The High Horse
Dearest Sister, I have stumbled upon a small human keep and settlement, although keep is a grandeur description of this collection of human farmers. From visual inspection, this small community has seen peace for a long time. No evidence of militia or town watch, very few weapons other than the occasional farmer’s bow. Old walls, …

The battered party feverishly ascended the curved ramp of the tower, the champion of Pelor halted a couple of levels below, struggling to contain the evil oozing out of the purple-black ball of energy. Wearily they entered onto an open platform …
Valiant Truth

He strode with an abnormal grace …
Court Friends
The young elven female flowed down the ornately carved halls, panels glistening with the years of magical touch, beautiful and,normally,calming here within the private quarters of one of the princely families of Calethria. Singing softly to herself, she glanced into various rooms as she passed, slowing only long enough to determine if what, or who, …
An Eventide’s Journey
His body swayed gently with the minor motions of his new mount, as it slowly picked its way along the trail, the hoofbeats muffled by the damp earth and spring growth spreading its tendrils along the ground. The mocking jays, as well as chirps of at least four other types of birds, echoed through the …
A Royal Introduction
The clatter and whir of the wooden practice lathes rang through the clearing. Three youthful looking elves ducked and tumbled and jumped throughout the small area, whipping wooden weapons in rapid circles of attack and defense.
