Don't be apologetic about including gentle moments with Teagan. It is a natural progression to her character development so far.
Author's Response:
That's actually really good to hear - I was worried that I was trying to do too many things with her character at once, and was sorta just giving her split personality disorder with how much I was switching between her killing indiscriminately and befriending Sihil (and Hassan + Aaliyah to a lesser degree). I'll absolutely keep that in mind and not shy away from it going forward.

So... was the First Emporer's plan not simply "complete genocide"? Also, fucking why? Like yeah I'd understand the genocide motive if it were in a place actually hospitable to tomkins, but even if they kill every single human, nature's still coming to get them in spades no matter how many animals they kill off.
How much of this shit are you making up as you go along?
Author's Response:
First Emperor's plan was very close to complete genocide. His reasoning, or rather, the lack of it, will make sense later.
At this point, I have more or less the entire plot ironed out - the hard part is wording it so that it goes from an idea for a story to an actual story. Mulling on a story you didn't finish for a few years really helps on that accord lol
