She knew his name. Odd, for he never gave it. Though it had been months, Vand was still becoming accustomed to his newfound celebrity. His countenance, perhaps, had become a legend. Once, he would have grinned smugly to the fleeting thought. These days, he found it just made him ponder this...

Luna’s spider-leg special effect drew attention like a fart in a crowded elevator. At the completion of the act, there should have been no doubt in her mind that she had just fucked up. The witches conversations would diminish, transitioning instead to the unspoken language of an ad-hoc...

It occurred in a flash. A shared tug against the ground itself, like dragging an anchor. The blinding, deafening scream. Both Vand and Doggrave lost themselves for a moment in a haze of red and black and pain at the joints in the fingers. …but then, that familiar chill; that frigid hug of...

Luna Slateforge said something to Vand; something he would not be able to recall in all its specificity should he be asked about it later, but, in the moment, it made enough sense for him to respond. After all, as a harasser, he was more the type for battlefield banter than his counterparts...

Soundtrack: A trumpet. A melody, sweet, discordant, and wild. A song, as old the world, as performed by the unique and irreplaceable timbres of the instruments that sang it. So inconsequential, so incredibly important. The earth would provide. For mother loves them all. The eyes of Signe...

Falwood_pandemonium | Spine_pandemonium | Eretejva_pandemonium | Blightlands_pandemonium Vand watched her as she moved in the snow. She was crouched like an animal; vaguely feline, very ape. She would move and pivot arbitrarily, like a pet dog trying to figure out just where to shit. Signe...

Falwood_pandemonium | Spine_pandemonium | Eretejva_pandemonium | Blightlands_pandemonium TRIPLE KILL. DOGGRAVE He wheezed, the desperate whistle dislocated from his person as it was exhaled through his trunk; cast first over his shoulder, then in a whipping whizz as the trunk moved from aft...

Falwood_pandemonium | Spine_pandemonium | Eretejva_pandemonium | Blightlands_pandemonium DOGGRAVE Doggrave visibly tensed, eyes widening as the dragon ignored the thrown corpse, letting it bounce off the side of its head as it instead pivoted to concentrate upon the Northmen; their helpless...

Falwood_pandemonium | Spine_pandemonium | Eretejva_pandemonium | Blightlands_pandemonium DOGGRAVE “REJOICE,” He of the Tusk heard in his mind. “For you are on a path.” This much Doggrave had already known. They as people remembered everything; told it again and again in a story written...

Eretejva_pandemonium Withereach These cycles of thrones and crowns…How long will you permit yourself and the people you care about to be locked in this endless melodrama? Vand stood at the edge of the hill, his gaze affixed on the purple twilight. But he was not truly seeing it. Glimpses of...

BUT EVERYTHING WORKED OUT. fin.

The Following Afternoon Vand stood on the snowy slant of a hill midst the grey-white all-around. He looked back at the town, smoke rising into the sky from their brown specks, reaching for the heavens at the big, red moon that still shown visible in the afternoon sky. It hovered ominously...

“Yes? Is this why you look so --fucking-- bored, then?,” Vand’s voice went up a few decibels, but in the periodic flash of firelight, a bit of a smirk was evident on his face. It sorta became “shit-eating,” however, as he coughed again. The affliction was frustrating for him, as it was for...

“Falwood…,” Vand echoed, almost in a whisper. It was private, to himself, letting it roll over his tongue, getting a taste of it. He had only the most nebulous idea as to what it was, what it could be. “I am a teacher,” the Druid assisted, announcing to the world that he was awake. “I would...

“Spriggan” is a catch-all term for a psychoactive phenomenon experienced by the sentient life of the Eretejva Tundra, though there is little agreement in how many types of Spriggan there are, or even a true physical description of the ones alrea
