1144 - Tentative Negotiations

True to their word, the three wardens sent a relatively powerful group of mages to escort Leon to the main keep, where they would hold their negotiations.  The escorts were quiet, but at least...

1143 - Seventh Iron Order

The castle of the Seventh Iron Order was an imposing thing that loomed over the landscape around it.  It was an enormous construction made primarily of dull black stone, its largest tower reac...

1142 - Mountainfall

Without the power of the lance keeping the mountains aloft, the enormous landmasses began to plummet to the earth.  Kavad’s Lance itself shook terribly as the magic around it dissipated; the...

1141 - The Lance's Master

The map of the Far West is now up on my website. You can check it out here!

Thanks for reading and suppo...

1139 - Kavad's Lance VI

Leon stared at Grandin and Aladir, nonplussed in the wake of Grandin’s effective declaration that he and his brother were ready to climb Kavad’s Lance.  Aladir looked unsteady on his feet ...

1138 - Kavad's Lance V

Thoughts of the Wailing Dirge filled Leon’s mind as he led his people out of the maze, especially of the ‘Lord’ rune upon its forehead.  It had been ambiguous enough back then just what ...

1137 - Kavad's Lance IV

For a short moment, silence fell upon the battlefield as the beast’s lifeblood soaked the soil of the floating island.  As it became clear the creature was dead, however, Leon’s people spr...

1136 - Kavad's Lance III

The wind lifting Leon raged around him, but not nearly enough to counter the inexorable pull of gravity.  Under normal conditions, the fall that Leon was threatened with was nothing to worry a...

1135 - Kavad's Lance II

The forests that blanketed Kavad’s Lance weren’t quite like what Leon was used to.  They were narrow, broken, and rocky, though still grew quite thickly.  Animal and bird calls still ...

1134 - Kavad's Lance I

Leon’s blood sang at the prospect of not only an adventure on this mountain but also that of a good hunt.  Some mysterious monster that Grandin wanted dead, and then they could go straight t...

1133 - Grandin

The morning soon came, but despite Pilos’ assurances, his promised guide hadn’t arrived.

“Wait just a little longer, King Leon, I’ll have him fetched,” Pilos promised.

Leon, a...

1132 - Lancefoot

Unlike the approach to Redspark, no welcoming parties came out to meet Leon’s group on their final approach to Lancefoot.  From what he could see from the air, no one even seemed to notice h...

1131 - Leaving Redspark

“What an unusual thing…” the Thunderbird said as she marveled in human form at the branch and seed of the Stormborn Oak in Leon’s soul realm.

Leon himself stood nearby, quietly contem...

1130 - Oaken Gratitude

Some distance was made between Leon’s party and the Stormborn Oak—he didn’t know just what hitting the thing with purple lightning meant to create thunder wood might do, so caution was warran...

1129 - Sasan

The werewolf had returned to human form in less than a minute thanks to the enchantment carved into his flesh by Sasan.  Leon stared in amazement, hardly able to believe what was before his ey...

1128 - Stormborn Oak

“You sure about bringin’ that thing with us?” Davin asked Leon apprehensively as they moved through the forest with the werewolf in tow.  Restrained though it was by Valeria, Leon couldn...

Thank you ...

1126 - Redspark Forest II

The ape-centipede thing, which the weaker guide had called a ‘black hunter’, screeched as Leon summoned silver-blue lightning and struck it repeatedly.  Befitting a creature that called th...

1125 - Redspark Forest I

The outskirts of the Redspark Forest were quite peaceful.  Wind poured in from the storm deep in the interior, but with so many trees in the way, it was little more than a pleasant breeze clos...

1124 - Redspark

“This is a beautiful town,” Valeria said admiringly as Watcher Yurkij escorted them over the roofs and squares of Redspark.

“Your words are much appreciated, Queen Valeria,” Yurkij pl...

1123 - Future Course

The Stormborn Oak.

The name of Leon’s next destination enticed him greatly, even if he had yet to perceive it in any way.  He wished he’d picked Jamshid’s brain about it more befor...

1122 - Simmering Shatufan

Shatufan buzzed with nervous energy after Jamshid made his address.  He focused on the ‘failures’ of Manuchehr and the need to ‘aid our neighbors to the south in their defense of the Sto...

1121 - Direct Action

From within his soul realm, Leon meditated, Iron Pride slowly spinning just above his hand.  He’d met with Jamshid’s friends, all of whom turned out to be important and ambitious men withi...

1120 - Jamshid

While he’d not expected the full support of Shatufan, Leon was still disappointed by the results of Jamshid’s initial attempts to support him.  Jamshid, however, attempted to mitigate this...

1119 - Shatufan

On their final approach to Shatufan, Leon had a choice to make.  It was a large, walled city, and its long curtain walls were heavily enchanted.  Despite that, he could punch through thos...

1118 - War of Establishment in Stasis

Over two days, Terris’ forces grew more and more in the south.  Hundreds of arks flew over the coast and dozens of enormous creatures swam in the wall of water further into the sea.  Su...

1117 - War of Establishment XIV

I did a little more work on the map I showed off not long ago. There are a few places that still need names, but the geography for this region is done. Download link at the bottom of the chapter! 2024-09-09 15:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post

1116 - War of Establishment XIII

The image of himself in the mirror was one fully healed.  His arm was burn-free and covered in fresh skin, and though his fingers remained a little stiff, Leon had regained full mobility in th...

1115 - War of Establishment XII

The pain that Leon felt from his burned arm grew worse and worse as he led his group back through the misty veil.  Anastasios and Eva met him partway to the southern Talon, but by then, he was...
