WIP Update – 08 Sep 14
I’ve found myself hooked on this Cross Arc story I’m developing. I’m tentatively calling it The Celestial Kingdom, but this is subject to change. I decided to tie it into an earlier story idea to at least make a two-parter, though I may look to expand it into a trilogy. Said earlier idea was inspired by a Western I watched years ago where the Chinese were referred to as “Celestials” and that got me thinking of a world split between two societies: the Celestials and the Infernals. Particularly, I imagined a Celestial woman being sold into slavery on the surface and our hero’s rescue of her. I decided to tie this in as the backstory of the more recent idea, which got its start in a dream I had a few nights ago. I’ve since been doing a lot of worldbuilding and such. I’ve decided to make the Celestials headed by a pretender to the throne of Earth, combining some of the qualities of the society of the Fifth Empire with aspects of the Han Dynasty. Doing lots of research. Fun stuff. Anyway, I’ll probably be at this another day or two before I start paying attention to anything else. Once details are solidified more, I’ll probably be adding teasers to the Cross Arc page. Stay tuned.
