I’ve just posted a new entry in my Patreon’s Behind the Scenes tier for the first time in a while. As a supplement to the release of “Aleyara’s Flight” in the current issue of Analog, I’ve posted a series of excerpts from my worldbuilding notes about the Nilyoru, the ground-dwelling Biauru culture introduced in “Flight.” As with my earlier notes for the rainforest-dwelling Rularu, these notes cover their historic origins, their mythology, and the basis of their language. In time, I’ll probably post them here along with the earlier notes, but for now, they’re a Patreon exclusive.

The new page can be found here, available at the $5 subscription level:
