Map after Extermination 8-3

Right, the map that was promised. The Imperium has abandoned Corespur to Slaanesh, retrenching itself in Zel'harst and the Port of Lost Souls. Xelian being quite dead now, the last three realms in beige have been seized by the remaining Craftworld armies, which joyously use the Drukhari population as cannon fodder against the humans and/or the daemonettes.

Old City, courtesy of the Queen of Blades has few things living in it anymore. Vect dealt the fatal blows to Low Commorragh and Sec ...

Extermination 8-3 Update 03 April 2020

Servants of the False-Emperor! Rejoice for Nurgle's victory is unavoidable! Embrace the epidemic and-

BLAM!

Your attention please. Public order on this planet will be restored very soon, by order of His Most Holy Majesty's Inquisition. Please stay in confinement while the Imperial Guard and the Living Saint eliminates the heretics who dare sully with their presence this world.

Any attempt to resist will be met with overwhelming force.

The Emperor protects.

Weaver Option Update 31 March 2020

A larger section of the chapter I'm busy writing, for the last update of this month of March 2020. The schedule holds, so the complete chapter should be finished by April 5...hopefully.

I hope the last POV will satisfy the curiosity of some readers as to what happens when a certain someone finally decides to fight seriously...

The Temple of Plants

It is a bit late in the month, but here is the corrected version of Chapter 68 for The Odds were never in my favour. I will post it tomorrow on ff.net.

Oh and work continues on the Weaver Option. I've definitely reached the half of the chapter...which is a relief, since I've passed the 20000 mark.

Weaver Option Teaser 26 March 2020

This teaser has the first 5000 words of the next chapter of the Extermination Arc. It answers a critical question: have the Black Templars remembered something worthwhile from Taylor's conversation after the Battle of the Death Star? It will also begin to lay down the issue 'will they learn the good lessons of the Battle of Commorragh?'

This part is the last light in the darkness. The escalation is going out of control, and from then the title of the chapter is going to be incredibly ju...

Hell or Commorragh

It took a lot of work, but at long last the chapter is finally completed. Of course that means I am going to have to work on another one...ah, well.

Enjoy!

Draconic Surprises

This is chapter 31 of the Dance is not Over. I have completed it as per schedule.

Concerning the other stories, I have decided to return to the Weaver Option, though in one day or two says the beta should be back (international context has been hell on the plans of a lot of people) and it will take me one or two day to correct it.

But at the latest by Monday, I will have posted Extermination 8-2 and Extermination 8-3 will be started...and I have a lot of terrible and brilliant ide...

Map after Extermination 8-2

The situation in the Commorragh War Zone by the end of Hell or Commorragh. The sub-realms which have fallen to Slaanesh forces are in pink-purple.

As Dynast Kraillach and Yllithian are a bit unable to give commands, their two Dynasties' positions have collapsed.

However, the red colour is very misleading. Many forces are obeying only Xelian because there's no good alternative, and Utar'ragh is also under heavy Imperial assault.

Black is now for Vect forces (save Aelindrach w...

Extermination 8-2 unbetaed

Okay, here is the new chapter of the Weaver Option. As usual, no spoilers on the discussion threads until the betas have completed their work. Which promises to take a while, with this chapter being 43000 words long.

This is the tale of a battle fought in the lair of the Drukhari slavers.

This is the story of continual Escalation.

There is only the screams of dying xenos and the shrieks of anger of evil gods.

This is Hell or Commorragh.

Weaver Option Update 27 February 2020

This update gives you, dear readers, the 20000 first words of Extermination 8-2. Writing is progressing well, I think I will have finished it in...roughly a week. My thoughts this was probably going to be the biggest chapter to date appear to have been fully confirmed. 

Please note the escalation continue...and the war for Commorragh begin to take even more catastrophic proportions...

Enjoy!

Weaver Option Teaser 23 February 2020

I've been able to advance well in three days, therefore there's a weekend teaser of 3000 words to reward all the patrons!

Of course I'm still very far, far from completion. As I mentioned yesterday, I have the structure of the chapter played out, and plenty of writing ahead of me. I'm close to 10000 words now, and I can say have reached a third of the final destination...well nothing but charge into the breach, I guess. The Emperor Protects!

The Port of Lost Souls

I've spent most of the day (with a rest when there was some biathlon on TV) but Extermination 8-1 The Port of Lost Souls is at last complete and fully corrected. It will be posted in a few hours on the other websites.

I will begin writing the next chapter on Friday I think, the time to finish some writing on Harry Potter, answer all the reviews and of course dealing with all sort of real life stuff...

Map of War Zone Commorragh after Extermination 8-1

Trevayne has finished correcting the last chapter, and I hope Thanathos will send me his part of the betaing soon. 

So waiting for the final draft, the map of Commorragh 80 hours before the Mark of Commorragh. Port Carmine has been incinerated, the outer defences of the Dark City have fallen. Plenty of tunnel-gates have also been disabled or exploded.

Extermination Update 07 February 2020

Fair warning, this chapter is...extremely violent. The Battle of Commorragh has come, and no side is interested in offering quarter. Plus the Port of Lost Souls is, for all intent and purposes, a slaver port where most of the Dark Eldar are busy torturing and enjoying the suffering of billions.

The Webway is at war. And Taylor and the forces of Operation Caribbean have thrown the gauntlet.

Pray the God-Emperor and go to the battle-stations.

Commorragh must burn...

As Mordart noticed, I kept the wrong legend for the Iron Sector, so here is the map with the correct allegiances, with the Sectors nominally sworn to Aegon in red, and the yellow ones serving King Joffrey.

Weaver Option Update 01 February 2019

As promised, I have a proper update for my lovely readers. These are the first 13000+ words of Extermination 8-1 The Port of Lost Souls. I am a bit more advanced than that in my writing of course (18000 words), but one might say this should be at least...let's say 35-40% of the final (unbetaed) chapter. 

Fair warning: it begins in violence, and ends in violence. There is no peace in Commorragh, only an eternity of carnage, and the endless bark of the macro-cannons...

There will be a few more maps in the next days to illustrate the situation in the Vale and Reach Sector.
