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...

Among Marta Maisal's countrymen, there was a popular debate, one which attracted eloquent orators and rowdy drunkards alike to partake. And that debate was this: which was more so the center of evil on Arethil? That is, which propagated the use of blasphemous magic the most, thereby doing the...

"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...

To Bashrahip Mustafa Junnal, Priestess Marta Maisal reports that she has entered the town of Exeter, north of the Falwood of Liadain. Already have I encountered several Letai in my travels, yet (sadly, I will add) none have been receptive to the flame of Jura and the light of Regel. Ajam ways...

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...
