Board & Conquest 83: Kamiyuki

Previous Chapter

-------

It was quite the relief for General Peridot to lead an army whose leadership trusted him.

Part of him would never let go of the guilt of allowing Fire Sultan Onyx and his daughter Bloodstone to walk straight to their doom, or failing to call the goddess Pele out before her foolish strategy led to the near complete destruction of Lavaland’s milit...

The good thing about having too much territory was that he had quite a surplus of mana to draw upon.  

It only took him three days after the battle for Salamandra for Wepwawet to refill his reserves, with Narc, Salamandra, and Roynimalia providing the lion’s share of the contribution. His civilization now produced forty ...

Board & Conquest 81: Strange Bedfellows

Previous Chapter

The demon emperor walked into the war room as if he owned the place. 

Emperor Malvolo looked… well, exactly how Victoire imagined a demon emperor would look. The ruler of the Zoramesh Empire was a tall and towering figure, reaching nearly eight feet tall and clad in heavy black plate armor adorned with a crimson velvet cape. Metal covered ...

Blood & Fur Epilogue (& Afterwords)

The End.

Previous Chapter

It was warm the night when the living gathered to celebrate the Day of the Dead.

The drums of Chilam pounded inside the city’s walls and into the night beyond, followed by the song of flutes and the footsteps of dancers forming circles around campfires. Amazoness’ and priestesses of Queen Mictecacihuatl, goddess of the dead, bese...

Board & Conquest 80: Cousins in Arms

Previous Chapter

Few gods were as respected and despised as Anubis among the Egyptian Pantheon. 

On one hand, his very existence is what kick-started the devastating feud that tore apart their family. Wepwawet never received the exact details—or rather, he only had conflicting accounts to rely on—but apparently his mother Nephthys had had a ...

The ambiance at the family dinner was icy

The dinner table in Set’s pyramid had never felt so long. Wepwawet sat on one side with Artemis while doing his best to hide his nervousness. His father and stepmother faced them on the other side, though a large space separated them, and Wepwawet could cut the tension in the air with a k...

Her god wrestled with a giant stone monkey in the surrounding ashes at dawn.  

Even though they had all received advance warning and the battlefield beyond Salamandra had been cleared of bodies and siege engines, it remained quite the shocking sight. Her god’s Idol had walked out of Salamandra’s volcano to duel his fellow god’s effi...

Board & Conquest 76: Saving Squire Filou

Previous Chapter

Filou vanished into the light alongside the mage he had been fighting.

This is bad! Wepwawet’s connection to his Champion let him sense that the poor squire traveled thousands of miles to the southeast, far beyond Lavaland’s borders and straight into the heart of Epona’s Influence. He’s stranded on enemy territor...

Sun Wukong materialized in the gods’ shared realm of Influence.

That alone took Wepwawet by surprise when he and Ishtar manifested there to discuss the situation. The followers of Axomamma, Ganesha, and Horus had all evacuated Salamandra by now, but the Monkey King had left his naga ambassador within the city’s walls. This cou...

Nobody expected a summoned Dungeon as a response to a cavalry charge.  

Wepwawet’s plan had been simple if unconventional; gather multiple forces in Neigebleue Castle, then teleport it on top of the enemy with the associated Miracle once their siege engines inevitably breached the fortifications. He knew Epona and her alli...

I was myself, a weakling. 

The corpses of my consorts hit the steps of the pyramids, piles of limbs torn to pieces, quartered pounds of flesh, empty husks, and crushed skulls. The Nightlords squeezed them dry for every last drop of their blood in front of a silent audience.

I did not react, nor did I care. I was too tired and dazed to do...

Victoire looked over the Verglanian Air Force with apprehension.

While the magmorians were exclusively a powerful land army with no flyers whatsoever, Verglane had managed to form a small aerial unit made up of wereowls, winged elephant riders led by Filou, and Jarlack’s wyvern riders crew. This troop numbered less than five hundred and would li...

Poll Results, news and break notice

Hello everyone,

First of all, as warned a few weeks back, I'll now be on a break next week to attend an author meet-up with Selkie, RavensDagger, and a few other authors in Norway (this gathering has been a long time coming, and I hope we can at least attend one viking funeral by the end of it). Updates will thus resume on June 24th.

I also now confirm that Blood & Fur will conclude in July without a doubt. I am halfway through the next chapter alread...

Less than a year ago, Victoire thought she would die at the tip of a magmorian’s blade defending Narc to her dying breath. Never would she have expected to witness the coronation of Lavaland’s next sovereign and the start of a peaceful union between their two nations, let alone crown the Fire Sultana on her god’s behalf.  ...

The Tomb killed dozens in the blink of an eye.

His fellow gods answered his challenge with gusto.

Fire Sultana Alexandrite had Wepwawet stand outside of Salamandra’s gates in full view of the city walls. The nearly empty city’s inhabitants had all gathered there to see a genuine god in action. They would watch him prevail against all odds, or falter with the unworthy; quite the show, no matt...

The winds of battle roared across the sea of clouds.
