Write stories, forge worlds.
Discussions with Citrus last night, which yielded in a second and more focused draft-basis for Canan path, also reminded me that all my writings have left out a critical element - the relationship and structural balance between the three primary members of the TIP Heirs: Exelar, Aoric, and Lothair.

The title makes it pretty simple and straightforward. This will be a draft for key decision and branching points within the Aorin heroine path within The Imperium Project storyline.

Well due to having to finish the ridiculously long Penthiae Arc draft and having to deal with my D&D game, this didn’t come out anywhere as fast as I scheduled. But, it’s done, it’s here, and sadly it’s still a rough draft.

The Penthiae Arc is the third chapter of the TIP story. After some debate, I have decided to also make it the final arc. This means that the Chroma Arc (4th) and Second Penthiae Arc (5th) will be removed altogether. The reason why? because the elimination of two arcs drastically reduces the amount of resources required to finish such a project.
Besides, one could always write a sequel later. =)
The Penthiae Arc will take place some time after Exelar’s coronation and the Imperial Proclamation, maybe by about a week or so. However in terms of the player’s perspective, the time gap is negligible, as it should follow right after the last scene of the Astraea Arc.

After Honya has agreed to take upon the design of the Sofiya path, I’m merely responsible the Aorin path now. This is a good thing since I’ve been far too lazy this week (darn you Brawl!) and procrastinated too much for the deadline today.
I should note however that one of the ideas I’m fooling around with is that Aorin’s scenes will not only be limited to her own path, but many of them may be selected even during the other paths (up to the First Sword scene), although his exact lines and thoughts will differ.

Next on the storyline draft is the second chapter of the story - the Astraea Arc. This arc is pretty simple in general planning, since it evolves very few main events, although I expect a large number of the scenes (including path scenes) to take place here. There are two main objective during the Astraea Arc:

This is a preliminary storyline for the first stages of The Imperium Project. The focus of these earlier drafts will be on main events, battles, and key scenes/decision-points, although ideas for supporting scenes can be thrown in.

This should probably have been done first, but I’ve been putting it off due to laziness and the desire to get other parts of the project going. But now, I may proudly introduce the Overview of the Imperium Project, the foundation of the storyline for this game-to-be.
