"I was informed this morning that the curriculum states I must take the class on three outings to places of significant magical value. Well, truth be told, they wanted five.

Tome of the Highfather: The God of Fate
I was a man. A high priest. Not by choice but by politics. I would have preferred to remain with my flock, teaching of the light of Aeruus. Perhaps because of my piousness, or more likely my more open mind, the title of Highfather was transferred to me when the previous one was killed.

Arcanum 101: Artifacts

"Interesting," he said quietly, "I would have thought the numbers would dwindle for my class, not grow." Six months into his term … Continue reading Arcanum 101: Artifacts
Chord’s World Tour – Elves (revisited)
When I first set quill to parchment and called myself a chronicler, it was like learning a new dance. Clumsy, off-beat, laughable to any with an ear for rhythm.

The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 2)
The next tier of power up from demigod status, are the lesser gods. This tier is one of constant conflict, yet of relative peace, for diplomacy rules here. The reason for this "controlled chaos" is two-fold. To begin with, there are rivals on many sides. For example, Torgash calls himself the god of War, the … Continue reading The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 2)
