Wren Bonus Story: I Would. (female Wren)

"I can't believe I agreed to this," I mutter under my breath. I glance around the lavish enclave I'm sat in, perched on the edge of a too-plush couch to keep myself from sinking into it. We've been waiting for an hour, and I'm steadily regretting coming here.

"Technically Adaan agreed to it for you," Wren corrects, handing me a crystal glass and clinking it with hers all in one motion. "Cheer ...

Rin Bonus Story: Pulling Your Punches (nonbinary Rin)

“You’re pulling your punches.”

I pant the words a hand’s breadth from Rin’s face, and there’s no way to miss the annoyed expression it sparks on their face.

“No, I’m not,” they reply flatly. They turn and walk without further comment to where we’ve set our gear, adjusting the straps on their gloves and rummaging in their pack until their find their canteen.

Monthly Extra: A letter from Valos, the Badlands city.

A letter addressed to one Medrin Isar, Mage of Expert Rank of the City of Arcanum.

Dear Meri,

I regret to inform you that the City of Valos is everything we'd hoped and feared it would be. The journey here saw my driver dodging Fey the size of mountains, and we were correct in our guess that their domains are not so easily defined as the Dust Lords of Leas.

The Visitor and the Magician: Extended Playlist (The Magician)

The public version (Human) and this version (Magician) have one song in common as a nod to the traits the two share, and one of the possible endings. 

Fun fact: for the Halloween Jam I had to tone this chapter of the Fey Minigame down, in terms of lore, but the Human and Magician are both Avir. Or at least... the Magician was Avir. Even I'm not entirely sure what they've become.

Book 1: The Welcome Pack Deleted Scene 1

Bonus Rin Story: The Point Is... (nonbinary Rin)

Well, that could’ve gone better.

I’m waiting with Rin in a narrow alley that dead ends where two buildings meet, both of us dressed in the sandy brown colors of the bricks that make up most of this district, the better to blend in with the terrain. We’re waiting to meet someone, but that doesn’t mean that someone is waiting to meet us.

Bonus Wren Story: Lab Safety (female Wren)

Wren’s study is buzzing with activity today, despite the fact that she and I are the only ones in it. I stopped by on a whim today, flopping down on the couch to chat with her, her quick mind handling both work and a full conversation with a dexterity I can't help but admire. Eventually I convinced her to let me join in – I’m not exactly invested in her current project, but playing assistant i...

Keo Bonus Story: Daydreaming Again (female MC)

The gardens in Leas hold a particular kind of welcome at sunset. Everyone hurries to be nowhere, children’s playful shouts echoing louder, parents’ conversations growing more animated, the vendors at the edges of the parks selling more fruit and drinks than they have in the past hour. Like everyone is soaking up the last light of the day, hoping that if they live brighter and louder it will cont...
