An imposing fortress lit by a crack of lightning. There in the heights of the Spine its walls rose, the labor of a great many Spine orcs and their Blight orc benefactors, and so did they name their black creation: the Druga. From the Druga poured forth raids into all the surrounding lands. West...

Akiza invited the man into her home and shut the door. A very modest home, little more than single room, recently vacated by a career soldier who had found a wife and, naturally then, needed larger accommodations. Akiza herself would've loved larger accommodations, but for her present purposes...

So Castulo was supposed to meet up with a foreign contact, Jerick Longsmith, here in the Pious Pint. But then some asshole threw a punch (maybe somebody said something nasty to him), and the man who got punched was too damn drunk to throw a decent punch back, his fist flew off target, walloped...

The oppressive sun's light weighed down on her more heavily when she was thirsty. Akiza walked in the light of the day and pretended like all was well. She pretended like she was but a "Penitent", as those with magic were called here in Gild, and not something more...dangerous. But the thirst...

GILD THE ESTATE OF HOUSE GILDAL Ruslan Gildal woke in his bedchambers in the Estate of House Gildal. Soft morning light, born from the freshly risen sun, filtered in through the curtains. He sat up in the bed and ran his hand through his hair and looked to the window. He swung his legs over...

They are the last who hold to the faith of Jura. From a ragged band of persecuted refugees, to having now their own Kingdom, they have come far. Their strength is their unity, the bond of shared piety, and through it does their Community—the Jemaat—grow. They are the people of Gild. Humans, the...

The sun shined far overhead, it’s warm rays promising a beautiful day. It's beams bounced off of the pristine buildings and set a nice light upon a small building, a sign in front of it making it's purpose somewhat more specific. "Shodo...Clinic is...finally open." the very man himself...

"A...fire? Why does....this concern me?" he asked the messenger, beaked mask peering eyelessly at the comparatively small man. "Er, Mr. Shod- Mr. Shodo, you are known to have healing experience." they explained, nervously holding out a piece of paper. "Ugh...what is your name...sir?" Shodo...

In Gild they called it "the Long Dark". Scholars and travelers from other Campanian kingdoms, nations, and city-states had returned with the name bestowed upon the upcoming celestial event by leading figures of Elbion, the Triennial Syzygy, yet by then the simpler name had become entrenched...

Few would-be burglars survived the bitterly cold Eretejva, much less managed to scale the frozen crags and mountains that held one of the hidden entrances to the dragon’s lair. Fewer still would have been able to see through the veils carefully placed over each possible entrance, delicate...

Four Gildan Regulators caught them in the field outside Ushak, a farming village close to Gild. The two sidhe so captured were two of the group elusive Fae who had plagued Ushak for some time now. The circumstances in Ushak suggested to Boesarius that there were collaborators among the...

GILD "You must be quickly growing accustomed to this duty," said Bashrahip Mustafa Junnal. Leah Kadashal once again stood in his office chamber inside of the Temple of the Everburning Flame. Once again she had been summoned for the task of Clemency, of being a handler for a claimant thereof...

GILD "Who are they?" Leah, Boesarius, and a city guard stood in the house. Outside, a full cordon of guards had been established. Inside, the bodies of two unknown warriors, their armor and garb dark and patterned with strange designs; elsewhere in another room lay the bodies of the Gildan...

NORTH OF GILD "Do you know where we stand, Leah?" said Boesarius Terral. Leah Kadashal, the Regulator-in-training under him, looked out over the wide open green field upon which the two of them stood. Very much was it like any other to be found all throughout the land of Campania. A sea of...

FIVE YEARS AGO The chill of the mountainous heights of the Spine bit into Ruslan's bones. The freezing rain was coming down hard, and the dark clouds above smothered the light of day and covered the hardy forest of trees in a uniform dimness. He was pressed to the ground next to a thick batch...

Nemeska Elissal practiced smiling before her mirror everyday. Always did she begin while dressing herself, staring into the mirror as her hands, accustomed to their motions, went about their work near entirely of their own accord. The trick was to ensure that her smile reached her eyes. This was...

They called the beast U'matar. The Iuk-'U Delta was home to many a fearsome creature, its neighboring land of the Ixchel Wilds even more so. Any who called the Delta home, and any who ventured through it, ought beware. But Mogrin Dhuumal could not spare any harbor for fear, for into the Delta...

Irene Savashal wiped blood from her face with the back of her hand. She gave both her swords a hard flick and blood spattered to the ground before her, joining in with the deep crimson already present and the corpses of the gretches. Behind her the warhorn from the ogre contingent bellowed a new...
