So happy to finally have a website to call my own! Thank you so much to GDS for all your help in making The True Realm<\/em> happen; I will be sure to give you an analogous character in my book (with your permission of course, hehe). Also, a huge thank you to everyone that helped me along the way, providing editing suggestions, feedback and general support. This project would not have happened without you and your undying belief in my ability to actually put pen to paper.<\/p>\n

This website will primarily be used to post chapters in my novel and other material related to it,\u00a0 <\/em>which can be\u00a0found in the ‘Truths’ section accessible from the main page. Beyond that, I will also occasionally post unrelated material, possibly in the form of musical recordings and\/or videos, scores and other written works. My ultimate hope is that I can garner enough of a fanbase to attract the attention of a prospective publisher, though I will settle for bitcoin remuneration. Or food stamps. Or FoodCoin. (Is that a thing? ‘Cause if it’s not it should be!).<\/p>\n

Regardless of the success of the TR, I sincerely hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. As the great wizard Kelandrion Medis Muratatus\u00a0<\/em>put it:<\/p>\n

“In the end, the greatest\u00a0Truth\u00a0<\/em>is that life was worth living. Time passed without purpose is nothing more than an arrow that sits nocked in its bow, aiming at some distant target for the sake of aiming, without any direction in the world. Without direction, we may as well just be a rock sitting in the bottom of a nameless pond, unmoving, unwanting…unbeing.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The True Realm cannot truly\u00a0be\u00a0<\/em>without those to read it. Even the\u00a0Kryptogannum\u00a0<\/em>is powerless were it to have no universe in which to inscribe its events.\u00a0While the\u00a0Realm<\/em> surely exists in\u00a0my head,\u00a0<\/em>it can go no further until it is allowed to. And that is where you, dear reader, come in. By supporting this site you not only encourage the\u00a0doors to open – you\u00a0create\u00a0<\/em>them. Without you, there is nowhere else for me – and all of the Realm – to go, outside of this small room in which I now sit writing these words. And if there is anything the lessons of the\u00a0Realm\u00a0<\/em>have taught me, it’s that we cannot pursue truths alone. Let this, then, be\u00a0our\u00a0<\/em>shared adventure, for without one to share it, an adventure it would not be.<\/p>\n
