    Memory has been set free. After unlocking the Archive and allowing forgotten histories to return to the world, Elara Thorne leaves her village behind with only a journal and a purpose: to find the places where silence still rules. Across distant lands, people are beginning to remember-songs long lost, stories buried by time, and truths that powerful institutions once tried to erase. But not everyone welcomes the return of the past. Hidden in the shadows is an ancient order known as the Keepers of Silence, guardians of secrets who believe some memories are too dangerous to exist. As echoes of history awaken across the world, they begin their hunt for the one person responsible. Elara only wanted the truth to live again. Now she must decide how much the world is ready to remember. Because the deeper she travels into forgotten history, the more she begins to uncover a secret so powerful that even the Archive once tried to contain it. And some memories were buried for a reason.

    Twenty-five years after history was changed forever, the world has begun to forget why. Tann has spent six years cataloguing the records of Varennis, convinced that every answer can be found in ink and paper. But when a strange letter, an old phrase, and a compass that has never pointed north begin leading him toward an unnamed place beyond the eastern border, he discovers that not everything can be preserved in an archive. Joined by a reluctant ruler and guided by the voices of those who came before, Tann must decide whether experience is worth trusting when the records have nothing left to say. The Unnamed Shore is a story about memory, discovery, and the places that exist long before anyone gives them a name.

    Long before humans thought they were at the beginning of civilization, there was a world of unimaginable knowledge and power. Cities reached the clouds, machines bent reality, and the very laws of nature were tools in the hands of its people. Then came the War. A force beyond imagination-stronger than nuclear fire-erased nearly everything. Entire civilizations vanished overnight, leaving only fragments of knowledge buried under dust and silence. The few who survived wandered, traumatized and amnesiac, their memories shattered. Humanity rebuilt itself from ignorance, believing it had started from scratch, unaware that the true height of civilization had already existed-and been lost forever. Ashes of the Forgotten is a haunting exploration of forgotten history, human resilience, and the fragility of progress.

Are the machines she builds sacred... or projections of a frightened consciousness yearning for something lost?

What do you do when all you can be is a guinea pig, when that is the only word that can describe you? Would you want to see if you were ever worth more than an expirement? What do you do when the judgements don't ever end? Always there, always a whisper in the ear. Except you want to shout back and can' t? For Maelynn, the island binds more than her.

    Some paths were never lost - they were buried. When I set out on a quiet countryside walk, I expected nothing more than fresh air and a simple geocache. Instead, I found a message. Hidden beneath an old oak tree was the first clue - a fragment of a journal written by Nathaniel William Turner, a man who disappeared without a trace in 1983 while mapping forgotten public footpaths. Curiosity leads me deeper into the rural landscape, following a trail of hidden markers, buried containers, and long-abandoned routes that no longer appear on modern maps. But Turner wasn't just documenting lost paths. He was uncovering something far more dangerous. As the journey unfolds, I discover a hidden network of erased footpaths, illegal quarrying operations, and a secret that powerful people have spent decades trying to keep buried. And I'm not the only one following the trail. With each step north, the truth becomes clearer - and more dangerous. Because some paths don't just lead you forward. They lead you straight into the past... ...and not everyone wants it uncovered.

    This is a character-focused prequel exploring the world before the main story. The world ended quietly. Not with fire or war - but with convenience, control, and loss of hope. Yami lives in what remains. A city where movement is restricted, jobs are assigned, hope is treated as a disease, and the past has been rewritten. Religion teaches that hate is necessary. The Council teaches that obedience is peace. But Yami remembers things he was never meant to know. Raised by foster grandparents who believed in myths, he grew up on stories of a forgotten empress, a world that once held colour, and ruins that refused to stay silent. Now an information broker, hacker, and branded a criminal, Yami simply survives. This is a story of the waiting. Before hope returned. Before the world remembered. Before everything changed.
