May 13th, 5 pm Eastern Time, 10 pm British Summertime, 2 am Indian Standard Time Blackthorn stepped carefully over the grey-black corpse of the many-tentacled horror, flanked on either side by his red-and-black watchmen. His eyes were not on the many fallen corpses of the invaders, but the horrific sight of what had once been one of Trinsic’s paladins, now splattered across the side of a house, a deep indentation in the wall where the man’s body had been flung against it. All about him, in the now-red grass, were body parts, still covered with the remains of various types […]
Friday 5th May, 5 pm Eastern Time, 10 pm British Summer Time, 6 am Japan Standard Time! Smoke wafted up from the chimney of the perfectly normal small cottage, and perfectly normal clothing hung on the washing line outside, flapping in the breeze. Everything about the cottage, even down to the neat flowerbeds adorned with jauntily painted wooden goblins, was perfectly normal. Which was just the way he wanted it. After all, appearances were everything, and he couldn’t have people suspecting that the freedom of all Britannia was slowly taking shape within, could he? He put aside the perfectly measured bowl […]

21st April, 2017. 5 pm Eastern Time / 10 pm British Standard Time. Blackthorn inspected the fortifications of the council chambers, and nodded approval. Any strange creature from the void who entered unannounced would deeply regret their impropriety. Energy snares, mind spikes, mana siphons, and a particularly nasty bladed device were all installed, warded, and warded again. The governors needed to be updated as to recent events, that they might stand some hope of defending their people. But the day-to-day running of the towns was still as much a part of life in war as in peace. Blackthorn deftly side-stepped […]
A long time ago, in a dungeon far away… It was the middle of May, and the year was 2016. Cora the sorceress, seeking forbidden knowledge, sent her minions forth. 43 stalwart defenders of Siege Perilous stepped forth to oppose her. For nine and a half long hours, these 43 heroes stood firm, back to back, as wave after wave of foul creatures crashed into them, howling for their blood. That day, 255 waves were driven back. Victorious, those unsung heroes returned to their homes. The blood they shed, their great efforts barely noticed. Until now. Saturday. 25th March. […]

New Skill: Imbuing Skill Title: Artificer The Imbuing skill allows players to imbue items with magical item properties.
