A Thousand Years of Hope
The most exciting part of creating a story is building relationship maps. So much happens in a family setting, that you can make a relationship map simple or very complicated. This is a relationship map of the characters in the A Thousand Years of Hope story. It is currently running on my page on GayAuthors/lilansui. Let’s discover Tani and Dante’s existing relationships before they make one of their own.

Tani is my unique character as he connects two realms. The fictitious Ekho realm and the mortal realm. His strongest ally is Amu, his mother’s brother, and Cale, the god of calamities. Like Amu, Tani has chosen to take on a ward. So Tani is connected to Deniz and Hakan through Hera. Since I’m currently writing on Chapters 6 and 7, this character relationship map reveals a hidden character who has not shown up yet. (Can you guess who?)
Members of the Septum
Seven powerful lords govern the fictitious Ekho Realm, keeping the balance and all who live in the realm at fairly peaceful times.
- Kinon – god of Fire
- Eren – goddess of Earth
- Mizian – god of Wind
- Rianon – goddess of Water
- Helia – goddess of Fertility
- Cale – god of Calamity
- Sunu – Immortal Lord
The Sentinel guards entrance and exit of the Ekho Realm at the Palladium Gates. Her name is Sahdrina of the Namib.

Dante has a very interesting family line which his great, great grandfather will have much more to explain later. Thanks to Kinon, Dante is quite powerful and will make a great match for Tani. Dante’s character is unique to create for me because he has children with Viola. He is not present in their lives. This is the first time I’ve approached such a character before, without having to focus so much on Viola’s perspective. He is a character some people might not love so much, because of this failure, I hope to redeem him in other ways.
My collection of characters is complete. Do check out A Thousand Years of Love on GayAuthors.org. It takes me time to upload chapters, but I try to make them worth the wait.
In other news, I’ve been reediting The Reluctant Consort and will upload a new extra soon. It’s always fun to get back to old characters.
