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. I’m a fantastic dancer now, mind you — practice makes the difference. That’s the truth of any art. Painters, smiths, sculptors, singers — the great ones … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Elves (revisited)

Chord’s World Tour – The Dragon Gems
Ah my dear readers. I have been remiss in my duties. I have told wonderful stories about places, and wonderful stories about people. I have forgotten to tell you stories about things. Well I shall rectify that going forward and what better place to start than one of the most powerful artifacts in the world, … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Dragon Gems
Annals of the Moon – Vampires (part 1)
Oh, I'm sure if I asked you about vampires, you'd tell me the juicy good stuff. Immortal, mostly. Exceptionally handsome or beautiful. Eyes that can pierce and charm your very soul. Of course there is the hunger for blood thing, and weaknesses to sunlight, silver, holy weapons and wooden stakes. So if in your enthusiasm, … Continue reading Annals of the Moon – Vampires (part 1)
Arcanum 101: Primal Magic
Good morning class. I would have thought the numbers would dwindle more by now. I can only conclude that I, Draen Do'Gra, am more fascinating than I would have thought. Either that, or it is the mortal curiosity when death is imminent. I have seen more mortals at the site of a death, be it … Continue reading Arcanum 101: Primal Magic
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
Arcanum 101: Dragon Magic
Good morning class. Today, there has been a slight change of plans. The original lesson I planned to teach you was a general overview of dragon magic. At the end I would have given you the pleasure of watching me cast one of those spells. This morning I was interrupted by your young classmate Uldeer. … Continue reading Arcanum 101: Dragon Magic
Chord’s World Tour: Cheshire’s Places of Interest
As I've said before, Cheshire is a beautiful kingdom, made all the more marvelous that is almost completely a feat of human ingenuity. Granted, they did get aid from the dwarves and elves, but most of the blood, sweat, and tears, that made Cheshire the "Jewel of the Great Kingdoms" were human. I could go … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour: Cheshire’s Places of Interest
Chord’s World Tour: The Great Kingdoms (part 1)
I have been all over the world and back, in search of knowledge, lore, and of course adventure. Three necessary ingredients for a grand story. My collection of Dirges continues to grow, as more personalities of questionable morals seek me out to tell their story. My favorite locales of course are the Great Kingdoms. I … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour: The Great Kingdoms (part 1)
Gods of Duir’Aion (part 6)
Standing apart from the natural order of divinity, but no less a part of the grand order now, are the self titled Demon Kings. The Demon Kings are relatively new to the cosmic order of things, but not, nor have they ever been ignorant of them. The infernal masters of the Pit have long aspired … Continue reading Gods of Duir’Aion (part 6)
Gods of Duir’Aion (part 5)
The last tier of divine might are the Titans. As stated earlier, the typical mortal does not know or understand the difference between the Greater Gods and the Titans. However there is a substantial difference. Titans cannot die. A Greater God can be killed, or even absorbed by a more powerful god (or Titan). Said … Continue reading Gods of Duir’Aion (part 5)
