Check out Interrupted Correspondence, the newest lore drop for Progress Report! Only a little under 600 words total, so it's very bite-sized.

I'm trying out a new format which will hopefully be quicker and less time-intensive than my normal lore drops. I enjoy writing in this text-chain style (I've done this for a few different projects) and translating it to FR using some fancy coding was very fun! I'll probably do more correspondence-style lore drops, especially when a scene is very dialogue heavy and doesn't really benefit from significant description.

I haven't showcased the Shade Constructs very much as independent agents, but there's very much some internal politics going on within the Shadebound. The Constructs aren't all exactly happy to be commanded by beings who they see as their inferiors, and some, like Syl, desire to leave behind the Shadebound entirely and join dragonkind. Others, like Sincerus, have taken it as an opportunity to hate dragonkind entirely and seek vengeance against them.

Just to note, pretty much nobody is a good person in this situation. Except for maybe Syl. But still, everyone's views on the situation are messed up, nobody is coping well, and even though Sincerus is also a victim of the Shadebound he also has some really messed up views, too
