"Apa, where are you going?" A young girl froze in the shadows of the torchlight before whipping her head around to her little cousin. She did her best to hold back a biting retort as she would need him to stay quiet. "I told you not to call me that, Oga. Be silent; I will return within three...

"Business?" A gentle smile split across Alistair's face as he reached back and patted the wagon behind him. Easily seen were dozens of barrels loaded to almost overflowing from the straining wagon pulled by two powerful mules. "Selling some drinks for y'alls little party." The burly guard...

Arcane luggage has a way of drawing attention. A veritable wealth of arcane tools, implements, power sources and scribed details of arcane matters sequestered in highly regimented fashion within the compartments of the cumbersome backpack, hefted without strain or complaint by one Sam...

The wind blew in from the grasslands of the Savannah, carrying with it the sere scent of desolation. The Traveler stood atop a low rise overlooking the vast expanse of nothingness. The wind carried only dust and grit, setting the green and tan of grass to waving like an ocean. There was a...

The Temple of Korabayir - Eastern Amol-Kalit A gentle breeze swept through the valley, the soft kiss of its whisper a cool escape from the scorching heat of the savannah. It seemed to carry with it the faint aroma of burning incense, the scent mixing with that of dried grass to craft a perfume...

The wind howled, carrying the sharp alkali scent of the Sea of Grass on wings of sand and dust. The contrivance continued to grind on behind her. She did not like the thing or the creature that dwelt within. The conveyance resembled an enormous cookpot turned upside down, a crooked chimney...

Hath took a slow, careful step through the long grasses. The dry stems scratched at his legs and arms but he paid the discomfort little heed. His skin was thicker than a human's and not prone to irritation. He had been following a small pack of Kamaleons for several days. They were small...

The moon's gaze might have lingered with envy upon the plains that night. Only the orange glow of fire could pierce the twilight so easily. It swept across the plains—this wave of color, like translucent shades dancing in oil—sweeping up all in its path, orange and yellow reduced to ash. Some...

The life of an independent mercenary was, for the most part, dreadfully dull. The No'rei kept his hood up as he waited outside the local inn. Karsh was as small a settlement as could be expected out here in the wild lands south of Elbion, a handful of wide and narrow, deeply rutter streets that...

Steel rang with its sweet tone, and the hurried steps of men dancing for their lives continued its staccato beat. Another blow, but Gavril had been anticipating the attack. With the dull length of steel held handle high and tip low, he caught the brigands' next attack in a sweeping upward...

Aberresai Savannah - Northern Entrance to Falwood. Splintered wood. Broken wheels. Had to be more than wolves. Much more. Something giant, like a troll. Why would a troll be in the Falwood? It didn’t matter. Something of that size was the only real answer. Spilled goods. Smashed fruit...

The thunder of hooves. It was a thing she was quite familiar, this denizen of the Sea of Grass - known to the people who did not dwell in it these past thousands of years simply as the Aberessai Savannah. The wild herds of grazing ruminates moved such that their numbers might darken the entire...

Are you really there? There was no answer. There had been no answer from the creature in her mind since she had slipped away from the sacred places out on the great Sea. Even now, still on the edge of the Sea - the euphemism given to the great grasslands of the Savannah by her people - she was...

"If its work you are looking for, girl, I have none to offer," said the proprietress in a flat voice. She stood in the common room with both hands on her hips, a disapproving sneer on her face. The effect lost a little of its punch when considering that she had to look up at the erstwhile...

Kelon, sacred homeland of the Kel, was a land of rugged beauty. Peaks penetrating the sky as countless streams and river formed blue veins into the Cortosi Coast. A Verdent dress wrapped around the voluptuous gray rising high above. A mother both kind and cruel to her children. The cries of...

The sun beat down on the open grasslands. It was the heart of summer, the rains little more than a distant memory. The winds that whipped across the Savannah carried with them grit and dust, the dry scent of the desert to the west playfully flicking the nose. The sky a stark blue, unmarred by so...

A small permanent village built onto one of the more forgiving sections of the Aberresai Savannah during the wet season. Varys did his best to focus on nothing but the sound of his shoes on the shoddily pathed scrubland as he burst from the small trading post building in the center of the...

By order of the Emperor, diplomatic envoys were dispatched to the tribes who dwelt in the savanna bordering Cortos and Amol-Kalit, bearing many gifts to bestow upon the chieftains. The Vizier Ashuanar was himself among the diplomatic party, as was Archlector Snaaib and Mirielle Merlon. Their...

As the sun beat down uncaringly and the sweat trickled down Teodron’s back, the half-dwarf sent up a fervent prayer to Metisa that he’d find the reagent he needed for class soon. He’d been instructed by his professor to go out onto the savannah and find this specific rare flower for use in a...
