Judge of Mystics
Scope
The motivation behind building Judge of Mystics
As a receptacle for the Judge of Mystics Saga's world bible, to aide in collaboration, reader enjoyment & an attempt to help my own dang mind remember a decade's worth of worldbuilding.
The goal of the project
A series of magic realism & mythpunk based novels, creative projects & multimedia collaborations.
Judge of Mystics's Unique Selling point
An imaginative comparison of archetypal mythological bases, where various cultural paradigms are 'modernized' through character & cultural development in lieu of retconning. The past happened in its context, in a global perspective.
It was not always pretty, nor do the sentiments of ancient ways match with modern perspectives. While acknowledging the past, I hope the Judge of Mystics Saga will help bridge the gap between contextualization and reconciliation within our shifting world.
A non-linear way of viewing storytelling, with absurdist and surreal elements in true Mythpunk alignment.

Reader Experience
Challenged, provoked and amusing. I play with emotionally heady scenes, catharsis and often hard to swallow topics, while promising for every valley, I'll write a corresponding high.
Humour is always part of my work, as intrinsic as the emotional virility of characters clinging tooth and nail to their desires and duties.
Reader Tone
For every valley, I promise to bring you to the mountaintop.
