1113 - War of Establishment X

Hundreds of Lances fired their deadly payloads into the Stormwall, bombarding the mountains and the valley beyond.  The defense Lances within fired back and several small Diluvian arks were sh...

1112 - War of Establishment IX

There was a certain terror that caused Elise’s heart to always beat a little bit faster whenever Leon was gone from her side.  She knew his predilection for getting into trouble, and while s...

1111 - War of Establishment VIII

In a moment, Leon and Terris exchanged dozens of blows.  Each time their weapons met each other’s, the clash created a deafening shockwave that caused even the misty veil and the clouds abov...

1110 - War of Establishment VII

From above the clouds of his storm, Leon watched the groups of arks patrol around his valley.  The great war machines plowed through sheets of rain as easily as they plied the waves and depths...

1109 - War of Establishment VI

Amidst the rain-drenched mountains, shaded by the thick storm clouds above and illuminated by frequent bolts of lightning, Leon watched his prey draw closer.

He felt alive in a way that he ha...

1108 - War of Establishment V

The anger among Leon’s commanders when he returned from his brief talk with Terris was great.  There hadn’t been any real considerations of surrendering or acquiescing to the demand to lea...

1107 - War of Establishment IV

Fires burned in the mountains from a dozen wrecked Ocean arks.  Rain battered the slopes, the wind howled through the peaks, and survivors from the downed arks moaned and cried out in pain fro...

1106 - War of Establishment III

To Leon’s group, the misty veil was hardly an obstacle; they plunged in, Leon’s heart heavy with regret as he felt the intense waves of magic as the carrier and heavy cruiser that covered his r...

1105 - War of Establishment II

Leon plummeted through the sky, his body wracked with the pain of broken bones, and the red giant’s hand pursuing him.  His wrath for Maia’s pain was unabated, but his pain tempered him; h...

1104 - War of Establishment I

The day was clear and warm, with a pleasant breeze spreading the scent of mountain flowers throughout the Artor Valley.  Birds sang in the trees and men and animals went about their business, ...

1103 - Calm Before the Storm

The mountains around the Artor Valley were gorgeous in Leon’s estimation.  Tall and imposing, with cliffs and steep slopes covered in green shrubs and enormous red-barked and blue-leafed tre...

“If they set even a single toe upon the beach, we will turn them back to the sea!” Split-Knuckle furiously boomed, his voice echoing so many times off the walls that Leon wouldn’t have been s...

1100 - Trade

A large part of Leon felt like preening as his eyes fell upon the large ingots of orange-gold Aurichalcum before him.  Each ingot glittered in the light of his villa’s main hall, while to hi...

1099 - Drinking Companions

It was a terrible thing to be alone as a monarch.  Anastasios knew this well, and after spending a fairly considerable amount of time within Leon’s Kingdom, he wondered if Leon knew it, hims...

1098 - Manuchehr

Fiddling with the buttons on his coat, Leon growled, “I hate it.”

“You don’t,” Elise replied, her voice lilting in a sing-song manner.

“I do,” Leon shot back as he glared ...

1097 - Head-Turning Wealth

Leon’s return to Artorion couldn’t have come quickly enough.  Leaving Alhamachim to its own devices seemed the best way to maintain good relations with his new vassal.  Allowing them ...

1096 - Preparations

It took a long time for Leon to fully process his impression of the rather vagrant-looking Archelaus.  When he and his people were returned to Alhamachim via river of Lumenite, he hardly spoke...

In case you missed it, I posted a Work-in-Progress map of this region of the Storm Lands yesterday. It's not done yet, I'm going to continue working on it, but for the sake of giving ...

The sky was blue.

The sky was always blue.

The clouds danced across the sky, light and fluffy.

The pirates’ arks had largely been left where they’d been parked during the sack, leaving the arks of Strategos Djoser little option other than to land in the forum in front of the Temple of Le...

“So, what do you all think?”

The answers to Leon’s question came quickly, with few apparently needing time to deliberate.  Cassandra was the first to speak.
