WorldEmber 2020 Content and Pledge
Check out the WorldEmber 2020 progress dashboard.
RPG mechanics and encounters do not count towards WorldEmber. As of 1 January these articles have been set private. (Goodbye 18k words!)
Other excluded content include content plans. These have been left as public due to their integral nature in the site, but are tagged worldember-excluded.
Content Roadmap
The current approach to developing content for Zihæt is that needed to support roleplay and the current story season. In Season 1 for example this included background on the religion and leadership for the Holy Empire of Humanité, as well as deep dives into the culture, organizations and areas within the Drákon League, with a focus on Asteriápolis. As Season 2 of the Akadimía Campaign kicks off, we'll be taking advantage of WorldEmber 2020 to kick start development of the Akadimía Season 2 material.Introduction

Good luck to you! Although it seems you got a bunch of stubs ready to be written. I'm not going to lie, the baby dragons pique my interest. :)
Thanks! We just wrapped up the first season with them discovering dragon eggs, so should be a fun season 2.
