2023-04-22 15:04:53 +0000 UTC View PostThere exists an old Vanaran saying.
One that is unfashionably short by Vanaran standards, but carries a weight and a meaning that is undeniable to all that are taught it. However, as with most of these old adages and sayings, its meaning truly is subjective, and highly dependent on the life...
2023-04-18 15:11:24 +0000 UTC View PostI felt like I was starting a Castle and Wyverns campaign in reverse.
