Chapter
The End of an Empire
“Found you,” Arkk murmured. It wasn’t a big thing. A small sliver of a wall going missing. Perhaps the length of his hand and the width of a finger. But Fortress Al-Mir’s Heart was incredibly sensitive to any disruptions. Any damage to its structure set off alarm bells in the back of Arkk’s mind. Alarm bells were currently tolling in one of the vertical shafts blocking the way forward. Arkk teleported to the shaft, standing on a small grate made specifically to prevent anyone from moving up…-

“Viscount Lethster has managed to scrounge up another eight hundred from the towns in his realm. He claims he will find another two hundred more.” “Viscountess Quincy already supplied well over two thousand men for the invasion of Evestani. She is unsure if she can amass a meaningful number of additional conscripts.” “Baron Bombast sends kind regards and a request to cease attempts at conscripting his miners. At least so long as you wish for the Kingdom to be supplied with his…

Master Inquisitrix Sylvara Astra heaved a heavy crate up onto her shoulder with surprising ease. Multiple visits to Hale to repair everything from missing limbs to minor cuts had left her changed. She was yet to decide if those changes were in any way positive in the long term. At the time, war and the threat of the avatar left her eager to visit the heretical healer. Now, she was left to live the rest of her life with the abnormalities and any complications that arose from their presence. So far,…

Chapter
The Great War Aftermath – Al-Mir
Arkk stood in Langleey Village, seated on a small bench just down the way from the old shack he once called his home. A family far too large for the small building now tried to squeeze into it. Refugees from Smilesville, brought here after he ordered their evacuation in advance of the Eternal Empire warships sailing past the burg. They wouldn’t need to stay for much longer, only until his men were sure there was no danger of straggling groups that had made off into the night. A group of children, a…-

Chapter
The Stars
Legends told of an event. The stars aligning. Every species had their own ideas for what such an event would bring. Fairies believed that their magic would return. Humans feared great destruction. Orcs saw a paradigm shift in the order of the world. Great fortune and blessings. Tidal waves and desolation. Every culture saw portents of a different future. The one key factor that linked them all together was simple. Change. No matter what happened, it would change things. Quaint. These beings…-

Arms and Armory
“Another project ready for testing,” Zullie said. “Project Capsule. I think this one might stand a good chance at eliminating the threat of those golden rays.” “Good,” Arkk said. “What do you need? Volunteers or material?” “Volunteers. They should expect discomfort, but nothing quite as life-altering as what those dark elves went through.” Arkk pursed his lips. He had asked Zullie to try to stick to projects that didn’t require people. First of all, it was surprisingly…-

Takedown
Sylvara and Hannah aimed, pointing their arms above their heads at the circling airships. Neither enacted their magic. They held off, waiting as Lelith moved about, minutely adjusting the exact position of their arms. The dark elf squinted up into the sky, consulted with a crystal ball, readjusted their arms, and held up a finger of her own. “Hold,” she said, eyes glued to her crystal ball. “Ready… Now!” Twin waves of multicolored light oscillated through the air. Unlike most spells, there…-

Crash
“Two Arkks, you say?” Vezta stood at the table. Her eyes—the ones in the usual spot on her face—swept over the group of five. Olatt’an, Kia, Claire, Zullie, and Hale. Everyone else was busy with the operation. Vezta had half a mind to put an end to it, to focus on uncovering what happened to Arkk, but Fortress Al-Mir had enough personnel to carry out multiple operations at once these days. The real problem was that of an imposter, period. If the story the dark elves told was true, an Arkk…-

Hunt
Arkk, Kia, Olatt’an, Vezta, Zullie, and Abbess Hannah teleported into the undead storage room, the rapid movement still feeling slightly sluggish but not as bad as it had been. All carried a veritable armory of the counter-demon weapons Zullie had developed. In the five minutes since escaping the demon’s captivity, he had devised a tentative plan for dealing with the entity. He wished there was more time, but he couldn’t allow a demon to roam unchecked through his fortress. There was so much to…-

Desertion and Demises
Arkk could feel the demon at work behind the scenes. How else would one thousand one hundred thirty-eight deserters slip away without anyone noticing? Most had been at the mountain hive where Arkk had sequestered the soldiers when he was still planning on them doing nothing but watching. They didn’t have the rebuilt walls of Elmshadow keeping them in. But still, someone should have noticed. There wasn’t much cover in the fields west of Elmshadow that would have hidden them from casual…-
