— Information —

  First, my heartfelt thanks to the very first reader who reached out to this story.

  You gave me the courage to keep writing.

  And equally, to everyone who has read even a single chapter —

  your presence is deeply treasured.

  To all who walk this path together, allow me to say this —

  thank you for raising a lantern with me to light Maya’s way.

  — C. E. S. Siba

  This is some information about the upcoming “Appendix.”

  The Appendix is a companion to Silent Kingdom (The Chronicles of Tirmeria).

  It is not a separate story, but rather a collection of Character Notes prepared as a reference to deepen the worldbuilding.

  The reason it is divided and released by version is to avoid spoilers.

  Each volume will include only the characters introduced up to that point in the main story, with their detailed information presented at the end of the book.

  - Version 1: Characters appearing in Book 1

  - Version 2: Additional characters from Book 2

  - Further versions will follow as the saga unfolds

  In each version, you may also find the names and minimal information of characters who will appear later in the story — but only to the extent that it does not spoil the reading experience.

  These entries are meant purely to support understanding of the world and the cast, while keeping the surprises of the main story intact.

  Through this Appendix, I hope you will come to know the Silent Kingdom more deeply — its background, its language, and its cultural layers.

  Look forward to the first Appendix (ver.1) in the next update.
