pirateaba – The Wandering Inn

10.11 H

April 13, 2024

(I am on vacation in another country! I will be taking my break early and have a chapter on the 27th for you!)     Did you know what the Claiven Earth reminded Ceria Springwalker, a half-Elf, of? Not home, that was certain. Hah! She walked through the balmy forest underneath vast trees grown in […]

10.10 E (Pt. 2)

April 6, 2024

(This chapter was divided into two parts! Check to see if you’ve read Pt. 1 first!)     Thus, the King of Khelt awoke. He had never truly slept. But his mind had drifted while attending to the minutiae of his duties. That was how it felt. As if he had had a dream, even […]

10.10 E (Pt. 1)

[To celebrate the upcoming audiobook release of Gravesong, the first book of a stand-alone trilogy about Cara O’Sullivan, The Singer of Terandria, on April 30th, we’re holding a launch event on the Wandering Inn Discord server! Undead, ghosts, and more are to be found within the pages of Gravesong, but who will you find yourself […]

(Trigger Warning: See the link here for details.) (I am on break until April 6th! Then, I will begin my new schedule of updates. See Blog #10 for details.)     “This is it! Oh poo! Oh g—oh dead—aaah! This is it!” A wave crashed down on a beach like an avalanche, the foam of […]

10.08 (Pt. 2)

March 20, 2024

(Two chapters were released at the same time! Make sure you’ve read 10.08 (Pt. 1) before this one!)     It took Erin Solstice a full day and a bit to get to Elvallian, but she made it without further incident. The Selphids who had split from Hoisq’s force needed patching up and reclassifying as […]

10.08 (Pt. 1)

On the road to Elvallian, a trade road that passed along the great jungle of Baleros, beneath huge cliff faces, and all the way from beaches on each side of the continent, there was a city. If you took the road from Talenqual past Yoill, you’d get to the city of Ramok. It was an […]

Interlude – Saliss the Architect

March 13, 2024

This was a tale about Saliss of Lights, not Onieva Oliwing. It was about a Drake who didn’t sleep well. You’d think that wouldn’t be a problem for a Named-rank adventurer used to venturing into the wilds of the world and fighting, sometimes for days on end, without sleep. Saliss had done that. Of course, […]

(Book 12, The Witch of Webs, is now up for pre-order on Kindle and Amazon! I worked hard on it, so expect me to put up the rewrites when I’m less busy! Soon!) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Witch-Webs-Wandering-Inn-Book/dp/B0CXF6DBJQ/ Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Witch-of-Webs-Audiobook/B0CXFCNFKZ         They were once a group of Named-rank Adventurers, an internationally recognized team named World’s […]

(Read this blog about important changes to the update schedule of The Wandering Inn. Of all the blog posts, this is the one to read.)     There is a box. A hidden box; one of the hardest places in the world to enter, let alone spy into. Kingdoms could break their magic on the […]

Blog #10 – Chapter Release Changes

Ahem. Starting April 2024, I will release ~30,000 words only on Saturday instead of twice a week. It is my intention to begin this starting in April so my readers, but especially Patreons, aren’t blindsided by this notice. For the month of March, I’ll be sticking to my regular schedule. As for why—well, that’s a […]

February 21, 2024

(I am on break till March 5th! Expect an update to the Book 12 chapters and a blog about the changes before then. Wish me luck!)     The Wandering Inn was laundering real money. The Silver Swords were starving in the New Lands of Izril. Nerrhavia was teaching herself to play the piano. Roshal […]

“Gaze upon my mastery of magic and despair,” called [Archmage] Igawiz from the Steps of Challenges. He gazed down, and the [High Mage] removed the veil so all might see her face for the first time since she had come to Wistram. She lifted a hand, and the aether in the air pooled until even […]

Day 19 of the Consortium of Enterprise Expeditions   The expedition was rapidly running out of food and magic. That was, as Ylawes saw it, a two-headed Hydra. Yes, mistakes had been made. It was clear to him now that Merchant Yorrned had made mistakes in the planning of this expedition. Considerable ones ranging from […]

Blog #9 – Writing and Suffering

I’ve mentioned I stream while writing. I do it for motivation, because if one person is watching me, I tend to try harder. Not many authors do it; in fact, I’ve only heard of one other person actually writing on stream. That’s because it’s not very engaging, at least compared to someone playing a game […]

February 11, 2024

The closer you got to the New Lands of Izril, the more you realized that the changes to the continent weren’t just in the nations arriving, the political turmoil, or even the land itself. It was affecting all of Izril. The raising of so much landmass, nearly a fifth the size of the original continent, […]

[Will Wight is Kickstarting an animation for their Cradle series! The Kickstarter is already funded and I was not aware of it during my break, but shouting it out for people to see. Fantasy stories moving into other mediums is always great to see, especially newer ones! Check it out here!]     The next […]

Snow was still billowing down like great, thick blankets of white fabric draping themselves over Liscor. A final white sheet for the winter; a lie from the skies. After all—the days after would not be so snowy. The final month of winter, the sixteenth and last month of the year, was a battle between the […]

Blog #8 – Music and Moments

January 19, 2024

I promised to do another blog post, and here it is. 18 days into my br—wait. Where did my break go? No seriously, it feels like it’s flown by. To say that eighteen days have vanished is…well, it feels like 8 days, seriously. I have noticed myself recovering from being so tired. Whether or not […]

Blog #7 – Vacation and Wiki Update

January 11, 2024

New Wiki Site — https://wiki.stagewandering.wpenginepowered.com   This is an update, well, one-third into my break. How terrifying! Where did it go? I have two things to talk about. First is that the wiki is moving away from Fandom to another hosting site to mitigate the impact of ads, and so all links and the site […]

Volume 9 – Epilogue

December 23, 2023

(Make sure you have read 9.70 Pt. 1-3 before continuing reading. All three parts of the chapter were released at once along with the Epilogue for Christmas.)   [I am taking a month’s break as well as Christmas off. I will be back February 3rd for Volume 10. —pirateaba]     The last vestiges of […]

9.70 (Pt. 3)

It was all going wrong. Admiral Rosech lost his first fight that night against Titanguard Etrogaer. The two fought across the ship of the Golaen giantfolk, and he drove his blade into the man’s side, tearing apart mithril chainmail, huge links of metal. But Etrogaer was too large—and his roar of pain was followed by […]

9.70 (Pt. 2)

“I never knew Aldrail was like that.” The passing of Plainsblood and Captain Aldrail shook Admiral Maxy a different way. The half-Elf kept her eyes fixed on the ship behind her. She didn’t want to say it, but part of her thought less of him. That Gnoll had it all in his paws, and that […]

9.70 (Pt. 1)

It sounded like the falling rain. His heartbeat, that was. He could hear it as his rain-slicked hands worked, echoing from the tips of his fingers through his body. Rabbiteater’s heart drummed like the rain, a downpour that reminded him of the rapping beat of Calanfer’s drums during the procession. Fast and light. It sounded […]
