Chapter 3 Development Update (Patreon)

Chapter 3 is properly in progress now.

At the moment I’m working on the shift back into the keep after the road / outpost part of Chapter 2. So the focus is moving away from travel and back toward court scenes, pressure, reputation, and Serith being put in a more visible position.

A lot of Chapter 3 is about consequences. The outpost decision carries forward, and Serith’s relationship to Avel - and the way other people read that relationship - is becoming more important.

Here’s a short excerpt from an early draft:

“Lord Avel made space beside him with a slight turn of his body.

When Serith reached the table, his hand came to the small of her back.

The touch was light enough to survive as courtesy.

It guided her into place with no courtesy in it.”

I’m also working on the opening court section and more Chapter 3 visuals.

The recent supporter post showed Serith’s new court attire as it will appear in-game. I’ll keep posting more previews and smaller updates as the chapter comes together.
