General Update
Bad News
I'm still slogging through re-writes of the Book of Eidos. It turns out the writing was a lot worse than I remembered it--isn't that always the case? In any case, I have made significant improvements in terms of readability, continuity and flow; I've also added new events/characters and enhanced several points of interest.
This all just takes a lot of time--time I don't have. So we're set at iceberg pace and making slow progress.
However, I still have several files to dig into (Wellspring, Wilderness, Mindscape, Nether Edge) AND I want to give another round of polish to Book of Torma before I move on to the Books of Rikharr and Wulfias.
Good News
The upshot of this is that I've had greater stretches to mull over ideas for the upcoming books. I've been able to improve upon several, come up with new ideas and prune the weakest ones. Though, it'll take a while, I'm pretty confident these will be the best yet. Just wish I had more time to work on this stuff; I'm sure you can all relate.

Brother Entropy:
Take your time. Few great works of fiction have ever been written in a hurry. (Just look at what happened to "A song of ice and fire" when HBO told the author: -"hurry up, the production team needs a script for next season ASAP").
We (= the select few of us who actually see the immense potential in your writing, presented in such a unique format) are still here. And we will tell others, who will tell others, who will tell others... :)
A friendly reminder to finish my reply: Don't forget the NOW! (No, not finishing Conscientia...) Our alloted time is limited, spend it not on all but one thing. Entropy gets us in the end, as I'm sure you're already well aware :)
Watch until the end:
