In the Shadow of Mount Oban - New Book Series Trailer (2024) S.L. Burkhart
A celebrated anthropologist from the powerful nation of Thanakar receives an unexpected letter from the queen of a secluded island nation, with the promise of hiring him to investigate a "population loss." Sir Donovan Waltham, being out of work due to the defunding of the sciences by the currently elected party, ventures far south to the hot part of the world to accept the offer. Once he arrives, he sees a wealthy nation awash in luxury with safe streets, having no wars, disease, or other threats to speak of. Queen Isuna, a heavy-handed matriarch, regulates the island meticulously for safety and security, yet Sir Waltham finds out they have decreased in population by 77% in just a few generations.
He begins to work earnestly but finds out that the island culture is a fierce matriarchal society with men in complete subjugation, having no wealth or status. The women fill all roles of authority, including those of the military. He meets terrible resistance. Being guided by Lieutenant Meida, a woman who is initially distrusting, he prevails and eventually begins to uncover the island's secrets. Yes, there are some basic demographic challenges that are contributing, but people are vanishing without anyone understanding all of what's going on, all while the capital city of Panu seems blissfully unconcerned and unaware. But the soldiers live it and know it is happening. Unfortunately, they are tasked with carrying on as though everything is normal despite their fears. In the words of Meida, "the island herself takes them."
A scientist by nature, Sir Waltham is determined to expose the mystery and get to the bottom of it. But the deeper he goes, the darker, more ghastly, and terrifying the facts become. Nevertheless, he is determined to help Meida rescue their vanishing civilization.

Epic of Ryn - S.L. Burkhart
4 Book Fantasy Series, 2021-2023 #slburkhart
The Crovan Empire stood for hundreds of years. It and its sister nation, Nova, defied the order of the gods, devoting their allegiance to the Source, The Great Wind. For more than a hundred years, un-called to be conquerors and favoring rightness over power, their intimidating existence forced the world into an era of peace. But that peace did not live forever as the next great pantheon struck out in conquest. Crova and Nova have fallen after a fierce war that cost countless lives and their enemies are stronger than ever, ready to wash over the entire world.
Crova's last king, Ryn, a man of learning and depth, an arvaita, who was forced to become a king of war, is imprisoned in the underworld. His queen captive, his people all but annihilated and scattered, he questions everything. But in the darkest moment, he is called out by the Source. An arvaita works in many elements, and Ryn is called to do something the world does not know, to take this mission and share it with those, not of his kind.
Ryn is to gather allies, bring old foes together, and stand against this tide of oppression before it wipes the righteous from the earth. What he does not know is that who he is, broken and defeated, is exactly what the Source intends to use to rescue humanity from one of its first curses brought about by the very existence of the Nephilim.
With Crova and Nova defeated, the order of blood born and blood spilled seemed to triumph forever. But what is coming will begin to change the understanding of all creatures, both human, star, and nephilim alike.

What is a Just War? Confronting Evil and the Knight vs the Barbarian
Evil must be stopped. And righteousness can stop it, because righteousness is concerned with life and light. It will do what it needs to to secure the most life and most light in this world. Including destruction, but with a fine point and careful consideration.
In the upcoming months as the world escalates to conflict and tempts you to hate and rage and entertain evil; respond back like the one who knows better. The one who has righteousness in their heart and knows what the true enemy is. In a mindset like that, there is a time for war and a time for peace. A time for unity and a time for anger.
I like the image of the knight, from medieval Europe. Why? Because the knight was supposed to be a noble. The difference in culture between a noble and a non-noble, wasn't supposed to be property and power. It became that as a way to reward good, then in an inevitably corrupt human society, that became a point of contention and suppression of the poor. But it's origin was in one who was high-minded. The warrior, in medieval Europe, wasn't the brute or thug who only knew violence and that was his lot. It was the noble, who knew better, and could be entrusted with aggression.
In this upcoming time, choose to be a knight, not a brute. Choose to be high-minded, not someone who has devolved to their animalistic tendencies.
Below are several links to articles and videos I've made in that past, discussing this exact thing.

Be Free From the Lie of Progress
The concept of progress is more powerful than you think. It’s a force far more assertive than any armed villain or inspirational speech. It harnesses the very experience and need of identity and pulls someone toward an expectation with incredible predictability. But is it possible that the idea of progress is deceptive? Are we not constantly on an upward trajectory? The problem is that every ancient society has thought the exact same thing, only to be judged by those that come afterward. I explore the lifecycle of civilizations and the work of Sir John Glubb, as well as the Book of Enoch, and Ecclesiastes in recounting my own experience of “waking up” from the hypnotic tune of “progress.”

Is Conquest Always Bad? An Ethical Dilemma.
As any normal American, I feel very apprehensive to conquest. So much terrible history surrounds the act of conquering. But where do we draw the line and what does it look like to challenge the ethics of conquest? I take an honest dive into conquest as a follow up to a previous video, touching on ancient Middle Eastern history and some problematic biblical narratives. What does ancient history have to tell us about conquest and warfare? This a challenging look into an ethical dilemma many avoid, but should be known by everyone.
