*waves profusely*

Glad to hear that things are stabilizing! Sorry about you having to get entangled in family drama. I've been there a few times myself and it's NEVER fun. I hope you can recharge not just physically, but mentally as well. Something about trying to dealing with difficult people you're related to(by law sometimes more than by blood) can be so taxing. I remember last year there was some nasty family stuff that I held onto for far too long and it just kinda...ate away at me? Anyway, point is, I played a crap ton of the Witcher 3 to help me destress, so I strongly recommend recreation to recover from ordeals like that. 

No recent news as of yet! We know he's coming in December, but that's about it. Trust me, you'll get pictures. Everyone that I KNOW will be getting pictures xD. 

Right, to business:
-That is a VERY cool concept in terms of the world you created. I dare say we could get that involved back into the picture a lot sooner. Your idea of a proving ground would be interesting, seeing as it wouldn't make sense for Qunesu to be the only training ground. Maybe they come across ruins of an enclave a la Dantooine? 
-How long did it take for our party to reach the night world? Want to make sure I stay consistent with my time skip as well. 
-Should I introduce my planet and THEN go to Odessen or do you want me lump both into one post?
