Look and see. He blamed her for this, gave her credit for this even if she was not the catalyst. At this point, it was easier to say ‘Erin Solstice did it’. Otherwise, you’d simply have to admit the world could be magical, and you had no excuse for not seeking it out. In the […]

“Ancestors, it was all ever for me. I did it all for none but I.  Lift me not upon your wings. If you raise your tails, be it only to your back.  My sins were always only mine. Ancestors, look down on all the grief I’ve ever brought, the fire I breathed. It was always […]

The day after Colth and Pisces destroyed an entire caravan from Roshal, it seemed like everyone had heard of it. At least, in the Meeting of Tribes. Gnolls talked and listened. Even if it was a ‘secret’, keeping stuff like the Earther tent hidden was hard when everyone had the ability to hear someone talk […]

“I hear that The Wandering Inn has a beach. We should go there.” A half-Elf sitting on a rock, watching the snow fall, said that. It kept falling, even now, turning the world into a second sea. It seemed like nothing and no one could live here, yet improbably, a bunch of furry folk had […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     “Beach. Beach. Beaaaaaaaaach…” At this point, it was growing concerning. Nanette and Mrsha came down with two new tools for their ongoing fun. They’d made—with Kevin’s help—two […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     “I hear The Wandering Inn has a beach. We should go visit it.” Such innocuous words caused the Minister of Defense to lock herself in an outhouse […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     The beach never ended. Three days and the beach endured. Oh, there were challenges. Late night beach sex. Trash that people left around. People banging on the […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     Persua Mavva finally reached Invrisil and hesitated at the door to The Wandering Inn. It was as cold as anything, and when she was able to transit […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     That beach. That damn beach. “What kind of an [Innkeeper] has a beach in their inn? What is a beach? Damn her!” The Wandering Inn ate business […]

A week passed in the winter like a flurry of snow. Ser Normen and the Order of the Solstice, the downfall of Elia Arcsinger, Halrac the Grim. These things took Izril by storm—then the continent was busy talking about a duel between two caravans from the House of El and the City of Zeres that […]

(MelasD, a fellow author and reader of The Wandering Inn, has released a webcomic for their story, Salvos! A webcomic for a web serial? Sounds like a good idea.

(I am taking a break until April 29th! I will be resting and writing a bit of Gravesong, Book 2 during the later bit.)     The [World’s Eye Theatre] was awash with tears. Awash with tears. The audience would have gotten up and applauded if they weren’t so busy wiping at their eyes. They […]

(Podium Audio is featuring fanworks for the Tears of Liscor launch! If you would like to submit, use this form for a chance to be featured!)     Now came time for action. Now came flame in cold winter. Now began the Order of Solstice. But it was not going to be easy.   —— […]

An [Innkeeper] rolled over in bed, and it was easier to do than it had been before. She caught herself and realized she was tossing and turning in her sleep once more. Her body was healing…just in time for her to find herself lying on her stomach while her lower half was twisted around and […]

(The author is on break before they explode of tiredness. Back on the 28th!)     The following events took place during the month of winter quiet, including dancing lessons, a cold war between two girls, a Gnoll learning how not to fall, and more.   Some days, life kicked you in the face. And […]

The following story took place during the winter break of dinner dates, dancing, and a suspiciously quiet inn.     “Rufelt, what do you dream about?” The co-owner of Tails and Scales paused in cleaning a mug at his bar. The glossy countertop and recently reupholstered chairs were polished by a thousand occupants, the wood […]

(A huge thank you to the medical readers who contributed to this chapter! Louis.EXE, Alan, Sishio, Hanna, Brian, and Arcane all added terminology and their expertise! Any details you note are wrong are probably my fault and should go in typos.)     She was no longer a [Doctor], the Last Light of Baleros. A […]

“Have you heard of The Wandering Inn?” It was a question that had grown louder over the past year. At first, it was a whisper amongst the guards on Liscor’s walls. Then it stole into the city, amongst the Antinium. It went to Celum—and spread further. Growing faster and louder, jumping to Invrisil, Pallass. And […]

(Volume 1 has been completely rewritten and is up now. The old version can be found here. Please see the Author’s Note to find what’s been changed.)   This tale was about Mrsha. It belonged to her because she had been getting into less trouble of late. Valeterisa trying to pluck all her hair off […]

(The writing notes for 9.38 TV can be found here. Warning—spoilers for the entire chapter.)   On the third day, Valeterisa asked Montressa if she was ready for the trial teleporting. She had just used her new Skill. [Arcane Discovery]! It was like…a moment of inspiration. A moment of insight that you had when puzzling […]

During this week, ten events occurred in the world. Most were mundane or not immediately consequential in the grand scheme of things. They were just—details. First steps that only made sense after the spinning ball of destiny was crashing downhill towards the pins of fate. These ten occurrences were: a convening of ships at sea. […]
