Clerical Conversations (Fifth Letter)

Andrew Michael Miller2 Comments

The following is the latest in an ongoing communication between two clerics, Professor Cesario de Torium and Professor Recamundus de Gelgadongo. Most recently, the gauntlet has been thrown off and the pleasantries of their profession have all but disappeared, leaving only scarcely concealed candor. What started as a request by Prof. Recamundus for Prof. Cesario to denounce his poem that painted a criminal, in the land of Caelon near Prof. Recamundus, in a somewhat sympathetic light, now has devolved to spiteful critiques of each other's character and body of work.

Treasure Hunters in the World of El Tor

Andrew Michael Miller1 Comment

It is no secret that once the world was cleared of the demonic threat during the Third Age, countless treasures were reclaimed by the pilgrims who first journeyed outward from the City of White Walls.

Early competition between kings was to see how many of the treasures of the fallen age they could amass for their own kingdoms. Because of this, the treasures became more status symbols than curious pieces of technology from the technologically advanced societies that fell to the curse.

The first encounter with the First Son in the White Walled City was reportedly very short-lived. Many people had hoped that his arrival would usher in a new era, with him taking the throne that the First Man once sat upon. However, this was a short-lived hope, as he bore his true intentions of his arrival: he needed soldiers to help him in a new war to reclaim the hellscape from the demons.

Pirates of the Mar de Comercio

Andrew Michael Miller1 Comment

The Saibhrean Isles are well known for their trade routes that extend to both sides of the Torian-Warathi conflict, even if officially they relate more with the Torians of Caelon. The commercial neutrality that they have established has elevated the lords of the isles to the status of so called trade barons, injecting the isles with an impressive economy unlike other kingdoms. Any endeavor so rewarding is not without its fair share of risks. For the Saibhrean Isles, pirates present the greatest risks to their trade routes.
