THE GOURDIAN

Universally enthusiastic chaos-artist & storyteller

The Royal Griffin

Because of the sheer size of the project (you may think this isn’t all that much now but oh dear, do I have plans) the project is broken up into sagas. Each saga has a theme and the cast may change from saga to saga.

The Jaobai saga

Hui Go and Elizabeth Chattoway have a lot in common.
They’re both headstrong, driven and have a strong sense of morality.
They both have families that don’t understand them. And they both enjoy sneaking out of the house looking for a taste of freedom.
The big difference however, is that Hui’s brothers and sisters are members
of the kashuya, a criminal organisation that rules the streets as the government does little to stop them.
And Elizabeth’s father is governor of the Jaobaian colony and spends his days doing… what exacly?
Aside from cheating on his wife and neglecting his daughter of course.

The theatre saga

Venusia is a city of many stories. Many lives interweaving as they go about their daily lives.
A young girl going to her job at the clothes factory. A blind boy playing the organ at mass in the church.
A group of refugees who made their way all the way from Choumuri, trying to build up their lives again after running from law and crime alike.
And someone delivering a cardboard box to the historic center of the city in the middle of the night every single week.
Their stories pass and cross one another.
Converging on a single point.
The Magnolia Theatre.

Trigger warnings

Domestic abuse, child neglect, child labour, ableism directed at blind people and religious fanaticism.

Summary

Donna and George are twins but that doesn’t mean they are treated as equals. Torn apart in early childhood they try to survive and fight their way back to one another.
