Find Something You Love to do, and You’ll Never Work Another Day in Your Life

In any of his forms, be it dragon or human, he loved the feel of the money and almost … Continue reading Find Something You Love to do, and You’ll Never Work Another Day in Your Life
Say What You Will, Parson, but it Brings in the Parishioners
Word of what had happened to the most notorious lich in Partum spread quickly. There weren't many corners of the continent that hadn't heard of the Diosian Lodge and among those that had suffered from the atrocities the liches unleashed on the region nearly everyone could name the foul entity that had brought them such … Continue reading Say What You Will, Parson, but it Brings in the Parishioners
To the Victor Goes the Spoils
After dropping off the chests in the capitol to be accounted for by the High Treasurer, Archduchess Lersha von Slothjem-Kovak piloted the little spelljammer called "The Troublemaker" with its seven passengers to Schönbrunn, the capital of Geldenreich.

Awaiting the Ship (Part 4)
This evening as the sun was setting Selkirk arrived in the little garden in Havre d'Anges the same as he had every evening to meet with Marla.

Awaiting the Ship (Part 2)
The following evening Marla was brought out into the garden by the attendants a little earlier so that the aged dark elven lady could see her first sunset.

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.
