Into Chapter 3 of Book 2 of Sem'se and things are kicking off with combat. There has been a lack of of persuading the fears of many in the Sem'se Warren and with a lot of little nudges from some specific bag Kobolds, there's now bloodshed.

Apologies all, no Sem'se post this week.
I fell apart while almost making a huge personal goal.
So instead, here is a screenshot of the background I chose for the Birthday Game this coming Saturday.

Getting back into writing after 2 months of nothing has definitely been difficult (the longer days at work didn't help any 😅).
I'm grateful to have been able to get out and watch a play at the #historicpalacetheatre in Lockport NY. The actors were phenomenal and the theater gorgeous.

New Posting Schedule - Sundays
January work on IG and adding BlueSky in February to that has had me meet wonderful people on BookGram and BookSky. Definitely had fun doing the two month challenges with daily posts.

Oh yeah, combined they all add more to the population’s quality of life than without (they did create Sem’se after all). 🧵1

Sem'se is a stable city state; trade flows, there haven't been any major attacks in years, no real political incidents in Ring Two, and there are still places within the city to grow.
It's all boring actually (until you read Book 1).

If you seek a tasting of Sem’se’s favorite treats, then look no further than Jannet’s Tea & Crumpets cafe located in Ring One where the checkpoint for Ring Two’s Southwest entrance is.

Like medieval times, the world of Garmth has no social safety net, if you can’t work and don’t have friends/family to help you, you’ll starve. Most of the continent Zoizierr is ruled by Kingdoms, Empires (singular rulers). There are a few councils & one Republic. 🧵1

The Upper Class has the money/connections/favor, while the Middle Class are skilled tradespeople, and the Lower Class are the unskilled labor.
What if you need financial help? Don’t.
