Fall from Grace
My rejection by the High Council has led me to the unmapped depths of Atares Mon, in search of a forbidden, ancient knowledge of a power to rival Asai. Here, in the underground fissures and canyons whose depths lead to the life-blood of the planet itself, I have found a makeshift city amongst crumbling ruins […]
The Ancients
The d’Valisantian stood as they entered the hall, light flashing on his crystalline armour. “Arosh Taarden,” U’shaltris said. “First Warlord of the Children of A’dem. Chosen from all mankind to sit at the feet of your betters and Ascend. You are here at last.” His eyes glowed. “I thought your vaunted talents would have brought […]
Deadguard
The undead kept coming. Had he the time, Bahlon would have cursed. The entrance to the tomb had been guarded by decaying wards and the bones of long dead guardian hounds.

The Circle of Swords
The women of my line remembered. We remembered living in peace on the Jade Stone Steppes before the Whisperers came. We remembered fleeing before the sounds that drove men mad and toppled empires. But the Whisperers had made a mistake in chasing us away from our homelands, our cities of gold and silver and stone. […]

The Words Come with the Rain
The words always come with the rain, for that is my curse. To have the opportunity to speak so rarely and wait for the whim of chance that there might be an audience to hear them. Why do I speak now? Because the rains have come, blessing these barren mountains and giving me to chance […]
