"Rezan the Chainer. Dead or Alive. Last spotted in the countryside between Oswill and The Dale." She had read it a hundred times over and still her nerves were never calmed. The white haired Dwarf rolled up the bounty poster and stuffed it into her pack, the rustling of her chainmail making...

With a thunderous crash, the wine glass shattered into a thousand pieces, joining the jagged snowfall on the floor, gathered like dust on a shelf. "Shitfaced bastard!" Expelled in one breath came the frustrated voice of a small woman. "Running out of creative ones?" A bemused man responded...

Silence. That was the worst part of it. Alone in a sea of stained sand she sat, clutching a symbol of Yara, the newly acknowledged God of Life. With her eyes closed tight as she murmured a prayer for those she was too late to save. "Bringer of Life, Daughter of the Blackened Heart, take care...

The video feed flickered to life, the static cutting out to reveal a young Orcish girl sitting in, what can only be described as squalor. A Street Mage in the truest of senses, she had telltale runic tattoos along her arms that lightly glowed with arcane purpose. She was surrounded by piles of...

"Hurry up, this place is untouched for a reason." She frowned. The woman sent a scowled glance at the ruins that surrounded them. She was tall and burly, yet had clear signs of malnourishment. Her umber cheeks were ever so slightly gaunt and her limbs were far thinner than they should be. On...

"Oooohhh…" The pink-haired woman yawned, her hands stretched out wide in an effort to energize herself. She stood up from the comfortable swing chair, slowly returning to reality once more. Taking the moment to adjust her lab coat very slightly, she looked over the desk. The papers and folders...

Introduction I watched the pale winter sun set over Boston. Slow, but inevitable, until it finally dipped behind the city and the rays of sunlight caressing my cold face were filtered through the massive skyscrapers dominating the background. Sunlight reflected off of the pristine snow covering...

Weeping 🢕 🕷️|🦊 🢗 It was surprising how quiet everything was, now that the rain had stopped. No rumbling of cars passing on the fractured, unnavigable streets. No chatter of locals or tourists either, with everyone focused on leaving the city. None of the attractions and advertisements for shops...
