Ah me, One of my favorite kingdoms to visit is the realm of Cheshire. I recommend this kingdom highly if you're not from here. One of the reasons is they are the most tolerant of "monstrous" races of all the human kingdoms. To begin with, Cheshire is the jewel of the Great Kingdoms, which comprises … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Cheshire

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
Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (1 of 3): Rune Elves
During the Triad War, when the dwarf and elf kingdoms fought the dragon imperial forces and each other for supremacy of Duir'Aion, the dragon overlords realized they had a problem. The dwarves and elves were too many in number. Worse the sun god Aeruus had bestowed them both the power of the paladin as well … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (1 of 3): Rune Elves
Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 1)
I recently received an invitation from a being known as the Elder, regarding the Forest of Souls. As a collector of stories this one was a prize I had long wanted. Besides, you don't turn down anyone who has the audacity to name himself the Elder. Doing that will shorten your lifespan considerably. The Elder … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 1)
Chord’s World Tour: Elves
Ahh, elves. Are there any creatures more beautiful, elegant and deadly than the elves? One could argue fey, but technically speaking, elves are descended from those magic folk too. While they no longer have ties to the fairy realm, a touch of magic still resides among the race. The elves of Duir'Aion are a varied … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour: Elves
Chord’s World Tour – Cheshire (part 2)
Cheshire is my favorite of the human kingdoms to visit. It just might be my favorite kingdom to visit period. The primary reason for that is that I'm not shot at as I'm approaching. Even without my reputation preceding me - and you can take that anyway you desire - Cheshirans while cautious tend to … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Cheshire (part 2)
Chord’s World Tour – Hammon
*Not sure why I hadn't thought of it before, but I really like using Chord to tell the stories of the various things in my world. Hope you guys are enjoying it too.* The kingdom of Hammon sits directly above Cheshire, along with Vorlaria, pinching the upstart kindgom of Cerak between the three of them. … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Hammon
Chord’s World Tour – Cheshire (part 1)
Cheshire is arguably the most powerful of the Great Kingdoms, a collection of kingdoms in the south east portion of Tanaraq. The other kingdoms are Vorlaria, Hammon and Cerak. Cheshire is ruled by the noble and just King Cedric Armer XI. King Armer XI is married to the beautiful Selene Armbrose, niece of the Duke … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Cheshire (part 1)
