We’re at the end of January, and I’m figuring out my art goals for 2025 (finally!) I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m still not 100% clear on these goals, and it’s probably okay. So they are not so much actual goals as… directions? “At War’s Edge” Going Forward Definitely…
As promised, I’m reporting on last week’s art in progress. I’ve been working on the exterior of the Reulga city hall, and I’m pretty happy with where it’s going, although it’s not anywhere near done yet. Yeah, turns out, landscape design is hard. Especially when you’re inadvertently worldbuilding along the…
Happy New Year, everyone! May 2022 be kinder to us all than 2021 has been 🥂 Because conlanging has been such an important part of my life for the last couple of months, I couldn’t contain the urge to actually make greeting cards in some of Halqueme’s languages. So here…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 160 is up! So, yeah, that plan of Neia’s to talk to the editor even should the editor be dead already? Didn’t quite work out. Bonus #1. I do have another translation into Halcian for anyone who’s interested. Halcian is heavily based on Proto-Celtic, and…

Monthly meditations, continued =) The fifth month of the year on Halqueme is generally called the Flower-month, or the Blossom-month, and is associated with the lerale of… …it’s a tricky one. His name is commonly given as Olnem—sometimes as Olhest or Olnes. Some say he is the lerale of sleep…
Continuing the monthly meditations by the way of worldbuilding =) The fourth month of the year, on Halqueme, is called the River-month. In the north is associated with the spring thaw, and in the south with the seasonal flooding. It is also associated with the lerale of Water, and with the…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 119 is up! In which Regart Schtarz is getting some answers and Hesta the wyrm is a good girl.
I missed the last monthly meditation. It should have been on the lerale of Memory, and on love of learning, which is oddly symbolic. But this month we’re getting back on track. The lerale to be aware of during the Storm-month, the third month of the year, is the spirit…
The first month of the year, the one that follows the solstice and sees the increase in daylight, is generally called the Sun-Month. The lerale to be aware of in this month is Fate. Her symbol—which doubles as a symbol of the sun—is a wheel. There are two main ways…
