• Nomads of Heleion: The wandering folk of Heleion, consisting of all races, every kin forsaken by their people, welcomed to start anew if they will it, if they brave the trials of the nomads. 
  • Black Ursine Clan: The nomadic group native to the Isles of Albion, including the Naudimbria Isle, where they have a year long route from the northernmost point to the southernmost. In recent years, they came under the spotlight of the local Department of Order, with many of their members returning to their violent ways.
  • Crimson Fox Clan: The nomadic group native to the Hoshigawan Archipelago, living in harmony with the spirits of the Isles ever since their formation.
  • The Gilded Serpent Clan: The largest nomadic group of the Crescent and the Tear, travelling its exotic lands, its deserts, the tunnels dug by the ancient dwarves, and by the worms they learned to ride, and use as one mode of transporting their goods. Be it illicit or legal by the standards of society. 
  • The White Wolves Clan: The largest nomadic group within the Eptirrion Mountain, named after the great white wolves, the hounds of giant-kin, whom they befriended, tamed to protect their great caravans traversing the cold lands of Naireanth.
• Zasada Family: The largest mob family of dark elves native to the Noyachny Heimrad of Naireanth. Descendants of a dark elven noble house from the lost kingdom of their kindred. Their primary illegal ventures involve kin-trafficking, drug deals, money laundering, bribery, trade of stolen magicraft weaponry and gear in the black market of Heleion, amongst numerous other crimes.
• Human Unity Front: A human supremacist terrorist organization active in the Heartland nations of Heleion. Their goals, the enslavement of the other races, take over the governments, lessen the numbers of elves, dwarves, orcs and feyfolk across Heleion. 

• This week I’ll start with progress on the Deal of the Revolution story. As planned, the seventh chapter is mostly finished. Two segments regarding a certain character, and another smaller clash between separatists and Black Roses still remains, but plan to finish those early whilst fine-tuning the outline of the last chapter.
  • And just some character teases: Astrydril I think I unveiled somewhere, in some author note. Alongside her, Vjeriina too returns having a major role. Arvindel and Maleern will feature too, but in a bit less capacity, back to being secondary protagonists. Hersith Katinkah will be a minor protagonist, in a role similar to Kaguyari’s from Merry Times (IIRC). Besides her, another minor/secondary is Arlettil from last year’s batch of Halloween stories.
  • On the antagonists’ side, there are two characters I refrain mentioning until release. Emilior is returns as the main antagonist to Astrydril’s side of the story, whilst on Vjeriina’s there is the secret character and Ma’zatl, a former Eoranian General who wishes to reunite Eoran, and break away from the Draunneath Alliance. And Acalin, who features quite a lot. More than I initially expected her to be if I’m being honest.
• Now for October. Spookinktober to be precise. Decided to ditch the planned serial killer focused stories, instead there will be four tales focusing on the crimes of Nea. Somewhat connected as far as I outlined them as of now. 
  • On a personal note, I love necromancers, and for a long while, wanted to write a few stories featuring Nea. Been tweaking her character every once in a while.
  • So, she’ll get four tales, that I plan to upload separately, so Spookinktober will have four uploads, one early access though for Subscribestar. 
  • And just as a tease: The first tale will entail her journey to the Crescent and the Tear, where she visits a deserted villa of the deposed Shah; the second involves a bank robbery, a bit of a random idea; the third will focus on one of her puppets more hunting an escaped ritual fodder; the last, well her activities attracted enough attention, so she finds her gothic home under attack. 
• For November, the only thing I am sure of is that instead of a War Tales focusing on the Siege of Maba, I’ll do a Selindrae focused story. It’s been a year since her last feature.
