I’ve started working on the World Anvil profile for Uncharred again (nothing I’m particularly proud of yet, so no links). The main struggle is figuring out the point of view, oddly enough. When I was doing the monthly meditations last year, I noticed that I default to talking about Halqueme…
The tenth month of the year is called the Dusk-month in Halqueme. It is the time to be aware of the lerale of Earth — of rock and stone and of all solid matter that isn’t alive. The lerale of Earth is one of the three eldest leralath. In many…

In keeping with the traditions of Halqueme, the 15th is the day to reflect on a given topic. ~*~*~*~ After the playful eleventh month—the Mist-Month, the time of games and the lerale of Chaos—comes the twelfth month. It’s the last month of the year, the one which ends with the…
