Eshor
Reconstruction efforts have thus been slow. Much of the trade that once flowed through the city has shifted to rival cities, with the Silent Sea becoming a haven for pirates and outlying territories being raided by outlaws and neighbouring powers. And all the while, unbeknownst to all, an ancient terror stirs deep beneath the city, preparing the way for its re-emergence into the world.

News - December 30 2025:
This month has not gone as I'd hoped.
I did a bunch of prep work in the first half of November, planning to have all the organizational problems squared away and everything in Eshor freshly edited to be ready for a big surge of worldbuilding in December. But that didn't pan out.
I got a nasty cold later in the month that robbed me of a lot of my energy, and depression rose up and took the rest from me. I'm finally getting myself out of the doldrums from that now, but..it's December 30th and I've only got something like 200 words done in WorldEmber, and a bunch of things to take care of outside of just writing. While I'd love to do a last-week sprint and get the other 9800 words cranked out, that's just not realistic, and setting such a lofty goal is just asking for failure and feeding the depression spiral. You beat depression back by finding the wins you can manage, and building on them over time. Hopefully, there will be a time when I can hammer out 10000 words of worldbuilding in a week no problem. But it's not this week.
For now, my focus will turn towards reading - the community has put out a ton of work this month, and reading some of that should help me get back in the right headspace for this.
I'll also start plugging away at the editing I had planned to get done in November - you'll note that my cold and depression struck back then so...a good chunk of that prep work never actually got done either.
