Homecoming
The frost covers my cloak and the wind bites at my face. I embarked in the Springtime on this… Endeavor. This fool’s errand. Through treacherous mountains, Creatures most foul, And men even more so. More wounds and scars than I care to count. Companions came and went. Most died. Some by misadventure, Most by my…

Transference
So many, many years ago, you took everything from me. My family, my place in the tribe. Everything. For years, I wandered, alone, swearing an oath of vengeance upon you. So many times, I thought I had taken my revenge. I had seen my spear pierce your chest, only to see you alive weeks later.…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (11.1)
The remainder of Korv’s journey through Meadow Field was uneventful. There was a chill wind in the air, but the clouds had parted slightly and the sun shone down from above. Korv still felt a slight uneasiness, but it was more akin to the thrill one feels before an impending battle than a feeling of…

From Ash, Arisen
A kingdom crumbles all around me. Wails of agony echo through the cold night air. Still, I have arisen. Licking flames and acrid smoke engulf me. I choke on ash and taste my own blood. Still, I have arisen. My tribe slaughtered like livestock to market. Their souls like coin to the merchant called Death.…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (11)
Korv awoke to a cloudy and windy morn in the village. Indeed, Mother Nature sounded fierce this day! As was his tradition, Korv made his usual brew, and went outdoors to soak in the morning. It moved his spirit and energized him for the day ahead. There has been a soaking rain the night before,…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (10)
T’was yet another rainy morn when Korv awoke. It was a light, peaceful rain and he chose to wander outside to enjoy the cool, calming air. Korv truly enjoyed mornings like this.

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (8)
T’was a light rain falling when Korv awoke. He had not slept well the night before and had to will himself to get out of bed, lest the temptation to stay there become too great. He made his morning brew, and decided to stand outside for a few moments and enjoy the quiet of the…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (7.1)
While he was relaxing after his training, Korv took some time to read the words of his fellow villagers. This was always an enjoyable portion of his day, as he often found inspiration, creativity and topics of deep thought to ponder. First, he read the words of Sir Edward the Guardian. Sir Edward was a…

A Farewell To Fantasy Fridays (03/01/24)
Well, maybe not a total farewell to them, but a hiatus in the least. I’ve been doing some thinking about the direction of this little shindig for a couple weeks now, and I have also been talking to some fellow bloggers about it, and I am going to be changing some things up. With No…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (7)
Korv awoke this morning with a slight chill in his bones. Mother Nature had decided to play a cruel prank on the denizens of the realm, it seems! Where the day prior had brought rains, the temperature had been moderate. Today, however, the temperatures had dropped drastically, and the winds gusted with the fury of…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (6)
Korv awoke to a rainy morn with the feeling that something was amiss. What, he did not know, but deep within his bones something did not feel right. He stretched, let out a loud yawn, and shrugged to himself. He made his normal morning brew and stared out the window, deep in contemplation. Korv truly…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (2)
Korv stared at the mighty hammer before him. He had lifted it so many times before. Surely, his strength had not diminished that much. Confidently, he reached down to grasp it. As his fingers curled around the knurled handle, he proceeded to lift, and… Nothing. The hammer did not budge even a whisper. Korv stared…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (1)
It had been many months since the last campaign, and despite his untimely exile, Korv the Barbarian adjusted nicely to life away from the battlefield. Indeed, he had pressed hard and proven his mettle in countless battles. His downfall had come when he insulted the conniving, self-proclaimed countess of the realm. Korv had realized the…
