Locations to Expect in Book Three (and ones we have seen so far)
So book three, which is tentatively titled as Threads that Bind the Tempest has a very robust draft, so I can share some little nuggets about the plot and setting. This particular nugget is where in Tyra Kolaq'blegae our intrepid Trinity and the One and the supporting cast will be seeing. Locations to expect and all that.
But first, a recap of where and what we have seen so far. Obviously spoilers for those who have not read both How to Stop Wildfire and Harmonic Waves. So please read those first.
Where have they been so far (seen in the books?) HTSW = How to Stop Wildfire. HW = Harmonic Waves
- Earth - HTSW
- Magaya - HTSW/HW
- The Ascended's Abode - HTSW
- Jalon - HW
- Djarmen - HW
- Eisatanlon - HW
- Sangrae La (Baune) - HW
- A Spikarian style planet - HW
- Wolfen - HTSW/HW
- Mechanicha - HW
A pretty decent start for covering the expanse of Tyra Kolaq'blegae. A mere drop into its size and breadth, but it is drop nonetheless. Book three expands upon it, but admittedly not by much. It expands it in a different way...
But anyway.
Now where are they heading in book three? Not necessarily in any order.
- Magaya - Obviously. HQ and all.
- A obscure, stormy research outpost - Interesting, eh?
- Paeyk - The scorn has been written for this race/planet in Harmonic Waves, but how is it really?
- A Diamondae ruin - Exciting, right?
- Hallihanet - One of the big players.
- An artificially constructed planet made by the Aryuihl - Spooky stuff. What does it mean?
And that is about it.
If it seems like a tight range of locations, it is. Book three is like a tight horror-psychological thriller. The events take place in rapid fire sequence, probably taking up a real-time interval of less than How to Stop Wildfire's.
I'll stop spoiling/talking now. That's all for now. I return to editing the stupid thing.
Thanks for reading.

Short Story on The End of the Second Generation Humans
Another new short story! But it is not new. I originally wrote this scene in ~2015 in a compilation file containing three (including this) random world event stories plus a chapter titled Malechak with no content…which was intended to basically be ‘To Steal a Race with a Race’. I recently decided I was going to try to wrap up as many of these random half-finished/sketch-like stories as I could before I started fully on book 11, so I with this...
General Empirian Fashion Thoughts
Not everyone in the Empire wears clothes, but for those that do, there are some common themes in fashion. So here I’m going to go through random clothing categories that are prevalent in the Empire and give my current thoughts on them. I’m not going to be going at it race by race, just general impressions on each clothing category. So, anyway, we’re going to start with the big one. Robes! Growing up with fantasy RPGs, robes were a conceptual...
