My dragonborn sorcerer, Kothar. He's a fat himbo who was made in a vat by an alchemist. He has two dads who live in the typical "rich old eccentric and his Butler" type relationship.

He is betrothed to a half elf from another wealthy family, but his fiancee ran away from home before they could be wed. Their parents fear a kidnapping. Kothar thinks they ran away because he's a dragonborn. It's actually because the fiance is trans. Kothar goes adventuring to find his fiance and return them home safely.

The Fear of a Mother.

Lyla was grooming the newly acquired male. The day has already seemed long. From leaving the estate to traveling with her son to Aria, Chasing him through the forest, placing a man to death and sparing another. The woman had decided to give this man a new life, his punishment is knowing that a nobleman died because of his actions, and the guilt of receiving her hospitality. Lyla had finished grooming the man's beard and hair, a skill acquired from many failed marriages in her lifetime. 

The woman watched her servant become giddy at the request she had given him. Seeing the rabbit quickly measure and size the new court member. She stepped aside and allowed Arthur to do his work, she looked over to where her son was sitting noticing that Kothar had fallen asleep. A light chuckle escaped her lips, it seems as the day wasn't long just for her. The barber walked over to the Empress and spoke softly. " Mad'am your son is done, seems it was rather too relaxing for him. " a laugh came from his lips " You have a precious boy, I am greatly honored to be able to serve your majesty." Lyla smiled and nodded- He seems precious when he's sleeping, but when he is awake that is another story. - The barber looked over to Syn looking over Lyla's work. " You do excellent work. Your husband is lucky to have a woman who can care for him." Lyla rolled her eyes as the mans back was turned. She had forgotten the rumor that Lyla had to create so suitors would stop bombarding her steps. Lyla has ruled alone since day one, and it has never changed. She never trusted anyone with equal power over her lands. Lyla smiled when the barber turned around.- I better get him to camp. -She looks over to her slumped over son and picked up him- Oi Boy you are getting too big for your mother. -She placed one arm under his legs and the other arm around his back holding him close to her body.- Syn, will you please throw my coat over me.- As the man took her coat off the rack and placed it over her shoulders, Lylas left hand threw the hood over her head.- I wish not to be stopped by a crowd when my son is in my arms -Lyla headed back to the wall, where her men set camp. Lyla wished not to use the Lillian kingdom to stay as it was over run by government officials and she did not want to be bombarded with their issues and complaints. Lyla went to her tent and set her son down on his cot. The woman placed a kiss on Kothars forehead. She left the tent and walked over to the head guard.- This is Syn he will be one of my main guards, possibly replacing you if anything happens to my son while I am in town -The guard swallows his saliva and nods, waiting his turn to speak. He is to stay here as well. I wish not to be accompanied today. "But Mad'am" -But nothing. I can handle myself, do you not have faith in your Lady? "That isn't what.." Plus after today's ordeal, I doubt anyone will test me... -the man interrupted- "There are unknown ships at the dock" -Lyla stopped her rant and looked at him with a frown?- Explain. "There was a fleet of ships that had crashed into the docked ships, 20 dead. There was a large man in white that unboarded, then he disappeared. -Lylas eyes glared, as her chest tightened. Was is Dragon? Is Kothar's father, inland? -Many thoughts ran through her head. Now wasn't the time for her to panic, Lyla started to calm herself. "Before they hit the dock, people claimed to see a swarm of dragons head over the wall, inland" Lyla turned around and walked over to one of the carriages that had their weapons. "Mad'am shall..." No, Stay here and make sure no one leaves or enters Aria until I figure out who is here!- Her voice was stern and darkened with confusion. Lyla grabs her sword and straps the belt to her hip. Two fingers were placed to her lips and a high-pitched whistle rang through the trees. Moments after a thunderous clatter of hooves came barreling to the camp. Clio her 30 hand Shire War stallion came trotting up. Lyla snapped her fingers ordering one of the men to tack him up. She walked over to Syn.- Your duty is to stay with my son, if anyone but I walk into to that tent, you are to strike them down. Do you understand me? - Before he could respond Lyla walked to Clio mounting him swiftly and digging her heels into his flank. Taking off west to the shore. Her coat blown back as her white hair followed. Many people started panicking with the era of panic Lyla was giving off. Was it Dragon.. was he here. if not who was. Before she knew it Lyla was at the docks, she noticed people being pulled out of the water, boats, and docks damaged... She looked around only seeing commoners. Lyla nose twitched with a familiar scent. Her piercing eyes played upon the only standing ships. Lyla walked over to the peacemaker.- Is there any word on who these ships may be? -The man was startled by the woman's voice that pierced through the cries of the wounded and the widows. The man placed down the dead body he was carrying to turn and bow to the Empress. " No ma'dam Lyla. We were too busy trying to save who and what we can. " -The woman threw up her hand cutting him off- Has anything or anyone unloaded? -The man shook his head.- " Only a large man in white. He was almost as tall as the houses. " -Lyla placed her knuckle in her mouth biting on it. The pain kept Lyla from out bursting- Very well. Continue to salvage what you can. -The woman walked away looking at the ships and around the area.-

Nanoacademic Technologies Inc & Kothar Launch Quantum EDA

Nanoacademic and Kothar introduce the first Quantum Electronic Design Automation Suite.

Nanotech Academic Inc.

Kothar Computing and Nanoacademic Technologies Inc. entered a historic strategic agreement to build the first Quantum Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software suite. This October 30, 2025, initiative intends to make quantum chip production easier to convert from physics-driven to reproducible and engineering-driven. This EDA package reflects the fundamental revolution that altered the semiconductor industry.

A single toolchain for modelling, improving, and scaling superconducting and semiconductor spin qubit quantum circuits is the collaboration's main goal. This collaborative platform intends to industrialise quantum hardware design and prepare scalable, foundry-ready quantum computers.

Creating Quantum EDA

The partnership introduces Quantum EDA. EDA suite, a simulation and design platform, lets researchers and engineers model, optimise, and scale next-generation quantum circuits. Nanoacademic and Kothar are providing this unified toolkit to help the quantum sector transition from lab devices to industrial-scale chip design.

The semiconductor industry relies on EDA, so this effort is critical. Félix Beaudoin, CEO of Nanoacademic Technologies, noted that quantum computers will require circuits with thousands or millions of qubits. There are no EDA systems that can represent quantum devices at this scale.

The collaboration allows chipmakers to virtually develop, test, and validate quantum devices. Virtual validation will reduce physical fabrication risk and cost.

Core Technology Integration: A Unified Toolchain

The final solution integrates two key features to blend both businesses' strengths:

One of the primary producers of quantum technology digital simulation and modelling tools is Nanoacademic Technologies. QTCAD (Quantum TCAD) provides high-resolution TCAD for device-level modelling and physics-based simulation. This approach simulates semiconductor devices, materials, and spin or superconducting qubits in high detail.

Kothar's Quantum Symbolic Algebra Engine: Kothar Computing builds next-generation scientific computing tools to revolutionise problem modelling, description, and solution. Kothar offers FORGE, the Quantum Symbolic Algebra Engine, to solve complex quantum systems. This engine speeds simulations with numerical frameworks and many-body solvers. Most crucially, Kothar solves Nanoacademic's QTCAD models quickly enough to make quantum computer design interactive. The engine's interactive computational physics environment speeds design and analysis.

The unified suite will let designers construct and model quantum processors, efficiently translating complex physical models into performance data.

Breaking the Chicken-and-Egg Bottleneck

Kothar Computing CEO Jonathan Riddell calls the quantum industry's simulation tool shortage a 'chicken-and-egg conundrum'. Current classical tools cannot reproduce the sophisticated quantum many-body physics involved, making it difficult for the quantum community to build quantum computers to simulate tough quantum issues, Riddell added.

Riddell claims hardware design is hampered by highly linked quantum material simulation. This constraint has slowed chemistry, physics, and materials research.

The new Quantum EDA software should solve this simulation problem. For this, Kothar's Quantum Symbolic Algebra Engine interfaces directly with Nanoacademic's TCAD layer. This integration lets you simulate larger, more sophisticated systems and quantum systems orders of magnitude faster. Therefore, scientists can now swiftly model the compact model of a quantum processor and the atomic-level behaviour of individual qubits.

The parties compared the partnership to the turning point in traditional computing when TCAD and EDA technologies allowed transistors to grow from hundreds to billions. Spin qubits are particularly promising for developing practical quantum computers due to their compact size, low error rates, and compatibility with conventional silicon foundries.

Academic Approvals and Next Steps

Academic specialists that use the technology recommend these advanced simulation tools. Dr. Mark Kamper Svendsen, Assistant Professor and Group Leader at the Niels Bohr Institute, said QTCAD lets researchers simulate and refine qubit designs before production. This reduces costly lab trial-and-error and speeds discovery. Dr. Svendsen believes quantitatively precise predictions are essential for translating theoretical notions into quantum device designs for scalable quantum processing.

Vincent Philippe Michal, an assistant professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, was optimistic about the partnership's quantum EDA progress, seeing it as the next important step to scaling the technology.

The alliance aims to speed up quantum hardware design to make it more interactive and affordable. The partners are using Kothar's powerful quantum many-body solvers and Nanoacademic's physics-based modelling capabilities to create scalable quantum EDA solutions.
