Kor'Tunni is arguably the most powerful god in the current hierarchy, despite her husband Aeruus' position as leader of the pantheon. As the goddess of magic, she can ban the use of magic by any being of lesser power than she. For the record, there is no one she can't ban. Even the Demon Kings … Continue reading Tome of the Highfather: The Goddess of Magic (part 2)
Author: Y.F. Desince, II
I am a storyteller; a bard incarnate. I craft worlds to entertain, to terrify, to make you feel something real. Entire civilizations rise and fall at the stroke of a pen. Let me take you on a journey that reframes the familiar and dares you to see deeper.
I am a father of eight; though only two share my blood, all hold my heart. My youngest, born with cerebral palsy, carries a weight I can hardly imagine, yet bears it with more grace than I ever could. She grounds me. My family is my center.
The stories I tell — the magic, the monsters, the myths, the madness — all of it, in the end, is for them.

Here Be Dragons – Pyrax
In the very northern part of the Kingdom of Cheshire, northwest to be exact, lie the Jagged Hills. It is considered the wilds in every sense of the word. It technically does not sit within the traditional boundaries of Cheshire. However, due to the number of enemies in this region, particularly orcs and ogres, there is … Continue reading Here Be Dragons – Pyrax

Annals of the Moon – Dhampir
There are many things to fear in the night. Losing one's footing. Bandit in the shadows. Howls in the night. Blood red eyes that track your every move. The dead that still move. As a member of the Argent Moon, we are the last stand between the forces of darkness, and the innocent mortals they … Continue reading Annals of the Moon – Dhampir
Tome of the Highfather: The God Of Strife
I wish I could say I dislike some of my roles as Highfather. Or more accurately, the gods I have to serve. I cannot. Part of the magic that changes which god I serve every year, also in some respect changes me. It doesn't make me a tyrant, if I happen to be the archpriest … Continue reading Tome of the Highfather: The God Of Strife

Fear not, as long as I, Draen Do'gra am teaching this class, those who survive … Continue reading Arcanum 101: Infernal Magic
Chord’s World Tour – Forest of Souls (Part 3)
Almost immediately after leaving the relative safety of the Grove of the Elder, I felt as if I were being watched. It didn't help that after taking a few steps, the Grove was completely hidden from me. Unless the Elder wanted me to come back, I would never find it again. Without that comfort, the … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Forest of Souls (Part 3)
Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (Part 2): The Elder
I don't know how long I stumbled through the accursed forest. Minutes felt like hours. Hours felt like days. Always I felt eyes on me. On occasion a group of zombies, or a pack of ghouls would burst from the bushes and attack. They were no match for me or Symphony. I only knew I … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (Part 2): The Elder
