Here are the basic details and synopses of the working plots set within Felas. The sidebar links will lead you to further details, such as characters and setting pages - but don't expect me to spoil the entire story, I may want to actually do something with them one day! These are going to be like what you'd find on the back of the book, the setup and all that. None of the stories have working titles, so they will be listed under temporary names. Once I have ideas for titles, I'll update them on the site.

The years I'll be using for this page are not the dates within the stories, instead an "out of lore" dating system I use to keep everything organized. Year 0 marks a major event known as the Winter Attacks, a multi-country attack in Ussiar, fueled by imperialism and supremacy. One of the plots takes place during the Winter Attacks, where details of the event will be written. "PW" stands for "Previous Winters", while W stands for "Winters" since the event.

Antis is a prince of Valkovas, a city built from the remains of ancient underground tunnels. His older sisters, twins Egita and Zanna, have always butted heads due to Egita's jealousy over Zanna for being ten minutes older and thus the true heir to the city. From a young age, it fell upon Antis to be his sisters' mediator. After their father passes and Zanna is to be crowned Queen, Egita attempts a coup to take the throne for herself. After it fails, she flees from the city and disappears for seven years. During those seven years, Zanna falls into paranoia and Antis is forced to act as figurehead of the city when she is too afraid to leave the palace.

Being a co-ruler is more responsibility than Antis wanted, and it only gets more complicated when he discovers a long-hidden secret deep within the Outer Tunnels outside Valkovas' limits.

Makona is a noblewoman from the northern state of Sinha, one of the few states in the subarctic regions of Namrok that have joined the rise of international trade. Sinha is a strict and oppressive state, one where Makona's worth comes from her ability to have children for her family. For her entire life, Makona has hated her place in society and longed for something more. After hearing about a new sponsorship program hosted by the southern Atrian Empire that would allow her to travel across the seas to Ussiar and start a new life, she makes it her goal to finally leave Sinha's control - even if it means leaving everything she's ever known behind.

Through the sponsorship, she travels to Ussiar, to the state of [Name Pending]. She meets Kyran, her eryla host, and begins to rebuild her life within the village of Nehode. But it isn't as simple as she'd hope, with tensions rising between the Atrian Empire and the native erylai who are pushing back against its influence and expansion. It's only a matter of time before things reach a breaking point.

The Winter Attacks are a response from the Empire and its allies, hiring anyone with hatred for the erylai to rampage across the country and "subdue" anyone they come across. Makona finds herself caught within the chaos.

Tashka is a yoi who grew up in unfortunate circumstances within the capitol of Olprugo, the Empire-controlled state on Danarsi. After her father is murdered and authorities never attempt to find out what happened, her mother spirals into depression until finally Tashka runs away from home. While living on the streets, she's found by one of the most powerful men in Olprugo, the viceroy for the Empire and guildmaster of one of the most elite (and secretice) assassin guild in the world. Tashka is raised into the guild, given a wealthy and comfortable life but a miserable one at the same time. Her only friend is Kadin, a khokl in similar circumstances, and they act as each other's light in the darkness.

After Kadin is seemingly killed in an accident during a mission gone wrong, Tashka tries to retire from the guild to make an honest living for herself. The guildmaster, her "father", refuses to let her go that easily; she's given paychecks while she attempts to find a new job, but every month the amount shrinks until she's struggling to keep herself fed. Finding a job is near impossible for her as well, lacking proper social skills and plagued with the trauma that comes with being a child assassin.

Tashak is nearly ready to return to the guild defeated, when she's visited by a ghost promising salvation - all it would take is her betraying the guild, the only family she's really known.

Khetri lived with her mother in a remote village deep within the forests of tropical Ussiar. She knew they were not from this village, arriving when she was an infant, but her mother kept all details from before a secret. She had promised to tell Khetri the truth when she was old enough, but when she was still a young child her mother was killed by a wild boar during a hunt. The only hints of the past she had was her mother's old chest of various trinkets, but no one could understand what they could mean.

Khetri grows into a strong woman, partnering with her childhood friend and prepared to give up knowing her mysterious past and living happily with her wife in the village. But when strangers come into the village bearing an amulet identical to one her mother wore, her past catches up with her and her entire world is flipped upside down.

They had fled during the Winter Attacks, when nami powers invaded and took control. She wasn't the only one of the royal family to flee, either. She learns there are seven others, each with their bodyguard in possession of the same amulet - a tracking amulet, allowing them to find each other when the time was right.

Khetri's destiny, it turns out, is to join forces with her royal family and take back their homeland. It's not as easy as that, however, Khetri struggling to keep up with the training her relatives had gotten from their respective bodyguards - training her "mother" would've given her, if she had survived. Did Khetri even want to live the life of a war hero, freeing a kingdom she didn't know and rule as royalty she couldn't understand?

Modok was a nami-controlled state in Ussiar during the time of the Winter Attacks. Erylai that managed to escape the attacks were forced to leave the state, the king saying it would "make the kingdom a safer place". Magic was also forbidden, being seen as an eryla practice. Forty years later, the effects of the Winter Attacks made Modok a tyrannical state, its citizens heavily scrutinized and punished for the most minor of offences in the name of "preserving the peace".
