to meet my goals, but to blow past them by a significant margin. It has taken an incredible amount of work to get to this point, and I'm going to be taking a looooong break once this event is over, but I can definitely say I feel as if it's been worth it.
Because of all the work I've done, Pretheya now has nearly all of its core articles complete; it is now possible to browse the world and find information on all of the central events and parts of the setting. This is the culmination of more than a year and a half of work, and honestly I'm really proud. As a side-effect of this, enough of the central lore has now been worked out that I can begin starting work on some real, not-just-pure-worldbuilding projects. To that end, I'm very excited to say that I may be starting work on a visual novel set in Pretheya at some point this year! It's a passion project between me and my friend Hax (who also helped a lot with some of the page's CSS in the early days!), and so it's probably going to be pretty slow going; but I'm really looking forward to working on it nevertheless. We've not actually started work on it just yet, so it's too early to reveal any details about the project yet, but I will probably be talking more about it in 2024.
Anyway, that's all for now. Thank you so much to everyone who has left likes and supportive comments on my articles this year; it's meant so much to me! As well, if you haven't actually seen any of my work, you can check out all of the articles I've submitted for WorldEmber here.
Last but not least: I wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Almost 10K
Almost managed to get to 10k, just falling 200 short but will get there soon I hope ^^
Got quite a few new articles out for my new world including an introduction article which was not really there yet before :)
Also added an article for a syncretic religion in the alternative history.
And a new large city on the edge of the Macedonian Empire.

Worthy of a Missing Pip - Gold Collar Command Branch
Commodore Rammage's thoughts, as seen in my Gold Collar Military Formation article for #worldember2023 "You know those monsters in the basement, Lieutenant? The ones you promised humane conditions and rights not in their research specs to?
The Ithavoll and her crew are meant to be a secret project. Hidden among the hundreds of ships in each Fleet. So, I took the rank of Commodore to fly under most radar. Listen.
Being in Command is having two feet on separate continental shelves. Your left foot is firm on the Conglom's orders and the desires of the Board. On protecting the citizens of our Conglomerate and our rights to prove our collective worth. Your right foot is pushed into the soil by the weight of your crew and what benefits their continued lives. Yes, I technically took a demotion to run the Asset Project. I did it to protect the Conglom, to ensure my crew is hidden from our enemies, so we can complete our assignment: create Conglomerate Bio Machs solid enough to win the war for our planet.
I think that's worthy of a missing pip..."

I DID IT! 100 000 WORDS!
I have no idea how I've managed to actually make so much in the last 22 days. 100 000 words, somewhere around 150 articles (I'm not counting them again), and so much time put into one idea. I am proud of myself.
Finding that old flash drive certainly helped with inspiration and info, but I would say that it only provided about a third of what I've written. It's probably easy to tell when I got it, because I suddenly start using headings and a more formulaic layout, which I carried over to the following articles.
Honestly, I have done almost no editing on this whole thing, so maybe that's what I should do for the rest of #WorldEmber2023, let my brain rest and edit what I've already got to make sure it all fits together and makes sense.
Anyway, here's a link to my contest page if you want to go look at the frankly ridiculous amount of short articles I've written so far.

The halfway mark of Worldember reached!
I started late, but better late than never. Still have 5000 words to go to get to my set goal, but we will do that, I am inspired enough for it.
Have now written 5 interesting articles in the past weeks I am proud of them all :3

I kind of feel like I've run out of things to write about Havenport.
And considering that I'm currently at almost 93 000 words for #WorldEmber2023, I kind of want to try and break the 100k mark. Now I'm wondering which city/town/village I should focus on next, because I have a whole bunch to choose from.
I'll probably focus on the other Capital cities first, TBH, but can't decide which to start with. There's Mezrillia, Northfort and Goldshire. I have a bit written up for each of them, but it's mostly just ideas and stuff I got from a city generator to help inspire me. Which one do you guys think I should start building up some more?
Likes, comments and suggestions for how I could improve what I have are appreciated.

Evenacht and #WorldEmber2023
Well, I thought I would have a few more articles done by this point. I have several written, they just need images (I may have underestimated how busy I would be getting the next installment of two serials up and running this month).
My first article is about the living sentient beings in the Evenacht, the umbrareign. There are nine subspecies, but they don't think of themselves in that light. Yep, I drew 9 pics for this one.
****
My second article is a short story for the prose category and tells (some of) Qira's backstory. Qira is a main character in my Evenacht serial, and he's not a huge fan of the Aristarsian culture he grew up in. His people were obsessed with trying to find a mortal avatar of their deity, Light, and he was one of the unlucky lads sent to train to become the embodiment of the divine. In the story, he's ready to take down the Light Temple and end the corruption found within, no matter the cost.

I hope everyone's WorldEmber has been a blast so far, and will continue to be so.

Milestone: 200 Explorers!
I woke up to 200 explorers of Solaris! Thank you all so much, what a year this has been, from winning Most Beautiful New World of 2022, to 200 today! Thank you to my Ko-Fi supporters, who made it possible for me to upgrade to Sage this year. Thank you to everyone who's followed, liked and shared my work on Solaris! Thank you to all my Camp Chill and Comment Carolling friends, who've kept me hyped during events!
As it's #Worldember2023 I'll make this a two in one and give you and update on how we're doing at Solaris. So far I've written 22 articles, and Sky has written 11. Earlier this month we explored the Godqueen of Venus and the system around her, and now we're diving into Jupiter's upper class, the Senate and the faith. Dig in, and I hope you enjoy!

Holy heck, I actually finished it. My longest article to date.
I am talking about the longest piece of Prose for Havenport, and technically #WorldEmber2023, I have written to date. Over 3000 words, it has been the work of two weeks as I add various articles, stories, and locations to the city. Now I have finally decided that I have written enough on it for now, though I may very well add to it in the future. Anyway, if you take a look, grab a cup of your preferred beverage, cause this is LONG.

The muses LEAD me in an interesting direction
The nation of Swynfaredia has long been one of my two main setting for adventures, so I have been fleshing out a lot of regional sites there for Worldember. My favorite is Klarica County.
It grew organically in story hooks as I wrote it because it turns out a lead mines run by necromancy wielding spy masters have a lot of interesting history.
So while I have made many new articles using the Settlement template this month, I'm putting this one as my submission for the settlement category.

WORLDEMBER WEEKLY WRAP-UP -- WEEK 3
WorldEmber
Last week went by fast and furious and I dedicate myself mostly to species. With an upcoming article about Pots, an article about the Geese came out. The articles about: deers, boars, roe and snails are in the making.
The drafts of the boy, who broke the world and the organization he lead were given more love and are almost ready to publish.And my second love and passion of breadmaking will proooooobably have its release this week. There are so many loaves that deserve love and attention, but the article would grow so big... ;(
Reading and commenting
I got around a couple of Theiket's new dragons:
There's also a lot of new articles in this year's vehicle section, e.g.:
If there are some awesome articles you read last week, feel free to share them in the comments, so we can learn from one other.

World Ember Week 2
Week 2 of #WorldEmber2023 is done! How are you all doing with it? I hope it's going well.
As for me, I've gotten quite a bit done in this past week, getting past the 50k word count with 8 new articles! I'll probably be slowing down now that I've reached that, but to be honest, I'm not sure, it's really just whether I get the inspiration for more.
I won't put all of the articles in this post, but I will link some of the ones I'm most proud of. Check them out if you'd like!

Techno-Tats, Techno-Gats, and Techno-Tots— all are possible for the right money.
I'm super proud with how my last #worldember2023 article came out. It's been great fun to play more with CSS and how to make an article catch the eye a bit more.
Between the Palisade Battalion and the Projector Film I think this has been my most promising Worldember since Perduro back in 2018.

Inspiring Worlds this WorldEmber, Vol. 2
I really enjoyed making my first Inspiring Worlds post, so I thought I'd make another, a bit farther into WorldEmber!
First up we have Etrea, by Dr Emily Vair-Turnbull. During WorldEmber this year, Emy has been focusing on publishing enhanced stubs! She's been writing 100-200 words for each stub, going through category by category, tackling over a thousand stubs in her world. Her work has been incredibly inspiring, and it has really made me want to publish my stubs, too.
Next is wow that's a lot of stars, or TALOS, by Rin Garnett. Rin has produced a nice collection of incredible articles this WE. You can see the time, effort, and passion put into these articles, and Rin is an admirable writer.
Chris L has appeared not once, not twice, but three times in the WAdvent Calendar this year already, a testament to just how amazing his world and his writing is. Kitoypoy has also been working on smashing out stubs, and it's been wonderful seeing his amazing world grow bigger and bigger, article by article.

WE WEEK 2
Hi everyone,
I hope you're all having fun with #WorldEmber2023 ! I wrote 3 new articles this week:
A kidnapping announcement written by enemies to taunt the empire - it was very fun to format and draw for!
Item article about runic diagrams and how they anchor enchantment
The imperial palace, with rooms that moves and a huge carnivorous moss that anchors the ward system

Malkora's first critically successful WorldEmber!
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:
#WorldEmber2023 #WorldEmber #Malkora #TheOwlworks #Fantasy
- 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.
- 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.

I spent the entire day yesterday transferring docs from the lost USB to WA. I am now at 42 159 words for #WorldEmber2023
35 articles so far, and I'm not even a third of the way through the folders and docs on the flash drive. Of course, I've had to make changes and stuff to the various characters, places, and events so they can match up with my current vision for Starthnora and Havenport.
That being said, there's so much inspiration and just plain good ideas on this thing that I'm praising my past self for being so productive. Most of the docs are for Havenport, but a good amount of them are for the other major cities on the main continent. Of course, names will need to be changed to match with my current world, but that's pretty easy to do.
Overall, I think I'm going to be able to hit the 50k word mark before the end of the month just because of this flash drive, which excites me to no end. :D
That being said, there's so much inspiration and just plain good ideas on this thing that I'm praising my past self for being so productive.

Just hit 100k for #WorldEmber2023 and I am so so proud of myself for making it this far!
This has been an incredible journey so far, and I'm hoping I can keep up this pace to finish off the month! And even if I don't, I know that I can still be incredibly proud of the feat that I have accomplished. Thank you to all of the lovely people who have supported and encouraged me so far, including (but not limited to!):

The hardest part of world building for a TTRPG like D&D for me is having to wait to reveal all the cool secrets I've crafted.
Also, knowing that there's a bloody good chance I may be the only one to ever know they exist at all. I swear there needs to be a #DMSupportGroup :-D
For example, I just created a fun myth for my world, but I don't dare post it to share it publicly, because if I do, my players might see it and ruin a cool reveal. I even recorded a poem for it. *sigh*.
My grandfather always said "Hunger is the Best Sauce" - I hope the same is true for the delayed gratification of the big - and small - reveals in my upcoming campaign!
I hope everyone is having a fun and productive #WorldEmber2023! Happy Holidays one and all!

Second World Anvil Article done
Aldottorai Colonial Trading Company
So, this has been the biggest article project since the month's start and only finished. So, not a pace I can keep up if I want to finish World Ember. Plus, it was a bit of a grueling project going through all that information and detail. It was super useful, at least, when it comes to how I want to frame and develop things in the series of novellas I'm working on. On the plus side, this single article accounted for close to 30% of my monthly goal.

Tis the season of Worldember, and the perfect time to finish the design for some [i]Regulation[/i]
Hello everyone!
It's been a while hasn't it?
We've been quite busy these days on Betelgeuse, ASPECT and the handbook for the Eventual 1ed of the RPN And the totally unplanned complete loss of my Twitter/X profile, that I just started to rebuild , but that doesn't mean we weren't planning on participated in #worldember2023
We've already got several entries prepped for it. We are just waiting for the Early Acess perk timer to tick down the rest of the way for some of them.
In the mean time, we have just released the second entry on the Regulator Class being, this one on Perses, the Regulator of Destruction:
https://metaverserpn.world/a/Perses-EV-0000-2
We hope you enjoy the read for this one, as there will be a lot more coming this month.
See you in the next entry

Emotional Post coming up! Started my world Vitallia when I was 13 (now 38).
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great time forging stuff!
I just wanted to share a few words and express a vast range of feelings.
I've been building my world Vitallia since the age of 13. I never stopped to be honest. I kept all my notes from every campaign, all the characters, the Gods, the monsters, the events. I used them all as canon for my books and my world. I've been adding everything to World Anvil for the past 3 years and i've JUST FINISHED!
Over 700 articles, characters, kingdoms, history, creatures, events. So much stuff that I wish to share with everyone. I really hope that people will start to use this world for their campaigns, it's like a dream of mine.
If you wish to take a look, I suggest that you click on the Chronicles of Vitallia first at the homepage to get an overview of the world's timeline. This will give you a hint about the world and how it functions.
Of course, the world is not 100% complete, there's still maps for certain regions to be added and I will always add new details. But still, this is a glorious day!
Please feel free to reach out for any questions, I'd love to talk with you all.
Any feedback will of course be appreciated.

At 148% for WE, but now I'm updating older articles for characters that I've already written quite a bit for.
This means that I can't enter them into the #WorldEmber2023 contest, but I'm feeling inspired enough that it doesn't really matter to me. Here are some of the character articles I've been working on/will be working on.
