    A new domain, and a big reset

    Hello everyone– I want to preface this by saying I hate these sorts of announcements. I believe it's an admin’s job to maintain the privacy of their members, even when someone breaks the rules and needs to be banned. So I’ve always found callout style posts to be a bit tacky. Unfortunately...

    Open The Buzzard Queen

    Three weeks ago... Within the borderlands of the Free State of Vresia, an Arshakan cohort trudged through rolling swaths of wetlands. On Day Three, the pack horses and carts were lost to sinkholes. It was Day Twenty-seven now, and the Wingbreaker Cohort carried food, blankets, and weapons on...

    Free State of Vresia

    The Free State of Vresia rests on the northwestern border of the Arshakan Empire, along the ever-contested Frontier. It is an unappealing place to invade. Rolling swaths of wetlands slow supply carts to a crawl, and freezing nights sap soldiers of their strength. And all the while, shadows...

    Blight's Bane

    A duelist's blade, with a clam shell guard. Its run gleams with a darkness that seems to drink the light, and glitter with what a mind wants to see. The smith swears, no matter what they tried to shape the weapon to, the wretched metal knew what it was. Mechanism Such a malice must have a will...

    Juniper's Judgement

    A monster's eye preserved in a vial filled with viscous liquid. The eye has the greenish grain of freshly cut wood, optic nerves peeling off it fine and filamented like the roots of a plant. The vial is sealed shut with an iron clasp, and the whole grotesquerie hangs from a rusted chain...

    Lantern Flower

    This delicate glass lantern emits a warm golden light, even though it is cold to the touch and lightly dewed over with condensation. Inside, in place of a fire, rests a Cempaxochitl flower. The flower looks as fresh as the day it was picked, and its golden petals glow with buttery luminescence...

    Happy Holidays, shroud weavers! For our New Year's resolution, we are banning the use of generative AI in all areas of our forum. But why? There are many ethical reasons to curb the use of AI, from its impact on the environment to dodgy businesses that steal creative works to train their...

    Anamnesic Amber

    Also known as a memory stone, anamnesic amber is an enchanted resource that can be created, given the proper skill and discipline. It is prepared by taking a piece of raw amber, carving runes onto its surface, and imbuing it with magic. The Knights of Anathaeum have long practiced this...

     The Night Sky

    Khurun's night sky is full of bright bodies - thick rings of celestial dust stripe diagonally across the sky, and eight moons orbit through their phases. Nights are brightly lit, and save for overcast days, lanterns are not needed to see. The tides are temperamental, coastal storms destructive...

    Lore Writing Contest One of our main goals on Shroudweavers is to be a place where people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

    Some time away

    Hey everyone, A couple days ago my stepmom was diagnosed with cancer. We are still in the diagnosis/treatment plan stage, so a lot of things are up in the air right now. I am going to step away from mantaining the site for a little while so I can sort thru all this and re-center myself. I'll...
