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 […]

I am still on break! But my time is running out and I’m eying my return to work and the fast-approaching end of the year. Have you written your Christmas lists yet? Over this break I uh… Well, mostly, I just rested up, which I needed and did not watch Arcane. Mostly because everyone and […]

Interlude — Songs and Wands

November 16, 2024

How was your day𝄞? Lyonette’s was fine, thanks. Substandard breakfast. Lyonette du Marquin had a convivial conversation with Emperor Laken Godart. She didn’t relish her adopted daughter, Nanette, being upbraided. And she was Lyonette’s charge, in so many ways that mattered, even if Lyonette would never, could never, and should never replace Califor entirely. But […]

She had no splendid words to say about the dead. No real scars to show. The girl named Mrsha du Marquin had no thousand-yard stare of someone who had lost everything or faced down armies until they or she broke. If you asked her, she would readily admit, once she was done being silly, that […]

Interlude – Arcsinger’s Memories

October 20, 2024

When she woke up, Elia Arcsinger stared at the ceiling and wondered if she was dreaming. Each day, she pinched herself hard on the cheek. Hard enough to leave a mark. Every morning, Rosencrantz stared at the red mark on Elia Arcsinger’s cheek as he handed her a too-spicy breakfast, and a Goblin [Spice Chef] […]

Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 1)

September 29, 2024

What is a hero? The answer was that a hero depended on culture. It was, to some, a job, an aspiration, a thing you could achieve and reach, and to others, an idea, a label to bestow perhaps widely or narrowly; a nebulous thought. To some, it was a mark of greatness and tragedy. Fate’s […]

Griefman (Pt. 3)

September 14, 2024

Ordinary man Roy Mackendal stood on top of one of Stellaris’ skyscrapers next to the space elevator and reminded himself he was afraid of heights. To his left, a woman in a spacesuit, one of the most powerful beings on the planet, Aerthe, sat with her legs dangling off the edge of the building. She […]

Griefman (Pt. 2)

Chapter 4 Roy Mackendal did not attend the weekly meeting of World Pact that Wednesday. His absence was noted by Aerthe. It was her turn to present the news, and they had exactly one item on the docket she gauged worthy of World Pact’s attention. She stood as the other heroes filed in, glancing around, […]

The Roots (Pt. 4)

August 16, 2024

For a Goblin, Rags realized that she possessed a fatal flaw: she was afraid of running away. Ever since she had become the leader of the Flooded Waters tribe, she could count the number of times she and her Goblins had quit a fight. Oh, escaped, survived overwhelming odds like Tyrion Veltras’ forced march to […]

She woke up on her back, staring up into the face of a Harpy. The girl screamed in silent fear and jerked away. Then realized she was looking at a statue. Her back hurt terribly. Mrsha sat up slowly, and met the eyes of the last Harpy Queen. Oh. It’s you. The eyes of the […]
