High in the Cloudwall Mountains in the Province of Krakovar, five mercenaries are trapped in a village that has fallen under the suspicion of its vampiric overlords in the Duchy of Morgau, and which is host to an arcane orrery, a weapon of mass destruction that can alter the very fabric of time. Already (according to one of the mercenaries who supposedly lived through it) the orrery has caused one possible chain of future events to unravel. With the help of the local dwarves and the lady of the village, Liraset Tohl, the mercenaries are racing to dismantle the orrery before it falls into the clutches of one of the dark kingdoms of the undead.All Rights Reserved

A Kiss of Fate by the_wikked_wordsmith

The wheels of fate have started turning, setting into motion the deathly chariot of destiny... It all began with a piece of parchment-a missive from Eitheon that confirmed Vorigan's darkest fears. The Emperor of Aria sent forth the formidable members of the Imperial Guard to seek out the last descendant of Ilirion's Bloodline. Little did he know, she was nearer than they had anticipated, and one of their own was keeping her hidden from Vorigan's sight. Ayana knew they would come for her one day, but she did not expect it to be so soon... Can Ayana protect her loved ones? Can she escape the clutches of the ill famed Imperial Guard? Can she truly outrun the fiery tentacles of fate?

The Last Crucible: Blood Witch by ThalovianArchon

When a group of Bryrwood elves are captured in the East Mountains by an old witch, a reluctant mercenary is tasked by a Western King to aid an escaped elf in rescuing his surviving comrades. But what they find is far worse than a simple witch and her grotesque "children". -------------------- Jhon Darric is your average, run-of-the-mill mercenary; he fights for gold and silver, and then he drinks it away. Known to have a shadowy past he refuses to talk about, he considers himself a "lone soul", and doesn't find the need for friends. He'll do any job for money, so long as he can bloody his blade too. When he's called upon by King Eudmond to assist a company of soldiers to investigate the claim of a Thalovin elf, his whole world is turned upside down when he is thrust into a battle against a powerful witch whose intentions are unknown, but surely evil - and he is left with the choice of becoming a hero and discovering his destiny, or turning his back and returning to a life of drinking and peace. -------------------- Elindir is not just another Bryrwood elf, he is a Thalovin of the Bryrwood; an order of intensely trained elves who are trained to be the most deadliest warriors of their kingdom, and potentially their entire race. Known as the "First Order", Thalovin elves have been trained and tested since they first walked Midland. He is assigned to a small group of Thalovin elves, along with a mage of the Magi Order, a warrior and twin girls, who are tasked to scout along the treacherous East Mountains, where his group is ambushed by a witch and her grotesque, wolf-goblin like creatures. He manages to escape the witches grasp, but now must seek help from the Western Kings of Midland in order to rescue his companions - if any have survived. -------------------- Copyright January 2025.

Warlords by Safa-935

In a fractured land teetering on the edge of chaos, three unlikely fates are destined to intertwine. An elven warrior, driven by duty and wielding a spear with deadly precision. An orc leader, haunted by the death of his brother and a legacy of bloodshed. A betrayed prince, stripped of his crown and forced to flee, seeking vengeance and redemption. Their journeys converge as tensions rise across the land, and the threat of war looms on the horizon. Ancient rivalries resurface, and the balance of power grows ever more fragile. Each carries their own burdens, their own vendettas, but in a world where trust is scarce and enemies lurk in every shadow, alliances are forged in blood and fire. This is a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and redemption-a fantasy epic where survival demands sacrifice, and power comes at a cost.
