(I am taking a break to get ready for the final chapter of the Solstice. I will begin working on the 14th, but I may give myself until the 19th of December to make sure the chapter is as good as it can be.)     In the days leading up to the Solstice. During […]

“Serve me.” It was what Kasigna said again and again, and each time, they refused. Necromancers, masters of death no matter their form, stood before her. Not a single one knelt. “Who wakes me from my slumber? Have the Walled Cities died?” The Gnoll rasped in his coffin. His eyes were black, and he was […]

[This chapter has been split into two parts for easier readability. Given the length, I caution you to pace yourself reading. However, I understand wanting to read through, so I have elected to post both parts at once. For your reference, this is 47,000 words long.] (Given the length of this chapter, I will skip […]

“When I was newly born, with my first breath, I sentenced my mother to death. For she had been the Goddess of Death, and to create new life was anathema. They called my home Theiygiles.

<Book 11, The Titan of Baleros is out now!>     One day before the Winter Solstice, now, and all the pieces were in a row. Did you see them? Were you even sitting at the board, or were you looking up and wondering if you could see the outlines of fingers against the sky? […]

The hour was coming, and they were still all moving towards their destination. Ships. People. Gods. Soldiers. The living and the dead, and the [Innkeeper] was counting, now, like a woman whispering numbers in a dark, swaying room, waiting for the door to open and a kind of reality to rush in. Sending messages out. […]

A [Witch of Second Chances] sat in her inn, and the night had settled early. It was barely 7, and the skies were dark; the Floodplains were draped in a cloth made of blackness. But fires lifted the darkness up, countless watchfires trying to defy the oppressive gloom and the shadows of the High Passes, […]

I know all the authors and encourage you to check out their stories if you ever run out of The Wandering Inn or […]

It might not look like much, a two-story mansion in Liscor. But that was because space was at a premium in a city like Liscor. Even with the new district, richness wasn’t just in having crystal-glass windows shining with magic like the Mage’s Guild. Richness was, as any city goer could tell you—space. The Watch […]

[We have a new shirt featuring the Horns of Hammerad on the merch store! Check it out here!]     It was possibly the longest day in the history of ever, this Christmas. It was barely 3 PM, and it felt, to some, like an entire week had passed. That was because—while the adults had […]

[I am taking a 1-update hiatus purely because this chapter is 70-80,000 words long. It’s in two parts; read the Author’s Note at the end for details. I worked hard, so I rest…hard?
