Important Notes:

Hello everyone! The following are a list of important notes about the Pledge Manager, followed by a step-by-step walkthrough of the process.

Important Note I: Completing the pledge manager is a requirement to ensure you receive your reward.
Important Note II: The Pledge Manager will remain open at least up until the end of 2025, if not more, so don’t worry, you have a lot of time to finalize your pledges and include anything new you want!
Important Note III: For those of you that have original commissioned art from Jonah in your pledges, we will reach out to you individually after the finalization of your pledge in the Pledge Manager, at a later stage, to discuss the creation and delivery of your special commissioned art pieces. There will be an additional shipping cost for sending these out to you directly by Jonah himself, and we will be following up with more details during the beginning of next year.
Important Note IV: Regarding the tariffs for US backers, this has been one of the issues that have been holding us back from publishing the Pledge Manager. Our whole business model and all pre-production processes have been done with overseas production in mind, for all prices to make sense. Those can’t change at this point, so we’ve undertaken countless hours of research and discussion to fully understand, evaluate and properly handle this new issue.
For the moment, all we can say is that we have established a fair way to handle the tariffs, which is in short:
All US backers will need to pay a significant part of the amount corresponding to the US tariffs. Our priority will be to mitigate costs, of course, but in order for US backers to receive their pledges, they will have to pay an additional amount corresponding to the tariffs increase.
All non-US backers are unaffected from these tariffs.
As we cannot know the exact percentage of tariffs we will be paying for the import of your US pledges - as this whole situation is still very volatile, no amount of tariffs will be paid by you in the current stage of the Pledge Manager. Once the novel is printed and all goods are produced and arrive in the US customs and we have to pay the tariffs that correspond to these goods, we will re-open the Pledge Manager for all US backers and notify you of the tariff amount. Once payments have been processed, you will receive your pledges.
Once again, we thank you all for your support and understanding. We will do everything within our power to mitigate these additional costs for you and everyone involved.
Important Note V: As mentioned in his latest post, “These things I make, I give to You,” everyone subscribed to Jonah’s Tree of Worlds Substack prior to the launch of the Kickstarter campaign will be receiving an additional discount on their pledge (for hardcover and above). Please do check if you fall under this category before finalizing your pledge, so that we can provide you with your discount!
Now, this update goes through the Pledge Manager structure and process step-by-step, to help you understand what exactly you need to do.

Important Note VI: If you have any issues, please reach out to us via a KS message or a Hive Interactiive Support Ticket and please allow us with some time to investigate your request. We are here to help!

Thank you all very much,
Kind Regards,
The Quiet: Level One Team
