Chapter 3 Direction Poll (Patreon)

Chapter 2 is out now, and I’m planning the next part of Serith’s story.

Chapter 3 will move back toward the court, where Serith’s success makes her more useful — and much harder to ignore. Her mission is still the same: turn human interests against dwarven ones for the benefit of her house. But after the northern outpost, more people have reasons to watch her, test her, use her, or protect themselves from her.

What would you like Chapter 3 to lean into most?

You can choose more than one.

Reputation damage & humiliation — Serith being watched, judged, talked about, and forced to protect her name.

Public scrutiny / exhibition pressure — more scenes where the court controls how Serith is seen, dressed, displayed, or interpreted.

Sexual leverage & bodily compromise — more moments where access, protection, and influence come with a physical price.

Avel’s court power games — polite control, status, ownership, clothing, rooms, appearances, and social pressure.

Gareth suspicion / protection tension — Gareth watching her more closely, not fully trusting her, but unable to ignore what he thinks Serith is becoming.

Dwarf & outpost fallout — consequences from Serith’s manipulation and the human occupation of the northern post.

More choice-driven variations — more small decisions in how Serith reaches her goal and handles pressure.
