The Warboar growled, it’s huge mane or razor-sharp spines rippling as it spat saliva throughout the clearing, shaking its head with rage, small red eyes rolling.
Gor stood before it, holding his short spear, it’s flint head glistening with blood scored from his previous clashes with his foe. He was not big or strong – at [...]
He cold not look up. The weight on his head forced him to look forwards.
It was a hat, wide of brim with a circular glass tube filled with a heavy liquid he did not know the name of. Some sort of metal. The hat ensured he could not tilt his head up or down, but [...]
Evan stared out at the bleak expanse, the black half-mile high towers in the distance, twisting upwards and inwards like the ribcage of some extinct monstrosity.
The towers were hollow and home to many thousands of people, using mirrors and strange magicks to grow food without soil, enough to ensure that none of them would ever [...]
The Tale of Yideehg and Nliurg
The brothers of the crimson fist are known by many names, most of which have become curse words in the time since their most dreadful existence – I shall not offend you with any of them.

The old woman in front was paying with coins, and the woman at the counter seemed almost catatonic. Harsh white light with a blue tinge highlighted the purple streak in [...]
Jorn burst from the trees about the edge of flamesric hollow, running north onto the dreadplain. Behind him he could hear barks of wyvern, and the yelps of gecko and salamander. The jewel in his hand was sharp and seemed to cut into him, but he had no chance to find a bag before absconding.

Koric smiled, felt the hummingbird flying in his stomach, closed his eyes, and spurred on his horse.
Gorik’s bane was dimly visible far ahead in the pre-dawn grey, that old bluff that had seen so much death in so many battles. Koric spurred his horse and the great roan burst into a gallop. Wind felt through [...]
The Gecko crawled over battlements, hiding on the outside of the wall when guards pass. The skills of the gecko, passed down through his family for countless generations, ensure his safety.
