Farewell to Andrea

April 21, 2025

Andrea’s Discord Announcement (Please be very respectful.): https://discord.com/invite/fhrF6GU   Hello, readers of Innworld, it’s me. I’m writing you from the quiet of my house while it rains, or prepares to. As Andrea said, any Frost Faeries have left a while ago, and it’s spring. Time to reflect–and for me, to continue resting on my month-long […]

Tales of Innworld #5

April 12, 2025

I’m still on break! However, here’s a comic from Enuryn to hopefully fill that gap! Paeth is probably one of the most magically advanced civilizations we shall ever meet. I wish I had some of their stuff. This comic exploring a few of their new inventions was fun to work up–there’s tons of stuff that […]

10.37 GDI (Pt. 3)

April 6, 2025

(Hey everyone, I’m taking my very-delayed yearly break until May 10th! Time to rest, recharge, and read a story myself. –pirateaba) {This chapter was released in three parts. Be sure you started with Pt. 1! –pirateaba}       Mrsha jerked out of her bed and nearly went tumbling to the floor. It was her […]

10.37 GDI (Pt. 2)

(This chapter was released in three parts. Be sure you started with Pt. 1! –pirateaba)       <I need a break before the final…I need a break.> The Grand Design was writing down notes. Rattled, and it had already been shaken. It retreated, like a hermit crab, back into the world it knew and […]

10.37 GDI (Pt. 1)

A question arose. A thought after all this was ‘done’. Had there ever been a worse moment in the history of this world? The [Palace of Fates] breaking. Worlds consigned to oblivion in moments. Had there truly ever been more destruction, more heartbreak? Even if no one had been there to hear the cries of […]

Tales of Innworld #4

March 29, 2025

I am exceptionally grateful to Enuryn for art like this, because I can post something during breaks. Of course, there is also the webcomic—but they’re busy with my guy Pisces’ first time coming to the inn in Volume 1. Have you gotten to him yet? I review roughs, and therefore, I don’t know what’s public. […]

10.36 – Pt. 2

March 22, 2025

The moon was round and full as it hung in the evening sky, clear despite the daylight. Odd and surreal, as if it had always been there and just…vanished now and then to make you forget it. It hung over the High Passes, over the dead and the dying, as 2nd Army besieged Goblinhome. Colonel […]

10.36 – Pt.1

March 16, 2025

(The Wandering Inn store is selling new frying pan keychains! Not suitable for combat except for Fraerlings!) https://store.wanderinginn.com/products/frying-pan-keychain         On the thirty-eighth day in the Fraerling village of Dretonamis, Erin Solstice was eating a bowl of salad greens for lunch. She kept stopping mid-chew and frowning at her food. Her confusion kept […]

10.35 (Pt. 3)

March 8, 2025

It was almost a relief, you know. There had been a tiny part of him, an evil part of him, that had always believed it was fake. His entire world. Not because he was so perspicacious as to notice that he was a being made of a Skill, or that he had a mind so […]

10.35 (Pt. 2)

March 2, 2025

{This chapter is split into three parts. Ensure you are beginning with Pt. 1, not this chapter. —pirateaba}   (We are running a survey for people interested in working on projects with The Wandering Inn!

Tales of Innworld #3

February 23, 2025

Here is one of the Enuryn comics he’s been working on that you voted for! This is a comic that revolves around Nombernaught, a city I’d love to explore personally, not just in the story. As I wrote in my Patreon update, I needed another week to edit and reorganize what’s probably going to be…100,000 […]

February 16, 2025

(Trigger warning for this chapter. Click here for details.)         Then, it was all over. Game over, if you wanted to be silly about it. That wasn’t how things actually ended. Mrsha had seen life end, and it was just—gone. An old person stopped breathing at last. An arrow struck you and […]

February 8, 2025

The holy kept marching through the door out of their world into a hallway filled with lights. The eternal sky shone above them as they walked into the [Palace of Fates]. When they entered, each one would stop and gaze up. Then they would see it. A wending road through the heavens, rising above the […]

Interlude – Redscar

February 1, 2025

He levelled up again. This time, the voice spoke to him and said in bright, cheerful, lime-green words that he was better than Garen Redfang. Higher-level, certainly. Redscar appreciated the vote of confidence, but he didn’t believe it. The voice was just a voice. It was no warrior, or so he felt. Warriors should not […]

10.32 (Pt. 2)

January 25, 2025

(Once again, this chapter has come out in two parts. Make sure to read Pt. 1 first. –pirateaba)         <Temporary Dimension: Alternate World 2 — “Ten Years Later”>   “—done it.” Mrsha stumbled through the door, and the first thing she did was pivot and turn around. But there was nothing behind […]

10.32 (Pt. 1)

<Trigger warning for this chapter. Click here for details.>   (I have written a blog post here, which I invite you to read. It is not about The Wandering Inn, but I do believe it matters.)         It had never feared death, never conceived that it might die. Like a child, like […]

Today

This is a message about how things are as of 1/25/2025, about America, and the state of things. I don’t write these messages or comment on world events much. I believe I shouldn’t be the person commenting at the end of a chapter about world events and changing how readers see the story; that interferes […]

10.31 – Pt. 2

January 11, 2025

(This chapter has come out in two parts so make sure you read Pt. 1 first! –pirateaba)         Mortemdefieir Titan. Draconic Warrior. The Dragonheirs. They had so many names. There had been hundreds of them created over the whole history of the Drake people. Hundreds; not thousands. There might have never been […]

10.31 – Pt. 1

“Do you see it? This is our chance. Our moment to reclaim victory from the lightless depths. To claw our way out of the black hole once more. We shall win. We always triumph in the end.” The Crone was speaking as two dead goddesses observed the chaos in the [Palace of Fates]. The eyes […]

December 15, 2024

Brave men go to war. Women too, but regardless— They fight and die. They charge the breach, pull friends out of hell, and march on. Through months of living in hell, sometimes despite grievous injuries. Severed limbs, still fighting while bleeding, through horrific pain. Then they go home. They stand under the bright sun, in […]

<The Wandering Inn is now a webcomic! Two pages will be released per week and the series is free to read! Check it out here!>         He remembered pushing a [Guardsman] down the stairs. It was easy; the Drake was focused on Salkis as she ran, having skateboarded straight into a stall […]

Interlude – The Grove

December 1, 2024

They called it the Veltras Forest or the Tauslech Woods. Within that land was the meeting place, which they called the Congress of Root and Steel. Or, if you were even older, you’d call it, ‘that new Skill-place with the Humans’. Because it wasn’t old compared to the Vale Forest itself. If anything, it had […]
