1212 The trip back to Navale was an uneventful one. Whatever had happened to the city following the collapse of the black portal, there was no evidence of it now. It was the picture of a bustling port town you could find anywhere. That is to say, no one took any notice of the old soul as he...

[1,317] A swift sea breeze swept through the serene valley, tossing about leaves and dross. An endless field of green stretched onward, seemingly infinite in all directions but one. There, the emerald expanse was halted by deep blue. Rolling azure waves crashed against the beach head steadily...

Trudging across the deck of the Hydrus, Artanis felt an unusual sense of calm, every torpid step conjuring memories long forgotten. He could still recall the briny sea breezes, the lapping of the waves, the rhythmic thrum of the ship’s engines as the vessel cut through the water… It would have...

Mechanical digits wrapped around the cracked leather strap of the rucksack with a pained churning of gears as the ancient mercenary hefted the burlap bound mechanism over his shoulder. Ocher oculi scanned the motley group of would-be allies, Artanis letting out a muted grunt that reflected his...

As those aggrieved by the demon sounded off meekly around the room, the ancient mercenary moved with a vigor that belied his derelict body. While Artanis could certainly understand the call for a measured response, he was a shrewd businessman at heart. The maligned imp's words had not rattled...
