I don’t know if I ever shared this, but I came across some old Cirsova notes I’d used for some basic historical guide-lines. These probably can’t be considered canon, but if you actually enjoyed the setting, you might get a kick out of them.

You’ll note that by this timeline City at the Top of the World takes place roughly 1000 years before “present” of the setting as well as the book I’m kind of half-working on. I’ve changed the scope of the follow-up book to be more about these two characters and their story, removing the aspects that worked in the original D&D adventure. I feel that the tone didn’t quite work, even if I pulled a quantum narrative. An urban and sea adventure in Gatlia doesn’t quite jibe with the horrifying setup of Altier being burned to the ground on the night of the Goash festival. I think I’ll split off that aspect to be its own book. Maybe even make that one second person? I think this book works better to establish Percy and the conspiracy for the throne he’s involved in, but the limitations of a Choose Your Own Adventure format would make it difficult to explore both the setup through this main character AND allow the reader to explore and become involved with it. I MIGHT go with a “canon” ending of the second book, though, to the extent that the characters from the 2nd book will remain relevant in 3rd, though they will not be the “player characters”.
