<content:encoded>&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Reader, thank you for arriving on the shores of &lt;em&gt;Imar&lt;/em&gt;. Here, mist shrouds the land, and distant cries call for tales yet to be told. 🌌&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As its author, I am your first stop before the gates of this mysterious realm. Heed these words of caution as you delve deeper into Imar:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;📚 The Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Imar&#39;s Weaving of Life and Death&lt;/em&gt; is a collection of novels set within a interconnected universe. Over the years, numerous tales have been drafted, diverse races fleshed out, and diverse magic systems forged. But remember well... all are ever-watched by the Imar. 👁️&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first tale follows the story of young Faoros through a simulation called the Game of Life. &lt;strong&gt;Good news, the story is already fully written at 100,000 words&lt;/strong&gt;, and I am actively working on the next one! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Raven&#39;s Game of Change&lt;/strong&gt; launched at &lt;strong&gt;9 March 2026&lt;/strong&gt; on Royal Road and will run until end of June. My patreon account will steadily be 8 chapters ahead following the same release schedule. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;📅 The Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expect a massive release drop during a novel&#39;s debut! After the initial launch, I will follow a steady &lt;strong&gt;2 chapters per week&lt;/strong&gt; release schedule until the novel&#39;s completion. Because I don&#39;t plan on debuting any novel that isn&#39;t 100% finished, there may be short breaks between books if I haven&#39;t finished writing. Hopefully, that won&#39;t be the case but only the Imar can tell. ⏳&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;✒️ The Chapters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For me, the natural pacing of the story always comes first. I do my best to keep chapters in the sweet spot of 2,000 to 3,000 words. If a chapter naturally runs longer than 3k words, it will be split into parts for easier reading -and to enable the author, me, to keep a healthy writing schedule amidst a daily life full of research (for my history studied) and his daily work (must put food on the table somehow). Occasionally, a shorter chapter might slip in. I deeply appreciate your understanding. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🏕️ A Heartfelt Thank You&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The world of Imar was crafted over the past decade through long conversations, many sleepless nights, and countless role-playing campaigns. However, bringing it to life on the page is only possible through &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; support. ✨&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you decide to stay a &lt;strong&gt;Traveler&lt;/strong&gt; 🗺️, turn into an &lt;strong&gt;Explorer&lt;/strong&gt; 🧭, or brave the mysteries of Imar and advance into an &lt;strong&gt;Adventurer&lt;/strong&gt; ⚔️, you have my sincerest thanks. Your support will be used exclusively to hone my tales to perfection and give rise to new ones. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for bearing with me, and welcome aboard! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]&gt;</content:encoded>
