Soulcrafting Tutorials

A number of in-world explanations of soulcrafting have been posted on Patreon and Reddit. In each tutorial, the protagonists of The Weirkey Chronicles explain elements of soulcrafting and lore that are not fully covered in the books themselves.

Tutorials are initially released to patrons only, and are later publicly released on Reddit at r/TheBrightestShadow.

Soulcrafting 101: Soulhome architecture
This tutorial covers the basics of soulhome construction and compares some example first-tier soulhome designs. It was released to coincide with the public release of Soulhome and contains minor spoilers for that book in the latter half of the tutorial, starting from page 10.

Canonicity
The conversations in the tutorials break the fourth wall and are non-canon, i.e. the characters never have the actual tutorial conversations in-universe. However, all of the soulcrafting and worldbuilding details are canon, coming directly from the author.

The numbering system is loosely modelled on the module numbering of university courses in the United States. In general, the higher the number, the more advanced the lore and the greater the chances of spoilers.
