once i get to a decent stopping point with imreb’s story (in another “chapter” or two) i want to cast my eyes westward, likely into mornet (either just the province or the capitol city itself). i want to explore aajakiri culture and history more, and this story will likely be less detective-story and more “romantic.” might not even center around a saint, although if i do include a proper “romance” the non-pov member of the couple might be one.

a little taste of mornet: it’s much, much wetter than kolqust, ranging from moist subtropical forests to dense rainforests and thick fens, glades, and mires. the crystal cities of the aajakiri southwest are at their peak here, including the capitol city of mornet, mornet, and the near-mythical floating city-isle of ruun’kheyon in the center of the great lake ellaadra, split between mornet and kelgib. ruun’kheyon translates roughly as “swimmer in the light,” and floats upon the lake’s surface, its towering crystal spires never shifting an inch as it roams the lake ellaadra.

i hope to explore more of the everyday personal lives of the people i’ll write about there, with much lower stakes, certainly far from an occultation war. it’ll give me more room to explore some things about the tenvo (specifically aajakiri) culture and beliefs and practices.
