The Bellweather is not a predator. Its danger is almost entirely situational.
Three forearms where one should be. Brass bells that can detonate at close range when it is pushed past what it can absorb. A chest broadcasting weather advisories at increasing volume before something arrives.
It uses none of this willingly. Bell detonation distresses it. The aftermath is visible.
The genuine threat is mistaking a warning for an attack.

A Post Apocalyptic Siren’s Song
A soft humming rode the wind—strange, yet familiar. The tune teased his memory, as if it had followed him since childhood. He had never seen a person—or any creature—linked to the sound. For years, he dismissed it as a sound from the old power lines, long abandoned in this changed world. But today, the humming was different. There was a proper voice associated with it, if only he could find where that voice was coming from. He moved like a shadow through ruins he’d never dared to […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/a-post-apocalyptic-sirens-song/

Tallasin – Setting für Gassenhunde und andere Urban Fantasy jetzt als Download
Was lange währt: Wir haben ein ganz besonderes Projekt abgeschlossen. Eines mit vielen Beteiligten, Ideen und Reiterationen. Und nun ist es da. Einfach so. Runterladen, aufmachen, reinwerfen in die eigene Runde und gucken, was passiert:
Das Setting „Tallasin – Stadt der Tränen“ ist ab sofort kostenlos als PDF verfügbar!
Mit supercoolem Layout von Kiki!Eine Stadt, die dich zerkaut und ausspuckt
Tallasin ist als Setting für das Rollenspiel Gassenhunde konzipiert. So wie das Spiel selbst, ist das Setting also mehr oder weniger Cyberpunk – aber in Fantasy. Aufmerksame Leser des kritischen Fehlschlags dürften auch mitbekommen haben, dass seit einigen Wochen die Novelle Dreckstag als Download verfügbar ist. Dreckstag spielt in Tallasin und ist damit quasi direkt eine prosaische Ergänzung.
Tallasin ist eine Stadt, die um eine gefangene Göttin herumgebaut wurde. Um die Macht dieser Göttin für sich allein zu besitzen, hat die Oberschicht den inneren Ring zur Festung ausgebaut und alles andere sich selbst und dem Chaos überlassen. Jedes Stadtviertel ging mit dieser neuen Führungslosigkeit anders um.
Systemneutrale Story-Engine
Eigentlich wollten wir Tallasin viel stärker mit dem Spiel Gassenhunde verzahnen. Im Entstehungsprozess kristallisierte sich heraus, dass es genauso gut systemneutral funktioniert. Also ist es das jetzt. Wenn du also mal ein hochkompaktes Fantasy-Setting mit Dutzenden von Story-Hooks und Fraktionen brauchst: schau mal bei Tallasin rein.
Das war nämlich das Designziel: minimale Prosa, maximale Spielbarkeit.
Tallasin und die Stadtkarte gedruckt? Jetzt bestellen!
Das Setting und die zugehörige Stadtkarte (gemalt von Frau Knurrkater) wird es auch in einer kleinen Auflage gedruckt werden. Und diesmal gibt es was Neues: Je mehr Leute bestellen, desto günstiger wird es.
HIER zur Vorbestellung
Also bitte besorgt euch, all euren Freunden und euren Familien jetzt eine Ausgabe von Tallasin!Denn wenn ihr Interesse an einer dreckigen Stadt voller Geschichten habt, dann ist Tallasin vielleicht genau das richtige für euch.
Immer dreckig bleiben,

The connections between the two series will not be made explicit in either set of books for a long time.
But they exist.
Theories on what the bridge is?

You have read their words. You did not know it was them.
When you do know, you will go back through every issue and find them.
That is the long game.

Drabble: Witch’s Moon
Once upon a moonlit night, when shadows followed close, I took a wander around my home. Sheltered under the bright full moon’s light, I saw as the world slumbered on. As I traveled owls flew by on whispered wings. And from time to time, a caterwaul, as hunting cats crossed paths. I am but a small sprite, not one to shy away from my curiosity. My favorite place is this lovely farm, the orchard with apples ready for cider. I will try to sneak one or two home after tonight’s celebrations […]https://ceriashwardauthor.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/drabble-witchs-moon/

Did a little #WorldBuilding tonight. Wasn’t up for much else. But I did roll up a new grid, which features a creature I’ve never heard of: Deathwatch Beetle from 2nd ed. Man, they are savage. 9HD and they have a sound attack which is save or die.

"Im Weltraum hört dich niemand schreien."
Das Zitat meint oft Isolation ohne Hoffnung auf "gehört werden". In der Trainings-Szene aus "Novi Fines" ist die Abwesenheit externer Hilfe die Motivation für die Gruppe. Es braucht Willen und Struktur, um die Situation zu meistern. Autorität ist hier ein Werkzeug des Überlebens.#HardSF #Ethik #Worldbuilding #Bookstodon #buchstodon #RandomtextRyek

The Last Rotation Sentinel does not malfunction. It does not panic. It does not rage.
Its behavior shifts with its remaining Tension - from precise, anticipatory interception at full reserve to quiet, total dedication to defense at the end.
At every stage it speaks clearly. It remembers everything. Only its mechanical potential shortens.
That's the tragedy.

What is your character's relationship to art? Do they take time to experience it? Maybe give it a glance when they encounter it? What forms of art exist in your world?

Rhea Vale's Phoenix has died with her hundreds of times.
By Year Seven, the Phoenix had more memory of Vehl's Reach than most Spectralites had of their own lives.
Some of those memories are the ones the city would prefer remained classified.

Zuletzt beendetes Buch: #MagusOfTheLibrary 3 von #MitsuIzumi - Wieder sehr fein. Hier geht es um die Prüfungen auf dem Weg zur Zulassung zur Kafna Ausbildung, etwas was auch an der MSM, Almakan oder Manablanda funktionieren würde. Für keine sind bisher Aufnahmeprüfungen beschrieben. Besonders gefiel mir die Idee der sechs grundlegenden Texte. #Manga #Fantasyromane #Comics #Worldbuilding

It knows things it has never said.
It files records the city would prefer it did not file.
What do you think it is actually archiving for?

I've been wondering, would you like to see my #worldbuilding process for Langort?
A lot of #stories have been made and they are slowly getting integrated with the #game, but the #world is a standalone thing, since I plan to use it for my future games too.

OUTPOST LOG 010 is live.
The Last Rotation Sentinel doesn't malfunction. It doesn't panic. It simply continues — until it can't.
Every self-wind costs it something permanent. It knows this. It does it anyway.

Nations of Cobrin’Seil: Foh-lah Rah-Jah-Pha-Urd
There is a timeline of empires on Bidestra. There was the First Elves' attempts to own it; there was the Tiefling Empire, if you believe in it. There was the empire of Fuszaint, the most recent one, in its miserable decline. But before Fuszaint, there was the first great Human Empire, the empire of the creatures known now as Ogres, Ogre-Magi, Hags and their ilk; it was the Empire of the Urd. What it was, though, is not as important as what remains of its greatest seat, its capital, its palaces; for they are gone now, torn apart by nature itself, stripped of its identity, and returned in safe pieces to the loam that they once polluted. This is what remains. This is the land that outlasts empires, the trees that do not need anyone to speak for them, and the great regrowing that must be done to restore the scarred land. This is Foh-Lah Rah-Jah-Pha-Urd. […]https://cobrinseil.invincible.ink/nations-of-cobrinseil-foh-lah-rah-jah-pha-urd/
