Added 2022-11-03 04:50:03 +0000 UTC

Messed up the last poll, here we go again:

- (Kemetrias) Blood in the Green Depths: Apchek is a newly minted knight, just given his suit of paper battle armor, when he’s sent on a patrol of the Grass Sea. It’s supposed to be quiet and routine, but when Bezan rebels bring down his ship, Apchek and his squad find themselves being hunted through the depths of the sea.

Unfortunately for Apchek and his squad, there are worse things than enemy armor in the green depths.

- (Iopis) Replacements: A blacksmith starts insisting everyone they love have been replaced with malicious dopplegangers, and a healer must figure out what’s happened before it’s too late.

- (Iopis) Out of Sight: A junior architect becomes convinced that one of the most beloved architects in the city has figured out how to hide architectural malfeasance from seers- but no one is willing to believe him, and his entire career is threatened by the vengeful senior architect.

- (Limnus) A Higher Sky: The ancestors spoke of the stars in their writings, and Ikhail, on leaving the creche, makes a decision: One way or another, she’s going to breach the sulfur sky and see the stars, even if she has to dedicate her life to it.
