The Unseen Cords | Raven & Quill #5
December vanished like a ship slipping into the Vapor Shroud. One moment it was Thanksgiving, and we were launching the site; now, the holidays are half-gone. But looking back at the wake we’ve left behind—the launch of the Saga, the introduction of Krysaalis and Talathis, and now the complex web of Qianna Lockstone —it has been a monumental month.
In this week's issue:
Feature Focus: The Girl Who Sees Strings We step into the mind of Qianna, a character whose "magic" is less about spells and more about survival. She sees the world as a tangle of cords and wires—dissociating from reality to see the connections between people. Her chapter sits like Atlas in the background, quietly holding up the heavy lift of the Saga's lore.
The Architect’s Journal: Echoes of an Old Game Qianna is the first POV character directly inspired by a PC from the TTRPG campaigns that birthed this world. This issue is dedicated to the player who originally breathed life into her.
