Introduction and Notes
For a while I've been wanting to get some of my memories out in some form. Instead of trying to write them as if they were stories, being told in the moment, I've decided that I should just write them as if they were journals. Which, essentially they are. So here we are.
Journal (tagged posts)
I do have a few caveats:
Terms: I use the terms Mazoku, Dark Lords, Shinzoku, and Dragon Gods, and others interchangeably. This is for convenience as these terms are as close to accurate as possible.
Time and calendar: Some of these entries will have a year on them. The calendar system that most of the population on Ruby used was reset at the end of the war when Aqua was destroyed. I've based the events on that calendar system.
That said, all dates are approximate. There are some difficulties in matching Ruby's yearly cycle with this planet's: Ruby was further away from the sun and had a longer year. Dates are provided only to give a sense of how much time has passed between events.
Some the entries will be a third person narrative. These are usually events that I wish to provide more detail than I would normally include in a first person narrative or events of which I do not have first hand knowledge.
The events are only as accurate as my memory. That and hindsight.
There may be some omissions; even a Dark Lord forgets some things.
