The Zesipian Empire is one of two nations who share the Aseavrian continent. It is a resource rich nation, owing to its evolution on the western side of the continent. Blessed with rich farmland, a temperate climate, and a fertile sea, the Empire is thriving.

Though, far away from the capital city of Nir is the Greater Zesipian Territory. The region formed when the Zesipians expanded eastward and their population of humans, elves, and halflings bloomed.

Most of the territory is arid and infertile. Endless grasslands mixed with scorching heat create harsh conditions. The territory is home for many people forgotten by the Empire who only survive with creativity, ruthlessness, and (some) co-operation.

This is a collection of short stories presenting the people who live in this territory.All Rights Reserved

March To The Capital by Elijah-Talbot2

They deserve what happens to them. Ever since they enslaved us, ever since they shackle us underground to bring them their ore or chain above ground to harvest their grain. We suffered, while they fattened their bellies. No more, now we deserve justice. We will ravage through their countryside, we shall burn their homes, and slaughter their young. For now, our rebellion has begun. The time of my people's slavery ends with me for I will lead my people to greatness. The Cinari will do anything to stop me, with their ancient war machines and pathetic armies. But I will push them back and claim what is rightfully mine. We built their Empire with our blood and tears. It is time we take it back. When I was a slave, they called me M-24:6. But as a free man, they know me as Marak. Content warning: This story mentions and features mature content. Which includes sexual assault, torture, gore, genocide, slavery, racism, and more. (Book 1 of 2 of the Capital series)

The Spider's Lair by LiquidThought

In the west, a new evil weaves its web. In the east, prominent houses feud within the Empire. And below the city of Leeside, intrigues are hatched. A half-elf looks up at the two moons that silhouette against the night's sky, his ambitions seeming just as unreachable. His attempts to join an elusive crime syndicate spirals him down a web of intrigue, a web that stretches not only across lands and oceans but below the very ground he walks on. Beware what lurks beneath... A passage from the book: 'To the far north-west under the shadow of mountains, the remains of Wetbrook sat idle like some bloated old corpse. Spider webbing coated the skeletal framework of masonry and in its darkest corners, spiders roamed freely. They dashed from gorging holes in the stonework to immutable tunnels buried in the ground. Some mutations were more accustomed to the light; their glossy carapace blotched brightly in colours of red and yellow. These were the master's children and none of them would harm her.'

Shadow Weaver (Back on Wattpad 2020!) by Claire-Merle

"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.

When she awoke, she found herself no longer in her world but in one with two hanging moons and shadowed monsters hunting her.
