One of the things I love most about my worldbuilding is the isolated pockets of civilization that have had enough time separated by wastelands to develop completely unique cultures, and thus, stories. Perfect for a series of standalones!

Our #CRPbrimstone daily prompt for today goes really well with #CampMyth (at least in my case! Haha)
My favourite thing is the Gods, myths and magic in my world. It's just SO fun to think about (do I sometimes use it as an excuse to procrastinate on writing? Maybe, maybe not...we'll never know🤭)

“Sanjiin was not conscious of what immediately followed. All he knew was that when he opened his eyes, his head throbbed and he couldn’t feel his lip. He had been propped against a wall, slumped forward so that bloody drool dripped into his lap.”

Wouldn’t have guessed my favorite book character (so far this year) would be a crow named Shit Turd but somehow that just feels appropriate to the times

!! Super late to this prompt !!
I initially wasn’t going to share since this is still a WIP (half of Sanjiin’s personality aka projected glowing fists are missing) but my friend convinced me to share anyway.
I’m dang proud of how this is turning out ☺️

Multi POV:
Prof. Tinley (55) is tired of the magical elite’s BS and is going to find a scientific solution to the storm even if it hurts his already small ego.
Archie (29) can’t summon magic yet makes a living through magic shows. Just not enough to bail his sister from jail.

Rulers won’t let Prof. Tinley research the solution to a Chaos storm caused by their own overuse of magic. Enter: a fake magician, a disgraced soldier & Rayna, the Chaos witch he was tasked to 🔪. Though seen as a villain, Rayna may hold the key to the Prof’s research.

How to fight a Chaos storm caused by the overuse of magic? Sanjiin’s fists won’t help. Neither will Rayna’s Chaos. But together, Prof. Tinley believes science can be the glue to bind enemies and magical forces to save the last Haven city from itself.
