#tree series

The cast isn’t changing! We’re still keeping Ash, Zach, Satan, everybody you might have grown attached to. 

What IS changing is that we’re no longer telling the story of their work for an organization in NYC that hides the existence of nonhuman creatures from humanity and protects them.

Instead, we are telling their story in the world of Lanithon. Lanithon is one giant continent, divided into countries that are home to different races. More on that later.

More specifically, the city of Vanithea! Vanithea is a capital city, if not capital of the entire continent, and home to the Auxiliaries. What were previously different floors of the TREE building are now different districts of the city. So you’ve got your oceanic district, your fae district, etc.

The Auxiliaries are the peacekeeping organization of Vanithea, and the thing I’m changing TREE into so Ash and Zach can still have jobs helping fantasy creatures solve their problems.

Their backstories are changing a bit, too! The TLDR is that Ash’s parents were famous explorers who disappeared and she’s lived in the city with Gran ever since, while Zach is a hick farm boy adjusting to big city life.

- WHAT?

SEVEN BOOKS! That structure isn’t changing! The order changed a little bit, though, so have some alliterative titles and one-sentence summaries.

Satan’s Secretary: When a demonic envoy arrives in Vanithea for the first time ever, Ash Gentum lands a job as Satan’s right hand advisor.

Disappearing Dwarves: Serial disappearances lead Ash, Zach, and Satan to investigate any troubles happening in the neighboring dwarven country.

Pixie Plague: When Fae folk inadvertently spread an airborne toxin throughout Lanithon that leaves humans one of the only races unaffected, it’s up to Ash and Zach to find a cure before it’s too late.

Fiery Frenzy: A hybrid dragon that shouldn’t exist attacks Vanithea, killing hundreds and pushing Ash and Zach to get to the bottom of this.

Oceanic Odyssey: Still recovering from the attack, Ash and Zach set out to consult the merfolk that live near a local ring of undersea volcanoes.

Gathering Griffins: Barely home from the sea, Ash and Zach return to Vanithea to hear that a griffin stronghold has been attacked and they are needed to accompany the diplomacy team up into the mountains.

Unicorn Uprising: The existence of a hybrid dragon and the tragedies of the recent years awaken the unicorns, who leave their magic sanctuary in order to lead the final battle to restore balance to Lanithon yet again.

- GOING FORWARD?

Character tags and inspo tags are staying the same, but I’m abandoning tree series in favor of a new tag, lore series. 

New moodboards, new maps, new names, and new character info coming soon!

I’m leaving the WIP Page for TREE Series up, but only as a relic, a monument to the past, etc. There will be an entirely new one set up for the LORE Series as a whole, and I will be reworking the individual book pages to accurately reflect these changes over the coming days!

I will be using the TREE Series taglist as the LORE Series taglist, so if the things I’ve outlined here don’t sound like your cup of tea anymore, be sure to let me know. Or if this stuff does sound like your cup of tea now, let me know that, too, and I’ll add you!
