I have been researching my crystal blade, which I have named Symphony. I now firmly believe the weapon to be an artifact—or, more accurately, a fragment of one. I suspect Symphony is but a shard of its former glory. The proof is currently sheathed on my back. When I acquired it, the blade was much … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Of Ivy and Iron

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. Painters, smiths, sculptors, singers — the great ones … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Elves (revisited)
Lorr: A Treatise on Elves (part 1)
Good evening all. My name is Xan'Dyr Darkclaw, of House Bloodraven, Master Librarian of Lorr. I do not think think I am the last of the Shadowravens, but I have not traveled into the Pit to find out for myself. Thank you for coming for tonight's seminar. Running the great library's day to day can … Continue reading Lorr: A Treatise on Elves (part 1)
Something borrowed, Something new
Duir'Aion, the world of my creation is a great source of pride for me. I have had the pleasure of fleshing it out for decades. For the longest time, I just used it for background in my D&D games. It occurred to me to write and published them, only recently. After an attempt to publish … Continue reading Something borrowed, Something new
Chord’s World Tour – Shire
Cheshire is known as the jewel of the Great Kingdoms. If that is the case, then Shire is the perfect diamond in that collection that makes up Cheshire. Seat of the kingdom, this massive city is where the Argent Throne resides. King Armer XI and his wife Queen Selene Armbrose reside in Shire Castle, as … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Shire
Chord’s World Tour – Castin
Castin is a duchy in flux. It is second in wealth only to Shire itself. That is due to the massive numbers of guilds that called the region home. The current Duke, Soren Koranta has taken ill, and hasn't been seen publicly in months. His wife, the Duchess Mira Koranta has taken to running the … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Castin
The Fallen: Meet the Cast
Continuing from last post, here are the rest of the protagonists from the Fallen: Loric Quivall - Spire elf archer, one of the famed Gryphon riders of Kor'Korai. Claiming self-imposed exile from the elven city of Kor'Korai, Loric instead seeks adventure as distraction. The rumors of demons are enough to pique the elf's curiosity. Gregor Ataxia … Continue reading The Fallen: Meet the Cast
The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 2)
Draen was originally a drow, or dark elf. And for the longest time, that was how I envisioned him. That was before I started true world crafting, and not world copying. Back then I wrote my stories and games in a modified Forgotten Realms campaign world. My love of drow led to Draen being one … Continue reading The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 2)
The Rising Darkness
I am quite proud of my Duir'Aion. It is a vibrant world filled with peoples of all kinds. From the noble Shirans of the kingdom of Cheshire, to the naval supremacy of the minotaurs of Maelthas, to the xenophobic undersea kingdoms of the sea elves, the entire world pulses with life. And violence. And death. … Continue reading The Rising Darkness
The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 1)
Every setting needs The Big Bad. Not a big bad, THE! Star Wars, Darth Vader was a big bad. He was awesome, but the Emperor was The Big Bad (though he went out like a chump). Harry Potter? Voldemort. Breakfast Club? Richard Vernon. See, you need a TBB. So my world has been in constant … Continue reading The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 1)
