So I started writing this back in September 2024 as a celebration of the anniversary of me playing BG3 and falling in love with Kith'rak Voss and his ship with my tiefling, Vanquish, alongside the first fic I wrote about them. It was titled 'first among many' which is the translation of the canon word 'adilshar'. 

For that fic I exapanded on its meaning from its singular line meaning, and it being a title, to mean something deeper. A word of affection mostly lost to githyanki now, and something that Voss now sees in Vanquish. That he bestows on her that night, unintentionally, not realising what it will spiral into. 

That fic, that word, I also didn't realise what it would spiral into for me. Alongside my deep love for githyanki, Voss, it re-ignited my passion for worldbuilding and conlang, and as of writing this, I've created 80 words of Tir for my own personal use for writing, worldbuilding, and TTRPG gaming.

And so Prince, Blade, Breaker was born. A love letter to the githyanki, Vanquish, Voss, Orpheus, their relationships, lives, and story. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed writing it. It was a labour of love. Of joy. Of hard work. I learned so many new things writing this. I am not a coder at heart, it's difficult for me, but I feel much more confident now in writing and understanding some aspects of coding.

Finally a massive shout out to Una for providing and letting me use lots of her beautiful art for this game, and being a constant support and amazing friend, especially in our weekly 'art therapy' sessions. And to the 'githscord' for putting up with my spamming of WIPs, questions, updates, and just general insaneness over this project, over Vanquish, Voss and Orpheus.

Love you all. Enjoy!

Gith'ka tavkim krash'ht!
