Forgecity
“I don’t understand, what is this place?” Nicoyin asked. Hot winds from the desert raced up the cliff. The sweat that had beaded itself on her exposed skins moments before evaporated as the furnace like air engulfed her, her lungs burning from the scorching air. “This is a memory,” Alem said. “From the Age of […]
The Soulsword
The Font barely held any power. I should have known when I entered the facility and the place had been leeched of all colour. That was the tell, the most obvious sign of all and I had let my excitement get the better of me. The Six Bitches had left Fonts across the galaxy, each […]
The Font
“There is the Font.” Romelda pointed across the cavern to the enormous stone hand that held the construct of the Firstborn. It was older than I had imagined it would be. Most of the Firstborn complexes I had found were alive with light and colour. But here it was as though the very essence that […]
The Gates of Sia’tai
Tohrein looked across the bay at the Gates of Sia’tai. It had to be them. It had taken him all day to make his was down the mountains. None of the bloody maps he’d found talked about that, did they? Oh no. Bloody cartographers just left lines on parchment and neglected to tell you anything […]
Incurison
The guardsman was blissfully unaware as Dalmanes pushed himself out of the wall and back into the material plain. The light of Telumisere rippled around him and if the man had been paying attention that should have given him ample warning that something was amiss. The only light in the courtyard was from torches – […]
The Dream
She had dreamed of this tower before. In the nights of Culling, when the Whispers first rode the winds through the street of Sambredo, she had slept uneasily and dreamed of this ancient, crumbling room. In the days and weeks that followed she had dreamed of it again, and again. The cobwebs that floated light […]
Arrow of the Gods
Ostel stood before the tip of the Gods Arrow Fallen to Earth and stared. The summons had touched him with an energy he did not recognize. It had not been the power of anyone he knew, neither mage nor Ciralys. He had never felt such a powerful Call. But he hadn’t imagined this. He had […]
The Tomb
Zarabel stood before the doorway. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes and opened her mind to the Eye of Eternity. The light of Asai, the force and form of creation, filled her inner vision and her skin tingled. It wasn’t like that for everyone, she knew. The tingling in the skin. Her teachers […]
The Eternal
Jorah had made it across the desert. He Soot, his horse. Of a hundred men and women who had started out across the Anvil, only he and his horse had survived. And he was a squire! Ser Telessa was the Knight who had gathered the expedition. It was she and the Circle who had found […]
The Guardian
“Void take it!” Thearo cursed. “There isn’t supposed to be a guardian here.” He looked across the tidal flats at the elemental that towered before the forest hidden ruins of Co’mala. The only way that thing had been placed there was by decree of the Ciralys council, the self-appointed custodians of all knowledge that had […]
