And they did find him a throne. A living one.
True to its description, his Land of Darkness Perk was quickly infusing every plant within the Halls of the Minotaur with miasma and animating them, including a particularly ghastly black tree with shambling roots and branches that had human skulls hanging from them instead of fruit. ...

Simon spent the trip to Whispermire learning his first Tier III spell: Cursebound.
It was by far the most spell versatile yet, and the one that would take the longest to master. Whereas previous curse spells focused on inflicting a temporary ailment or debuff, Cursebound applied a permanent malediction at the...

Simon ensured that he settled all of his affairs before leaving Frightwall.
He first released Eole after warning her about Vouivre to ensure she wouldn’t return to Telluria. That meeting was a bit tenser than its previous iterations because Simon didn’t ask her to come with him, nor did he entertain the idea of going to her people’s Sa...

Watching Castle Neigebleue punch Beelzecuck in the face brought Wepwawet no small amount of joy.
The colossal transforming castle golem’s fist threw the Divine Avatar back and towards Sun Wukong, who hastily swung his stone staff at the Titan’s back and threw him off balance. Ishtar’s Molek then rammed Beelzebub ...

“Doublecast,” Belzemine intoned, “Aegis.”
Simon immediately sensed her magic empowering him, reinforcing him with invisible barriers, sharpening his speed, and healing his wounds. Leonard also received a similar blessing; the bloody gash in his chest he had taken on in his master’s place slowly closed.

Norbelle’s airship, the Legendary, arrived at dawn.
Simon watched it from the command deck of Lauriane’s own flagship, the Wisdom, with apprehension. Ten of the war machines hovered over the Goetia Research Center, having traveled all the way here from the War Party’s secret base. Between the intimidating escort and the ...

Filou had thrice witnessed gods personally taking to the field of battle.
The first was during the First Incursion, where he witnessed Lord Wepwawet duel the Titan Whiro in a cataclysmic clash that nearly tore apart Narc and led to the death of Goreville, Grudu, and many others.
The second was when his god participated in Lavaland’s go...
2025-11-22 08:15:22 +0000 UTC View PostHeya everyone,
As it is tradition by now, here's the new reign poll. While the current arc still has a few chapters ahead of its conclusion, I'm putting it up early for new patrons fresh off RR.
The second reason is that one of the options is a long reign.
Yes, Simon has reached enough information and levels to earn himself some reigns that last beyond three months ;) but that means they'll cover a lot more chapters than previous arcs so I'll need a bit more time to plan t...

Belzemine wordlessly stared at her tea. The workshop had become silent after Simon explained the situation to her in private. She still seemed to struggle to accept that the castle she had lived in for the last four centuries had been destroyed.
With the civil war now inevitable, Simon had acted quickly. He telepathically gave leave to Leona...

The attack had begun well.
Combining his The Pack Provides Doctrine, which let him apply the effect of a single Rank 6 Revelation or below to all Champions and followers, in conjunction with Citystep had allowed Wepwawet to teleport nearly every combat unit capable of acting on Lune’s atmosphere straight onto Beelzebub’s doorstep. The o...

Walking through the Darkwood carried a perpetual undercurrent of menace.

The trip to Magvolia was pleasant enough.

Elaine Malphas spent the entire flight being the perfect courtier.

“No.”
Eole’s refusal rang through the room, dashing Simon’s hopes.

Goreville was a veteran of many battles, but no foe annoyed him more than the Brood.

Lady Shabram was right about one thing. All of Simon’s paths led back to the Crimson Throne.
Simon’s soul faced it once again, the great artifact looming in the dark. The great dragon’s skull on it seemed to smirk at Simon like Vouivre had done, rejoicing in the great apocalypse he had witnessed and the holy blood he had shed.

Ascending up a mountain was a mystical experience.
Located west of the League of Valne, the Stone Crown formed a barrier of mountains separating it from the Kingdom of Lore. The highest of them, Mount Colt, used to be a volcano, though it had slumbered ever since the Year of the Doom.

Well, at least it was night in the Wyld when Elphion’s moons began to cross over in the sky. Victoire could have guessed something terrible would happen then from the way a ring of light appeared on the eclipse’s outer edge, like a rising sun’s rays. The darkness itself appeared to recoil in ...

Simon cursed that wicked trickster, even as he rammed his new sword through an orc’s chest and spilled its entrails all over the grass. An arrow bounced off his Overlord armor—which he had disguised as a Dreadnought one with Fiendmask—and Belzemine incinerated an axe-wielder trying to flank him.
