Monsters & Magical Creatures: Avural Ug'dol

Terra is home to myriad magical creatures, and the continent of Avural Ug’dol is no exception. Some of these creatures appear to be relatives of non-magical animals, while others can only be described as monsters. While many are dangerous, several of these creatures are known to provide valuable components for spell casting and potion brewing, with their spoils fetching a lot of gold at market.

The Journal of Khazak, Chapter 7

Aerisday,  Piscea 20th, 4623

I must apologize, journal, for being away for so long. It has been nearly six months since my last entry, and I certainly picked an eventful time to stop writing. Let me catch you up.

In the days that followed our violent encounter with the Ragebloods, I and the rest of the Proudhunters prepared for the worst. We expected serious retaliation, and were even preparing to pack up and move the entire camp before they had a ch...

MasterSlave, Chapter 2

Hmmm, maybe the red paddle? No, the new blue one! He’ll love it.

I’m standing in my playroom, looking over my wall of torture implements and planning out my afternoon. Earlier this morning I made plans with Jerry, one of my regular subs, to stop by after he finishes work for an evening play session. He should be here any minute now.

Jerry is a good boy, and one I’ve known for a few years now. He’s about ten years my junior, and works in IT for a company based down...

Marriage Customs: V'rok'sh Tah'lj

Marriage is one of the world’s longest standing traditions, and one that exists in almost every culture - that is just as true on Terra as it is Earth. Of course, we are well aware that it historically was not an equal partnership, with the “bride” being considered little more than the property of the groom. But as time has evolved, so too has marriage.

The orcs of V’rok’sh Tah’lj ...

Ours, Chapter 2

Cory awoke groggily the next morning. At least, he thought it was morning. Peeking his eyes open, he saw that the sun was up and probably had been for some time. He was on the pull-out couch with Derek while Nic slept on the other couch in the cabin’s common area. His head was still fuzzy and his mouth was dry, but at least he wasn’t hungover. He pulled his blanket over his head, trying to force himself back asleep, the sounds of Nic’s light snoring coming from the other couch. Slowly, ...

“Aww c’mon, stick around a little more and have another one with me!”

“No can do. I told ya that was my last one.”

“Ditto. Unlike you, we’ve both got work in the morning.”

I give Ken and Dion an exaggerated pout, but I know it's no use. Not that I blame them. It’s probably a good thing that we’ve all gotten more responsible as we’ve gotten older, our late nights at the bar becoming a rarer and rarer occurrence. Honestly, I should probably call it a nigh...

Brull's Workshop

Brull Flamaul is a maker and purveyor of fine crafts. Very, very specific crafts.And though not a spellcaster himself, he has studied a lot of magical theory, particularly in regards to enchantments. He has sought to use that knowledge in his creations - and he creates a lot of things.

I’m talking about sex toys of course - magical sex toys. Brull may not cast the enchantment spells himself,...

Caged Among the Stars, Chapter 13

“Alright, I need to head out or I’ll be late.”

“Wait, where are you going?”

It’s been about four months since Kaylin’s day before the tribunal. Since the two of us were thrown together. And even in the aftermath of all of that, I have to say it’s been pretty great.

Kaylin and I have shared a room since the night of Malprin’s attack. He tried to go back to his own, a few times, but just never quite felt comfortable being in that room again. Though he wouldn'...

Nylan & Ragnar, Chapter 5

Hi everyone. So, I know I said before that I only had those two stories for you but well... Something big just happened. Something so big I have to tell you about it right now!

It started this morning. Well, it started a few days ago (apparently), but I only found out about it this morning. And I wasn’t happy (at first).

“What do you mean you’re going fishing with Arik?” I complained over breakfast. “We’re supposed to go see that play later today!”

“Thank you gentlemen for meeting with us this morning, though I do wish it was under different circumstances.”

“You and me both, Commandant.”

It’s late in the morning and Kaylin and I are back in the administration office, this time with Len and the rest of the disciplinary tribunal. We met with Len a few hours early to give him a more complete rundown on what exactly happened yesterday. I hate to admit it, but it felt good to see him as filled with rage as I was.

I have had this map done for like half a year, but posting it before the book came out wouldn't have made much sense.

Nylan & Ragnar, Chapter 4

“Good morning, criminal.”

“I don’t believe I’ve been found guilty of anything yet, officer.”

I grinned slyly on my cot as Khazak approached my cell, keys in hand. Sitting up and stretching my arms over my head, I could see that the morning sun was a little too bright. My bed wasn’t very comfortable last night, but it’s not as though they build jail cells for comfort.

“Yes, and everyone is certain you must be innocent.” Khazak rolled his eyes as he unlocke...

The Early Years of Litkalaa

By joining forces, the humans and werewolves of Litkalaa managed to repel any remaining attempts at invasion. However, the immediate aftermath of that victory was turmoil. The island was safe, but many of its inhabitants were bitter over the cost that it took to achieve that.

Many of the humans were terrified of the “monsters” that now ruled over them. And who could blame them, given that ...

“And you are set on it being today?”

“Yep. I’ve been planning this out for months. It has to be today”

It was early in the morning - way earlier than I would normally be up, but it was the only time I knew I’d be able to talk to Khazak without Ragnar finding out. Today was the big day - we were going to be moving in together. Only Ragnar didn’t really know it yet - and I had a short window to pull it off, so I needed all the help I could get.
