“If someone experiences a great sorrow, the way to be of most service to that someone is to guide them through their ache rather than attempt to take the pain away.”Master. Abbess Superior Y’luunara, was a thrall to “the coming day”. Facing its approach like a shady march into oblivion. Lavia watched the sky in … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 5

Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 4
An explosion, long about midnight, kicked Clemnilshala and Samythiel out of their deep sleep. It was once she’d become aware of the world around her that she found her arm was a voice holding Samythiel to her side. She squashed his shoulders until there would be an audible crunch. Vocal apologies could never hope to … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 4
Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 3
A thunk of an arrow lodging itself into the shield of her bow. Dropping her whip along the way, Clemnilshala crashed into Vulac, pinning her wrist against the side of her chest, she shouted for them to draw their sword. The stag’s head shiftlings had come for them. Rigmol knew all about the fellas and … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 3
Snowy Ground: Chapter 4 Part 2
The muscle in Clemnilshala’s neck was tigher than ever, her vision was as blurry as those old days when she learned new things. This all was new too. Just one hoof in front of the other. The bottom of this gear resembled the kilts of the shepherds from the southern prairies, stopping a hair above … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 4 Part 2
Snowy Ground: The Account of Clemnilshala’s Exile
Before we start, I want to establish a content warning for brutality and nudity. That is all. In a time long past, after the Eynnic peoples had left their former masters and found the Weilvog and Anghniel, a promising young defender-in-training had made quite the name for herself in the town from which she hailed. … Continue reading Snowy Ground: The Account of Clemnilshala’s Exile
Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 1
The sea. In the summertime. Six moons ago it probably didn’t look like this. Quiet. Beautiful. Lots of new rocks to explore a rocky beach set upon a sandy one. These rocks were not always here perhaps they came from the same place that the wandering star did. It smelled like the brightness of lamplight. … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 4, Part 1
Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Finale
Two by two, the party had returned to where they had started. Lavia had been fitted with a rucksack of old clothing and some Lanh-friendly food packed by Clemnilshala. They smelled of soapy lye and were free of smudge and stain. Vulac and Samythiel returned with food and medicine, the latter fiddled with the pocket … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Finale
Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Part 10
Commander Vulac directed Lavia, as a ragling, to earn her remaining keep with the Lanh by following Clemnilshala on her errand. A priestess made sure to remind her that going along could mean that the Abbess would become pleased should the exile stay amongst the party and go on to the sea with them. This … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Part 10
Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 part 9
Meanwhile, the rest of the party was welcomed into the Fox-Eye tavern, half-buried in snow that rained down. Rocks pelted the roof as the fight raged on a cliff’s edge overhead. This place with crawling with all sorts of humans, shiftlings, and dwarves alike. The eynnil of the group huddled together and rattled their hooves … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 part 9
Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Part 8
Three expeditioneers drew their swords, knives and, in the the case of a lass, musical spoons that she’d been playing in the nights prior. They’d sensed it in the rocks. Samythiel, too, could feel the shift in the stone, an innate thing that all dwarves seemed to know whether they were from the prairies or … Continue reading Snowy Ground: Chapter 3 Part 8
