🗝️ Codex Zumar | Entry 001

It is said that Zumar remembers. Stones hold grudges, doors mutter secrets, and the tea never forgets who brewed it last.

When you walk its streets, you do not simply pass through—you are marked, folded into the city’s story whether you consent or not.

A Local Saying: “Careful where you step—Zumar has long memories and sharp corners.”

Some say the cobblestones shift when no one is looking. Some know that it’s true.

Welcome, weary traveller. You have found the Moonlit Minaret.

Here, the lamps burn with stories. The breeze smells faintly of saffron and ash. And somewhere in the distance, laughter echoes through a teashop that isn't always where you left it.

A light has been lit. 🕯️ The minaret has always been here—quiet, steady, waiting. Now, however, the lanterns have been lit. The doors have been unlatched. And the stories are beginning to stir. Hello, I’m Alia. I write soft magic and slow-burn hearts. My stories are woven from memory and fire and sometimes, magic. All things that refuse to stay silent. You won’t find everything here all at once. I don’t tell everything. But stay long enough, and you might just hear something worth remembering.

🕯️The current tale being woven: LSiS — A cosy fantasy about sentient teashops, strangers with secrets, and the quiet alchemy of love that won’t name itself too soon.

This is my author’s nook in the Tumblr wilds, where I share:

🍵 snippets from my current novel, LSiS

🌿 lore and worldbuilding from the township of Zumar

🔥 characters who ache before they kiss

📜 notes from the story's heart: tea, memory, magic, and identity

You will also find character art, world-related musings, and quiet chaos here. So if you like stories with sentient teashops, secrets folded into spice blends, and not a so grumpy-sunshine duo forced into intimacy by fate—or maybe just poor judgment—then welcome.

The posts here shall be gentle and a little wild. Snippets, reflections, perhaps a map or two. You don’t have to knock. The door is already open.

Sometimes, I post weekly. Other times, when the tea leaves demand it. 😉
