2025-02-28 06:10:40 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as I hated to admit it, I needed to head back to the site of the explosion. I wouldn’t have my coburite, but everything else was prepared and I’d lived forty years without it anyways. E...
2025-02-28 06:10:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith much of the city awake and on their way to work, I couldn’t take one of the trams closer to my home. More of the damned, ash-born need to posture prevented me from using the much cheaper and...
2025-02-28 06:09:15 +0000 UTC View PostKnowing what was coming, I carefully knelt into the plush carpeting to allow Mama S to look at me. Johanna Silverfoot always needed to inspect her children, and she counted me among her other five....
2025-02-28 06:08:34 +0000 UTC View Post“Anders.” I said, bowing my head to my adoptive father. He’d stepped into the garrison before I’d noticed he was there, but he’d always walked quietly, even for a two foot-tall gnome. He ...
2025-02-28 06:07:20 +0000 UTC View PostIn my experience, jail itself isn’t too bad. Sure, there’s not a whole lot of freedom or things to look at, but the times I’ve been in jail, it’s mostly been a good time to rest and wait ar...
2025-02-28 06:06:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe two Blues that had come to investigate this potential arson were, unfortunately, familiar to me. Silvara was a right bastard of a constable. He’d been a member of the Arcane Guard for a coupl...
2025-02-28 06:05:55 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: You may ask, Ben, what the hell is this? Are you not writing enough? I answer, yes. I am. But I wanted to write more, so here you go and stop complaining!

2025-02-28 06:05:11 +0000 UTC View PostI just edited my page. I hesitated to do this before, but I've decided to do so now--you can now sign up for an annual membership and save 10% overall. There's no obligation, of course, but I now f...
2025-02-27 16:09:44 +0000 UTC View PostAs the years have passed, we are asked if what we do is necessary. We are told that our efforts are in vain. We are ridiculed, disparaged, and neglected. All this is in service to our g...

It’d been weeks since the Alpha, or Zaaktif, Percral reminded himself, left on his journey. In the days since, Sybil had continued with her usual iron-clawed ...
2025-02-26 04:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe more I spoke with Tar, the more I realized he was asking much better questions than I could manage. Each thought he expressed gleaned more from and about me than I could manage, and once the th...
2025-02-25 04:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe Rodentia and Mustelid bring news, and it is not the Otariid’s place to answer. These new neighbors are not at all seafaring, so it is the place of the Lupine and Ursine to decide....
2025-02-22 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter taking a month to evolve and rest in New Nievtra, traveling once again was strange. With so many fewer of my people journeying together than on our journey to the Shandise, we moved much quic...
2025-02-21 04:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as we set foot outside of the bounds of New Nievtra, Sybil’s plans were immediately apparent. The entirety of my keelish subordinates were arrayed in mostly straight lines, saluting me as...
2025-02-20 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThere wasn’t any reason to wait, and as soon as I left my little hovel, we went to find Brutus and the Alqat that he’d decided would follow me on this journey. Leera and Greel had prepared them...
2025-02-19 03:02:07 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the early days, we knew our position was of the highest import, but as the years have passed, it becomes more and more evident that the Alqat have a key place in our nation. We now...
2025-02-18 06:18:21 +0000 UTC View PostAs I lay in the sands of the bath, I closed my eyes in true relaxation. It had been a while since I’d been able to, given that I’d spent days spearheading the defense against the ant assault. N...
2025-02-15 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI’d seen Ytte tear into the ants, so I knew she was somewhere, but I couldn’t lay eye on her. Before I could ask, though, she popped up from around the corner or a house. Her hands carved throu...

2025-02-13 04:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostDays passed, and though I made sure to contribute where necessary, I spent most of it tending to those of my elites that were evolving to Keel. As we left the meeting, those who had qualified obvio...
2025-02-12 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post[Sybil POV]
She felt her consciousness returning in a blur, though only momentarily. Every part of her body hurt, and her stomach screamed its fury at the neglect it had been...
2025-02-11 04:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Why’s she here?” Shemira asked, looking down her nose at Farahlia. Standing among my elites, I was notably taller and bigger in every way than even Took and Brutus.
“Farahlia has pro...
2025-02-08 04:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI’d expected something beyond enthusiastic approval when I told Sybil I would be soon going on an expedition with a couple guards and Farahlia, but true to form and personality, she nearly immedi...

Days passed and I spent them working alongside each caste of keelish. Though I’d hoped that most, if not all, of my elites would evolve as soon as I did, that wasn’t the case. In fact, ten days...
2025-02-05 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe Gran Verat must ask that you be patient with the imperfect members of the Veratocracy. That he was required to step in and make the command to High Lord Alniyh himself is an embarra...
2025-02-04 04:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAmong so many other things, the first thing that jumped out to me on my new [Status] was the complete lack of any possible evolutions. I’d never been in that same situation before, and the lack o...
