Her journey will be a test of will, a collision of worlds that will lead her through battle, pain, and love, and into the touch of her saint's divine power. With her sword arm and an unbreakable spirit, Meliantha will seize her destiny, refusing to be defined by anything but the choices she makes.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · 6d

Now, as she comes of age and steps out into the world, she must forge her own path. Will she embrace the monstrous heritage she was born with, or the noble purpose she was taught?

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · 6d

But she was raised in the sanctuary of a temple dedicated to the patron saint of guardians, her fiery nature tempered by lessons of self-sacrifice and control. She learned to stand not for destruction, but as a shield between the innocent and danger.

The text in the video:

Born of a mortal and a fiend from the Corrupted Planes, Meliantha is a fiendblood, a living contradiction. Many expect her to be a monster—destructive, uncontrollable, and driven by an insatiable lust for battle.

So basically, you're doing the "I have been silenced!" cartoon by Barry Deutch.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The first because, well, let's be honest, there are an insufficient number of magically powered sex toys in fantasy fiction. The second because it's just such a powerful image in my mind.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · 14d

for the indecents, I know that Maisie and Jey's scene with the enchanted strap-on from the epilogue to Ballad would be for them, and for Meli and Lili it's them on the floor after their first time having sex, surrounded by the demolished dinner table.

"Post your Couples".

...i need to get decent art of them. Jey (The Grey Swan) and Maisie; and Meliantha and Liliana. One day I'll be able to afford to get both decent and (properly) indecent arts of them.

For those not in the know, I've been informed by credible sources that Google Docs is now culling material written and saved there that does not meet political or community standards (i.e. NSFW fanfics have disappeared from people's Google Docs storage!).

Anyway, I hope you decide to join me in Taeliana, and in helping me to create it and keep my head above water doing so.

I love this world I managed to make somehow and I am happy to share it with you.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

Oh, yeah, and if you do go for the Secrets level, you'll also get a discount code for upcoming book purchases. Hey, you helped fund it, so you deserve a little something.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

Finally, at the secrets level, at the six-month point, I'm going to make available a special PDF of all the text for free, done up in a nice PDF booklet for download and offline reading. The kind of thing you'd get off DriveThruRPG for a game.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

There's also going to be a map of Barony Corbeau (the setting of Ballad of the Grey Swan) coming, as well as a map of Calliasha, the Imperial Capitol, showing important sites. The basic subscription gets it for a single printable page, while the Secrets level gets it in high resolution.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

There will also be other perks available to people at the Secrets level, things like the first chapter of the books when they're ready to go, or a pre-release of a short story, or a first glimpse of the complete cover.

What's the truth about the Corruptor? What's really behind the scenes with magic? Why are all the Horsemasters of the Khu-Talas Plains women? Why are the Gods so quiet and why are there saints?

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

Now, at the $6 a month level you get the secrets level. There are places in the big essays that say things like "No one knows" or "It's unknown". This is where those get answered.

Chronicles of Taeliana @taelianabooks.bsky.social · Jun 29

I mean, this is stuff I had to write to keep track of how the world works, redone and improved for publication. This is literally right out of my head. It's also things that people with a top-flight education would know in Taeliana.
