It’s the birth of the modern nalvot world. A war has just ended and Raspaka is the hotbed of civilization.
Oli, a warmswimmer from a small shoreside farming town, heads to Raspaka to get an education. But he’s in for much more, including sports, art, journalism, love, and a newfound spirituality. Follow him as he makes friends, spars with professors, and experiences life in the city.
This was my third attempt at Nanowrimo, and it was pretty different this time around. I got over 100,000 words, and I tried something I thought was downright impossible – to incorporate Christianity (or an allegory of it) into a completely alien setting. I didn’t do illustrations this time, but I did come up with some sketches at HexFactorial. Over there’s some excerpts too. It was fun speaking in an ‘uneducated’ voice. I’m glad I did it in first person, but now I’ve started talking like Oli. XD Third person next year.
