Prologue
Prólogos is the birth narrative of Chaldea. The Pearl Universe creates and destroys simultaneously, cosmogonies on an endless loop of life and death, age upon recursive age, a multiverse of infinite metaparadigms…. old replaced with new.
Chapter 1
A blacksmith’s son orchestrates a mass slave escape when he learns his abusive father provides tools for the slave trade industry. Homeless and fleeing the authorities, Yonnus Octoni and his new companions live in the shadows and embrace organized crime to survive.
Chapter 2
Sarva, a young and aspiring officer in Akkadia’s elite Qurubuti Guard, plots the assassination of Iltani, a Babylonian goddess who murdered her Patesi mother, who was the lawful ruler of Akkadia.

Chapter 3
Reiswitz von Gustavus, the son of a famous Imperial officer, longs to follow in his father’s legendary footsteps and prove his worth leading soldiers victoriously onto the field of battle.

Chapter 4
Maurko Hamalgrar, the editor-in-chief of the Kordavan Informant, the world’s first newspaper, struggles to build a burgeoning publishing business as he faces opposing ideals: to bolster quick profits by publishing sensationalistic tabloids or to apply professional prudence, releasing accurate and fair stories utilizing facts and ethics. However, when the emperor suddenly dies and the world clamors for information, Maurko learns that news waits for no one.
Chapter 5
An undergraduate at the prestigious University of Dorsang, Zane Adraelestos, the son of a wealthy Imperial senator, redefines what it means to be a “professional student” after spending two ineffectual decades not earning a single degree.

Chapter 6
The Black Daggers attend the konig’s coronation ball in their latest criminal enterprise: delivering a mysterious silk slave to auction.

The world is on the precipice of war—the 10th Legion prepares legionnaire, sword, and shield. Legatus Reiswitz gathers his advisors for War Council to play out each strategy on the table. Simultaneously, under the Divinity Mountains in Niesse, his counterpart, Marzahn, a chaos relic of the Claw Hammer War, also pursues preparations…of a different sort: death and destruction to the world of Chaldea.
