A major wrench has been thrown in the political squabbles between nations on the continent of Arjin. With the discovery a new, unexplored continent, Celenia, nations are rushing to colonise the new lands and claims its resources for themselves. Old conflicts are left festering in the homelands as the lords and ladies of the world gaze towards a new horizon, leaving their people to toil in the dust. The old rivalries bubble under the surface and with the rise of a new ruler of the grand Empire of Kfandr, war has never looked as likely as now. Celenia, however, is not what it seems to be.

September Announcement
Announcement: 2 Sep 2020
Summary
August was a productive month and I managed to get a hell of a lot of stuff done on CD10 Advanced. Several modules are now updated and ready for playtest, so if you're a Patron at Gamemaster+ level, head on out and peruse! It's all done for you! September
September will see the work continuing on bouncing back and forth between the Overhaulening and updating CD10 Advanced. I also want to start getting the groundwork laid for the generic magic system module for CD10A. Right now we just have Psionics from CotC and Witchcraft from DS done. We need a system for GMs and worldbuilders to construct their own magic system upon and that's something I wanna try to focus on, given time. Patreon articles
With one patreon-requested article finished last month, we now have a new article requested for September that I'll be getting done at some point. If you missed last month's article, it's available here.
Celenia now has a unified place to access all the things with the url: www.celenia.se. It leads to the primary setting of Cinders of the Cataclysm, but the navbar can take you anywhere within the Celenia universe! As always, I'll be livestreaming large parts of my efforts and if you haven't yet, drop by the streams (link below) and spend time with wonderful people in chat and have your questions about worldbuilding, game development, conlangs or roleplaying answered!

Dark Shadows is a low magic, feudal dark fantasy world where three major species, collectively called the Kykr, form the dominating civilization on the continent of Arjin. The three species do not live separate from one another, but collectively they've spread to several countries, cultures and religions. They find comfort in their faith and nationality over racial boundaries.
