A is for: Any Given Day / Access Restricted
I had a couple of different ideas of how to start off the A-Z month, but a little bit of fiction seemed like a good fit. Then I had trouble picking just the one idea to flesh out. So you get two!

J is for: Jhomal ab-Braetha, Agent of the Willow Court
"My name is Jhomal. For several years now, my life has not been my own. I was once a petty thief, but I had dreams. I travelled, trying to keep ahead of any bad reputations.

Kingsmead character overview part 2

Kingsmead character overview part 1
So I took my time with this update. First off, I'm going to run through important characters that live in Kingsmead. There are, apart from two exceptions, all human. This is because I'm kind of lazy, and saw it as a human dominated settlement. There are no doubt a few others dotted about, but the … Continue reading Kingsmead character overview part 1
