    Open Emergency Ordinance

    Rinrose might feel a brush of hoary whisker and a smudge of rain-soaked fur bump against her hand in an affectionate headbutt. The panther from before, whose name was Cosmo the Third, looked up at her with warm amber eyes. The big cat, of course, could not talk, and if a Tower weaver had...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    The Dawn Knight's arrow arched red and white through the grey night. It landed true, buried deep in the already-split jaw of the leviathan. Fire ate away at the coiling serpent from within, blistering beneath scales down its gullet and into ichor-filled belly. Cracked wounds of battles long gone...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    Lightning struck once, and the Traitor burned in technicolor. Lightning struck again, and an ember caught kindling inside the hero knight. The last bolt of lightning splintered against the horned crown of the Seneschal. Rough strength pulled the priestess off of Eden. She barely felt them...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    Now, all at once: Men and women moved at Eden's command. The Scorpions were assembled, hoisted, and tethered. All hands slowed to steady caution as the last component - the massive shroudstones that tipped the Scorpion's stingers - were upacked. Cradled in their boxes within a nest of cloth and...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    A knight with no House, and a haughty glare from the woman who expected Eden to know which order was The Order. She'd heard rumors of hedge-knights with no master wandering the North, and illegal rings of weavers who operated outside the Towers' shadow. Romantic figures, saving smallfolk and...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    There Below the Pier The panther sat back on its haunches, well-mannered. A thick, ropy tail wrapped around massive paws, twitching slightly and slowly at the tip. Pale amber eyes met blue with changing temperament -- curious, then cautious, then curious again. When the hand was offer, the beast...

    Open Emergency Ordinance

    IMKISH 27, 1 HOUR WITHIN THE QUARANTINE ZONE. RIMROCK PIER THERE BELOW THE PIER, THE BOARDWALKS ABOVE, creaked with the commotion of the crowd. To no avail, the city guards tried to break up the congregation. Questions and pleas were met only with the growing swell of song, as the tides...

    Ten Loyal Men

    PRELUDE The late Lord Damyan Sinclayr often thought of himself as the only man in the marshland. The Viscount surrounded himself with snakes and lions, ermines and eagles, confident that he could outwit them all. He did not vet the company that he kept, letting every manner of priest...

    Private Birds of a Feather

    A bow dipped Mr. Anmore's head low. He knew when no new words were needed, and ducked out of the room with little affair. Cardinale would be surrounded by silence for a few moments. Broken, sharply, by the bellow of the old sailor's voice from down the hall. "EDEN!" he called out, so used to...

    Private Birds of a Feather

    It was known that the Eden Sinclayr only had ten men in her employ. Most conducted their business outside of the estate, leaving only the old groundskeeper to tend to domestic matter. The groundskeeper's name was Janin Anmore, and he'd served the Sinclayr family for decades. Before that, he'd...

    Private Birds of a Feather

    Barking dogs greeted the Viscount as he stepped from the carriage. Two beastly black hounds snapped and scrabbled against thick chains, kept back only by the might of a man tugging on the other end. "Back, back! Behaver y'rselves, ya mongrels!" The man shouted. Despite his middle age, he had a...
