Slide transcripts under the cut!
[TRANSCRIPT BEGINS]
Slide 1: Title slide
When Comes the Dawn, book 1 of 2
Slide 2: wdym my fantasy story has to have magic?
Set in a fantasy world loosely set in the late antiquities/early middle ages., where everyone alive has the capability to harness magic. But actually using it requires strict and intensive education (and maybe a phD or 5) so most people only know very basic spells.
In Trinitarian belief, it’s believed that the goddess Meidther gave her blood to bring humans to life, and because of that people are imbued with magic. No living person can be alive without magic because it’s literally impossible! Wait -- the emperor of Aetier has a what????
So there’s this weird phenomenon where on very rare occasions, babies will be born without magic. Called “deadbornes”, these babies are incompatible with life and usually end up passing away minutes to days later. With one notable exception (we’ll circle back to this later)
Slide 3: the set-up
The Empire of Aetier (or if you ask any local: “the gods’ specialist little empire”) has a very unique way of handling succession in the imperial family. That way is murder. Just murder. All heirs plot against one another in a formal-informal system called “The King’s Game.” It’s supposed to be a competition of skills, but it’s kind of warped itself into state-sanctioned fratricide (NOT to be confused with a battle royale. That’s just uncouth /j)
The last King’s Game ended 22 years ago, when Dantalion vi Aetier defeated and killed his half-sister in battle. As the victor, he crowned himself the new Vasilier of the empire and proceeded to bring in a new golden age of prosperity for his people. And nothing is wrong and everything is beautiful, and there is no way this can go wrong
... right?
It all starts on the day Fenice was born... where instead of being the healthy and uber powerful child Dantalion expected her to be, Fenice turns out to be a deadborne. Deadbornes are considered harbingers of ill omens, and siring one is a terrible way to start your new reign. And even stranger still is the fact that Fenice...doesn’t die? Someone call the priest and ask them what does it mean if your death omen refuses to go away
Slide 4: The plot
The end of the Hesperia-Aetier war brought new lands under the Empire’s rule, and with it, new ways to gain power and prestige in the Imperial Court. The biggest thorn in the empire atm is that Hesperia’s last king is still wandering the lands somewhere, waiting to strike.
Imperessa Fenice vi Aetier (who’s still alive and kicking) just lost her mom in the war, and now she’s desperate to prove herself to her estranged father that she’s more than a disappointment and wasted potential. And what better way to do that than to succeed him as the next Vasilier?
The problem? Only those that undergo an Ascension are considered legitimate contenders for the throne. The other problem? Dantalion won’t give her one.
Fenice: “Trade offer: I receive my own province to rule and an Ascension. You receive the head of the deposed king of Hesperia.” Dantalion: “Deal. But you have to marry his brother though” Fenice: “What”
[in big, bold, italicized font] disclaimer: this is not a romance
Slide 5: The plot pt. 2
Now wedded and gifted with a province of her own to rule , Fenice actually has to set-up her own power base and follow through with her end of the deal to find and kill the runaway king, as well as extinguish the rebellions he’s so keen on igniting.
But the more she looks for him, the more she realizes he’s being backed by someone much more powerful. But who?
And on totally unrelated note, there seems to be some weird rumors going around of some guy claiming to be Aretos vi Aetier, the son of the very same person Dantalion killed during the King’s Game 20+ years back. But that’s obviously fake news. Surely no one will fall for it!
Slide 6: The POV characters
[image description, the slide is split into two parts with fenice on the left and nikephoros on the right. end image description]

his country? conquered. his brother? in hiding. his sister? captive. himself? trying not to die of liver failure

generally a nice guy but recent events has him very stressed and angry 24/7

helped raise fenice and is now serves her as her guardian/protector. that is her child thank you very much
had a shounen-style rivals-to-friends-to-lovers arc with fellow fidari Thetis. It’d be great if it wasn’t for their explosive break-up
[heading] sartore vitae
28, he/him
he can mansplain, manipulate, and manwhore his way into and out of any situation
has a cool eye-patch

I reworked a lot of things with the draft including Fenice's position in Isidore, Hesperia's power structure, Sola's introduction, etc.
Charles has also now obtained a Traumatic Event TM in his backstory!
In totally unrelated news, there is not a new vi Aetier siblings on the family tree, but don't worry he doesn't make an appearance in the wip.

WHEN COMES THE DAWN | a wip reintroduction
↳ General Info
genre: new adult fantasy court intrigue pov: 3rd person dual pov stage: re-planning/drafting started: 9.3.2023 projected word count: ~90k Book 1 of 2
FENICE VI AETIER, a portent of ill omens and the estranged daughter of the Vasilier, ignites a dangerous succession game between her and her half-siblings, where losing means death and winning means an empire.
The end of the Hes-Aei war brings with it a chance to prove her worth to her father. The challenge is simple: bring him the head of the deposed king of Hesperia, and Fenice will be granted an Ascension, marking her as a legitimate contender for the throne. But finding the defeated king in his own lands would prove to be harder than Fenice imagined— especially when the remnants of her father’s last war starts rearing its head.
↳ The King's Game
A system decreed by the first emperor of Aetier that whoever among his children is the most skillful shall inherit his crown. But time has warped the rules of inheritance dramatically. The only way to survive is to win, and the only way to win is to be the last one standing.
↳ The Major Players
FENICE VI AETIER ◇ the contender | The worst-kept secret of the imperial family, and now an unknown factor in the politics of the Aetier court. The King's Game is her chance to stake her place in history. What she seeks is glory eternal, and she will do whatever it takes to get it.
NIKEPHOROS DEOMINOS ◇ the serpent | The prince of a conquered kingdom, now nothing more than a war prize. He muffles his anger with practiced smiles, playing the game of deception even as it tears him apart at the seams. He will lose either way, all that matters is deciding what he can bear losing.
CHARLES VI AETIER ◇ the favorite | The Vasilier's son with the world at the palm of his hand. The lonely prince with a gentle heart and a willingness to turn a blind eye to the cracks in his perfect family.
SOLA EIDOS ◇ the hound | A man of of unknown origin and a shadowed past, his real name buried beneath the soil of his homeland. He is an information broker, a spy, an assassin-- if you pay the right price. The one thing that can never be bought is his loyalty, a worthy master is hard to find.
SARTORE VITAE ◇ the enigma | An eccentric noble from Leohnthal who can charm his way to a seat at every table. Great with words and even better at half-truths, he is a man that sheds faces as easily as a snake sheds its skin.
Find more WCTD content with the series tag #series.wctd and keep an eye out for monthly progress updates with #wctd-monthly -- the first post coming soon!

when comes the dawn monthly update {4.30.2024}
not me being massively late in posting this and also ignoring my draft oops lets all pretend i posted this in april
THE STATISTICS
the draft → 44,247 words words written this month → 6,441 words total words written this year → 35,384 words hours spent writing this month → 9 hours
APRIL CAMP NANO SUMMARY
6,441/15,000 words written. As always...nano's schedule is so not student friendly lmao.
STORY NOTES
Rewrote the aftermath of the banquet scene twice. Still not totally satisfied with what I went with, but at least it won't overcomplicate and derail the plot
Expanded more on Marius Tracellis. He now has a secret librarian boyfriend <3
Added a new scene towards the beginning of the draft and rewrote the aftermath of Titania's funeral. I'm planning on adding a scene between Dantalion and Fenice that's....not quite family bonding but it's certain something.
I got burned out during the majority of April between final exams and nano, so I'll be taking a short break on the wctd draft and will be focusing on lighter stuff like character studies and the like.

when comes the dawn monthly update {4.2.2024}
This was supposed to be posted yesterday but considering I posted like 2 wip things that day + the april fools boopfest, I thought it'd be better to hold off till today lol
THE STATISTICS
the draft → 39,251 words words written this month → 8,008 words total words written this year → 28,943 words hours spent writing this month → 12 hours
STORY NOTES
my struggles this month were centered around 2 major and somewhat lengthy scenes: the poisoning scene at the banquet and Sola's introduction
Reworked the poisoning scene. Changed the route of the poison, and instead of Fenice noticing and successfully avoiding the assassination attempt, she notices the poison a second too late
Aspects of Sola's introduction were also changed. Instead of Sola successfully escaping Fenice and Leda at the banquet and necessitating his search to have a second meeting, Leda prevents Sola from escaping allowing Fenice to make a deal with him then and there
Added an interlude between Dantalion and Andras!
Rethinking some stuff about my current magic system. No concrete changes just yet, but I know that I definitely want to change it

when comes the dawn — major players ; the imperessa's circle
Leda Bryennia as THE GUARDIAN
Forty-eight. She/her. Honored Fidari of the Imperessa Fenice. Leda has served Fenice all her life under different roles, but now she is Fenice's oath-bound fidari, sworn to protect and serve until her dying breath.
Sola Eidos as THE HOUND
Twenty-seven. He/Him. A man of many talents. When a botched job lands Sola under the imperessa's thumb, he must decide whether to bow his head or face the executioner's axe.
Caius as THE HEALER
Twenty-four. They/Them. Caius mends fractured bones and broken skin to atone for a sin that is not theirs, and is burdened by knowledge that can devastate armies and change the course of war.
Necenia Pollonis as THE KEEPER
Twenty. She/her. Mystikoi of the Imperessa Fenice. Daughter of one of the Nine Great Houses of Isidore, her sharp wit and even sharper memory lands her a position in the Imperessa's household-- a noteworthy achievement, if only the Imperessa wasn't the enemy of her family.
Thetis as THE WATCHER
Forty-eight. She/her. Commander of The Vasilier's Sanctorian Guard. The last thing she wants to do is babysit the new Kaisarim of Isidore, but the Vasiler's word is law, and she will fulfill her duties even if she must confront the heart she buried long ago.
Marius Tracellis as THE TURNCOAT
Thirty-six. He/him. Vice Governor of Isidore. The arrival of the new Kaisarim has made his position vulnerable, and having incurred enmity from both sides, he must find whatever protection he can to maintain all that he's earned.

when comes the dawn — the principal actors
Fenice Eucleia Titaniae vi Aetier
"I cannot be a threat if I have no fangs to bite."
i. 20 years old. She/Her. Her Imperial Highness the Imperessa, Kaisarim of Isidore.
ii. A princess and the blight of her father's golden age. A girl that's been dead since the day she was born and yet still breathes. Even if the whole world wishes it so, she refuses to live in obscurity, refuses to die forgotten. Calculative and shrewd, she grasps at any opportunity for advancement that she can, clawing her way to power even if she must sacrifice pieces of herself to attain it.
iii. If the gods have seen it fit to let her live, then there must be a reason for it. And if there is not, then she will carve her destiny into the stars with her own hands.
Nikephoros Deominos
Nikephoros’s eyes burned with rage, teeth bared in a blood-stained smile. “No.”
i. 24 years old. He/Him. His Highness the Prince Consort, prince of Hesperia
ii. The once proud prince laid low. Rage runs through his veins like fire, tempered only by the desire to keep his younger sister safe. Charming, witty, and handsome when he isn't spilling vitriol from his mouth. Once upon a time he was a man certain of his place in the world, but now he must continuously spin himself a convoluted web of reasons to justify his ever shifting loyalties.
iii. All that he wants is to protect those who are precious to him.

my cinnamon roll: charles
my poor little meow meow: six
Idc if you think "poor little meow meow" is annoying, it's not the same as "cinnamon roll/smol bean" and you KNOW this. Cinnamon roll and smol bean were cutesy complimentary words used to mean "precious" or "adorable." When I call someone a poor little meow meow I am embodying the essence of a wealthy victorian widow lifting the chin of a shivering street urchin with her cane.

wtw relationships week → protagonist & antagonist (ft. deuteragonist)
↳ Fenice + Aretos
They're cousins, at least if Aretos is who he truly says he is. And if he is, then they are in direct competition for the throne Fenice desires so much. They developed an unlikely friendship in Hesperia, when Aretos masqueraded as the enigmatic noble Sartore Vitae. Fenice often relied on his counsel and information to help bring Isidore under her thumb. Aretos, meanwhile, sees a lot of himself in Fenice, almost the the point of intense projection. He sees Fenice as an ally in his own vengeance against Dantalion, if only he could make her see that for herself.
↳ Fenice + Nike
They're bound for eternity in holy matrimony. Neither of them are happy about it, but their happiness hardly matters when politics is thrown into the mix. But their status as husband and wife doesn't change the fact that they, and their families, are bloody enemies. Fenice must watch her back against any of Nike's schemes, constantly aware of the viper that sleeps in her bed each night. Nike must sacrifice his pride and be subservient to the daughter of his enemy to protect his younger sister, but he cannot simply standby as his 'wife' plans to kill his brother.
↳ Nike + Aretos
Aretos and Nike have a working relationship. Aretos is one of the powers supporting Nike's brother from the shadows, and ever since Nike's marriage Aretos has been working as the liaison between the two Deominos brothers. But despite this, Nike knows Aretos is the furthest thing from a friend or ally.

wtw relationships week → friends
↳ Sola + Fenice
At first, it was work relationship born out of blackmail and the threat of execution. Eventually, it became a partnership, and maybe what one could call devotion. Sola couldn't tell you exactly when it became that way or what drew him to pledge his loyalty to the little princess; perhaps she reminded him of someone, and he was getting sentimental. For Fenice, Sola was one of the first true allies she made in Isidore. He's her confidant, a voice of reason, and more often than not the dagger she uses to strike from the shadows. He is indispensable to her-- not that she'll say it to him out loud.

wtw relationships week → side characters
↳Leda + Fenice
Leda was the head of Titania's guard when she was vasili of Aetier. Loyal to a fault, when Titania stepped away from court life after Fenice's birth, Leda followed. Since then, Leda has taken up numerous roles in Fenice's life; a nursemaid, a governess, a protector, and at times a second mother.
With the advent of Titania's death, Leda's protectiveness over her charge has only increased. She is Fenice's oath-bound fidari, her sword, her shield, her guard dog. Leda failed in protecting Titania, and so has sworn to dedicate her life in preserving the last of her legacy.
