Re: Across the Wine Dark Sea
The founder of his order had mandated alternating periods of monastic seclusion and worldly travel. Months and years of prayer, inspiration, and research will terminate pointlessly if one does not venture into the secular world to see, to hear, and to learn; to then return refreshed in body and spir...

Across the Wine Dark Sea
He sits near the lectern, as is his custom, with his head cocked to the side like a curious dog. Though the reading has entered its second hour he has not stirred. His eyes remain fixed on the speaker, an itinerant from Aglarond's church of Waukeen. He is not familiar with the man's other works, and...

Re: White Witch
His mind turned to the weeks after the abbey, the storm, the cold. --- As the compartment's single door closed, he turned to Alaria and opened his mouth, one finger in the air to emphasize the coming question. "For the last time," she cut him off, "it's called The Forest King, and you will need to s...

Re: Research: Tregorian's Gate
Pyrrhos emerges from the depths of the library, stinking of incense. He deposits on a nearby table a stack of maps, several historical chronicles, and a binder full of 11th century Helmite temple correspondence. The items are flagged with notes like 'Promising,' 'Suspect,' and 'Baffling.' He shares...
