Tyful: The Eternal Winter

Writer's picture: Randall HarrisRandall Harris

 

"You are beautiful. The crystalizing of your skin into an ashen grey. Your hair as it withers and falls like dead leaves. But it's the way the light fades from your eyes that is everything to me. "

~Tyful, The Eternal Winter~

Tyful is the child of the great earth elemental Makabu. No one knows when it arrived, but stories of blighted lands and trees turned brittle from the cold began when the first mana generator was built, in the city of J'Hasti. It is said that the creation of the machine summoned Tyful as punishment to return mana back to the world. Others say it travels from village to village, devouring people who have strayed from ancient ways. Parents use stories of Tyful to scare their children into obedience, while politicians use the stories to stoke fear and line their pockets. Some say it's one creature; others say there are many. But no one says it isn't real, and all are aware of its only desire. To feed on the people of Aalam.

I know I said that I wasn't going to reveal Tyful, but when you have something this spooky and awesome, it's difficult to keep it to yourself. There are plenty more big bads in Aalam, so you wait!

So, I decided to cancel my demos for this month. We've entered the busiest time of the year, and people are running around non-stop. I will still drop newsletters and updates on my blog. The editor is working on my second book. I'm ironing out some details in the first book and finishing up on the third book. So, there are lots of irons in the pot! I want to thank everyone for supporting me and my game, reading my newsletters, and subscribing to the site. If this is your first time reading this, leave an email for more updates on awesomeness. Aalam will be on the shelves and in everyone's home before you know it! Thanks again, everyone; stay safe and warm. And between the hustle of life, have fun! I love you like watching a horror movie in a dark house!

Take care

Randall Harris
