The Boelver is a book about a fantasy world I have been developing since childhood. It is the culmination of years of imagination. In the process of writing this book, I learned much more than I ever anticipated. I researched a number of topics in depth in order to provide the rich level of detail I wanted for this new world. After all, this book is intended to be detailed enough to be usable by a game studio for creating a video game without the need for any intervention or assistance.

Over the years, I have enjoyed creating and adapting various encryption systems in my free time. My approach has focused on series of logical transformations, and in that sense differs from other modern encryption methods. Although I have drawn inspiration from other existing cryptographic systems that I admire, I explored creating these unique systems to test my own limits of ingenuity, as well as to see how novel and interesting an encoding I could produce to convey hidden messages.
