Synopsis
The world of Anogwin is fraught with danger. In this world of Elves and Dragons, is in an age where magic-powered technology known as Mystech is commonplace. But this world is far from paradise. Defensive walls are necessary for every city and town because nature and monsters pose a constant threat. The dangerous wilds beyond the walls drive to take back anything civilization has taken, from land to resources. Monsters of all kinds lurk wherever they can find purchase and devour anyone they can catch. In this world of struggle, follow one unfortunate child. Iver is a Darkling, a half-blood with the blood of demons. A sensitive boy who never knew his parents, Iver was raised by a harsh, Wild Elf who had ties to his mother. After witnessing the bloody murder of his adoptive father, the 12-year-old Darkling is forced to live on the streets. Even as his life seemed to be on the cusp of ending any day, Iver kept the embers of dedication lit in his heart. He would hunt down the killer of his father and get his vengeance. Iver soon gets the chance to take the first steps toward reaching his goal when a clan brother of his adoptive father finds him and gives him the offer of a lifetime. Iver joins an academy tied to a secret organization dedicated to changing the corrupt world. For the next year, Iver lives on the academy grounds, nestled in a crater/cave in the heart of a mountain. During his first year at The Aegis Academy of the Grimmalk, Iver will face threats to his life from hostile classmates. He also stumbles into the ability to use a rare and dangerous form of magic. Along the threatening road to graduation, mysteries both about himself and the academy come to the surface, and Iver is forced to make hard choices, even as he makes his very first friends. Can Iver survive the trials ahead? Who and what is he really? Is the Academy and organization really what they claim to be? What is this Blood Myst magic he has found himself bound to?

Chapter 1 - Enter a World Unlike Any Other

Anogwin is a realm incomparable to any other. Here, The Sophic Species, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Dracose, and many other sapient species have pressed innovation to the furthest limits. Magic is now far more than a mysterious force held by a talented few. Circuit boards of quartz, silver, gold, and Mythril are found in millions of different forms of technology. The raw elemental component of magic, Myst, is used to power everything from day-to-day appliances to vehicles, weapons, War Machines, and so much more. Yet in a world of advanced cybernetics, Zero-G cars, and wonders beyond imagining, there is still strife. Racism remains strong, gangs run whole districts of hive cities, monsters roam the wilds, barbarian tribes raid small towns, drug addiction runs rampant through the weak-minded, mega-corporations tread over the impoverished just as the puppet governments, and there is more than one organization operating from the shadows. Tensions are tight between nations across the globe, and the threat of war looms over the horizon. Do you have the strength and wit to thrive in this world?

Author's Note

At the start of each chapter will be a little snippet of world lore that I will try to keep pertinent to the chapter it is attached to. But there will be a couple of chapters where there is no relevant lore that I can provide that has anything to do with the chapter. These chapters will simply be tagged with some random snippet of lore from the world, so don't get confused if the pattern doesn't remain the same throughout the entire book.

Critical Note!!

This world is rather expansive, with a lot of intricacies, details, and moving parts. To help readers out, I've made an encyclopedia website at the following link. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/anogwin-valraven-dreadwood 

This site covers everything. From the magic system to the technology. From nations to natural regions. From profiles of Gods, Titans, Eternals, and Immortals to profiles of characters you'll encounter in my work. From Sophic Species and monsters to common slang used in various nations, examples of monetary currency, and notes on the adventuring field. I try to update the site regularly, but it can be a challenge to juggle it and the books and life, so please be patient.

Currently, if you want a guide to the slang, go to the site, under Maps & Nations, go to Ventic, scroll to the bottom, and click on the link Ventic Common Slang.
