Also I'll give a more proper writing update in November, but I have been chipping away at Chapter 1! For now have this preview about a pretty important variation MC can have depending on the ending they got in the Prologue!

hello! i n e e d to let you know that your writing holds me in a chokehold. also, found a typo near the end: ..."To save the world." Had been Iver's answer. One which echoed Thistle all those years ago. You decided you didn't it was an answer you didn't like.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!! And thanks for the report!

Been putting together setting inspo for the city on my downtime, so have a moodboard!

This is more a snapshot than anything, since the City of Forgotten Silver has a lot of districts all vastly different from each. It can sometimes feel like another world entirely going from one district to the other

When does this IF take place like Late Medieval Era, 1600s+? If you had to assign like an modern equivalent time period since this is a fantasy IF

1800s! Gaslamp fantasy is similar to steampunk in that they're both centered around the late 19th/early 20th century!

Also to those not familiar with gaslamp fantasy it's like steampunk, if steampunk was more horror less sci-fi!

Anyway here's the actual link to the piece I wrote originally: The City of Forgotten Silver

What inspired this story?

This actually started as something I wrote for the solo journaling ttrpg called "Alone on a Journey"! You can buy the game on itch and you can read what I wrote originally here!

It was supposed to be a one-off writing exercise but I really enjoyed the vibes in it. A few key characters were made from the briefly mentioned characters in the session. I just grabbed whatever I wrote and expanded it!

Beyond that, I'd say there's hints from books like The City of Ember, The Golden Compass, and the Inkheart trilogy! All wrapped up in the vibes of gaslamp fantasy!
