The forest was cold and quiet.
Victoire had often visited the Boisblanc Forest for hunts or to trade with Roynimalia back when she worked with the Glarmes Order, but she could never get used to the place’s quietness. Rows after rows of spruces, larches, and pines surrounded her crew from all sides, their snow-covered leaves ...

Viviane returned from Roynimalia with a new influx of settlers two days after the near-disastrous spar.
Wepwawet immediately noticed the difference from his previous visitors. Narc’s newcomers usually came from local tribes or villages with little more than the shirts on their back. Most were farmers, laborers, or warriors.&n...

Part 4
Fire. Fire was the friend who never betrayed you. You could always count on it to burn all it touched.
When I was a child, I saw one of my classmates—a young child by the name of Thomas Flagel—catch fire without explanation. He carried no match, nothing to smoke, and no tool which could have caused the ignition. His...

Wepwawet believed in treating prisoners well.
In his experience, yesterday’s enemies could become tomorrow’s allies depending on circumstances. The magmorians’ decision to invade his lands to solve their overpopulation issue, while short-sighted and deplorable, was somewhat understandable and minor in the grand scheme of ...

Hi guys!
As those on Royal Road probably know already, the site is running a bi-yearly community magazine contest (you can see the details here: https://www.royalroad.com/blog/73/happy-new-start-of-the-community-magazine-contest ). January's theme is "Dead Men tell the best tales."

Not only had no new brawls erupted since yesterday’s masterful speech, but his followers had all shown a renewed surge of purpose and energy! Enough so that Marcel’s group finally unearthed that hidden relic Wepwawet had been looking for!

Victoire struggled with a growing distaste for werewolves.

When Lord Wepwawet sent out Mistouffe to preach to other communities, Victoire thought that the werecat would struggle to convince a handful of people. A story about a god gracing a small village like Narc sounded like an unbelievable tale.
She certainly didn’t expect her to return with a group larger than all of Narc’s p...

A battle’s aftermath was always a disturbing sight.
Victoire walked among the flooded remains of Narc’s fortifications with her fellow militia members and Lord Wepwawet’s spirit-wolves. The water level had lowered low enough for her to step over magmorian corpses and slain wyrms. Small, red lizardlike creatures roughly around a werera...

Every seat had its importance at an emperor’s table.
I began the second day of what would soon become the bloodiest Flower War in decades with a hearty breakfast in my consorts’ company. Lady Zyanya had been invited to attend, without her husband. Inviting her to eat in the company of my female companions was tantamount to recognizing her as my...

Narc wasn’t ready.
Victoire knew it the moment Lord Wepwawet’s wolves woke her up, long before her god warned her that almost a hundred enemy soldiers were moving toward the village with the intent to raze it. She had barely had time to give its people rudimentary lessons on how to hold a bow and wield a spear, and some wounded ...

Not even death could end true madness.

The first day ended without any further attacks, and so did the second.
As Wepwawet suspected, he received three mana points each day at dawn: one from the mana leyline itself and two from his worshipers’ faith. A paltry amount, but not one that he would be able to increase for the foreseeable future. He spent them su...

Lettuce.
Of course Wepwawet’s ‘sacred food’ would be lettuce. His father force-fed it to him for so long that it stained his very divinity! At least he had retained the wolf and spear as his trademark animal and weapon. Lettuce could thrive in cold climates with the proper care and Narc’s inhabitants seemed happy to ...

After returning to the village and counting their losses, Victoire thought this battle could have been far worse.
The magmorians had burned a few houses to ashes and damaged others, but most remained standing. The miraculous rain had extinguished the flames early enough. Marron had unfortunately perished from a blow to the head, b...

Each time I thought Mother couldn’t disappoint me more, she found new ways to surprise me. I had to at least recognize her talent for deceit and surprise.

It was said that wise warriors never went to a battle unprepared.
Following that advice proved difficult when I had more than one war to plan for. Awakening before dawn—partly because of my newfound lifeforce and partly out of frustration over my lack of progress in the Underworld—had proved to be a blessing in disguise on that front. I’d spen...
