ABOUT DIMIDIUM TALES
Welcome, wanderer, to a world where magic flows like water.
Dimidium Tales is my playground for spinning stories set in a high fantasy realm where three distinct domains—mountain, coast, and desert—each nurture their own magical traditions, all stemming from the same primordial source.
THE PUBLICATION JOURNEY
This corner of the internet will fill with tales from a world divided by the Separation—a cataclysmic event that forever changed how magic functions. And you're invited to experience it firsthand, one story at a time.
Here you'll find legends and lore, prophecies and premonitions, all unfolding across a landscape where dragon riders soar through mountain peaks, matrix engineers harness crystal power along the coast, and binding mages forge pacts with entities across the crimson desert sands.
STORY CYCLES & STRUCTURE
Dimidium Tales unfolds in domain-focused story cycles:
Mountain Tales (Current Cycle)
High among the Dragon's Spine mountains, where dragon-rider bonds and weather magic shape societies built into vertical mountainsides. Our flagship novella, "Mountain Bond: The Ancient Choice," follows Ryn Stormwatcher's journey through grief and transformation as they form an unprecedented bond with Eskarith, an ancient dragon with centuries of wisdom.
Coastal Chronicles (Future Cycle)
Where Guild matrix technology meets the mysterious powers of sirens along maritime trade routes and shifting political alliances. These stories explore the tension between technological control and natural harmony.
Desert Whispers (Future Cycle)
Across the crimson sands where geometric binding patterns connect humans with entities from another realm, and tribal traditions guard ancient secrets beneath the dunes.
Each cycle stands independently while subtly intertwining with the others. Read one domain or journey through them all—the choice is yours.
