Note from author

My main inspirations for "Reverie's End" are fantasy anime, Japanese rpgs, and Game of Thrones. This story is my attempt at a "shounen anime" without the usual predictable cliches associated with the genre. Characters will grow in strength through training and hard work that usually takes months or years. Random power ups will rarely occur. Characters will die if necessary for the story. Few (if any) characters have "plot armor". Ethos is a fantasy world, but one that tries to be realistic when possible. The characters are not gods with unlimited powers.

Important themes: Chaos, Order, Time, and the 6 Seasons.

Chapters will usually be told from the perspective of one of the nine main characters. All of them are important to the plot and I will try to not neglect any of them.
