Work on the Spires of Arkhau is currently in progress. It’s shaping up as a harsh, mountainous region with signs of hidden activity beneath the surface. There are indications of structured mining systems and something more organized than simple excavation, but I’m keeping the deeper details for the book itself.
This one’s been fun to shape, both in terms of writing and how it sits visually on the page. I’m also continuing to commission monster illustrations, so you’ll see more of the bestiary taking form alongside the locations.
On the design side, I’m actively building the class layouts and locking in some of the book’s pages. It’s starting to look like an actual book now instead of separate pieces, which is a big step forward.
I’ve added a few of the illustrations I currently have so you can get a better sense of how everything is coming together. Here are some sketches that once refined and fully drawn will be featured on the Spires of Arkhau "reports/archives" in the book:
