One of the short stories I want to write for my Patreon patrons is an Ouroboros Cycle short depicting Basileios and his followers.
Set in the 1920s, this is a dinner scene where Basileios and his followers are meeting in Paris for a sumptuous dinner. Some of the followers are his original students from before the exile. Others are Shashavani who have been sent into exile or abandoned the order, and were recruited by Basileios later on. The division between the original students and these new converts is very clear, and it clouds their interactions, although everyone must be polite and keep protocol lest they anger their master. The star of the evening is, of course, Edith the Saxon, Basileios’s favorite, who has recently opened an art gallery to showcase modern, postwar art. She is especially interested in showcasing the works of former soldiers, in particular those suffering from shell shock and other psychological trauma. Basileios is very supportive, but some of the other followers resent Edith’s privileged position. Jane Fairfax is present as well, quietly chafing under the yoke of her new servitude. The Basilisks do not share the Shasahvani’s respect for those still living in the shadow of death, and it is becoming clear to Fairfax that Basileios’s followers regard her as a servant rather than an equal. This position does not suit her, and she intends to change it as soon as the time is right. Meanwhile, the other Basilisks scheme in the shadows. They dare not offend Basileios with their plots, but they are more than happy to conspire against one another. In the end, all that matters is their master’s favor and their own bloodthirsty ambitions.
It is 1921, the Great War is over, the old world is dead, and Paris is a wilderness of tigers.

So this happened. If you want to get some amazing art on cards go check this out. It happens to have “Vintage Vampires deck will feature 3 characters from Falksen’s popular book series The Ouroboros Cycle” as one of the features. “
This deck will have : Lord Iosef Shashavani ,Doctor Babette Varanus and Lady Sophio from my books.
The anthology for it also has a never before published short story from the The Ouroboros Cycle setting that you can pick up on its own if you do not want a deck. But the anthology comes with every reward obtained through the campaign so you get it regardless of what reward you choose. So that is really cool and you should go buy this as the art is amazing.
