In the Iron Kingdoms, death can come in many forms. By far the most terrifying is through the blood magics of the Orgoth, terrible sorcery that haunts the lands long after the warcasters and their colossals threw off the shackles of the slavers. The detectives of the Strangelight Workshop are dedicated to researching the arcane enigmas that shadow the world in the aftermath; but one among them though is not content to merely document the horrors, and feels compelled to fight against it. Accompanied by his trusted Ogrun servant, Orsch, Jonathon will uncover the darkest secrets of the Iron Kingdoms . . . and pray that he is not counted among them.

The Ghost's Crusade by ashinborn
45 parts Complete
When disfigured corpses begin appearing at random during the night in Baedorn, the citizens of the city-state cry demon and call for aid from Antenox, the order of legendary wandering knights who have for centuries slain without mercy both demons and those who would summon them. The order dispatches Drystan Nighttyr, a man who abandoned his future with the Holy Inquisition to join the order, so as to placate the fears of Baedorn's people by tracking down those responsible for the bodies. With him travels the magic-wielding Akkali, an unapologetically brutal Enkiri whose years spent enslaved to a demon-summoning mage makes her uniquely qualified to aid Antenox in their efforts. Drystan's task brings him back into contact with his old life in the Inquisition and his childhood friend Tiernan Brennan, now an Inquisitor Captain charged with much the same mission as he by his superiors within the Church. After a rather bitter reunion in which Tiernan thrashes him soundly for abandoning his brothers and then is nearly killed by Akkali in retaliation, the three find common ground in their search for the source of the patchwork corpses appearing in the night all over the city-state. They find it in the Shalewarrens, abandoned tunnels crisscrossing the Oribian, in the form of a madman driven by an equally mad ghost to assemble an army of homunculi to face a mysterious threat of which only they seem to know. A corpse-stealing espiri mage, however, becomes the least of their worries when they learn of something with a purpose far more sinister beginning to gather power in the trackless forests to the west...

'They pulled the chair across from me out and sat in it. The tavern carried on when the figure made themselves comfortable. My grip tightened on the hilt of the dagger. They pulled the hood of their cloak off and unclasped it. Their movements were relaxed and unhurried. I ran my eyes over him. He had strange black, swirling tattoos on his neck and long, pointed ears. His clothes were plain. I crossed my arms and sat back in my seat, keeping my eyes on his piercing midnight blue ones. He cocked an eyebrow. "Well?" I narrowed my eyes. "Well, what?" "What's your business here?" "I should be asking you that, considering you silenced a room by being in it." "Fair enough." He paused as the bartender brought another tankard over. "I'm looking for a travel companion." His voice was as deep as the shadows surrounding us. "You're an elf... Don't they prefer to travel on their own?" "Fae," he corrected as he pulled a pipe out of thin air. A black wisp of smoke surrounded his hand as he did so. "But yes, we do. I, however, have had enough of my thoughts being my only company." I nodded. "So?" He raised his eyebrows. I shook my head sadly. "This is something I need to do. Alone." "Alright." He looked a bit disappointed, which was odd, considering we had just met. ' What happens when you're going to kill the Unnamed One and meet a mysterious fae on your journey? Do you trust him, or leave him? And what do you do when you find out what he's been hiding? Iowyn Aedithas is on a quest to save her guild. A quest that could potentially be lethal for her. She's an awfully brave (some would say naive) human to be doing this. Demons have been attacking her guild, and she's had enough. She meets Evaris, the mysterious fae, on her journey and he becomes her travel companion. When they reach their destination, he reveals information that's previously been held close.
