She was known to those who sought her as "The Sickle", and this was the nickname her closest confidants used when speaking to her. She had leaned heavily into the role of a lone wolf early in her life and it hadn't been easy to break out of old habits even as her circumstances changed … Continue reading This Sickle is No Tool

Building a Better Mouse Trap
There is a common misconception in life that the most frustrating thing is an adventurer trying to get past a cunningly diabolical trap designed to do them unspeakable harm. This might be true from the adventurer's point of view to be sure, but it isn't accurate. It is far more frustrating to be the person … Continue reading Building a Better Mouse Trap
Everyone Wants to be a Villain
The shadowy figure sat dejectedly in the elegantly carved and gilded chair at the head of a long, equally well-adorned table. Three candelabras sat spaced well apart along the length of the table, but their dim reddish flames were more for creepy atmosphere than illumination. The walls and ceiling of this room were barely visible … Continue reading Everyone Wants to be a Villain
A Gathering of Elven Kings
Here in the gardens of Havre d'Anges the rest of the world and its troubles seemed terribly far removed. This was a tranquil spot, guarded more by the divine power of God than any means employed by the elves themselves. While technically a part of Fanolania it wasn't subject to the normal rules of earthly … Continue reading A Gathering of Elven Kings
Abattoir
The flickering candles scarcely illuminated what seemed to be a shadowy, sinister cathedral. The pews were filled with wraith-like forms interspersed with what looked to be people cloaked in heavy, dark colored hooded robes. This was after all a somber and important occasion and all in attendance were cognizant of the weight this moment carried. … Continue reading Abattoir
A Troubling Turn of Events
Lord Lucien Gachet did not have the most glamorous job in Fanolania. In fact, it was hardly the most notable task anywhere.

For this he had been rewarded with the job of the Lord Warden of the … Continue reading A Troubling Turn of Events

The Herzgraf of Slothjemia, Shr Archibald Speedblade II, rarely travelled by any means other than the black dragon unless it was to visit foreign states. His black dragon was named Grizzilla, and she was the most revered of all of her kind in Slothjemia's arsenal. The Herzgraf was extraordinarily fond of Grizzilla and it was … Continue reading The Carriage
A Show of Divine Power
Callidus Magna had left the security and opulence of his sprawling palace in order to personally witness for himself the drama that was soon to transpire in the northern realm of Escaut. He had been alerted to the developing situation by his most capable underling, the lich that was now being referred to in the … Continue reading A Show of Divine Power
A Gift Befitting a King
There were fewer attendants in this version of the Divine Hall of the Supreme Pontiff and Imperator Callidus Magna than there were in the other, more commonly used one but this was still an impressive locale. Things were a bit skewed, though. The colors tended to lean more towards grays and dull metallic features were … Continue reading A Gift Befitting a King
Gathering Intelligence
Lord Verrat was not by any estimate a fun-loving happy sort of fellow, and the occasion never seemed to matter. Dour and professional to a fault, this dedicated warrior always seemed to be on the move and in a perpetual state of simmering rage. Only in the presence of his lord, the Viceroy, was Lord … Continue reading Gathering Intelligence
