It had been decades since the healer had felt the Sun, and she enjoyed the warmth. The ramshackled house was marked with symbols to warn of the pestilence inside. They had laughed at her dire words in the city, but if she could help these unfortunate souls, maybe they would start to believe her. The old woman knocked at the door, and when there was no answer, she pushed it open. When the […]

Listen to his tale of recent events and buy the newspaper he is selling (context menu) A tariff reduction to spur trade sounds interesting, an opportunity to boost the coffers of the cities.

A few gargoyles in the settlement waved to her, and Mariah put down her basket to wave back. Mariah had taken to visiting Naxatilor every few weeks for tea.

Today, Mariah had also brought along spiced dates from Nujel’m for the two to share as they discussed history and arcane lore. As […]

By EM Malachi High in the Dragonhame Mountains, a small dragon fidgeted. Mirendel balanced herself on one leg, moved pebbles around with her talons, and scratched shapes in the snow. A peak nearby started to shift, shaking off layers of ice and snow to reveal a much larger Platinum dragon.

I shall share a piece of lore on why we value reflection and patience. Watch now. Kal Quas Wis Ort […]
