Governments of Windemere: Everthorne

Posted on December 20, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

This city may have been mentioned, but it doesn’t make an appearance until Book 8.  This means I should explain the Northern Sister City a bit.  Everthorne sits on the craggy northern coast of Ralian.  It is nestled in a … Continue reading →

Governments of Windemere: Darkmill

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

This location has yet to be visited in the books, but it has been mentioned.  Ruled by Queen Ionia, Darkmill is a City of Magic and the Eastern Sister City.  By City of Magic, I mean it is created from … Continue reading →

Governments of Windemere: Gods’ Voice

Posted on December 18, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

The Central Sister City is where Duke Solomon, ruler of Serab, lives and makes the kingdom laws.  Again, this is a rather basic system with a ruler and his advisers.  I’ll get more into that later, but first an explanation … Continue reading →

Governments of Windemere: Hero’s Gate

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

For being one of the major areas of events in Legends of Windemere, Hero’s Gate isn’t a Sister City.  It’s decently sized with a profitable port and farmlands, but it’s actually a fisherman/farmer village that grew over the years.  So … Continue reading →

Governments of Windemere: Rodillen

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

This would be the second city that Luke Callindor, Nyx, and their friends visit in Prodigy of Rainbow Tower.  Rodillen is sometimes called Two-Faced City because it has an outer facade of a typical port city and the true face … Continue reading →

Governments of Windemere: Gaia

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

A while back I wrote about how the kingdom of Serab works.  Well, John W. Howell asked another question about how the smaller governments work in Windemere, so I’m going to briefly explain the unique ones this week. First up … Continue reading →

WIP: Lords of Hyperscape

Posted on December 13, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Some ideas are tough to translate into Windemere, but an odd idea clicks to suddenly fit them in.  At least if I feel like stepping away from the world-shaking adventures and do something a little more contained.  That’s where Lords … Continue reading →

How Important is Family? (Answered by Windemere Champions)

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

Luke Callindor–  This is a rather odd question.  Who would actually say that family isn’t important to them? Timoran Wrath–  There are people like that.  Though you do not usually see them in the role of hero.  Probably anti-heroes. Nyx–  … Continue reading →

The Helpless Hero

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

On Monday, I mentioned there was a repeated complaint about Luke Callindor being weak.  This stems from people thinking it’s entirely his story when it’s really an ensemble cast.  He isn’t as strong as Timoran, as smart as Delvin, as … Continue reading →

Luke Callindor and Nyx: Siblings By Battle and Pain

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Charles Yallowitz

First, I realized I couldn’t think of a ‘male/female’ friendship in literature that didn’t end up with a romance or have a one-sided interest.  It seems we’re incapable of having the opposite genders be closely linked by anything more than … Continue reading →
