There is something intriguing to me about keeping track of the context around a project that is itself simply the context of a thing. It is all very convoluted, but in the convolution there is clarity.

Essentially, this blog is an opportunity for me to discuss the process of writing these stories from within the character of Matthus Sparrowblade. Forcing myself to think about why he would include this story, and what questions he would be having, helps keep me honest.

"And of course, whether Iskandran or Cilanese, the Narti, shortly after their immigration, encountered the Netherwild."

In one of his strange omissions, presumably fueled by the belief that no one would ever be ignorant of the Netherwild, Saxo brushes past it. Have I seen a good description of the Wild anywhere? I have been exposed to it in countless stories and writings, but has anyone actually sat down and described what it is? Does anyone, even now, truly know what it is?
