Today is the start of
a new Kickstarter campaign, a small one that will last a dozen days. Yep, just like that, without warning!
Its
core purpose will be to complete the production of the upcoming music
album, Adeliane, and to offer you a physical CD version, as well as a
limited edition vinyl one for music fans. Instead of making Adeliane
available as a preorder via Backerkit, we have chosen to make this
quick Kickstarter campaign in order to get the news out.. The artists
involved have been working on it for several months, and it would be a
shame for their efforts to go unnoticed!
In that regard,
tickets for two concerts are also available through this campaign: one
in England, in June, and one in Germany, in October. We hope to see many of you there! In addition, you can also
preorder a limited edition of the graphic novel Yldiane, which is ready to be printed. Last but not least, this Kickstarter includes
a
new book, halfway between an artbook and a role-playing game sourcebook
that we have been thinking about for some time: Melwan.
Concerning this book:
The
Shadows of Esteren series includes several supplements (The Monastery
of Tuath, The Black Moon Handbook, Occultism…) that explore specific
aspects of its universe. Melwan’s focus is the eponymous vale from which
Adeliane and her sister Yldiane hail. This hardcover artbook of about
60 pages is written from the perspective of an in-universe character,
just like how the Black Moon Handbook was written by Steren Slaine.
Here, the author is Neala, a shepherdess and Caernide breeder from
Melwan. She talks about Yldiane (through a CYOA-like story), describes
Melwan and the surrounding vale (which takes the shape of a game aid
dedicated to the region’s noteworthy locations, personalities, and
flora), and covers the local fauna, as well as more unusual creatures
(in the form of a bestiary).

Meanwhile, we are still working on Dearg; Volume 1 is almost complete!
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts for your staunch support. With your
help, we can keep going further and, year after year, go on with giving
our all and making this series the best it can be.
