A Glimpse Into the Realms

by Tower Curator — Morvin arrived at the portal chamber just in time to watch a lesser servant scurry up the side of the archway, slot in a keystone, and then leap from the height. It landed with a heavy slop against the stone tiles. Apparently unharmed, it scurried off to a corner of the room without delay. Vezz’ok moved ahead, hurrying over to the portal where he proceeded to give it that little spark of magic, activating the portal. Fortress Al-Mir would keep it running now that it was active. The shimmering liquid…

Fortress Under Attack

by Tower Curator — Perr’ok watched with envy as one of those large walking factories from the anvil worked—metal extruded from small nozzles formed into solid sheets, intense torches fused the metal, cogs and gears, shaped from the same extruders, slotted into place as mechanical arms manipulated a hundred different components at once. It took a full hour, but Perr’ok now stood before a fully complete War Walker. He was still workshopping the name. It wasn’t quite the same model as the refurbished walkers he…

Takedown

by Tower Curator — 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…

Return to Fortress Al-Mir

by Tower Curator — The Maze had rapidly grown more and more uncomfortable. Ever since reaching the portal, it felt like the air had shifted. Some aura seeped into the land, like an observer, constantly breathing down on them as it watched from an outside perspective. The few lesser servants he had sent around to explore and safeguard the area surrounding the portal, those not connected to the larger mass, vanished almost instantly. As if that observer were actively upset at their efforts to remain together and was pushing…

The Empress

by Tower Curator — Arkk staggered back, slumping against the wall. The fingers of his recently regrown draconic arm twitched and jittered. Sparks of lightning jumped from claw-like fingernail to claw-like fingernail despite having been interrupted before he could fry the Empress. At least he hadn’t blown the arm off this time. He wasn’t sure if that was because he had been more careful, the talisman that Zullie gave him that was supposed to redirect any backlash into a depleted glowstone, or if the draconic-looking arm…

Dealing with Armies

by Tower Curator — Primvila stretched her leathery wings wide, angling to catch an updraft. Normally, she enjoyed flying. As a syren, most people who lived on the ground didn’t take too kindly to her presence. Syren voices carried a certain type of magic that made their words more appealing to those who heard them sing. It was nowhere close to the mind magics that Savren got up to, yet people—humans especially—generally looked at her with ire and suspicion. Humans didn’t fly. That meant she could stay in the air…

Eternal Optimism

by Tower Curator — Watching Agnete work was something of a wonder for Arkk. Without even a slight incantation, a wall of flame moved forward. The dust and debris in the collapsed rooms burned away completely. Stone walls, scorched first by the explosion, blackened completely as the fire swept through. The air cleared up with the dust burned away, allowing them to see into the trapped rooms. Arkk stood well back from Agnete and was still overheating. A spell Priscilla taught him was helping a little, but not enough. He…

A Kingdom Fallen

by Tower Curator — As Ilya stepped into the main chamber of the palace, her eyes were immediately drawn to the intricate patterns adorning the vaulted ceilings. Dozens of small tiles formed large, decorative circles and waves with swirling motifs of gold. The room was vast and wealthy. Rich tapestries hung from the walls, each telling the tale of Evestani victories and prosperity in golden thread, now overshadowed by the banners of the Greater Kingdom of Chernlock. A faint scent of incense lingered in the air, barely…

The End of an Empire

by Tower Curator — “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…

The Great War Aftermath – Chernlock

by Tower Curator — “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…
