High Overlord Chaos has minions. Lots of them. A whole bushel at least. They are small, round, rather adorable, and — depending on their mood — capable of ending civilizations. Tales from Towerne follows Chaos's Minionry across an omniverse far more dangerous than they are cute. One minute they're bickering over a map; the next they're pinned in the teeth of a primordial dragon's skull, still arguing about whose fault it is. For fans of the tonal whiplash found in Made in Abyss, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Arcane... where the cast is charming and the world absolutely is not. What to expect within Glorious Towerne: Short chapters in "traditional" short stories in a shared world (usually 1,000-1,500 words) New parts manifest Monday through Friday. Genre-spanning: sometimes comfy and cute, other times hearty and adventurous, and other times brutally unhinged. Stupidly overpowered "father" character: forgets often, fights rarely, but the heavens open when he does. Stupidly overpowered antagonist: depressed as hell but bakes a dang-good pie. ...They might be in love. (EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!) Hugely detailed factions at odds with one another - 100+ characters (only a few introduced at a time, though!) Sequel (Sometimes prequel) to The Courts Divided, but reading it is not required to enjoy this series. Can’t wait?
