The Obsidian Palace has been read my Alpha readers. Overall, the reactions to it have been extremely favorable, though there are a few points that need polish, which makes me happy. That means I’ll be starting the next stage of the editing process this week. With things there at an ebb, I’ve managed to start […]

While there I met an artist, Taylor Fischer, who I commissioned to sketch a character that’s been […]
So, last week I explained something about the elves of Senkar, and in the process I told everyone about the Illisyr, or the dark elves, and how they were exiled into the Thorned Wood.
