This post is nearly late, and for that I apologize. I ended up biting off a bit more than I could chew between the A-Z Challenge, Camp NaNo, unexpected real life complications (really, when are those ever expected?), and this.

Stopping by for the first time for the A-Z Challenge? Read a short intro to the A-Zs of Worldbuilding here! Time is relative. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.
