A Brief Preview of What's to Come

BILLOWING WERE THE STACKS of smoke that arose in the streets of the city where Tiffes, Katphiera and Olyv had made their homes. Red was the sky and black the clouds that hovered like devils over the scorched ground. Tiffes found himself engaged in a struggle against the Synthoid, a creature that bore the vague likeness of a Man, but made of abominable materials engineered by a brutal concoction of magic and science. And though it may appear on the surface to be human, his struggle was not against flesh and blood.


       Presently, he found himself pinned beneath the massive weight of the creature, its caustic saliva-esque secretions oozing between its steel teeth and burning holes in Tiffes's shirt. He pushed against it with all his might, gritting his teeth and straining his muscles to push the beast off of himself. He succeeded and scurried to his feet, panting and gasping for breath, his back covered in dust and his front singed and stained with blood and sweat. The Synthoid cracked its neck and smiled. It was ghastly white with silvery steel teeth and a tall slender body. Its left arm was out of socket and twisted and broken. It twisted it effortlessly back into place. Tiffes readied himself.


       To his right, he saw his staff, a rod of iron and gold studded with emeralds and a green orb floating at the top end. It was about six paces away, having been knocked away by the Synthoid when it first surprised Tiffes a few moments earlier. He darted for it, but the Synthoid was very fast and its reach far exceeded Tiffes's. His arm was caught and held captive by the creature's long, skinny metal fingers, their grip tightening around his wrist until blood erupted from his skin and a cry of deep pain escaped his lips as he was jerked back to the ground with a violent jolt. His arm was done.

       The Synthoid lifted its leg back to kick Tiffes squarely in the jaw. Its razor sharp foot sailed through the air with enough force to break a tree clean in two. Tiffes rolled, narrowly escaping the razor's edge, suffering only the smallest slice into his jaw and grabbed his scepter. And then, clinching it and shutting his eyes, he shouted: "SELITOR!!!" And in a blinding flash of white light ...

The Epic of Duth Ghellian

IT CAME ABOUT IN THE SEVEN HUNDRED and FORTY-NINTH year of Ghiskin's reign that a certain young man arose whose name was Belock Cahliin. And Belock sought to kill Ghiskin, for Ghiskin had become very wicked in his lifetime and had slain Belock's mother and sisters. Now Belock set about his journey to kill Ghiskin in his twenty-fifth year and with five companions. There was Kinto of the Southern Thames, Genre from West Wooriah, Kitze and Kitzu the two brothers and Belock's dearest friend, Preimor Monkiru from the Northern regions of Koe. And these six set about their quest early in the morning when the sun was still resting on the horizon.Now in those days, Men had no dealings with the Elves, for the Elves were higher than Men nor had they dealings with the Dwarves or Goblins or any of the other Ghiites, for they were beneath Men. For Elves were born of Magical heritage to the daughters of Elyriah and the Ghiites were the creation of lesser beings and Men, who were once the ...

On the Religions of Uruun-Seiir: Renrulai

FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF excerpt from the ancient writings of the Order Renrulai and their philosoph y of cosmic and moral determinism. These writings were first published in the Fifth Age by the Brotherhood of Renrul in the far north and were met with great opposition by several contemporary philosophers of the time, but have since found favor among scholars for their observations. THE UNIVERSE, HOWEVER VAST, is ultimately finite. This is particularly relevant because it limits the possible material outcomes of any given decision. Furthermore, the laws of known physics dictate that certain phenomena are impossibilities. This is a limit of material nature. A human, however he may desire or will it, can do nothing to make himself fly. He may by means of an apparatus soar through the air, but nothing in his nature allows him to fly apart from some mechanical process that would enable him. No man may make himself a duck. Beyond material limitations imposed upon the will are ...
