When I was but a wee mortal growing up on the winding thoroughfares of [DATA REDACTED], one of the (admittedly many, many) aspects of Lusternia which most caught my interest was just how human the Divine were.

As many wondered about the sounds, in the…

In some ways, becoming an eph comes with as many losses as it does gains. The first thing you do is qq your mortal for the very last time, and that, for many of us, was a hard decision to make. There’s a good number of admin who chose to apply for Havens because they…

There’s only thirty rank positions in a Divine Order. This is hard-coded in. No amount of begging, pleading, and even tricking a brief change through on Iosai (that broke everything) that was swiftly redacted, has won me any kind of slack in that realm. As I came to find out in the early days of…

For the November Vesteran Honours, Thayan won the contest with the story titled, “The Fortal of Pate”. In the artisanal category, Arimisia won with the painting entitled “Vigil of the Red Star”.
