Just published the first entry in my world-building series for The Woven Edge.

🌍 Why Arallu Feels Alive
– deserts that remember
– skies that ripple with resonance
– a city built like a palimpsest

Why Arallu Feels Alive

Arallu is the heart of my speculative fiction project, The Woven Edge. The name itself is borrowed from Mesopotamian myth, where Arallu referred to the land of the dead — an underworld of dust, silence, and shadows.
