Jovian asked Angelica as she situated herself on the couch. “How about some white willow bark?” she offered, her head pounding from all the wine she had drank the night before. “I have some of that; it is in a pot on the table,” Grace said, indicating that more than Angelica had needed pain relie...
Since arriving in Lytoria, Sara felt the cares and worries she had been carrying with her washed away in a feeling that everything would be okay. There was no need to worry about the outcome, everything was alright. Incredulously, she tried to study this new feeling, wondering how in the Realms e...
was, because for a moment they could not see anything no matter how they tried. It wasn’t until Melvin looked around the slightly forbidding figure of Samarra that he noticed she was staring ahead of them through another fog bank that created something like a large circle in the air.

It used to be a grand mansion, back when Mattelyn and her errant brother, Fortarian had presided over it. In the ages since Mattelyn fled the house had fallen into disrepair.

In the end the ooslebed realized there was no dissuading her Guardian, and had gone to the armory to retrieve the chainmail and the sword. Joya was never any good with a sword, but as the dwarves and trolls had made their approach on the wall, been pushed back and were now regrouping, planning th...

Still, the thought of seeing a disembodied spirit was enough to send shivers up her spine. The vampires and the ghouls, along wi...
Leona wondered, staring at the silver scar on her hand. She eased herself further into the tub until the water touched her bottom lip. Still she didn’t take her gaze off her hand. Hafaress? But that was stupid. What did Fortarian mean that darklings weren’t the only ones good at lying? She shook ...
