Hearth Corner-Stone (Umbakian Construction)
Posted on July 21, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Hearth Corner-Stone is a Hallmark of Umbakian Architecture/Construction. Every room in an Umbakian construction contains a hearthstone carving. As it is the embodiment of their faith and culture, it is ever present in their building. In all rooms and corridors, a bas-relief carving of a hearth facade is added- It is a place of nationalist and faith observance – a constant reminder of the structure and order that ensures the shape of their lives and afterlife. The health, happiness, and success of both their physical and spiritual existence.
- The hearthstone is not meant for adornment, and only for personalization within meditation or sleeping chambers belonging to a specific individual.
- Decoration is through painting only, and each building or compound will generally have a uniformity of decoration that is a signature to the location and not personal.
- These are all uniform in size – at least within the same building.
- They are not uniform in placement – each room’s placement is appropriate to its function and efficiency of internal organization.
- These all are at ground level.

Role of kauket – veil of tears
A shadow in the valley of sighs spews forth a new entity
Semazen the void-born strapped there – children of the unholy trio gave bith to
Court of shadow fiends; initial chieftans of the dark spawn,
Summoned light Haerbinger first, announced the others spirits When cy amgels summoned
Convention of radiance virtue
Sun bane enacted
Court of shadow grant true dark vision
affray

Hares Dream
Posted on July 10, 2026
The Hares Dream is a phenomenon of sleeping on or near areas of the ‘Albocris Estate‘. In it, the character perceives the world as though they were a hare where they are. Night or day, predators are constantly being perceived around them. They run as fast as they can, legs pumping, breathing ragged and heart rate through the roof. Their thoughts are filled with nothing more than survival, panic, and terror. It goes on and on.
