Hilloy tries not to fidget in his seat as the ship sails. The young elf would have never expected to have to take a boat to a building, but that's exactly what he's doing! In fact, he's been doing it for close to a month now, and each day is a new chance to learn from the masters.

2023-10-17 01:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostTo the delvers of Thedeim, the dungeon is an oddity. Simply being cooperative makes him a strange dungeon, and even the ordinary citizenry of Fourdock is pretty sure his growth has been quick. But for all that the outsiders find Thedeim strange, the insiders feel similarly.

The sunlight almost seems to make the possibilities sparkle like dew on the ephemeral tapestry of Fate, and it makes him appreciate his attunement to that particular affinity all the more. 2023-09-18 00:03:48 +0000 UTC View Post
So… that’s less than optimal. The invaders are building up their forces with each passing minute by using some kind of sleep or hibernation to conserve their internal fuel. Even worse: there’s something big coming, and I get the feeling it’d be a bad idea to let it get to the ...
