Gail Rose Landers, Mythic Stories
System Quest Series

Daya is a moon goddess who rules not through thunderbolts or decrees, but through a living tapestry of threads that embody every bond in her realm: love, loyalty, fear, and grief. Her world is an eternal‑night palace city ringed by moonlit gardens and Moonblooms, where silver‑bright wards and constellations literally underpin law and magic, and where gods are as bound by cosmic constraints as mortals are by their choices.

Daya is tender and political in equal measure—she adopts lost souls, guides priestesses and stargazers, and quietly tends fraying connections—yet she refuses to coerce hearts, even when doing so would make war or governance easier. Her realm reflects that ethic: luminous, intricate, and always slightly on the brink, sustained not by perfection but by the constant, consent‑based work of weaving broken threads back into something that can hold.

Selene and Levana are the realm’s AI‑like system UIs, but they function less as cold interfaces and more as chatty, ever‑present guides woven into Daya’s family life. Selene, linked primarily to Lyria and Cael, surfaces quests, heart‑metrics, and tactical overlays, but she also reframes challenges as growth rather than grind, calling out ethical lines when power could become control and cracking jokes to break trauma loops before they ossify.

Levana, bonded to Amara, is a younger, more impulsive counterpart who turns learning and safety into “games,” giving a child‑scaled version of the same support: gentle alerts, playful encouragement, and a sense that someone is always watching out for her without overriding her choices.

Together, they make the cosmic architecture legible—translating ward stress, thread health, and celestial shifts into prompts and nudges—so that Daya’s family can navigate god‑level stakes with human‑scale hearts, always reminded that the point of the “system” is relationship, not control.

Agape Duro Series

The Agape Duro Series is set in Lamur, Georgia, US is a place where mythic things happen. Originally called Agape Duro in colonial times, it was a collection of Greek immigrants with homes and a hospital which survived the Civil War.

When the Army Air Corps military base was built the city became known as Lamur and the neighborhood of the former hospital town retained the Agape Duro name. The colonial era hospital was rehabilitated into a sorority house. Now, outside the base Lamur, GA is a military town where Lamur AFB is the major employer directly or indirectly of everyone there.

North of town is an ancient grove where amazing things happen. Medical care is provided by both the base hospital and a new ultra modern off base, Chambers Memorial Hospital. One unifying figure in all of the stories seems to be the character of Dr Ariel Jordan who has at times taught at Lamur Institute.

Outside the base lies Lamur Institute which is a combination High School and Junior College. From the history of Lamur AFB as an Army Air Field, Lamur Institute’s Mascot is Amy the ARMYdillo. Since Amy’s identity is a secret protected by a secret circle, there is continuity to interacting with Amy even though a number of people have been inside the costume in Lamur Institute’s history.
