Home of the Dusk

In a peaceful world, where the roars of war are faraway and forgotten, only whispers at dusk keep memories and warnings of brutality alive. Louder are the cheers of the once warlike Arrkad'vla Empire celebrating strength and valor. Countless there set out to bask in these applauses. Among their ranks is a young, barely educated young man - Jyevodirr. To be the Kraturr, the Emperor of Arrkad'vla, all he needs to do is be considered the strongest. He knows he has the strength to do that. He believes in himself. What concerns him more are the connections he wants to make. People, politics, and the world - he hardly knows any of that. What he does know are the changes he wants to implement once in power. He's quite certain of them — but does he understand the gravity of Change?

Home of the Dusk is a High Fantasy tale in the form of an age old 'Coming of Age' tale that looks like a 'Quest for Power'. But any glance beneath that surface will reveal a complex world, complicated people, and questions tearing down assumptions — of power, strength, decadance and progress.

What not to expect?

*  A breakneck pace of plot-plot-plot, because this story lives in the quiet gestures as much as in the grand scheme of everything. *  Monologic tone, meaning more characters occasionally focused on rather than the protagonist only. *  Power driven plot, because power is not everything here. Doesn't mean power is irrelevant either. *  Simple numbers, meaning no Tables, Skills, numbers and RPG Systems. We honor the complexity of information here. *  Barebones Prosody, as I don't believe in the report format of writing. Not for a Novel.
