Hey all!
I am happy to announce that Aldermark: The Last Elven Empire setting will finally be released to the masses! I've been working on this on-and-off for about THREE years now at this point. You can check out below what is coming in the next few months or so! For those that don't know, Aldermark is an alternate universe where busty elves live alongside humans. They have been doing so for many centuries, influencing much of central Europe and other parts of the world: at least up until the Industrial Revolution.
All the Aldermark books will also be released under Creative Commons NonCommerical license, meaning you are free to use the material! This means you are free to share, copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format, adapt, remix, transform, and build upon the material. If you want to use the content: you must give appropriate credit, you may not use the material for commercial purposes (unless obtaining permission), and anything you remix, transform, or build upon you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
Most of these PDF books (including a 25-track audio soundtrack) will be released for FREE!

The World of Aldermark: The Last Elven Empire
[PDF]
~178 pages
Release in August 2026
Our world, but elves are real. They evolved in the mountains of the Alps and Himalayas. They live for eight hundred years: the elves are beautiful, brilliant, overly busty yet fragile in ways that don’t show on the surface. They worship a goddess named Freyja whose priestesses can do things that science cannot truly explain. These elves built an empire in the Alps that lasted five centuries. They fought alongside British soldiers at Passchendaele. They were neutral during World War II. Their empire dissolved in 2003. And now, for the first time in their history, they have to figure out how to live in a world they no longer control.
The book is about 178 pages and divided into seven chapters: The World and Its Peoples, Gazetteer of the Elven Realms, Religions and the Divine, Daily Life and Culture, Magic and the Supernatural, Named Figures and Notable Characters, and Appendices.
This book will also contain the short story "My Wife the Elven Wet Nurse" written by Nuala.
This setting book will be released for FREE for everyone, and available for download on my website (www.ohshinakai.com), dA, Patreon, itch.io and Gumroad!

What's Next?
I have a bunch of upcoming books planned for the Aldermark universe that will be announced at a later date! These are simply the books that are finished to such a degree that I'm confident enough that I will be able to launch them on time hahaha! In addition, I also plan to do similar releases for Fantastiska (high fantasy fairytale setting with huge boobies) and Blue Revere (retrofuturistic scifi world with no aliens or killer robots), so stay tuned for those announcements soon!
