Alex stepped out from the Warped Embassy and into the Mirrorlands version of Mirrorwane. Before him rose a reflection of the town. Every single building had been copied, though in typical Mirrorlands fashion, the copies weren’t exactly perfect renditions of their original counterparts. 2025-11-03 16:00:22 +0000 UTC View Post
Thane scratched his chin with the back of his quill. The words on the parchment in front of him were starting to swim. He rubbed his eyes and shifted his position as he dug through his mind for thoughts that wouldn’t come. A yawn forced its way out from between his lips.
Reluctantly, Than...

2025-11-03 16:00:19 +0000 UTC View Post“Is this spot sufficient for us to discuss matters of the town?” Rhyss asked, his eye drifting over all the people behind Alex and Claire. “Or should we move to a private location where our discussion cannot be overheard?”
“They’re all joining the town,” Alex said. He paused f...
2025-11-02 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re the one that took the blueprint?” Alex exclaimed, his eyes affixed on the slate in Claire’s hand.
“Who else would have?” Claire asked, arching an eyebrow.
Now that she mentioned it, Alex did suppose it would have been pretty odd for just about anyone other than him...

2025-10-30 16:22:52 +0000 UTC View PostEliana pursed her lips as she studied the wedding veil she’d been working on. She wasn’t actually sure who it was for yet. For that matter, she wasn’t sure if it was for anyone at all. Not every piece of clothing was meant to be worn.
It had been over twelve hours since she’d sat do...

Eldritch Bestie is getting a print graphic novel release through Barnes & Nobles! I’ve now got to try and farm some preorders to convince them to properly distribute it throughout the US. Apparently I only need something like 30 or so to show that there’s interest, so i...
2025-10-30 00:23:22 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone watched Eleven in silence for a short while. It wasn’t that a single one of them had misunderstood her. At this point, they were all aware of just how significant Sunsetting was. The difference in Arwin alone was more than enough to make that abundantly clear.
But there was only ...
2025-10-29 16:50:34 +0000 UTC View PostVix returned to the Infernal Armory a day later than she’d promised to. Arwin barely even noticed her entrance. He and Wallace stood before a wall covered with scribbled papers bearing dozens and dozens of different ideas and discarded designs.
The two of them had been in the armory for j...
2025-10-29 16:49:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe tides of fate ebbed. They beat against the shores of Orlen’s mind, their rhythm as unreadable as the stars in the night sky. There was knowledge in the lapping of the waves. Whispers of the future and glimpses of what was to come were swallowed somewhere deep within the ocean of what was to...

2025-10-28 16:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostHaley didn’t stick around for long after the deal had been agreed upon. She simply promised to return with the Dwarven Council’s human guild representative in two weeks and asked to ensure the grand opening of the Auction House was delayed until then.

2025-10-28 16:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostArwin finished Anna’s new armor in just about four days of work. With Vix and Wallace backing him up, it turned out to be a fairly straightforward project. The hardest part had probably been ensuring Vix got a good feeling for what they were doing so that she wouldn’t have any surprises when ...
2025-10-27 17:14:45 +0000 UTC View PostArwin had only managed to take two steps into the Devil’s Den before Lillia emerged from the darkness to arrive before his group.
“You have good timing,” Lillia said with a relieved grin. “Everyone okay?”

The door of the Red Door — a name that Marv the Innkeeper had stumbled over enough times to know it had been a bad choice — swung open. Marv flinched at the noise. He hurriedly sat straight up, adjusting his collar and plastering a well-practiced professional expression across his features. 2025-10-27 17:13:15 +0000 UTC View Post
Somehow, Claire managing to wring even more points out of Shawn than Alex had didn’t actually surprise him in the slightest.

It was several seconds before Shawn answered. The giant observed Alex silently, his large eyes seemingly trying to bore straight into his soul.
“I am bound,” Shawn finally said.
“Oh, you have to be shitting me.” Alex threw ...
2025-10-26 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post“Is this meant to be an intimidation tactic?” Haley asked as Lillia sat down across from her in the back room of the Devil’s Den.

Vivian blinked. A trembling voice had cut through her peaceful nap. It was one she vaguely remembered. Not because it had any particular importance. On the contrary, she only recalled this voice because of its owner’s complete lack of importance.

That wasn’t really too big of a problem. The mercenaries were certainly skilled, there was no doubt about that. But the Blacktongues clearly hadn’t expected an enormous amount of resistance. Compared to the teams Art had gone up agai...

2025-10-20 15:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostShawn clapped his hands together. But, strangely enough, absolutely noise came from the impact. What could only be described as a wave of dark silence washed over the room. It swallowed all sound and snuffed out every light in its wake until nothing remained.
And then it was gone.

He staggered as huge cracks split through the ground, racing across the stone faster than his eyes could follow them. It took everything he had to keep his balance in the face of the immense tremors shaking the earth under his feet.
