Change of title: Narstak Covenant

In the last years, I played on the words Assault and terror for the title of the first tome of Narstak.
But now, I found it, the appropriate name.
I realised it after having clearify my plot and the «how to be» of this plot.
And then, I came up with: Covenant.

A covenant is: a formal agreement.

Narstak L'Assaut Sombre Book cover PROTOTYPE

This cover may be the one I'll use for the official book.
I like the colors and the impact of lights.
It is a beautiful work of art itself.
The size may not be the same, but the general idea will.

Not only I work to make a good story, I created a cover that will interrest the eyes.
Yellow work pretty well on a dark background.
What could be more awesome is some depth with the texture of the cover.
Anyway, I like it.

PS: on the contrary of some authors, I know the visual of my world and I will do it myself.
Only then I will be able to share my vision.

Anassian wearing armor

The Anassians are a mighty and powerful race from Phonnannop. Their civilization is old and their technology evolve slower than most of the other species. But because of their long history, they achieve high technological state around 3,6 million years B.C.

Even if the Anassians are known to have the ability of efficient space travel around 3,3 million years B.C., they never explore the outside of their home system, Narsarus. Also, some of the worlds where easy to terraform and one of Phonnannop's moon was already a garden of life.

3.1 million years B.C., the ancestors of the Dolforufus found the Narsarus's system. They realised that the system was richer than any other system in many ways and the Anassian's civilization owned many devices and technologies far in advance over theirs.
The ancestors of the Dolforufus decided to take over Phonnannop and the little colonial posts in the system. At first, the Anassians were surprised and not in position to fight back in space or even offer help to their outposts. But Phonnannop was strong and a war of millenias occured.

One day, the people of a legendary city and the queen died after an massive assault from Dolforufus ancestors and also by the crash of one of their major warship.
This event made the Anassians more than angry. The rage of the old civilization push foward the construction of their first real and strong battle cruiser. the crashed warship helped to make progress.

The first little fleet was way outnumbered by the fleet of assault warships, but those new Anassian's battle cruisers were more elegently made and full of devices which make them far more superior. Those ships push back the fleet around Phonnannop, which gave time to construct an other wave of battle cruisers to defend Phonnannop.

After a thousand years, Dolforufus ancestors loose their final fight in the battle of rages.
The Anassians could have kill all of their formal ennemies, but they decided a different fate.
The Anassians had forgiven the Dolforufus for their blindness and offer them to become their allie.

Then, they created the Nirs Burstam Morimu, Union of the Empires.
Afters 3 million years of existence, the Union saw more than a thousand species come and go.
In 3924, humans received the privilege of being part of the Union.

Anassians are still the most important race of the Nirs Burstam Morimu. Even after all that history, they know how to bring history into a favorable destiny, for them and their allies (or former ennemies).

Great event! All sagas have their first face!

After many years, I have finally made a face for all the stories I use to make.

I am Vincent Pellemans. I want to tell you that after making this, I feel even more proud of myself, but also of my stories.

Narstak is late on the schedule, because of personnal affaires and also because I have to make many modifications. It is hard to remake a chapter and make sure the whole thing is still coherent.

Thank you, people, to watch my work and support me. You have the write to comment. It's appreciated.
