Monthly Updates: October of 2026

                      Monthly Updates – June of 2026

• Name: Rhommiriel [her family name had been lost to history, if there were any.]
• Age: Unknown [Estimated to be 7000 at least. Her name comes up in some annals, but this could be another Rhommiriel]. 
• Origin of Land: North-Eastern Naireanth.
• Race: Godkynd; Elf. Carries the Umbral Seed of Taelikera, Great Goddess of Shadows, Luck, Divine Patroness of Thieves, Scoundrels and Assassins.
• Visible Traits: Upturned, Almond-Frame Eyes of Grayish-Black sclera and purple pupils with a hint of gold. There have been old accounts mentioning her silky skin being as white as porcelain, with shadowy spots billowing across the silky expanse. But these rumors hadn’t been confirmed yet fully. 
• Outfit: Wears the same divine regalia for centuries. An inky black suit covering her from head to toe, with liquid leathery texture and gloss, with a cowl and a white porcelain mask of likewise divine nature.
  • Both pieces enhance her reflexes to supernatural levels [nigh divine], on top of augmenting her shapeshifting capabilities. 
• Personality Traits: Bold, but cautious. Deceptive and charismatic. Upholds a rule of no killing. Patient, strikes only when she is assured of total success.
• Feats: A master of shapeshifting and shadow magic. 
  • There had been rumors that she is quite capable fighter, but as of writing this report, nothing concrete. Be wary regardless!
  • Exceptional thief, as she earned the divine regalia she wears. These feats include stealing two of the Black Roses’ rings gifted to her by Viduthia; confiscating an ooze experimented on by the Snow-Scaled Circle [we should have thought of ooze pets for our spies]; stole the Blade of the Red Moon owned and passed down amongst the eldest sons of the Lunar Shogun; emptied the library of the Daughter of Midnight, one of the former disciples of the Black Rose who set out south, and myriad others. [Note: The cherry on top, she never seen the inside of a cell in thousands of years, unless there was something valuable in there.]

• The Phallus Worms: One of the smallest demons counted amongst the Legions of the Dark Desires (or Desirous Legions). Furtive beasts who whilst lack sapience, hold a greater sentience compared to the beasts of Thulyandiv. 
  • These demons resemble long and thick phalluses with heads that sprout open to reveal a deceptive mouth lacking teeth. In truth, they can retract their teeth under the supple, viscous gum of theirs, and initially latch onto the body using their adhesive saliva. Which they can use to spit and immobilize or gag their victims. 
  • Their main appetite is towards the genitalia of either genders. With phalluses, they swallow the whole thing, shaft and sack, dug their razor-sharp teeth to neighboring areas, and insert their tongue through the canal, ant start draining the victim of semen and insert their mind-controlling poison, turning the victim into a drooling, aroused zombie. 
  • They are weak against the Divine Art and Hallowed Sorcery. Weapons enchanted or naturally magical in nature can also bring harm to them. But be wary, heat attracts them, cold repulses them. The latter could even be immobilize them without imbuing it with Hallowed Materia. 
• The Hounds of Desires: Throughout the early centuries, the Ur-Fiends and Devils surveyed the world and whilst tainted many aspects, they also created demons mocking the friendship between mortals and lupines. One of these demons are what are ancestors called the Hounds of Desires, who always accompanied the raiding bands and armies of the Ur-Fiend of Desires and Lust.
  • They are sightless infernal hounds coated in rubbery, viscous flesh, long and curving phalluses that can shout out a liquid which is thick as the bodies of oozes and slimes, capable of immobilizing their victims, whilst also emit a translucent and disorienting gas. Or even an acidic that can harm even Eminent-Grade Sorcerous Fibers. Though only after several shots aimed at the same, general area.
  • Unlike many other demons, the Hounds of Desires seem to lack interest in sapient beings, instead usually hunt and rape other beasts. Though a few annals mention them indulging on necrophilism, but as of now, these the veracity of these claims are highly questionable. 
  • They are weak against the Divine Arts and Hallowed Sorcery. Weapons enchanted or magical in nature can also bring harm upon them. 
• Desirous Beasts: One of the larger demons amongst the infernal ranks of Desires and Lust. Demons bred for war and siege, meant to bring down walls and cause as much casualties as possible. There are theories the Ur-Fiend of Wrath aided the Lustful Empress in shaping these beings. 
  • Great beasts that possess long eel-like heads moving with an eerie fluidity despite their massive size. Their eyes stretch vertically, number up to at least twenty if not more. Their flesh is coated in a thick, viscous liquid emanating a potent scent similar to fresh semen, whilst their flesh itself is rubbery of a light pinkish color. Their massive backs and more vulnerable areas are covered in brimstone like carapace possessing a rich and captivating patina. Their blood is black and dangerous, possessing the same stench as the slime covering their bodies, causing those nearby to be affected by a rising arousal. 
  • As Siege Beasts, the Ur-Fiends endowed them with a supernatural strength and durability they use to crush walls. They also vomit out a tar-like substance capable of melting down not just flesh, bone, fiber, but also metals, and stones like marble, basalt and limestone. 
  • Like all demons and devils, they are weak to the Divine Arts and Hallowed Sorcery, weapons enchanted or magical in nature. Though one must focus on their sole, unprotected weak spot, an outer sexual organ resembling a bulbous sack. But be wary, as it can sprout open, releasing trunks capable of releasing their corrosive tar or even discharge abyssal spells.
• Phallic-Serpents: Demons incapable of living on dry land. 
  • Limbless serpents which smallest specimen was the size of a grizzly bear, the largest could swallow a mammoth whole, whilst their length reaches between 15-40 meters. They have hideous, flowery heads that when they unfold, reveal a pentagonal maw arrayed by “teeth” as supple and fluttering as feathers, a long and shafted tongue, alongside silky stripes of a translucent purple they use to latch onto their victims and drag them to their dooms.
  • Their sole satisfaction lies in devouring their victims alive, some survivors noted they tend to emit a sound that eerily resembled singing of a serene, husky voice. Their purpose is murky at best, mostly our ancestors encountered them in rivers, where they hunted and terrorized the local fishers.
  • They are to the Divine Arts and Hallowed Sorcery, weak to all kinds of metals. One of the weakest demons. Though they are quite clever and furtive, to make up for their general weaknesses.
• Arachnid Devils of Desires: Handsome Devils, that are found amongst the other forces of Chaos. Though unlike the others, these possess an elven beauty and serve as spies, infiltrators, assassins. 
  • In appearance, as mentioned possess bipedal bodies that are quite similar to the Fae-Touched Elves of the Night Court, with arachnoid features including pale complexion with a purplish hue and hydrous sheen; eight bold pink pupils and a dark sclera. Alongside those, their limbs are covered in smooth and furred chitinous dark skin, and possess two outer organs. Their hair is silken and black, and their jaws are bifurcated.
  • Their outer organs both possess the ability to shoot out a latex-like web they use to restrict and consume their victims. Similar to Incubuses and Succubae, they can shapeshift, but only by the consumption of their victims whose bodies they liquify and absorb into their bodies. Though a magi worth their salt can easily see through it. They themselves are also adept infernal magi.
  • They are weak to the Divine Arts and Hallowed Sorcery, most metals of magical nature can bring harm upon them.
• The Sleek Ones: Common shock troops of the infernal hordes.
  • In appearance they are slender and tall, with elongated limbs that can carry out fluid movements. Their primary feature is their black, latex-like skin, their uniformly spherical heads mostly featureless, except for the sole orifice they possess. A round aperture from which a long trunk slithers out, its phallic end sharp as a spear despite its appearance. 
  • Through their trunk, they can inject infernal poison that drives their victim insane. Many a warrior fell, compelled to touch or surrender their bodies to these devils. 
  • As low rank devils, they are weak to practically everything.
• Rape Knights: Considered the elite of the Legion of Desires, created by the Ur-Fiends of Desires and the Ur-Fiend of Domination. One of the most violent devils in existence.
  • Towering devils of at least 3 meters, always clad in a scintillating and colorful coat of hellish plates, complimented with latex garments here and there. They hide their hideous visages behind visored helmets, and an aventail protects their neck, despite resembling white semen of blackened rims. Their phalluses remain exposed, long and dangling like loincloths, until they reach near. Then they hiss and bite, act as their tertiary weapon.
  • Besides their high magical aptitude, they arm themselves with claymores, battle-axes with heads shaped often like vulvas, both of which they can hold in one hand. When they rely on spells, they are disorienting in nature, or mind-altering, forcing their victim to become more bloodthirsty, angry. They relish the resistance of their victims, opponents. 
  • They are weak to the Divine Arts and Hallowed Sorcery. Weapons enchanted and made of materials higher than mithril can bring harm upon them, anything below shall merely rile and arouse them.

• And another week goes by. A bit less productive in terms of writing, as was busy helping with some funeral stuff, then the actual funeral was just draining enough mentally. Plus slept very little this week, so just did a minimal outlining, no editing as I wanted to.
• But let’s start with some commentary. Mostly the changes in the looks of the Drengriarhs and the Faufnisriarhs. The first “bigger” change was the swapping of their coat collars. The whole folded down, Napoleonic inspired collar design made more sense for the Ginutvia Host in hindsight. They are the one that started out as an Air Force of the both the Snow-Scaled and the Black Roses. So, most of their uniforms incorporate “wing” elements. Whilst the ground forces are going for a more streamlined look. Was thinking of including the naval subcaste but for now, I am just focusing on the caste’s featured in the Rinsing Filth Tale. 
• Also, Snow-Scaled and Black Rose will share some design elements, though the have some distinctions beyond the color schemes. For example, zipper teeth have more fang-like look for the Snow-Scaled, more neatly aligned thorned look for the Black Roses. Snow-Scaled also incorporate scaled texturing for their decorative rims, and on the sleeves, shoulders and the inner lining. 
• Regarding Votum Prime, it is quite the large world, though decided on a slightly different approach of a world with less body of waters, though have lakes that can be considered seas and, in a way, the four continents are linked at various points. Though it is a fairly early draft of how the world looks. Still not decided on borders, though have an idea that another gangly mountain serves as a hard border between the northern and western continent, a savage strait divides the south and east.
• In terms of looks, fashion, in relation to our own, they were in their 1940s to 1950s before the whole fall to the Desirous Legions. They may even had satellites. 
• Now, for progress. As mentioned, this was a slow week. Focused mostly on the July story, doing some worldbuilding, came up and expanded on the setting, and was doing some adjustments to the plot, to the characters. As of right now, it will nave nine “point of view” characters stretched across the three chapters, with the last possibly being the assassin. Not sure yet on the ending. 
• Setting I believe mentioned to be a resort isle, owned by the Wondrous Coven, incorporating renaissance elements combined with high fantasy flamboyance and impracticality made practical through sorcery. Worldbuilding expansion focused more on a faction of Thulyandivian communists, one of Wyruthrin’s responsible for an insurrection that ended a bit bloody. A faction that may appear in one of the short stories not-yet-planned for September or November. 
• Anyhow, I rambled on enough. Thank you for reading this, and next week, I’ll return with some lore on the looks of the Gudlaeths, Volvaeths and Gynnunghaeths, alongside an early introduction to the Desirous Legions, and some devils and demons that will feature in this month’s tale. Till then, take care and have a pleasant week folks!

• And another week passes by. Summer is coming by, and with it a few more tales of Thulyandiv. Or something. 
• Now, just some addition, some commentary for the lore segment. As I mentioned before, made a move that somewhat eases my job of outlining, but also a bit complicated. For a long time, wanted uniform parts that serve some function beyond just being decorative elements. In the past, there was an attachable stripe of sorts that would emit a light, and that to some extent still exists (for those lazy to conjure a mage/wisp light), but also there are stuff like this spear stripe of the Skjaldmaeriths. 
• In overall, their coat also resembles the Drengriarh’s (so it was partially an introduction to their new coat), but with some changes, like the rib textured collar (that may or may not be coated in silvern layer with a film sheen). For the southern assassins, detachable “choking scarfs” will be part of their belts [inspired by the Stranglers of the Black Company, and possibly the Thugee, but this one I’m not a 100% sure on], and Varangriaths and similar berserker type castes may have gloves that support their tendency for hand-to-hand combat. 
• Also, still not sure if I continue calling Hussars, well hussars or add some nauheimian suffix to it.
• Regarding the Purification Crusades, these will be one facet of the Records of War tales. For the time being, these will take place on Votum Prime [which will get its own piece in the coming weeks]. But will plan to expand on, as time goes on. 
• Now for progress. This week was mostly outlining and editing in short. For outlining, I began the early stuff (characters, some background, new factions and so on) for the July Story. Possibly the last three or four chapter long story (besides the two longer in August and December). In its basic theme, will be similar to next month’s, with the main setting being an island resort west of Wyruthrin, South of Maurnia, involving some fantasy communist agent or agents attempting an assassination on the Twilight-Princess (Daughter of the Grand Princess) of Wyruthrin. And will have a shifting structure, similar to the first tale of this year. With a mixture of Dusk Weaver Coven and Wondrous Coven members. Possibly. Not sure yet, still. 
• Beyond that, also started ‘designing’ their uniforms, which I will share some elements with the Black Roses and Snow-Scaled. Likewise, started working on the Lunate Lotuses, and the main setting of the December story. Most of it will take place on an underwater research station, which design and lack of corridors made me waste last night on writing it. The other half will focus on Astrydril, possibly in some perilous situation involving some amount of silky rope and sealing tape. So that I can place Lyanrei in the spotlight.
• In terms of editing, did some adjustments for the Revision, regarding Astrydril (still not wholly sure in her looks, some elements of it). But also progressed, edited the fourth, will begin working on the fifth next week alongside the June story that still misses some parts from its ending.
• Lastly, before bidding farewell, also decided that in September, October, and November I’ll just write short, single chapter tales. Some Bound Diaries, some lewdish Shadow Archives, and maybe for this October, will write less gruesome stories, after all I feel this month’s story got plenty dark enough. Selindrae will also get some story, to reintroduce her before the end of the year. Some bounty hunting tale maybe, short and can have a rival to tie her up. 
• Anyhow, that is enough rambling for this week. Till next Sunday, take care folks and have a pleasant week!

                                      26.04.2026

• Race: Half-Naurdian (From his Father’s Side); Half-Umbral Elf (From his mother’s side, a former agent of the Raven Eyes as far as we know).
• Age: Born in the Year 172 of the Neo-Dawn Era. Day and Month redacted.
• Characteristic Features: Handsome; ivory complexion, smooth and unblemished; Hair thick and flowing straight, usually keeps it short, at about shoulder-length, beard unkempt most of the time (comes with his occupation), both dark; Deep-set eyes with long, small frames and purple in color; thick northern eyebrows with mild angles; ears sharply contoured, but not the proper length of elven ears. 
  • Usually sports a black leather jacket of [of a high sorcerous grade, do not underestimate him] with dry texture, a modest velvety sheen. Its lapels broad, notched, shoulders padded and with added straps of pleated chromatic coatings around their trims, within these frames, strengthening runes. The other constant wear of his is his wide-brimmed hat he inherited from his father. Same fabric, texture, color and sheen.
  • His usually weapon of choice is a whip passed from father to son [according to REDACTED]. 
• Known Skills: Well, trained in martial arts [her mother was a great headache for our predecessors during the Great War]; Adept Sorcerer in the High Arts of Shadow and Earth. Possibly of Mind too. Be wary. 
• Known Associations: Aided our agent REDACTED in the Tomb of Seven Stars in northern Ralikhai a few years ago, but do not trust him yet. From what we gathered, he is part of a secret society of tomb raiders, who supposedly worship The First Seneschal. From our sources from the North, we know the Snow-Scaled and Black Roses are not too fond of them snatching away old artifacts and taking them Gods know where. 
• Crimes: Breaking into the imperial library of the Witch-Empress. Left three of her Imperial Constables trussed up, alongside the custodian on post that night. Fled towards the south, towards the Maelstrom. Possibly Aperhis Isle.

A tear, a fissure in our reality. A tenebrous storm tainting land and the seas beneath itself; mutating flora and fauna into twisted beings. Flowers, trees, fungi all turn into carnivorous beings, whose hunger is beyond flesh and bone. Early explorers returned as puppets without strings, vegetables that not even the menders of minds could heal. Likewise, goblins, bull-men brought back from the wilds of the Lost Continent shown no sign of presence, no spell could detect a soul within their mortal vessels that lost all their color, gained a furtive tint of darkness. 
There are also tales of the great leviathans of those seas turning into horrid stalkers, sea monks of pitch blackness appearing in the dark distance, watching, feeding on dreams. Per the few fables of those who were brave enough to approach the black seas of the Maelstrom. [Note to self: Don’t forget the merkynd of the Black Seas, the Deep Ones, though I have scarce information on tehm]
An eerie atmosphere has been also reported by a few explorers. They tell of a silence unnatural, measured but by whom, no one could tell. Not even the length of this invisible muting wall, that sometimes-silenced people after two steps, other times remained perfectly audible after several more. 
Can’t wait to explore these lands once we depart from the ports of southern Kesothis.

• And another week passes by. Another fairly progressive week. Mostly focused on finishing editing of the May story (soon will be up in Early Access), writing the next revision story and some outlining of it, and started writing the June story. 
• For commentary this week will be shorter than usual. Just add that made some changes to Yngvaun. Made him less independent, and made another independent organization mostly for the Unearthed Legends tales. Next one probably won’t feature him.
• Regarding Tawheeda, was thinking of writing up a sheet for her too, but decided against it. She had some changes in her appearance, mentioned in a previous weekly updates regarding the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath and their Elixir of Magnificence. I’ll just add, that whilst the story won’t mention it, but the June story will, she is an Orhmedian-Djinnui Hybrid (Orhmedian is a sub-group of Sraudornians, Thulyandiv’s India with some Arabic influences, like Kesothisians are antique Egypt with some modern Arabic influences).
• One last thing mentioned here and will be in the story too, is that the previous story got retconned to take place in Ralikhai instead of Kesothis. Partially because want to rethink Kesothis’s geography a little bit. Likewise, the first Halloween/Spooktober/Kinktober story may also get retconned. Not sure yet about whether their coven has a presence in Ehruem or not. 
• Progress-Wise, the fifth chapter is finished for the revision story. The first chapter with a focus POV of the antagonists. But also continued expanding Astrydril and Lyanrei appearance, though in minor ways as both are still just students. Began outlining the next one, and hopefully will finish it on Monday or by Tuesday. 
• It also made me rethink the end of the year story. Mostly to shorten it to the length of Passion Ride. The Revision will still end up as a long one, and whilst I am reaching the end of it, and finish it by May hopefully, one really long story per year feels enough. So, in terms of chapter numbers, the Christmas story will be short, five chapters. Maybe six, depending on how I progress with it once I start actually writing it.
• May story, still doing some last-minute edits. Will be up (either today or Monday/tomorrow). Just as a forewarning, it is another story which I am experimenting with, trying something new, but also going back to the slightly darker roots of the first iteration. Namely, it will be a grimdark smut story, with the bondage/damsel-in-distress elements being… well grim, weird, and spiced with a little horror. There will be bad ends for characters. And weird monsters.
• And to counter that, the June story, a Felonious Memoirs story will be a bit more lighthearted. Will have some humor, and plenty of bondage, some feet stuff. And decided to make it three chapters, after I started expanding the bondage scenes. It will have some GIDs too, but because of the main POV preferring shapeshifting into women, there are more damsels this time around. 
• And before concluding, did some minor adjustments to the July plans. Originally mentioned a good Samaritan getting trussed up type scenario/tale. That got shafted for the time being. Maybe for September, or maybe October. Instead, the plan is now a War Tale that is one chapter long, an in-world educative story for soldiers on garrison duty, involving tricks of infiltrators. The other, a bit longer, two or three chapters long, involving an assassin getting hired by revolutionaries, to take out the niece of the Grand Princess of Wyruthrin in their Royal Island Resort. Both stories will feature changelings, and the first appearance of the Dusk Weaver Coven and the Wondrous Stag Coven. [May also merge these into one, as the June story also features the Snow-Scaled Circle and the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath as the fortunate Red Shirts]
