Archival Announcement: Breaking the Silence x Future of the Anthologies
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
The Good:
It has been about a year since the last Archival Announcement, and I’m sure you know a lot can happen in a year.
For myself, I had to learn to handle my diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), which has been a blessing to say the least. There’s so much knowledge and wisdom I’ve gained from the discipline of managing my blood sugar. All thanks to God, for this trial and test of faith!
Here is an article I wrote regarding my journey leading up to my diagnosis and my mindset surrounding it.
On top of that, I also got married on December 27, 2024 to my lovely wife, Amanda! We got married on our 10 year anniversary of being together, and for the past 4 months now, we’ve been growing in our love and faith more and more, that I thank God for her every day.
We also combined our last names, finally, and now we are officially known as the Arthadian (Arthur + Moradian) household. So, technically, Arthadian Anthologies is as much hers and it is mine.
And lastly, I’ve dove deeply into my faith and spiritual life that if you’ve been following me, you may have noticed my notes and the ministry I’ve started known as Disciple’s Prayers. I wrote psalms and faith-based stories on there, as well as connect with other Christian content creators to share their works for the kingdom of God.
It has been a wonderful blessing to grow in Christ, and come to know so many incredible brothers and sisters who share in love for His calling on their lives. Please, if you have a chance, go and check out all those who I follow and support their work!
All that is the good stuff! But now let’s move on…
The Bad:
Over the past year, I’ve had a test from God. There’s a reason why I haven’t released any posts or jumped back into Arthadian Anthologies, and it’s not because of my T1D.
Now this isn’t bad, but it is a challenge that has come up. Amanda and I were originally living with my dad last year, but then we moved out on September 1st, into an apartment with a roommate. It’s been wonderful having a place apart from my family, but finances have been tight due to the increase of bills.
And my current jobs are working for Uber and also working for my dad’s company, Invisible Touch Events. It’s survivable, but only if I put in the work.
Thus, I haven’t been able to spend as much time to focus on Arthadian Anthologies, but that isn’t the really bad part.
The bad part came when I had found out that most of the recordings I had for the Season 5 release of Arthadian Anthologies were bugged in the drive I was using.
When I found that out, I was in a freak out mode, because I couldn’t go back to record game sessions that were already played out, 15 episodes prior to the one we were on. Then the ugly came…
The Ugly:
After working for two weeks downloading the episodes to a cloud-based storage that were good (no bugs in them), one day I went to continue to back them up and I couldn’t find the drive that I stored them on.
I searched and searched, and it never came up. To this day, the Season 5 is a lost season, only known to those who experienced the finale to The New Age.
Therefore, if you were a listener, I am so sorry, but there is no way I will be able to share Season 5 of Arthadian Anthologies with you.
I wrestled hard with God for months and it still is hard, but what I’ve come to learn is that as much as I wanted to post them for you, this whole experience was meant to remind me of how what we hold onto in this life, they won’t all carry over into the next.
I’ve since surrendered to the fact that there is a lost season that only those who played through it can live to talk about it. But that’s not to say every thing is finished. By no means!
Future of the Anthologies:
Due to everything, finances being tight, change in lifestyle and attitudes, I am officially going to move all of my content on my website onto this Substack.
Reborn in Power will be free posts on this substack page, where you can learn the entire system of the game played in the Podcast.
All the Lore Archives written, will be copied and pasted over to posts here, and released based on when I am able to revamp them and make them presentable to you.
And I have been recording game sessions still with those who survived the end of the New Age campaign. All of those are now backed up on this Substack as drafts currently, and they will be released for Paid Subscribers only.
I will not be taking Arthadian Anthologies as seriously, as my primary substack is Disciple’s Prayers and to bring glory to God.
In the end, I’m absolutely blessed by everyone and every moment I’ve spent in creating this New Expanding Universe, which I believe God used to reveal Himself to me.
Thank you for all your support, and I pray blessings of grace, peace, and love over all of you! Truly, I now firmly believe that when I die, I will be reborn in power, and I believe that you have that same opportunity as well!
