The gods of Duir'Aion are a collection of powerful entities. For the most part they tend to behave like family.

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.

Chord’s World Tour – The Bloody Skulls
When a civilized race considers orcs, to a fault they all think the same thing. Vicious tusked warriors that have been raiding and pillaging for centuries. Typically orcs are organized into tribes. Each one named after something threatening, either their leader (usually) or their surroundings. Tug's Tusks, or Dragonspine orcs, for example. Generally speaking, orcs … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Bloody Skulls
