This post used to provide general worldbuilding information about Elonth, but the worldbuilding has expanded greatly since then and this post became outdated. It is now repurposed as a basic character guide and chapter index. I am in the process of setting up a wiki to store worldbuilding information, but feel free to contact me on Discord to ask any questions you might have.
Character Guide
This section is intended to help you remember who’s who if you’ve forgotten who a character in the story is. The sections on Mar and Irikshan also contain links to the chapters of their stories.
Mar Sterkvleuel
A blue and orange Ebonscale-Tumenzarian halfbreed. Aged 34 in 2020, his life was interrupted when his advanced ability trapped him in a coma. He was sent to the city of Tumenoord to study under the guidance of Irikshan, the head of the Raifal Mage College, who has an advanced ability thought to be similar to Mar’s.
