The Royal Protector

So excited to reveal the cover to my new book today, The Wisdom of Emperors! You can check it out on Kickstarter, along with the full summary!

Inspired by the story of the Ancient Roman emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous, The Wisdom of Emperors is a second-world adult fantasy novel written in the style of a fictional academic text. It documents the translation and study of a world-changing artifact discovered in an archaeological dig: a manuscript which provides the clues to finally unravel the mysteries surrounding one of the most famous emperors of the ancient world. 

The Kickstarter campaign is for the deluxe collector's edition, but you'll be able to preorder the standard hardback/paperback, PLUS the early-access ebook, available to backers well before general publication to everyone else. And there's going to be some really, REALLY cool merch as well (genuine papyrus bookmarks, designed and blockprinted by my own hands!)

Jessamine Kaldwin's First Royal Protector

you ever make a fan character and it's just a horse. because i have !!!

ok lets go

in dishonoredverse, horses are somehow an evolutionary offshoot of whales and they eat small children and pets if left unsupervised

normal horses also exist in the world and get brought from outside bc theyre Fashionable but the Dunwall Draft, also known as the Dunwall Waterhorse, is a beast as dangerous as it is beloved as a symbol of the city

their hooves can split open and have a webbed membrane between them, making them excellent swimmers and capable of navigating dunwall's boggy shores with ease

it was traditionally used as a beast of burden and to pull carriages until the invention of refined whale oil and oil-powered carriages

they eat krusts for fun, with their teeth shaped into a beak form+enough bite force to crack that shit open. dunwallers have not yet figured out how to make them do this on command.

they are such wild animals even when tamed that equestrianship is not an expected skillset for any nobility to really have
