The quicksilver moonlight casted against the low-laying marsh, reflecting off of it’s pale blue-green body of still water. Lily pads and lake weed dotted along the edge as insectual organisms perched amongst the lush vegetation. Dragonflies with dew dotted wings envied the fireflies that...

The night was a crisp and cold night. So cold infact the clouds ceased to exist to cover the stars and the beautiful blood moon above The Spine. Snow covered the earth in a thick blanket, al ost up to an average sized human’s knees. The trees were not spared either, as their trunks were covered...

Steve sat on a bench overlooking a courtyard of the College, he thought about what he had put on the message board. Help! I require assistance, I am faced with the issue of having to find a way to separate a soul from a golems power stone. What complicates this matter is that there are not...

As the sun rose over the site of the amphitheatre, where the event would take place, people who had traveled from all over Arethil already began to pile in to watch the contest. Before the sun had even risen festivities were already being carefully prepared. Vendors had worked through the night...

Steve waved goodbye as the last pot of stew was carried aboard. He, himself, would join the main fleet in a few days after he had finished some business. As soon as the ships carrying the Eternum set off Steve turned to the still living orcs, and laid out the same options he had to every farm...

Steve Spudmancer Supreme has decided that he will combine Orc and Chicken to create a creature more powerful, and terrifying than either could be separately. He will create a being called a chicken-orc, but what if he messes up and accidentally also creating Orc-chickens, what could drive him to...

Owen lay in his bunk below deck. The swaying of the mighty warship, the Braun Virak, on the waters of the Cortosi Coast. The berth was tight and cramped. Bunks made to be lean and three high. In his hand he held two dice. Shifted them around. Watched absently the different numbers as they...

"Can't sleep?" "Not a wink," Duresh said. A lie. "What is it?" "Big." A glance across the light of the candle. "Something big." Elan sat opposite to him at the table. The small hours of the morning, when all the taverngoers had gone home or to their rooms. Day had yet to break outside. The...

Heskan Noscales walked through the many stalls and tables of Bhathairk's great bazaar. He wore a long dark blue cloak that had seen better days. Even though he was far from the monastery, he took great caution to hide his appearance and to cover up his tattoos he didn't want a fight on his hands...

The freshly fallen snow crunched under his boots with the same satisfying sound that it always had. Draegan was still adjusting to the realities of his… condition? Existence? He wasn’t mentally adjusted yet. Sometimes he would absentmindedly be looking around for rations or digging holes in the...

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love." -Saint Basil This particular story begins in a certain town across the wider world. Where, you ask? Could have been anywhere, and it...

Steve sensed one of his Infinity potatoes being used, he thought little of this as he had been waiting on Eternum to use one up North so he could go, and meet them at the resulting garden. What was unexpected however was that this new garden hadn't come from the North. Steve began heading to...

Steve, or Stephanzo as his father, Will named him, is currently out in the wood near the base of The Spine. He is looking for, and razing animals and monsters for the nation of Eternum. I would love for some to join the story to give it some flavour and conflict, even if you are just passing...

Well, here he was in Elbion, and he was planning a nice attraction. Jonathan really did need performers, and gold. His aim was to find more performers. While he and Hob made a lovely spectacle of themselves....Jon needed to grow this business. He had a vision. A large permanent theatre space...

The girl sat up, woozy. What had happened? Where was she?... Who was she? Her head was spinning and she felt extremely sick. Suddenly, words flooded her mind- yet they were all devoid of pictures. She slowly looked around. She was laying in her back in the middle of a grassy field- next to a...

Allir Reaches - Northern Plains Around him was a clatter of swords, armor, and horses as various sell-swords gathered their equipment and prepared to mount up. Most of them Thren didn't know, and in truth didn't want to know. They were all here for the same reason really; money. It appeared...
