In the Greatlands 
The Lodrian Scholars descend upon the trail of the blue flame- determined to seek the fabled Pillar of Power. Entranced by the prospect of limitless strength, they shall stop at nothing  to seek  its adage and glory.
But as the years have proven, the price of glory is paid many times over by martyrdom.
 
In the Southron Seas-
Among the numerous islets of  the Greatlands, there lies one -  bounded by  seafroth- which has been home to men as different as they were conflicted. 
But the ways of old demand it, for he who shall expect a hearth from Koinoros must allow one to another- no matter the latter's faith, race or creed- such is the law of the common country.
So great is Koinoros' repute for peace, and magnificent its hospitality, that the Scholars  are bound by their masters to visit  its starry sanctums, lest their adage go untainted by the wisdom of the ancient echos.
In Koinoros
Headed by the enigmatic Nira Afdur, who was once a scholar herself, the Order of Glaives strives to divert the Lodrians from the path of the trail, for they know that their venture is hopeless-  only six among the numerous thousands have ever tamed the flame.
As the saying goes, 'The Pillar is as deadly as it is divine'
But the Order will not find its task easy, since forgoing the mark of the trail is a matter of great shame; even punishable by death. 

Follow the adventures of Nira, Albir, Garamont and Visiros-  as they stalk the grimy streets of Koinoros, willing to risk themselves in order to save countless others.

16 parts Complete Mature
What begins as a simple escort mission soon unravels into a battle for survival, vengeance, and destiny. Fendic Lancer, a fierce Dragonborn warrior searching for his place in the world. Alista Willow, a rogue with a haunted past and a secret even she doesn't understand. Balder Slashman, a half-orc druid whose wisdom is often overshadowed by his eccentricity. Together, they set out on a journey through the Sword Coast-only to find themselves entangled in a war far greater than they imagined. From the depths of Cragmaw Hideout to the ruins of Wave Echo Cave, they will face goblin armies, ruthless mercenaries, and dark magic beyond comprehension. But as secrets unfold, Alista discovers she is more than just a survivor-she is the key to something far greater. And Fendic? He must learn that true strength isn't just found in battle-it's found in the bonds we forge and the legacies we leave behind. As their final battle approaches, allies will rise, sacrifices will be made, and destinies will be decided. The Echoes of Fate call to them. But will they survive long enough to answer?

Echoes Of Equilibrium: War Of The Worlds by BenjacksonTroy
1 part Ongoing
In a world where balance is the key to survival, a centuries-long war between humans and demons threatens to plunge the human world into irreversible chaos. For millennia, the rift between the two races has deepened, fueled by ancient hatred and bloodshed. But one demon dares to defy his lineage. Leor, prince of the demon realms of Valek'thar and Zaron, is determined to end the cycle of destruction. Haunted by the legacy of his father, the ruthless Primordial Demon King Aamon, Leor seeks redemption-not just for himself, but for all demonkind. Guided by a relentless sense of duty, Leor forms an uneasy alliance with two elite demon hunters-Shania and Seraphina-and a mysterious god who brings them together. Together, the trio fight to forge peace between their worlds. But as tensions simmer, a far greater threat rises: the Devourer, a chaos-born orb with the power to consume the life-force of entire realms. As they traverse breathtaking and perilous landscapes, the group encounters ancient beings, monstrosities with glowing eyes, and a demon named Azarath, whose neutrality seems odd. The hunters wrestle with their own morality as enemies become allies, and loyalties are tested. When a forgotten god-one who defied existence itself-emerges as the true architect of the chaos, Leor and his allies must race against time to stop a force that threatens not only the mortal realms but the very fabric of all reality. In a world teetering on the edge, love, sacrifice, and the strength of unlikely bonds will determine the fate of all. To protect the balance, they must confront the darkness-both around them and within.

The Prophecy of Water | TheWattys2018 Shortlister ✔️ by EvelynHail

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

Enchantress

30 parts Complete Mature

Currently being edited ~ 2023 Completed ~ 2021 Aurora is destined for greatness or at least that is what is believed by every witch in the Netherlands, not the human Netherlands but the land of the so called mystical creatures. She was born of the same blood line as Queen Lilia and she is the first and only Enchantress to ever walk the earth. 5 centuries before she was even born, after the death of Queen Lilia, a prophecy was foretold that she would end the war between the vampires and the witches and become the most powerful witch the world has ever known. Except there is just one problem, she did not believe any of that whole bullshit until of course she meets the vampire King, Xion, who is convinced she is his fated though she absolutely positively despises vampires. Oh this is going to be living hell. Please read this book (but do NOT steal it or so help me God you'll regret it) Thank you in advance.
