Welcome to the Forge
Pull up a chair, take a load off. Mind the mess—it’s part of the magic.
I’d offer you a brew, but the kitchen’s in bits and the kettle’s on strike. Still, you’re very welcome.
This is where the Croígharda Universe is being built—slowly, stubbornly, sometimes sideways. You’re in the driving seat here, so whether you’re a moocher, a snooper, or just a helpful soul, feel free to poke your nose in. All views welcome—just be polite, mind.
What you’ll find here is the rough stuff:
The half-formed ideas
The “maybe this works?” moments
The lore that’s still steaming from the forge
And a few odd notes scrawled on the back of receipts (more like a little black book)
So... what’s this all about?
It’s simple. I’m making a universe. You’re here. That means you’re part of it.
This blog space—The Forge—is where I share the behind-the-scenes mess, mad sparks, and myth-building moments as The Croígharda Universe takes shape. Think of it as a kind of creative shed meets story smithy: part journal, part lore dump, part “what do you reckon?”
And no, there’s no paywall. It’s early days, and I’m not about to charge anyone for watching me trip over my own plot twists.
What you’ll find here
Irons in the Fire: A peek at what’s being worked on—book drafts, world maps, weird timelines.
The Messy Bits: Raw thoughts, scrapped scenes, and ramblings from the author’s notebook.
Codex Glimmers: Myth fragments, ancient rites, and echoes of a universe still finding its feet.
Call for Backup: Moments where I ask for your take—because I might be making this up, but I’d rather not do it alone.
Fancy Getting Stuck In?
Take a butchers, have a root around, and see what catches your eye. If anything makes you laugh, wince, or raise an eyebrow—drop a comment or a message. I’m a simple soul, so follow the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
Let’s be honest—it’s gonna get ugly. But that’s the whole point. If everything was already polished, there’d be nowt left for you to do.
Let’s make a community here at ScéalWorks, and in the doing, bring something wild, messy, and full of heart to life.
Here’s to forging the Croígharda Universe—together.
