Author Note
----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
First and foremost thank you for your time, it is one of the most precious things we can give to people, I truly cherish that you have given me some of yours.
This chapter contains: The Glossary for all chapter names in book one translated, as well as some information about a potential discord opening soon (after the glossary).
There is a poll for a future POV for book two (quick one chapter POV), it is at the bottom after the chapter, please don't forget to vote. Also, please feel free to debate about it in the comments below. It is you who will decide which voice will find the page. If you are reading this after Book two is finished, there will be more polls in the future. Please vote anyways, as when I periodically check them, it gives me an idea of who else to add to future lists. In case you missed it, there is another poll on chapter 40, also posted after the chapter.
Note: There are some who do not like changes in perspective. So in consideration of that, I will try to keep them a fair length. Finding the middle ground so to speak. Most POV's will only get 1-3 chapters each time they are voted, as you saw in book one with Senator Adonius and Keeper Dargo. There are some rare exceptions to this. As of right now, the next POV will be Lunara, based on the poll in chapter 40. There should be about 3-5 chapters for her total in book two.
Another thing I would love to see is your opinions of Book One, and hopes for Book Two. Please feel free to write as much, or as little as you like, I will try to respond to them all in a timely manner. Your input is very important to me, and I would be honored if you shared it.
Without further ado, let's begin!

Additional Information
Discord, Patreon and other information on the future of Hail Thy Gods (Skip to the poll if you aren't interested).
----------------------------------------
Some readers have been asking me about the plans for Hail Thy Gods, recently I wrote a reply that I felt answered most potential questions. It is very long winded, so I will post the TL;DR under the spoiler for it.
This is going to be a little long winded, apologies in advance.
Hail Thy Gods will be more of a traditional book series. Encompassing the ever expanding universe that the characters reside in. So far I have broad strokes put down for about ten books. This number will likely change as the story evolves, my style of writing is a blend of methodical and adaptive flow. Sometimes things are planned and other times they surprise me as the words find breath on the page.
For example, a lot of the elements for books two, seven and ten have already been written, as the inspiration for them came before the rest of the story. Most of what is written on Royal Road right now is adaptive flow, moving towards that which is already written / envisioned, sometimes changing things along the way as new characters or ideas find their way into the story. Another thing that has surprised me is that there has been a lot of interest from female readers wanting an exclusive book told from Lunara's perspective. These are all things to consider as the journey continues and the story expands.
My intention should this story find success here, is to eventually go back and have it professionally edited. With the intention of posting it on Kindle and hopefully Audible as well. This is a dream at the moment, but we never know what the future may hold. As far as what I am looking for by posting on Royal Road, it is to improve the quality of my writing and hopefully get a reader base. I also have a few milestone goals if the story finds success here.
For example:
500 Followers = Discord for Hail Thy Gods, where we can do polls over different elements of the book, such as POV's that people wish to see. Post art for the story, I would personally love to see what people envision and perhaps we can hold some kind of contest once we get enough people. This will always be free access and not gated by a Patreon subscription.
1,000 Followers = Patreon for those that wish to read ahead of free release, and see more POV's that may or may not be posted on Royal Road.
TL;DR
Hail Thy Gods should have about ten books total.
500 Followers = Discord for Hail Thy Gods (Always free).
1,000 Followers = Patreon.
If you want to help promote the story, feel free to post the link for it on discord / reddit, or any other place people may be interested.
If you haven't already, please consider Following / Favoriting and Rating / Reviewing if you're enjoying Hail Thy Gods thus far.
Additionally I want to thank each of you again. It has been a wonderful experience thus far, and I feel very lucky to have you here!
Respectfully,
Godric
