Index Entry: Rothcar and Radrezaria

Tower of the Gods
(Toggle)

The story of a couple of assassins, a priest, some talking cats, a god, and a city. The original concept came from my first reading of Eve Forward's Villains by Necessity.

Most of my story fragments involve Blaine, an excommunicated priest and healer working in the Assassins' Guild, and Silverlock, his lover and a conscience-less killer. Occasionally Blaine's adopted daughter Foxbird makes an appearance, too. Silverlock also appears in Stella Matin as Theron's teacher, a good 200 years after the end of this story.

Earlier fragments no longer fit into the story continuity as it currently exists.

Stella Maeroris (or Stella Matin)
Nanowrimo 2004: Zombies! It's a story in two parts, the first part being mostly backstory for the world in the second part. It revolves around Theron, a superpowerful user of forbidden magics, and Bren, his best friend and an all around nice guy. They fight crime! Only they don't, not at all; Theron snaps and takes over the country, killing Bren and a lot of other people in the process. He turns them all into zombies and turns himself into an immortal quasi-undead thing, and starts doing his damndest to turn the whole world into a zombie infested ball of pollution.

Cut 200 years in the future; live people are second class citizens, and Theron rules everything with an iron fist. A Dead woman starts showing prophetic powers, and sees Theron's downfall. She leads a revolution, eventually; Theron (known as the Voyance at this time), tracks her down and presses her into his service. The second half of the story isn't really plotted, but it involves Stella, the prophetess, Walker, the zombified version of Bren, and a bunch of other characters who are vaguely important, sort of.

The earlier fragments aren't entirely accurate, story-wise; I wrote them before the start of the Nano, so they're mostly just proto-plot and character pieces.

At some point after meeting Bren but before he goes crazy, Theron leaves Radrezaria and goes to Rothcar to learn magic. Silverlock picks him up and spends seven or eight years training him and making his life miserable; a number of these fragments deal with that.

Theron also occasionally runs into Drake and Finbar from Asprosdrakos' 2003 Nanowrimo story "Wake of Wings." Shennanigans generally ensue.
