The original hand-drawn map of Sithesia, drawn in circa 2011 by author. It is a perpertual work in progress, and an official version will be published in due course.
An example of source material: a zoomed-in area of Shoptown. The vast majority of Shoptown is abandoned and not shown (this source material should be treated as a perpetual work in progress. Further, the source material is crudely drawn, so one needs to utilize one’s imagination to bring it to life).Source material binders of the world of Sithesia

Coming of age fantasy author Sever Bronny making progress on book 4 of the Fury of a Rising Dragon series. Spot the miniature Excalibur sword in the focus bonsai!The wind moaned as Augum felt his body suddenly lighten. Had the soldier thrown him? His stomach lurched from the weightless sensation, yet the anticipated crash back to the ground did not come. Lightning burst across the clouds, fanning out like a great spider web, making visible something Augum struggled to make sense of—yellow grass far below him. The ensuing crack of thunder rattled his innards and amplified the nausea.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s only a nightmare, he thought frantically, it’s only a nightmare … yet every subsequent flash confirmed the unbelievable—that he was indeed flying.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then, amidst the spearing flashes, he glimpsed an enormous mass of jagged rock, the top of which disappeared in cloud. The wind increased to a shriek as he hurtled towards the behemoth, slowly losing consciousness from tumbling end over end. With the tunnel of darkness closing in, Augum felt a final searing light illuminate his entire being. A warm glow settled over his heart, and as it faded away, so, too, did he.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —Quote from Arcane (The Arinthian Line, book 1)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The books, as signed below, in the winner’s house.

Early sticky-note plot graph:
Some time after I thought of the idea of the scions and what they looked like, I came across a crystal ball at a thrift store. It was nothing more than a glass globe, about four inches in diameter. Yet it felt so cool and heavy in the palm of my hand. It solidified a fun idea.
