Monthly Updates: September of 2026

• The formation of the Covenant, a good century before the Year One.
• Various uprisings affecting both galactic powers across their void colonies.
• The Fourth Corsair Troubles, where the two momentarily had to bend together against another alliance of space pirates.
• And lastly, an uprising that serve to weaken the Union a little bit, allowing the Covenant to make their first move.

• One that will directly follow the conquest of the home system, possibly with a returning assassin-type character taking out Trade-Princes, their closest sycophants in capture of the Covenant. A mini-storyline.
• The second, is a secret project of the Covenant, they have been working on in Empty Spaces (more on them at a later time).

1. The number of tales, stories it will last. 
2. The first two stories, both of which will focus on the main antagonist, the Wrathful Rhonin, a member of the Orphanage of the Damned (Cabal, as of now, this is their finalized name).
3. And expansion on his backstory, what drives him, what will be his overall goal that would make him a worthy Bond villain. Also came up with a fun gimmick to give him some conflict.

                                           24.05.2026

• 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. 

                                          26.10.2025

• Korumriadh [Post Civil War, before the First Void War]: Constables, peace keepers of the Sakrath-Ib-Anath, trained in combat and restraining sorceries. Their rank color within the Zamirion (Ground) Host is the pale blue-purple of Periwinkles, found in the southern mountains of Ehruem. 
• Korumriadh Uniform: Follows the ‘windswept’ style of the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath, and the angular silhouette of Elven Clothing. Made from their own materials, arcane-weave leather known as Setanilh–a supple, smooth textured, subtly glossy fabric– and silk known as Khorsiedna–a mellow, supple textured silk of pearlescent gloss. And Murghieth, a smooth and glossy velvet used for their berets, and the inner lining of their coats, breeches, skirts and boots.
  • An onyx black leathery coat of single-breasted design and waist length, made with a deceptive wrapped closure. Magnetic buttons line the closure, keeping it tight in place. The standing, funnel-shaped cowl-collar and the structured, flared shoulders are tautened, starched subtly whilst below, the Setanilh is produced softer, almost as soft as silk as it drapes down the torso. Long and tapering sleeves sprout under the pronounced, curved down point of the shoulders; whilst the hem follow a symmetrical, handkerchief style. A broad sash cinches the waist, of warm golden color, a more defined silky texture, and double red striping on the top and bottom rims, fastened on the left side. The rims and stitching of the coat is done with a chromatic silk of arcane-weave, a sun golden.
  • Underneath the coat, they wear a taut-fitting button-down style dress shirt of angular silhouette, chin-high semi-spread collars with crisp edges. Their long sleeves end in button-lined barrel-cuffs, whilst the central button closure itself is hidden under a placket. Unlike the Heartlanders and the Northerners, they use a black Shawl-Tie to secure the buttoned-up collars, a piece looped under the rolled down ‘wings’ and trailing straight down the placket, whilst slithering in an attached golden medallion bearing the Arcane-Eye.
  • Beneath they either wear a high-waisted and Wrapped Setanilh Leather Skirt, secured by a slim sash of the same color scheme as the Coat’s, reaching down to their knees. Or a Battle/Field Breech fitted through the hips and thighs, with a slight flare to accommodate their knee-high boots of pointed toes slightly curved up, and elevated soles usually. Though rarely, they wear a high heeled version.
  • Their head protections include velvety berets mimicking their northern rivals, but also include various shawls or scarfs, turbans wrapped around the heads, covering their faces. Their higher-ranking members also wear gilded Myelian Masks.
• Sahiraedh [Post Civil War, before the First Void War]: Pure, spellcasting-oriented troops, members of the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath. They are above the Korumriadhs in the echelons of the coven, usually tasked with hunting down rogue sorcerers, warlocks, necromancers plaguing the new alliances territories, researching scrolls and grimoires unearthed from old tombs, providing counsel regarding arcane matters to governors, nobles of lesser rank. Their rank color is the Dark red (with hints of purple) of Garnets, gems often adorning the rings of Sorcerers, witches who used it to boost their own vitality, energies flowing in their anima veins.
• Sahiraedh Uniform: Follows the same windswept style of the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath, using the same materials.
  • Their onyx black, single-breasted coat of a calf-length follows mostly the same design principles as the Korumriadhs, with the exceptions of the flaring sleeves ending in bell-shaped cuffs, the hem following a layered, round design with rune seamed cloths dangling from the rims, and a broader, open collar often draped down, though if erected, reaches cheek height naturally.  
• Otthoril Valley: A perilous valley found in the south-eastern regions of the Eptirrion. Once was home to a cabal of necromancers, who built an temple to their dread deities, where they launched numerous attacks on the mountain’s folk, taking their people to offer them for great boons. With time, the Nairenthians took care of this little problem, though too late, as the valley remains tainted in necrotic matter even in present day. Though there were numerous attempts, including by a cleric of the Lade of Hope, Goddess of Dawn who settled in an old hunting shack to cleanse away the wickedness. There are also rumors about a certain lich, necromancer setting up shop in the Otthoril Valley after she got chased away from her old home.
• Nattriarh: Lowest in the echelons of the Raven Eyes, members either fresh out from the Academy, or from the lowest ranks of the other branches who reached their final promotions. Their tasks include guarding the hidden outposts of the Raven Eyes, crewing and patrolling the Stealth-Class vessels of the Eyes, or hired guards for the wealthiest of Naireanth’s society. And on occasion, accompany the Daormaorns or Eyes in their raids. Their rank color is the purple of midnight appearing at the end of summers, heralding the coming of autumns.
• Nattriarh Combat Uniform: Follows the crisp, angular style of elves, using the top-grade arcane-weave fabrics of the Black Rose Order. 
  • A double-breasted coat of waist length, featuring the tiered collar-scheme of the Raven Eyes. Their primary a broad collar with a crisp silhouette resembling a pulled down hood with artificial crimples adding texture to it, and with the zipper striding up on the left side. Within it, is the secondary collar, an elliptical, slim Bulwark-Style collar. The structured shoulders include a sharp upward curve at each outer edge, whilst the sleeves end in cuffs enveloping their hands and fingers once protracted. A softened, dragonidh leather sash cinches the corset-like waist area, often adorned with pouches containing poisons, mana potions, boosters, or even acidic concoctions to melt down obstructions like walls, fences or when a corpse needs to disappear. The asymmetrical hem is lengthened at the back, where it tapers into a sharp point, taking the vague shape of a dagger’s blade. At the front, an embroidered loincloth sprouts, cascades before the legs.
  • Underneath, they wear the same designed Aetherna Satin button-down style dress shirt as the other branches, but with the whole piece dyed their rank’s color. 
  • Beneath, they wear tight-fitting, high-waisted dragonidh leather breeches, often equipped with straps holding pouches magnetically, knee-high boots with elevated soles, pointed toes and the top rims folded down. 
  • For headwear, they too sport velvety or leathery berets bearing their rank’s color, and half Myelian-Masks covering their eyes and noses, though without a cloth to hide their lips and cheeks. The same mask bearing the blooming lotus rose, its thorny and trailing vines, and two ravens sitting on two thorns pointing at the outer edges of the eye holes.
• Groen Family: Once a prosperous noble family of the North, known for its many State-Sorcerers/Witches/Wizards/Clerics who enlisted not just in the Snow-Scaled Host or the Black Rose Order, but also in the Arghyrian or Franchoin Legions in the Golden Age of the Empire. Though like with any noble family, their power and influence waned, as others arose, the Dreahal Family enacted new laws, granted rights to commoners to rise beyond their stature. And a certain member who spent a few years in the fallen Arghyrian Capital, attending its Arcane University where she came under the tutelage of Daemerius, the future Regent-President who hurled the world into the greatest war it ever experienced. In which she fought under her master, and evaded prosecution after Daemerius was slain.  
  • Now Nea roams the world, furthering her necromantic knowledge, gathering her own undead servants, and amassing forbidden relics of the past, that should have remained buried, forgotten.

• So, the last tale went up yesterday to Subscribestar/here, and preliminary outlining began on the November story featuring Selindrae. Three short tales that will be, I plan to finish on the first week of November, just to focus on editing the December story.
• Was thinking of including the Daormaorns, their uniform in this weekly update, but decided against it as they will feature in the Deal of the Revolution. Thanks to Vjeriina being a major character in the events that shall unfold in the Umbrillien Fortress.
• The three tales will feature one returning minor character, that was recently featured, another new Seeker I plan to use in the future, a male one just to expand on the character roster, whilst the third tale will be based on a certain Cyberpunk 2077 gig/mission. Loosely based in fairness. Timeline wise, the first two tales will be before the Neo-Dawn Era’s first millennium, whilst the third will be set in the twenty-fifth century, I believe near where I plan the Second Void War to break out. The second major storyline of sorts, though still set on Heleion. As most of the stories on that parcel of the timeline are set in the Void Between Worlds.

Weekly Update and Some Worldbuilding:

• Umbrillien Hinterlands: A lush and dense terrain in the south-eastern regions of Northern Eoran, situated between the two most prominent mountains. Once in the ancient times, before the colonists arrived, the Fey of the Night and Darkness ruled from here, her children living under the gloomy forests, the sloping mounds and hills, barrows. Then with time, first the natives tried settling, escaping from the Grauburgians and Esparnians, then later the Grauburgians themselves built a fort to cull the dangerous feybeasts lurking in the shadows. Since the Colonial War, the Black Roses inherited the fort, and the task to hunt monsters. Though now, they must contend with Separatists too, hiding somewhere, striking from below.
• Naurdpoint: A port city built upon the jagged, icy walls of a glacial crater on the western shores of Northern Eoran, at its northernmost point. The sister city of Sraurpoint, controlled by the Black Roses who maintain a small host to keep the peace. Under the governance of Hersith Ra'an, leader of the Halgufaeth Host of the Black Roses.
• Esparnian Monarchy: The fourth largest nation in the Heartlands after the Franchoin Republic, The Tyrnalan Theocracy, and the Arghyrian Republic. Situated in the south-west, borders the Anwon Khanate, and parts of Franchoin and Arghyria. Ruled by a Royal Family, governed by a council, and recently formed a Myelian Militant Coven from the remnants of the Sakhrath-Ib-Anath. 
• Raven Eyes of the Black Rose: Founded a few decades before the Coven of the Forsaken attacked the Black Roses academy in the Eptirrion Mountain range - allegedly. Serves the interests of the Black Rose Order/Coven primarily, secondarily the Draunneath Alliance. Their tasks include counterintelligence, infiltration, assassination, information gathering, bribery, sabotage. Led by Hersith Lythienne, though the other Hersiths' themselves received their own Eyes, and Hersith Kaguyari even invested her own Shinobiaths to expand the branch. Their ranks include the Nattriar or in common tongue, the Nightguard, the lowest rank. Their tasks range from guarding assets, act as guards upon the Eyes' stealth vessels to form commando units alongside the Daomaorns and Eyes. Or even Skjaldmaeriths and Varangriaths. 
• Umbral Archons: The intelligence corps of the Heartland Alliance, recruiting the best of their best to further their interests. 

• So first things first. For August, a Bound Diaries story, a new concept based story, that as of now goes War Stories [creatively named] and a two-part short story, a sort of prelude to the southern storyline I'm planning.
• The Bound Diaries I just finished this week, nearly 5k words. A story set in the above mentioned Naurdpoint, involving two Raven Eyes and an Umbral Archon, called Inigo the Esparnian Shadow. Though what he is doing in the north of Eoran, that is a secret for now. But it will be part of another, smaller storyline involving the underworld of Heleion.
• All three stories for August need a bit of editing, a bit more for the War Stories, whilst the other two, just some minor edits. Maybe even cut downs here and there. 
• And as we entered the eight month, I start with some updates on the December story. As of now, it reached the fifth chapter. The plan is eight chapters, but I may slap on a ninth, though it is quite lengthy already, at 20k words nearly. The first four chapters have been edited, things got already rewritten and the last two will follow too. May start to upload early access chapters. Not sure yet. May leave it to November. 
• The story itself will involve Emilior, who ordered one of the cabal agents to confiscate a certain artifice of utter destruction from a Grauburgian deep sea vessel. Now said weapon he finally found a worthy buyer for, a separatist, an old feyfolk generalissimo who wasn't quite fond of the Nairenthian taking the whole north, not allowing it to join the United Republics. And these certain rowdy separatists may hide in the infamous Umbrillien Hinterland, where skirmishes, ambushes start escalating as they aim to take the fort in the heart from the Black Roses. 
• From the Black Roses side just some characters that will feature: Astrydril who comes to aid Maleern and Arvindel, Hersith Katinkah a towering dark dracorith, and Arlettil from a side story set in the Second Era of Mending. One of 2024's october stories. There is also Vjeriina, a subordinate of Astrydril featured a long time ago, introduced in the same chapter as Selindrae. 
• And that is all for this week's update, besides these updates may come on saturdays or sundays too.
