October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I’ve personally know more than one person who has fought and thankfully won against the disease.
BCRF is one of the best Charities and Research for Breast Cancer.

Since it’s my birthday month! I’m choosing some of the character I enjoy writing about!
Ethan grew up during the American Civil War, and had heard the stories of his Uncle who fought gallantly during the war, and then disappeared into the Far East. Never to be seen again.
He followed in his Uncle’s footsteps and joined the Army. He was recruited by James Phelps out of the Army and into the Military Intelligence Division.
Ethan was good at espionage. He was fast on his feet and thought three steps ahead of everyone else. James used him for many operations through Europe, including to help steal top secrets from Intelligence sources in Britain.
It was at during one of these missions, that Ethan began to realize Phelps was playing a double sided game. When he confronted the man, he found himself in a far worse situation.
This month’s Sylum Discord Meeting will be Saturday, October 16th! It will be open all day, so come on down and say hello!
Also we’ll have two special chats:
October 29th – is my birthday … basically just add pretty pretty pictures – I’ll be happy 😀
October 31st – Happy Halloween!
Don’t worry we’re not physically moving again! Actually the good news is that the project room is finally up and running, which means we’re exploring new things for the Vault. The biggest one, we’re moving away from Etsy and getting our own website! This is of course a slow process that will take time (don’t worry we’ll keep you updated on all the shenigans).
So at the moment we’re running a BIG SALE at Etsy! 50% off Everything! Been wanting some new jewelry, fun trinkets, or cards – now is the time to get them! This sale will last through to the end of the year, but we can’t guarantee all items will be available, so get them while you can.
(Would be helpful If I posted the link!)
And it’s October (oohh look I got the month right this time!)
Check in. Remember you can always stop by the Discord.

Allan Quatermain doesn’t talk much about his life before he set foot in Africa. He won’t even mention his real name.
What he will tell you, is this: Some strange little Shaman looked at him, yelled out some weird words, wiped paint across his cheeks and forehead and told him, ‘You have the Spirit of Africa in you. As long as you stay on her soil you will be immortal.’
Two days later the tribe he was with were attacked, and he was Turned by Anok Sabe.
Who knew that was a thing!
And lucky for me it fit with in a Snippet that checks one off my very long list *yes go me*
Today’s the Date!
Stop on by the Sylum Discord Server and chat with fellow Sylum Members.
This is open all day (and some) so those from all different timezones can get in on the fun!
Today is also ‘Ghost Hunting Day’
Which leads to … seen any ghosts? Felt something off in certain locations? Experienced something that can’t be explained?
Discuss here or on Discord
Bonus Question: This was the opportunity to ask me questions.
The second main one I got was: Which order should the series be read?
That weirdly wasn’t an easy question! Sylum has a timeline that is about 7000 years … not including ties to universes and peoples before the time of Earth and storylines building further into the future. So we don’t have an exact timeline within the series.
Stories also have a tendencies to have flashbacks into past decades, centuries and sometimes further, hence when we list stories in the archive we have the timeline showcase: Set in 2007 with flashbacks to 1890 or something similar.
Now for the best way to read the stories to make some sort of sense 🙂
