#Tale25 Reflections

-


 #Tale25 Failed! Haha! I lost steam around a 3rd of the way to the end, writing 280 out of 365 entries to a novella I attempted to write. Alas, I think I was getting to ahead of myself, thinking I could write a full novella bit by bit. 

 While there were some neat moments I wrote, the interactions between each character were extremely shallow with only a few moments having any meaningful interaction.

Thanks to this exercise however, I've learned my weaknesses and will attempt to address them by writing shorter fiction in the upcoming #Drama26, which I plan write several short plays / fairy tales based on both #Calamupa and #Ulrunir.  

Like the other reflection, I've listed the top 9 tale fragments.

Only 9 stars were lit in the world of Calamupa during the endeavours of Hajer, Gumue, Domel and Shurmo. Thankfully, each character had at least 1 star, which means at least their narrative resounded with some people, which surprises me.

 In terms of character popularity, Gumue comes first, had the most stars, followed by Hajer, followed by Domel and Shurmo. 

Top 9 starred tale fragments:

  1. 217: Featherstrummer Part 96
  2. 203: Sellsword Part 918
  3. 166: Lancebearer Part 42
  4. 98: Featherstrummer Part 71
  5. 90: Sellsword Part 78
  6. 13: Tentweaver Part 21
  7. 8: Featherstrummer Part 41
  8. 7: Featherstrummer Part 3
  9. 1: Sellsword Part 1

A25.193,463 Crowdragon Range

-
An extremely windy mountain range. Small creatures with inadequate footing may be blown off balance. Occasionally one hears the croaking chorus of distant herds of wooly toads and the cawing of crafty Crowdragons who roost and nest in the shadow of the dark blue peaks the cut the welkin like a jagged wound. The terrain is extremely steep and precarious. It takes 3 days to cross the mountain range on foot with adequate mountain gear. Experienced riders of mountain goats may take 2 days. Encounters Roll 1d6 Encounter 1 Flock of 2d6+2 Young Crowdragons 2 Stampede of Giant Wooly Toads.

A25.192,465 Manticore Belfry

The Manticore Belfries... Home to madmen breeding bloodthirsty manticores. The promise of treasure is great. That - I'll admit. But I'd stay clear of that place if I were you... Unless you are a madman yourself, or enjoy the feeling of spines piercing your flesh. Wastetreader Dykstra A cluster of 200ft tall tapered towers made of alabaster bricks topped with a bulbous cage that serve as belfries for manticores. The towers are connected to one another via 100ft wide cliffside tunnels open to one side, held up by rock-hewn pillars fixed with sconces. These partially open tunnels snake around the edges of the cliff, connecting the Greater East Wall to the north and the Lesser Wall to the south. At the foot of each of the towers are fortifications accessible through a thick iron gate, staffed with a platoon of undead soldiers. They will not attack unless provoked. The towers are all 6 levels high, and access to each level is allowed through a large spiral staircase t...

T25.180 The Lancebearer, Part 4.16

After a few moments, the quartermaster returned with a chest and a key. Placing it on his side of the counter, he unlocked it and withdrew from it two bronze badges. "You're in luck... We just have two left," he spoke as he placed the two badges on the counter and shifted it towards the three.
