Hello, fellow Anvilites!   My name is Jeremy Unitt, and I joined this site mid-2019 to help work on my creative ventures and attempt to organize decades of work, starting from content I began to produce around 2002, into a sustainable business and creative endeavor. My passions for creativity found focus in various fields, and I've been creating numerous worlds for as long as I can remember.   Around 2014 I got into a life situation that cost me dearly. And though I'm still around to show that even the hardest moments can achieve mastery with a little help and a little focus, I can't forget that I almost gave up this effort entirely. For years it took a lot just to get back into the drive.   When I moved and settled into my place in 2018, I started feeling the drive to start my work in full. And I've been doing my best to compile and exercise my creative desires as best I can! It wasn't straightforward to do so working at my job at the time, but ideas continued formation, and I dutifully wrote them down, hoping to one day fill this page with all my desires and works that gathered over two decades of development.   Then mid-March of 2020, the pandemic was announced. Shortly after, I received instruction I wouldn't be able to work at my job at the time to help flatten the curve, I have been home since, trying my very best to begin the steady process of publicizing and preparing my content for the public. I've opened a Patreon, a Ko-fi, and was working on developing a few tools to spread my work far and wide.   Then May 25th, George Floyd was killed on the streets of Minneapolis, and I no longer felt like I could just sit back and do things for myself anymore. As it stands, the Essalim Collate, and it's design efforts by myself is going to simultaneously work to broadcast the voices ignored for so long, via my creative endeavors and the content I've designed.   I aim to develop a creative industry where the fear of speaking up will not be a problem, and the ability to do so will exist in the form of the original worldbuilding development itself. A desire to promote open dialogue while exploring the many themes of fictional media in the world is my mission. I hope that anyone learning about this project for the first time will understand everything I do is with the intent to spread Love as best as I can!   I'm not perfect, I know I've made my mistakes, but worldbuilding has been a constant for me for as long as I can remember. And one day, I hope that this work I've done will help push the future in a better direction than it has been, for our sakes and the sakes of the upcoming generations that will follow us!   Feel free to ask me questions at any time, I'm very talkative and love to be able to share my designs and motivations behind it!

Of once was

by Griffin

Born long past the glory of the elven nation, I can only rely on the stories that were told by my elders who longingly gazed at the Loft and the shores of the Source.
 
I remember sitting in rapture as they spoke of the days where they defended our lands with such zeal and enjoyed the company of each other, full of laughter, dance, and celebration. The name of the palace where they enjoyed the greatest of life's comforts was known as the Grand Cosmos, a representative of the most splendid elven craftsmanship in history. This glorious hall was both named for the envy it caused the heavens as well as the vibrant violet flowers that graced its gardens. I wish I could visit, but the palace fell, abandoned in the wake of the Light's oncoming waves. Due to this, rumors say the ruins currently find themselves occupied by all manner of Sin Eater or wild beasts, former glory lost in the departure of the elves after the king lost authority in the civil war. Perhaps after I slay Tudur, I can one day take Lowri to see this storied magnificence, to see the work of our ancestors and the memory of those that we fight. Such a place sounds lovely to explore. But this longing might distract me and cause me to slip. As much as I wish to see these places of eld, I must remain focused on my intent to strike the heart of Nightshade. I think, at least, I want to that consider such a place of radiant beauty that represents what the elves can truly accomplish together will push the goal to rout the evil that binds us.

The major events and journals in Griffin's history, from the beginning to today.

Of once was

Born long past the glory of the elven nation, I can only rely on the stories that were told by my elders who longingly gazed at the Loft and the shores of the Source. I remember sitting in rapture as they spoke of the days where they defended our land...

Turning the tides

The plan developed over several periods of long tactical preparation is now into action. I've made contact with Lowri via messenger hawk, the message of my motives sent to her reception, and access to being able to contact assistance. It was a few days ag...

Shadows deep

I chose to continue my progression among the members of Nightshade, intent on uncovering the core of the corruption. It took some time for them to trust me, of course, but 'twas simple to match the zeal of the members. Following the lines of who they paid...

12:08 am - 08.09.2020

Realization

Nightshade's attractiveness lies in the fact that it is action, an effort organized for and behalf of the elven people. My people. From experience and thought on the motivations that don't make any sense, such as the smuggling rings, one learns that it is...

04:04 pm - 07.09.2020

The nail in the coffin

When I made the pact with Nightshade, I knew I intended my membership to demonstrate a desire to protect. I knew that I was taking that step to be able to secure the safety of my people. I don't have many people I can call family. How can I? The Light rob...

04:19 am - 06.09.2020

Sharpened tooth, sharper mettle

The tension in the air was unmistakably noticeable as members of Nightshade ran to and fro in their hidden passageways. Arms and armor to account for, magical accessories in need of documentation, this and many more tasks were at hand to accomplish to pre...

03:58 am - 04.09.2020

A chance at compromise

It's been a few days since my best friend and I have spoke. I've never been accustomed to the cold shoulder, and to receive such a response from the person I trusted above all others twas an experience I struggled to endure. I have to find a way to show h...

06:08 pm - 03.09.2020

Did I make the right choice?

I find it a little bit strange to write the two dominant things on my mind right now. The first, as ever, was my choice to formalize my membership within the Nightshade. Ever their discussions reach the ears of my kin, and for most harried left and right ...
