Tantz_Aerine onThe sparring has begun! And what's some sparring between teen boys with sharp metal swords that are totally not the safe training swords without crass banter?
I'm just so happy I get to create my own world again, without needing to cross-check a gazillion times with 300 history books! …okay, yes, I'm still cross-checking with a ton of history books again, but this time because I'm mixing and matching, and seeing to make this world feel old. Very old.
Anyway, in the background is a glimpse of one of the castle's courtyards, I had a ton of fun making it, and a bit of whimpering because DETAILS. Ditto for the sword choreography.
So, next update will be on Friday, September 30 and it's very hard not to update daily for like a week and then have no buffer. XD If you want to see what's next now, though, you can become my patron!

From the architectural style of the castle I would guess: Maximum 800 years old. But hey … it might be (supposedly) a parallel universe.

Well, this is a fantasy world, so it's got its own timeline, history, religion, and magic system! However you're not really off. The Despotate is around 1000 years old, and the castle has been repaired/rebuilt/expanded quite a few times over that.

Agreed, nice mix of flowing action/conversation and showing the environment.

thank you! I'm still not sure it works 100% but I'm blaming Etan. The why comes in a couple of pages. XD
