Here's a quick snip of progress on the latest map I'm working on, detailing two regions:
The technocratic Republic of Saragos: a nation founded by technologists exiled from Venthir by its paranid sphinx-queen.
Naareth: a matriarchal society known for its eusociality and cities that become isolated for half the year during tidal flooding, strandin...

I've been looking forward to making and sharing this map for a while - it details some lore that is important to the region of Gnoth, which has a lot of links with mysticism, alchemy and philosophy, the three of which are largely indistinguishable there.

I recorded a video of myself working on the topography of the Gnothi maps that I recently uploaded. I;m not an editor and it took me a while to figure out how the software works, so this is far from perfect - it has no audio, for instance - though hopefully it proves useful to those of you who are interested in the process through which I make the maps.
I'm making this available t...

Here's some background detailing the manumission of the Korachani empire's vat-born clones that were utilised in its armies.
The Seven (capital T capital S) are the rulers of the empire, with individuals drawn from various state and church organisations, and they take care of the day-to-day ruling of Korachan
I'm thinking of doing a monthly activity asking all my patrons (that's all 42 of you, as of writing this - hopefully it will be more as I get round to next month's update!) for any suggestions for stuff you might be interested in seeing, outside of my normal updates.
This might be a titbit from the world lore that I mentioned somewhere in passing but never elaborated on, an aspect o...

Here's some flash fiction and the fact-box about Pelasgos (I'll be posting an updated map of Pelasgos next week). I will continue to post a little something with each region as it helps convey a bit more of the character of a region.
Please let me know by liking or commenting below, thanks :)

The attached image is from the taxonomical section of the Encyclopaedia Elyden and is a continuation of the recent series I started. This one features the unimaginatively-titled apexaur, which is an apex synapsid predator that's sure to be a challenge to any traveller that's unfortunate-enough to come across one.
Please let me know what you think!
Thanks :)

I'm going back over some of my older maps, updating to topography to better fit in with my style as its evolved over the last few years.
I started with Pelasgos, and the results are here, in a handy GIF.
I'll be updating the labels, and adding a lot more, including some details that I hadn't yet come up with back then, including elevation markers, tainted regions, and certain labe...

The attached image is from the taxonomical section of the Encyclopaedia Elyden and is a continuation of a new series. This one features the chitera, which is a creature that I've had in my head for a good 10-years now - it feels good to finally get this one onto 'paper'.
Please let me know if you like these as I put more up if they prove to be more popular.
Thanks :)

This is one of the new things I've been looking forward to showing off - commissioned art! Thanks to all my patrons I can now start to commission art depicting key locations, moments and personalities in Elyden. I have many more such pieces planned so keep an eye out!
This piece is by the talented artist Bruce Brenneise
