The site is live

The world is finished. Not the book — the world.

Zalian and Balian, the pact that split them, the Barrier made of air rather than steel, the Sphere and the glyph nobody has explained yet, the two people carrying the wrong god’s DNA in the wrong galaxy. All of it is written down, consistent with itself, and now it is up here where it can be read.

That is a real milestone and also a slightly dangerous one, because building a world is fun and writing a book is not. It is very easy to keep polishing a mythology forever and call it progress.

So: the next entry in this journal will not be about the site. It will be about Chapter 1 — the dream log downstairs, turned into prose. That is the only thing left that matters.

If you are reading this, you are extremely early. There is no book yet. There is a world, some pictures, and one man on a rooftop who cannot hear anyone any more.
