The Pillars of Kardo: Bureaucracy as World-building
At its center are the Pillars of Kardo, a system of institutions that govern not through armies or edicts carved in stone, but through resonance itself.
Notes, lore, and behind-the-scenes explorations into the worlds I’m building. From the shifting cityscapes of Arallu to the fragile edges of reality in The Woven Edge, this tag collects essays, concept sketches, and fragments of the creative process. Expect maps, themes, and deep dives into speculative fiction craft.
