I have posted a (very) short story to the kelestia.com website.

If there is sufficient demand, I may consider continuing it, although I have to be careful not to pre-empt future work on the Emélrenè kingdom module...

In any case, here it is:

I hope this goes some way to addressing the call for more from Kelestia Productions before Christmas, which I'm afraid we aren't going to be able to meet.

Regards

Jeremy

An excerpt of the (unfinished) map of Emélrenè, to assist in visualising the journey:

I succumbed to calls for more...

Part II - the Elder Dark, is therefore now up....

There should be one more episode, at least, before Christmas.

Please let me know how you find it.

Jeremy

I have to say Jeremy, this is really excellent. I love the detail and how everything flows.

Please continue

I hope you have enjoyed this tale. We look forward to providing you more about Emélrenè in the upcoming Venârivè publication, and in a future Kingdom of Emélrenè module.

Any comments or feedback you have are most welcome.

Seasons greetings to everyone.

Regards

Jeremy and the team at Keléstia Productions.

These are the type of stories we need more of - by far one of the freshest approaches to introduction I've read in a very long time.

The writing draws the reader in and allows them to get a true feel as to what Emélrenè - and more importantly what NRC's vision of Kelestia is. I have to say I've read each section a couple times and really feel ready to jump into this region of the world and experience it firsthand.

I'm a bit perplexed though. Yes, I realize that Lythia isn't as active as it once was, but still I'm a bit shocked no one else has posted a reply.

Thanks Jeremy for the excellent read.

Nice work Jeremy!

Makes me want to drag out my old 'Conspiracy Theory' map and check where Abrelyn sits in relation to those pentagram lines...

edit: Well, from what I can make out on my blurry image (which is a bit better than the blurry image in Thonahexus 7), one of the pentagram lines passes just a few miles to the North-West of Abrelyn and maybe intersects the trail! My p-Hârn vision is unfazed by your new tale!!!

Hi Sard

I am planning another short story, illustrating another aspect of Venarive.

I may return to the Ábrelyn story at a later date.

Many thanks for all your kind words.

Regards

Jeremy

I told you they'd like it!
