I remember being annoyed when I wrote this Azmoth article that it turned into a single article. They’re different empires, so I kind of felt that they deserved their own article. But the shared history and religion was enough that it didn’t justify repeating. Maybe I’ll think of a better way to organize it when I put together the pdf of the whole world.

This is another Azmoth article by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield that shows his creative deftness. This was almost a complete departure that I had in my head when I wrote the first document in the series. And it’s also completely better. A fascinating set of people, these Silkurees.

Back to one I wrote all by my lonesome. You can tell the very different style from the ones by Kije. I like the idea of the Hegs, and the quetzls weren’t a bad touch. I went much more high fantasy than the previous entries in the Azmoth series.

While Bask is my favorite article, this is the Azmoth article with the most potential for use, in my opinion. Buckets of plot/adventure hooks and a firm culture to go around it.

I remember editing this one and being impressed with the ingenuity and creative mind Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield had — even regarding stuff we eventually cut out.

This Azmoth article was originally written by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield under my direction. It was heavily modeled after Renaissance England or the Netherlands. Kije did a great job on all the articles, but I think this was my favorite.

Another Azmoth entirely by me. (The main document can be found here.) This one describes the peculiar traits unique to human beings on Azmoth.

This fantasy world section was written primarily by me and Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield for The Official Time-Waster’s Guide back in 2003. This particular article is 100% my own work, but a great many of the ideas in the further development of this setting were contributed by others, including Dan Wells, Jeff Crews, and Jordan Sanderson.

We suck at dealing with these things. We need to hold the Iranian leaders accountable for their abuse and their lies.

I don’t have much to add to this other than context. This is sort of a response to some therapy I was in. We had a discussion on personalizing principles and how, even if the answer is right, if the answer isn’t personal, it isn’t helpful. I thought a little about how to meet my own needs — and how to get what I needed, I had to be a certain way. But in order to be that way, I had to have my needs met. Where do you start? This also is influenced by both my father and my father-in-law talking about the first sentence — that the gospel is at it’s core selfish. We live it because it makes us happy.

Here’s a setting idea I flung out today. It’s not the best I’ve ever done, by a long shot. Hardly original. But it provides me a place I”m hoping I can write stories in with my daughters.

Yes, it has the absolute worst ending ever. Thank you.
