After a month of who he is, this month we see who he was. Today, with a beautiful illustration from Furlana, and in the prose all through the month, I am laying out the framing of so much of the #TeryteChronicles and setting a course for my writing.

I am rounding out a month of trying to tell people who The Thane is, the person he is now, and this archive piece speaks to it a lot for me, even if it does not centre him. Instead we see the impact of his actions, and the kindness he can show.

The last Monday of a month I've themed around who The Thane is, and a sweet moment that's been on my mind for a while. Chance encounters are one of my favourite things to write, they always hold a magic for me, I hope this one will for you all too.

As we get to another Friday, we get to another archive post, and on a month focused on "who The Thane really is" and the day after my 8th Anniversary, its hard to think of something more fitting than Embrace, inspired by the art which was an incredible gift from Lana.

After two years on this project, 24 illustrated stories, 100 total stories and 200k words, I have finished one of my very first goals with writing the Teryte Chronicles and delivered all 13 lineage chronicles, concluding with today's Chronicle, New Blood.

It's been a hell of a journey so far.

An archive post, but very on theme for the week with The Thane showing his true colours and interacting with tiny children. This time with glorious art by Furlana, I hope you enjoy Connection.

Cynosure is our story for the week, meaning something that acts as a guide. And here that means a millenia old dragon trying to help a lost toddler. I hope you enjoy the cuteness and another story pointing to The Thane's character.

It's a Friday, so I'm sharing a silly little story from a character that's been on my mind lately. In fact, a whole set of characters that need more love. Soon . . .

First Monday of the month and Furlana has delivered something amazing once more. Art and story today have distance, the sight of subtle protest, and the observers that discuss it.

Well, this was an archive post for Lana (furlana or furlana_art most places) and now it's the #TeryteChronicles archive post, here to remind everyone that I do write smut. Perhaps I should write more? I've been bogged down with history and politics and plot and all that stuff.

We end the month of cuteness with bittersweet story based off of a very cute idea. And some time with the much underwritten Queen Passantra. I hope you all enjoy it even half as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Friday means a story from the archive's and a late post because I was writing. But to stick with the themes of my writing today, and so next week's new story, we have:

Ancient Family History!

Millenia old dragons tend to have a lot of it after all.

#dragons #fantasy #writing

You can read it, and a nearly hundred other stories from the archives of the #TeryteChronicles here:

A day late, but well worth the delay, at least to my mind. This week we have a lineage chronicle following the Spespers, a powerful, and self-indulgent lineage of dragons from the islands to the north of Teryte who clashed heavily with humans in their early years.

Today's story from the archives of #TeryteChronicles is a little trip back to the college years of one of the world's most elusive mages, joining Eij as she revisits Castine.

This week is another cute little moment for #TeryteChronicles and one that is bittersweet for me as I learned today that one of the places that inspired it closed it's doors a month or so back. A dreadful shame, but a sweet story today.

Posting from the archive, and this week I've had the Parobials on my mind. So I'm going to share the first story to feature one, beautifully illustrated by Furlana, I can't wait until we get designs for the Parobials themselves pinned down.

With the northern hemisphere experiencing it's Summer Solstice on Wednesday, I thought it only fitting for this week's story to look at how Teryte celebrate the occasion with traditions from across the New Federation.

If you're curious for more of this kind of thing, there is a sibling piece from half a year away, perhaps more fitting for our southern hemisphere friends passing midwinter.

It's a penultimate Monday story update and that means another lineage from the #TeryteChronicles This month is Parobial, a story that is a really clear point for how much growing up on #scifi affects my #fantasy #writing, enjoy!

https://www.aksan.dev/writing/parobial

This week's story is a much overdue introduction of a character I'm rather fond of. Without further ado, she's crossed Teryte to the Caerulean range and deserves her formal presentation at court.

First Monday of the month, so another story illustrated by Furlana, this time with the wonderful Leonastra making an appearance and a story of her making a special introduction at the castle.
