Author's note 2

Now that the shilling is over, here's some world building

The story takes place on Ionath, a planet with a long history and intricate cultures inspired by our own history. Angel's Fall rests snugly on the Odessan side of the Odessan-Arolandian border, an important bastion between the two nations. In the world of "Sins of the Father," the nation of Odessa stands as a pivotal element that sets the stage for an epic tale of family, power, and redemption. Once a glorious empire, Odessa's rich and tumultuous history now weaves its way into the very fabric of the story, shaping the lives of its characters and the path of their destinies.

Odessa, a land of stunning beauty and diverse cultures, stretches from the snowy peaks of the northern mountains to the sun-kissed shores of the southern coast. Its people are known for their courage, resilience, and a fierce sense of loyalty that binds them together in the face of adversity. However, beneath the surface of this proud nation lies a tapestry of secrets, betrayals, and long-held grudges that form the backbone of "Sins of the Father."

As the past and present collide in a whirlwind of political intrigue and family drama, the nation of Odessa serves as both a haunting reminder of a once-great civilization and a mirror reflecting the struggles of the protagonists. It is a nation that bears the weight of its history, even as it strives to forge a new future - a future that will be determined by the choices of those who must confront the sins of their ancestors and find the courage to break free from the chains of the past.
