Wander is a scarecrow, a lost child of the Realm who gradually lost his memories until nothing was left but a straw-filled husk. After a chance encounter leads to Wander remembering his name, a wild wisp leads Wander from the safety of his field to a young, black-feathered harpy separated from her flock. They search for the flock only to find them imprisoned in the nearby farming community of Jardinfae, blamed for the theft of the wisps that protected the town. Joined by the town's gruff teddy sheriff, Wander and his friends search across the fields of Jardinfae, the trees of the Patchwork Woods, and into the depths of the Lumen Mountains in hopes of finding the lost wisps so they can vindicate the flock and ultimately save Jardinfae from a threat that seeks to purge the light from the town forever.

I have read a tale not of my own land, but from far to the south, across seas and swamps where no pale-skin man has set his claim. It is the story of one the Lizardkin name Wanderer-a chieftain's heir who left his home to seek knowledge among strangers, and who returned years later to find his people divided, beset by famine, pride, and shadow. The verses speak of fire-fire in the forge, fire in the heart, fire in the bonds of kin. The Wanderer brought with him new craft, a spark of steel, and with it the promise that the clans might rise from division into strength. Yet the tale is no simple triumph. It is sung in grief and blood as much as in hope, for every gift carries its price, and unity is hard-won among those who have been broken. The old words mark his path through exile, return, trial, and bond. They tell of allies gained, rivals challenged, omens seen, and choices made that would shape not only his clan, but all Lizardkin. At its heart, it is not merely a tale of war or of kingship, but of whether fire-whether hope-can endure against the deepening shadow that waits beyond the mists. I cannot say where this story ends, nor what became of the Wanderer or the clans he sought to bind together. But I know this: the fire he bore was real, and its embers yet glow in the hands of those who carry his memory northward. And so I write it here, not as prophecy, nor as warning, but as testimony: a recovered legend from beyond our sight, set down that we might not forget that fire burns even where we do not walk. -Brother Guy of Walnut Hill Abbey, reluctant scribe of Sir Gideon Beckett

The Third Blood

11 parts Ongoing

In a forgotten time, myths are not just stories they are warnings. The seven children of the Creator once walked the earth, each gifted with power beyond imagination. But when mankind's sins grew too heavy, their bloodlines twisted into curses and they vanished but their vow of revenge never died. When the cursed return, humanity's only hope lies in a mysterious girl marked by her unusual beauty, and burdened by her dark past. She is destined to be the strongest opponent of the cursed... but where does her loyalty lie? With the light she fears she has lost, or with the darkness that promises her the justice she craves? The fate of mankind rests on her choice.
