Man this is like, super outdated. Will be rewritten at some point Elven Lands – Northern Karand Though thought of as a homogeneous entity, the elves are just as diverse as every other race. This is clearer than ever in the fractured nature of the elven lands...

In need of a re-write, super outdated and doesn't fit anymore Vordea – Goddess of Change One of the two primordial Gods, Vordea’s purview is “change”, and all that it encompasses, both good and bad. Any change that does not fall under the domains of one of t...

The main schools of magic are Fire, Water, Air, Creation, Divine, and Displacement. The 7th school, Death Magic (or rather, Time Magic), has only ever been successfully used by 2 people in recorded history: The reaper mage Sirene Ignitis, and the Clockwork Dr...

Perhaps the most well-known of the various curses that can befall a sapient, vampirism is both misunderstood and a bit of a question mark. Due to this, I went to great effort interviewing known vampires, Gods (and Goddesses), dragons, spirits, and virtually an...

The wheels of the carriage clattered across the cobblestones of the courtyard as it drew nearer to the entrance of the castle. It was already evening, the sun dipping below the distant mountains as the door to the inner courtyard opened noiselessly, and the ho...

I don't know if I can actually salvage this story, I might just classify it as apocryphal Professor Hargrave’s study filled with the scent of death as the Goddess Eigengrau appeared in a whiff of smoke. He motioned to the chair he had prepared for her, and sh...

Year 764 Marv (23): Small guy, looks kind of like a rat, expert with dagger, could steal the melanin off a dwarf, looks like a Jersey Shore reject Jack (28): Looks like every white guy ever, water magic master, extremely boring at parties, definitely does fa...

"A vampire, Hamlin?" the Innkeeper asked, while wiping out a mug. "Yes, a vampire. Do you know of any currently at the inn?" Hamlin repeated himself, as he emptied his stein. "I'm sure you of all people have heard of my book I'm writing by now?" The Innkeepe...

Upstairs, the Innkeeper heard the sobs coming from the basement and frowned. "If only I could help them." he said with a sigh. He turned to the grey-robed woman with raven black hair sitting at his counter. "Go talk to the lass. You call them your children, d...

A frost spread through the basement as the grey-robed woman set her bare feet on the ground. Some of the candles threatened to flicker out, before changing to a bright blue flame. Marv looked up as she approached the table and his eyes betrayed the calm exteri...

Back at the counter upstairs, the Innkeeper was smiling as she returned to her spot at the counter. "You give Hamlin the message?" he asked her. "Of course I will have. He knew the time will have eventually come." she said in her sing-song voice, having becom...

“There’s been a peculiar report from the sentries on the pass this morning, Captain” the Adjutant said as he entered the Captain’s office. “A solo traveller.” “A solo traveller?” The Captain asked, raising an eyebrow. “Dragon?” “No Sir. Draconic detection ...

On the road to Dragonpost, Sirene took notice of the soldiers suddenly getting very shouty with each other and all but disappearing from view. She smiled slightly, and shook her head. “I guess somebody recognized me. Ah well, perhaps for the best.” she thoug...

“You’re certain, Captain?” the man on the other end of the contact spell asked. “100 percent, Headmaster. Sirene Ignitis is heading for The University. Testimony from the Guardsman who confronted her at the gates of the city match all descriptions of The Re...

Sirene stayed at the university for more than 3 years. In that time, she spoke enough about time magic to fill a library, but stayed away from how to actually cast any spells. She called it a forbidden school of magic that should not be meddled in. When asked ...

“I’m sorry James, this is all I can give you.” the Shopkeeper said sadly, as he handed the scrawny boy 2 half-rotten apples. “I wish I could do more for you, but I’m barely making it myself. Try asking the baker, he might have some stale bread.” “No, I under...

Nearly 3 months passed before the strange woman returned. James had almost forgotten about her, save for the magical chest of food she left for him. The daily large meals had done wonders for getting him back to a healthy weight, and he no longer looked years ...

James was soundly asleep when she finally returned, his knife in his hand. She looked up at the stars and smiled. “I suppose we can just wait it out here.” she said, before sitting next to the boy. “He deserves better, and I will make sure of it.” The rest of ...

It was well past midnight and The Hissing Lobster’s business was winding down for the night. The ever-present Innkeeper had just finished cleaning the last table and was putting out the candles when the front door of the inn clicked open. A small child-like wo...

Hours later, as the meeting grew to a close, Eigengrau called for silence. “Gentlemen, it is time. We must remove Vordea’s shackles.” Eigengrau said, gesturing to the white chains on Vordea’s arms. “Vordea, it is time to announce your return. Let us reconven...

“Next please.” the Customs Officer called out as he stamped the traveller’s documents and motioned to the exit. A woman with a white and blue cloak stepped forward. Her face was completely covered by her hood. “Ma’am, you need to remove your hood. I can’t see ...
