Entry #18 I don’t even know what happened tonight. This might be another, really long entry for me to make sense of as I write it, but this sunny morning is the perfect light upon my thoughts. Yesterday, as I stood about in an unusually calm Thoroughfare, made alive only by the chatter of a...

Entry #15 After a long, long time, I’ve met Bran again. I was returning from a long venture of culling kobolds and goblinoids, as has become my primary source of bread in the city at this point, and I saw him at the Thoroughfare. Not much has changed with that fellow: he is still stout and...

Entry #11 By the Gods, everything that I’ve written so far sounds utterly ridiculous; no wonder Lorelai called me Valen “the Mad” as a jest. The more I am in Murann, the more am I starting to think that it is true. And still, it gets even stranger; for now I have taken up my bow and sword once...

Entry #9 The last few days have been difficult to put into words. I bet five entries – or a really, really long one – would hardly cover what has happened! So many new faces, so many new sights, words, foods, drinks in all their varieties – all plenty and unique; so many interactions had with...

Author's Notes: This intends to detail Valen's entire journey, start to finish. I originally intended to only release it onto the forums once the character died, but I figured I might as well drop parts of it now. The majority of the information here has happened so long ago that I don't think...

PART II. - DREAD •·················•·················• The day had long gone, marching towards the night. Incessantly crackling into the ranger’s ear and shrouding the cloakless back of his leather cuirass, the Menhir of Fire burned on as his only source of warmth. Its embers listened patiently...

PART I. - GRATITUDE •·················•·················• High rose the morning sun above the land when the raven and ranger alike wandered over to the cliff's precipice, stopping shy of the sharp fall into the Sangrue's rushing rapids. Sheltering the delicate parchment strapped against its...

As I'll be stepping back from the server to focus on my personal writing, I'd like to give big kudos to those I had great interactions with. Most of them my characters got to form complex relationships with and usually elevate every scene they're in, and are very enjoyable to roleplay with...

I agree, consumables like holy oils could act as a workable, reliable "we don't really need the gods" alternative to divine and arcane magic. Just like Witcher blade oils / potions, they could be mundanely sourced by artificers, chymists, or just certain professions, for characters who don't...

PREFACE: I am generally arguing for making the undead more difficult, yet certainly possible, to fight. My character is currently a level 8 ranger, and with no specialisation against the undead. However, I have fought them at earlier levels before they were changed. The following is a revision...
