The Watched World

It's been years since the sorcerer Grian created his world, and he has finally returned from his travels. Since then more has changed than he could have ever predicted. His world has split into two factions, the Southlands and the Empire. His towers, once united, have separated. His formulated prosperity has crumbled. There are people now, new people, with their own complications, twisting and distorting his perfect little world. Grian decides to set things right. Forge new bonds, break old barriers.
But they don't turn out right, do they?
Suddenly someone is dying, and our flawed little sorcerer magics up a new set of lives for all of us at the cost of his own immortality.

The story I will tell is not a joyful one.
Nearly everyone will die.
And it's my fault.
