<p> The World Beside, the place that all spirits are born and eventually fade. The spirits bleed into the world itself, melding with humans and beasts, letting them wield power beyond normal human reckoning. Running from a city that stole his voice, Ferrin lands in a forest brought to life with lightning. Armed with powers he's never seen before and a desire to never be trapped again, he sets out in a world that Humanity may have claimed, but does not own. </p> <p> I'm not that great at writing Synopses. The World Beside is a story that--like many other stories here--has been floating around in my head for a while now. The story centers around Ferrin, a man whose whole life has been spent in service of a higher class that is melded with spirits called the Voiced. The servant class is called the Voiceless, which means before the start of the story, he's never actually spoken a word in his life. The setting is somewhat typical high fantasy, but I hope to put enough spin on it to be a refreshing and new experience. </p> <p> This isn't the first story I've ever written, but it is the first one that I plan to fully commit to and not just write on a lark. It'll be mainly focused on Ferrin as a character and the exploration of a world that despite having human cities sprinkled over it has been mostly unexplored until now. </p> <p> The current plan is a chapter every Tu-Th-Sa, but there may be more if I get on a really big writing kick and extend my backlog more. Chapters will be around 2k words in length. </p> <p> <a href="https://i.imgur.com/DX8HCXf.jpg"> Here is the current map, which will be more filled out with detail as Ferrin goes places. </a> </p>
