We apologize greatly for the delay in our announcement. Communication infrastructure throughout the Filament has been subject to tampering by third parties, and we are working to mitigate the effects swiftly.
Firstly, if you wish to learn more about the events unfolding in the Great Coliseum, we have created an introductory blurb to the main cast and context for your convenience. Do not be confused by the name attached to the host; the Magesmith is a key member of our council.
More importantly, the second of six total releases for the first chapter of our adventure has been presented to the Sponsors; with luck, this means you will be able to enjoy this psionocast free of charge within the next quarter-standard.
Until then, we appreciate any and all spreading of our messages, and thank you for your patience.
Real life translation: The second drop for The Lost went live for $3+ Patrons this weekend! From here, I'll be posting one scene every other week until the first chapter is complete - which means there's about two months of Patron-only releases until the entire first chapter goes public!
Last week, I also posted a Comic Sans WIP Intro for the comic - for those unfamiliar with the ways of Writeblr, that basically means I made a quick run-down for each main character, the basic premise behind the world, and teased at the plot threads I've already established in the first drop. It's a great way to decide if you want to join the Patreon before the first public release, or to just get a feel for what kind of story you'll be getting!
Thanks so much for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the story whenever you end up reading.
