antagonist anthology collection darkmagic divine dragons fantasy horror lendral magic shadowlands worldbuilding

A collection of mythopoeic stories.

Somewhere in the heart of mists and silence, something is stirring, a presence biding its time.

A mysterious plague befalls a town, its effects devastating and merciless. Nightmarish abominations stalk the land, terrorizing settlements and travelers. The cold winds of a jagged mountain peak whisper maddening thoughts of hunger and deception.

Something powerful stretches its influence slowly across the world of Lendral, and now that which has been forgotten must be remembered.All Rights Reserved

Call to War by kensei_alth

[COMPLETED] Whiteridge is a kingdom known for their fierce warriors. Merek Blackstone, a young officer-cadet of the Whiteridge standing army, faces his first battle. The town of Cromerth stands in the path of an unstoppable horde of risen dead. The Plague Dwellers march, heralded by a sickly green fog, and led by a knight that leaves none alive.

Sin's Soul Simmulacrum by ElyCady

Sequestered within the frozen wastes of Cania, eighth layer of hell, Devils and Fiends work foul magics and crafts in the pursuit of forbidden knowledge. But one wicked being has done something unthinkable; created a soul. A soul that cannot abide the unbridled cruelty of such a torturous realm, and cries out for release. A yearning that will lead them up the layers of hell in a desperate break for freedom. But Hell hath such a fury... (This is set in the Dungeons and Dragons Universe, but is focused on original characters. So i'd consider it half-fanfiction)

The Omens of a Crow [COMPLETE] (Watty 2018 Award-Winner) by DakotaKemp

A deadly plague burns through the village of Bliss, and a weary stranger approaches on a pale horse. The stranger doesn't know what treachery, fear, and pain he might encounter in the desperate village. He thinks he doesn't have anything left to lose. But it's not the plague, the murderers, or the terror he finds that reveals damnation. What he brings with him could destroy everything he still loves.

the rise of the void by prsolsona

After their victory at the Temple of Elarion, the guardians are celebrated as heroes, but they know the threat of the Void is far from over. The dark leader's ominous words echo in their minds, spurring them to uncover more about this looming menace. As they study the tome and consult with scholars and sages, they learn that the Void is an ancient, primordial force of chaos and entropy, intent on unbalancing the world and consuming its light. The guardians' quest takes them across diverse and dangerous lands. They seek out hidden archives, long-forgotten temples, and wise hermits, each revealing pieces of a larger puzzle. They learn that the Void can be temporarily repelled but never fully destroyed, as it is a natural counterpart to the light. However, there are ways to maintain the balance, ensuring that neither side gains dominance. Their journey is fraught with peril as the Void's influence begins to manifest more visibly, corrupting nature, warping creatures, and drawing in those who seek power. The guardians must face off against these corrupted beings, all while dealing with their internal struggles and the growing pressure of their mission. In a climactic revelation, they discover that the convergence mentioned in the tome-the alignment of stars that amplifies the Star of Elion's power-also has a counterpart: a celestial event that strengthens the Void's influence. This event is rapidly approaching, and the guardians realize they must act quickly to prepare. The story culminates in a desperate bid to gather allies and fortify a sacred site believed to be a focal point of the Void's influence. As the celestial event looms, the guardians face their greatest challenge yet, battling not just physical manifestations of the Void but also the lure of despair and doubt within themselves.

A RANGER IS BORN by Eshl1111

First off, this story was not written by me. I am posting it for a friend of mine, with permission of course. This took place in a Dungeons & Dragons game over 30 years ago. It is a about how one of the player characters got his start; Crentar Bronn. He is a human ranger of 1st level in this story. This is important to note, because it'll bring more perspective as you read the story. I was the DM (Dungeon Master) for this game. At the time, we were still in high school, which of course, gives away our age. lol I decided to have each character do it solo before they actually met up with each other. A teaser so-to-speak. Eventually, there was five player characters in the game. My friend who ran Crentar Bronn remembers this whole solo adventure to this very day in great detail. A few years after the game is when he wrote this story. We were recently reminiscing about 'old times' and he told me that he actually wrote it out as a story. He was then able to find it on an old hard drive & then sent it to me. I was very surprised at how good this is & how great his memory was from that adventure. I'm flattered that he was so inspired by it, that he turned it into a story! I hope you enjoy this early adventure of Crentar Bronn as much as we did. Perhaps, with enough comments & likes, he'll be inspired to write more chapters. THX

Throne Of Resonance by Marium_stvr269

In a realm where magic had never existed, Leshanna gets lured into an adventure by a mysterious sorcerer by the name of Jake and learns that there is more to the realms than meets the eye. She comes across two dragons, Gavin and Mango, who accompany her on a perilous quest to acquire all the Sacred Relics before the Nightmare King can destroy all the good that remains in the realms. Along the way she makes new friends, finds allies and discovers her long-lost family and hidden lineage of royalty. (A work in progress atm, hoping to publish my own book(s) so I would appreciate if no one stole my ideas from anything I create here or on Quotev)
