There was no end, it seemed, to the creatures of the deep. Even when Ivinon had unwittingly laid down his life to thin their ranks on the shore, causing even the surf itself to boil and hiss in protest and violation, steam cloaking the shoreline and confusing those without the keen eyesight of...

The dead washed ashore, things of the sea appended to their faces, their chests, their backs. Unrecognizable and bloated from decay, from whatever lurked in the deep in the days and weeks before the Syzygy. Humans, elves, other creatures of the surface, it all mattered not. They all fell prey to...

All in all, Ignisa reflected, it was well that the Kingdom of Tarnossia had taken the warnings of the Elbion College seriously and evacuated most of the coastal settlements of Aravell and Roniel over the past few weeks. Most had heeded the warnings of the Tarnossë and moved inland, towards...

Ignisa will probably join somewhere along the Aravell segment of the Tarnossian coastline (which is part of the Cortosi Coast).

The Main Assault Defending the Outer Wall The drill of air burrowed its way into the defenses of the orc shamans and slammed into their center with howling winds carrying the force of hurricanes. The tusked beasts scattered like ninepins as the defenses of the shamans blew apart, and the...

Ignisa's gaze suddenly flew to the sky as the clouds darkened and the winds rose. Beyond all her expectations, a storm started to gather, the very energies mingling and clashing too fast for any mortal mage to manipulate. A force, beyond the dreams of mages, seemed to intervene - the...

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, Ignisa had wandered the world, naively believing that she could defend herself with ease. The child within her had been unprepared for the cost of taking another life, and the first time that she had been forced to burn someone alive entirely, she had had...

The Dragonfly Isles were exotic and dangerous to be sure, of a strange culture that even Ignisa had not fully wrapped her head around despite having visited several times before over the last five hundred years. The House of Aravell maintained an embassy here under the guidance of the House of...
