Ecco qui le prime cinque pagine di anteprima di Canor Plumae Crystallis! "In un cielo perennemente oscurato dalla tempesta, ai piedi di una città volante e della statua di una divinità, Erin e Wyatt vivono in una città brulicante di tecnologia. Lei, caduta da un cielo distante, lui, affascinato da gadget e costruzioni meccaniche: entrambi sono stati scelti da un potere antico che si sta ora risvegliando. Quando Wyatt si ammala gravemente e sembra ormai condannato, Erin intraprenderà un viaggio non solo per cercare di salvare la sua vita ma per rivelare i misteri che si celano alle fondamenta della loro città." Sneak peek just in italian for now, sorry! "In a perpetually storm-darkened sky, beneath a floating city and the statue of a deity, Erin and Wyatt live in a city teeming with technology. She fell from a distant sky, he is fascinated by gadgets and mechanical constructions: both have been chosen by an ancient power that is now awakening. When Wyatt falls gravely ill and seems doomed, Erin will embark on a journey not only to save his life but to uncover the mysteries that lie at the foundations of their city."

New post for "Canor Project: the Songbirds' Recall": "Carillon Medallion"!

Alberna is a rather chaotic place, and its history hides even among the most mundane objects. In "Canor Project: The Songbirds' Recall," we'll delve a little deeper into the world of the Varunath arcology, so here's the first illustration, commented by Wyatt: "Tinkerer's Toolkit."

It's mapping time! Here's the map of Varunath arcology, including the divisions of the various cities!

"Caelia Also called "The Nest" or "haven," Caelians consider themselves Varunath's chosen. They take food and resources from the cities below and from the top of the tepui. The Claw Brigade, their military corps, enforces their will on the arcology.

Alberna The city at the foot of the Goddess is home to most of the population. The sky is filled with drones that prevent Caelia's garbage from falling on the city. The tepui is rich in crystals, precious for their energetic properties. Our home.

Teravia An underground city of metal mines and industries. a disreputable place. The cult of the flock has its first church here. Reevie lives here.

Floveria It has a unique ecosystem, Full of bioluminescent flowers. it supports the other cities with its resources. They're doing well, but they're somewhat isolated because people end up mutating if they come into too much contact with flower spores, creating a dependency."

18 - Just as her friends had believed in her. They had laughed together, they had cried together.

She couldn't find words to explain how much she missed them.

"Morrigan is having a bad day.

Since her arrival on Plate Island she got involved with demons, witches, ghosts, sea monsters, her ex, flying monsters, miners, robot miners, land monsters, and of course the beginning of a civil which threatens to unravel her entire world.

In the blossoming conflict Morrigan's lover, Oliver Carter, was turned into an ice statue and kidnapped. Mere days later, Morrigan and her companions tries to defend their friend and Lord of the Island - Icarius - from Invicta, a rebel mageknight currently overloading on arcane magic. The fight quickly turned sour and in a moment of wavering resolve, Morrigan accepted to be teleported away by Icarius' magic...while unbeknownst to her, two of her companions (Lionel and David) refused the teleport, standing their ground in a noble but probably doomed attempt.

P.S : The T-Rex is Theodore, the party bard, currently polymorphed. Yes, he keeps the hat on."

I finally want to introduce you to my kids! I created them almost 10 years ago, I'm old :') They're two of the main characters in Canor Plumae Crystallis, the comic I'm working on. I want to introduce you to the worldbuilding of this world, so why not start with the people who live inside it? These are Wyatt and Erin Resnick!

17 - She had thought that even they might stop seeing her, her friend and even her powers like a curse. That they would stop yelling at her. It wasn't his fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. Just incidents that she had learned to deal with. She believed it. She had believed in it so much.

"I never explained to Wyatt why it took me so long to decide to be in the family portraits. Part of me hoped that sooner or later Mom and Dad would come down from their flying city to pick me up. A childish thought, certainly… but I was a child. Eventually, I stopped looking for a family in the clouds and embraced the one that had welcome me. And here I am. With my grandfather and my brother. A family in a frame."

The first image from a small project I'm working on to introduce you to the world of Canor Plumae Crystallis, the comic I'm working on. So why not start with an old family photo?

16 - ...There was a time where she had believed things could be better.

That it wasn't all wrong. That she wasn't wrong.

That even her family would have accepted her.

In the crucible of a turbulent civil war, an upstarted faction of mercenaries rose to prominence above the lords and ladies of the Shattered Kingdoms. Their leader, the enigmatic warlord known as Galarac, was a man of no history and no renown; a sellsword like any other, who voyaged far from the Kingdoms at the whims of his clients. The man that came back was a warrior of newfound resolved, who stormed the Kingdoms in their moment of greatest vulnerability, defeating army after army and gathering a loyal circle of discontented knights. Ruthless but effective, Galarac accomplished in a few years what the noble houses had always sought to do: reforge the Kingdoms in a single nation and claim the crown of King Orland. This unity, built upon a mountain of corpses, is as frail as the nation is new. The nascent dynasty of King Galarac the Black will face uprisings, betrayals, invasions and endless conflicts, as the will of the tyrant faces the weight of his sins.

15 - There was no more hope, she told herself again.

Even in the monument to their bond, now shattered.

Even in accusing eyes, now everywhere. Some she didn't even recognize.

But if he were there, would he judge her too?

Was that eternal punishment his doing?

Even that hole in her heart?

Altum Caeruleum of House Sphinx was meant to die - one of the countless victims slaughtered in the Day Without Magic. An unremarkable mage, a noble of scarce import, just another body left festering on the battlefield.

Yet years later Altum reemerged. Emboldened by a bond with a powerful Archfey, the man had gathered new implements of destruction, chief among them a group of terrorist who share his ultimate goals. Together they are named Nemesis, and they fight to punish the Reforged Kingdoms for their hand in the slaughter, Altum's homseland for abandoning him and, above all else, his brother for betraying him. Altum led Nemesis through a campaign of violence across the Oceans of Twilight and Starts, and his trail of destruction crossed the city of Better's Town, a small village which a group of fledgling Adventurers called home...

14 - That place was a castle and that castle was a cage. She could materialize anything, but never a key. She would never get out of there. Nothing would ever go back to the way it was before. She had failed, and standing there was like dying. How many more times..? Why didn't anyone hear her screams?! -From "Of a Thousand Beats of Wings"

His personal goals have brought his cult to Better's Town, where the priest planned the hunt down a succubus hiding amongst the populace. The succubus, Barbietta, escaped in a bath of blood..leaving behind a trail that Ambrose is keen to chase."
