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. "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. 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
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
Here Be Dragons – Pyrax
In the very northern part of the Kingdom of Cheshire, northwest to be exact, lie the Jagged Hills. It is considered the wilds in every sense of the word. It technically does not sit within the traditional boundaries of Cheshire. However, due to the number of enemies in this region, particularly orcs and ogres, there is … Continue reading Here Be Dragons – Pyrax
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
Chord’s World Tour – Forest of Souls (Part 3)
Almost immediately after leaving the relative safety of the Grove of the Elder, I felt as if I were being watched. It didn't help that after taking a few steps, the Grove was completely hidden from me. Unless the Elder wanted me to come back, I would never find it again. Without that comfort, the … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Forest of Souls (Part 3)
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
Arcanum 101: Types of Magic
Good morning class. It is good to see some many of you here, bright eyed and eager for knowledge as it were. The fear coming off you is quite palpable. It is as it should be. After all, I am the dreaded Draen Do'Gra. You may have heard that my fellow archmages have decided that … Continue reading Arcanum 101: Types of Magic
Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 2)
There are few things in this world that I am generally afraid of. No, Draen Do'Gra does not cause me fear. Neither does his exquisite wife Kor'rieanna Auvryani the dark elf queen. They can destroy me in an instant, but they have no reason to do so. They have my respect and adoration, especially the … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 2)
