Another word not in THE RILL LORD, so I went with "snake," which as a verb does a lot of visual work!
This compact snip depicts a sorcerous battle. Can't say much more than that. This is a big book and battle!

A recent inciting incident -- there are lots of these in the series, as one thing incites another -- is the grotesque death of one of the Triempery's rulers.
How it happened, and who done it, depends on who is doing the telling. It creates a succession dispute.

Here's a great illustration of Chyralane Rannuleonis, Denizen of the Seven Houses, who would not call herself a villain but is one. Such a fun character!
Link to my blog essay on Chyralane in comment. 😉

Only immortals remember the Devastation, the destruction of the First Creation.
Even so, stories and songs about the event persist through generations as lessons against hubris, greed, and sacrifice. No one wants Devastation to happen again!

When things go wrong between Hans and Dorilian, nothing will stop Hans from trying to put things right. A short bit without spoilers from THE RILL LORD but it uses "impede."

A persistent conspiracy theory drives several plot arcs of the Triempery series.
Much of the population believes Dorilian Sordaneon committed the slaughter of godborn princes at Permephedon. The villain finds that convenient. So do some rivals.

Readers may notice that my book titles describe what the book is about. Often literally.🤷♀️
As a reader I may not even know the title of a book I'm reading! I picked that book because the cover intrigued me. Or I read something about it. Or read a page(s).

This snip is about the Rill, which plays a major role in the final book, THE RILL LORD (it's in the name!). In this snip, the Rill is having... problems. As one might expect given what's going on.

A great war between the Aryati and the newly created Highborn race occurred at the dawn of the Second Creation.
The Three, sons of Amynas and Leur, fought the last Aryati survivors. They won and founded kingdoms that became the Triempery.

Today I'd like to showcase the work of artist @margawart.bsky.social
.
The collage is of illustrations she did of some of artifacts found in the Triempery series. Lower right is the Rill Stone and in the center is the Undying Crown. More in the alt-text.

Though there are many "debuts" in the Triempery series, none use that word. So I went with "show up."
The scene in THE SECOND STONE where Dorilian shows up and Hans and Arne first see him is a good one.

Both Hans and Dorilian are shaped by decisions the Wall Lord Endurin made in breaking Essera's succession in favor of Marc Frederick. Hans is Marc Frederick's grandson. This MATTERS.
Dorilian's ancestors were literal gods, Amynas and Leur. And the Rill. This matters too.

Seldom. But some scenes have benefitted from having certain music in the background.
I often use music from the Altiplano of South America for Sordan.

"Global" doesn't appear in the Triempery series, but there's lots of talk about the "world." Here's a bit from THE RILL LORD in which Dorilian lays a global, as in "encompassing," truth about the series' villain, Nammuor.

Endurin Malyrdeon, the last Wall Lord, used that Entity to sift through timelines both past and future. He sought to set into place both bloodlines and persons toward resolving a looming catastrophe.
Endurin is revered but some of his actions were divisive.

I've always written for joy and never felt like an imposter except when moving in certain social circles... but about my writing, never.
My advice is to proudly be what you are. An author. A writer. A creator. A unique, wonderful human.

Crystals serve to house arcane energy in the Triempery series. Here in this snip from THE RILL LORD, we see such crystals used in battle. On the field of battle, Dorilian contemplates the source of the attack.

The Triempery series has DEEP history and lore. The civilization of the Aryati existed before the current story and committed acts that destroyed the original Creation.
Ruins? A ruined World. The Rill. And three Cities.

This snippet is from the 5th book of the Triempery Revelations series, THE WALLED CITY. In it, Dorilian does a bit of crypt-robbing. Why? You'll have to read the book...

Battlefields are chaotic. Finding "direction" is vitally important and sometimes difficult. In this bit from THE RILL LORD, Arne finds himself needing to make decisions.

The Illumination of Amynas takes place in Sordan, on the shore of Sarkuan Lake, every spring. First Day is a feast. Second Day is fasting and a sacred play. Third Day celebrates the New Year.
There are grand scenes in two books set in this event.

My husband and I watch mindless reality dating/marriage shows like Love Is Blind or, most recently, Married At First Sight.
I feel really good about having found and married him when watching those shows! He's a keeper!

THE RILL LORD uses this word several times. One of the best is this passage with Cortogh, a Dog Man, as the POV character. The Dog Men are lots of fun, especially their differences from humans.
