Wasn't holding, was having a busy couple weeks.

That couple of busy weeks has turned into a couple of busy months. Unfortunately I won't be able to get back to writing anything till after the 21st.

[skaraher]

I guess it's that time of the year for :

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

It's a crazy world right now. The dude has given us years of entertainment, so I'm grateful whether he updates or not. Especially since he hasn't nuked his account and taken his works down with it like others have.

I just hope the guy hasn't met the isekai truck and is still alive and kicking somewhere.

 

[BlizzardStockholmSyndrome]

Dude was the reason I started lurking and his comeback was the reason I made an account. Love you treave (no homo).

 

[ItsChon]

Has he gone missing like this before?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Has he gone missing like this before?

Yeah

 

[treave]

Still alive, but barely. Between work issues, family issues, sickness and the world generally going to hell in a handbasket, it's been real tough to get back to this place.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue this, and I'm not able to promise any regularity with updates unless I lose my job and get a whole lot of free time starting tomorrow... so for anyone still interested in the setting I can go ahead do a lore dump from my existing notes and Q&As, spoilers, the whole lot.

And I suppose at least this isn't some relative logging into my account informing you guys I'm dead so at least there's that.

Glad to hear you're still alive! Hope things look up for you in the future and one day we'll get a chance to experience more of your great work.

I missed this since it’s a bit annoying to log in with the new authenticator thing so I don’t check in and see the notifications as easily. But if you’re still around, what’s the deal with Rain’s mystery and that of Urudimmu? Was there any point we made a choice where you went dang that’s gonna make it hard to write moving forward like with the low int or something? Were any of the characters in the early part to be present in the time skip?

 

[Torus]

A bit sad to get the lore dump since it means it's completely over. But yeah I'm interested too even though I've just been lurking the story.

Re: Rain and Urudimmu

To keep things simple, Rain can be considered the last descendant of the former administrators of the Tower, though for various reasons their people have been mostly locked out of its functions by the time the Tower appeared on Earth some 75,000 years ago. The Tower itself was originally intended as an ark of sorts, but in crossing time and space it inadvertently became a conduit to other dimensions. Urudimmu as well as his brethren are from one such dimension. As to whether or not these otherworldly dimensions were the source of religion and myth, or if they were influenced by the collective id of humanity, is something I hadn't decided on yet one way or another.

Was there any point we made a choice where you went dang that’s gonna make it hard to write moving forward like with the low int or something?

Not at all. Sadly, I struggled more with my schedule and inability to update more than anything else.

Were any of the characters in the early part to be present in the time skip?

Definitely. I toyed with the idea of making Sophie a maid for the residence assigned to von Falkenhayn initially, but decided to let her be a Hunter instead. As an aside, the maid was instead going to be the sweetheart of one of the men who died under Falkenhayn's command.

Someone messed up and forgot the passcode… what was her mom trying to do that led to her getting wasted by that beast? What was she trying to say to us as her last words? Did Rain have a “real” name, and- as a descendant of these administrators, would she or any organs she spared to some cultist have had particularly keen capabilities within the Tower? Or just pointy ears and a lot of grief for her.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Or just pointy ears and a lot of grief for her.

The fate of all elves.
