The room went silent as a tomb when Draen floated to the front of the classroom. He gazed out at the students, something between annoyance and amusement etched on his ashen grey face.

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. I’m a fantastic dancer now, mind you — practice makes the difference. That’s the truth of any art.

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
