🥐 Short-Bread: Scraps from the Star-Forge

A crumb may be small, but it still holds the flavor of the fire."
In the vast, cooling expanse of the Ovenfall, not every story is an epic of the Star-Forges. Some are just fragments-shards of Twice-Baked resolve found in the sugar-drifts of the Amber Highlands or desperate whispers caught in the steam of a Doughmancer's ritual.
Short-Bread is a collection of "Batch-Produced" snapshots from across the Sinnamon-Punk galaxy. These are bite-sized tales of noir and grit, flash-baked for the traveler who only has a moment before the Stale sets in.
Within these pages, you will find:
• Flash-Friction: High-octane combat reports from the front lines of the Crumb-Line.
• Syrupy Noir: Self-contained mysteries from the guttering neon streets of the Fondant Cities.
• Abyssal Echoes: Brief, terrifying encounters with the Four Flavors of Ruin.
Each story is a single ingredient in the Final Recipe-small, concentrated, and packing enough heat to keep the frost at bay.
Warning: Best consumed before your internal clock hits the expiration date. In this collection, the sugar is sharp, the cinnamon is explosive, and nothing stays fresh for long.
