Question 1: The World, Basics
How long have there been people on this world? Did they evolve, or did they migrate from somewhere/when else?
I haven’t really established a true time-span for the world just yet, nor have I figured out how many years civilization has counted so far, but there have been creatures called Kindred on the planet for over 4,000,000 years. They’ve only kept records for the last 5,000 or...

Here Be Dragons
Sera became aware of several things all at once. The first was that she had no recollection of where she was, or how she’d gotten there; the second was that she was tied to a stake. The usual bundle of kindling beneath her was missing, so she assumed she had not been accused of witchery. The third, which came more slowly than the others, was that there was a great, looming shadow on the...

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid....
