The Realm of Qal'ath began simply as one concept...a "what if?" moment. It was followed by me restarting drawing after a decade or more of neglect. Ideas and drawing led to maps, which led me to start the Chronicles. Welcome to the Realm, with conflicted interests, social divides and distorted histories - with a predicted oncoming disaster. But in the shadows, light, humour and loyal friends still flourish to help weather the storms.
     

Hey, my writing alias is FJ Brodie and, although I've been on WA for a number of years, I've only recently change my username to match.   I am a Dad of one and Husband of one, with chronic illnesses of two (ish). When my pain levels became too great to hold down a 'normal' job, I had to try and find other ways of supporting my family.   But first I had to adjust to the life changes, and I rediscovered drawing and writing.   So, a few years ago, a concept for a new world came into my head from a simple "what if?" question. A few years later, having written quite a lot, failed to get traditionally published, I am still writing.   I've taken the step of opening up Ko-Fi and Patreon to supporters and those that have I am truly grateful for.   Escaping to the Erdàn Savànii is a helpful coping mechanism for me, regardless. I just hope some of yous also enjoy my creations.   May the Elements Protect You
