Belonging

“Khari, do you think we belong here?” Reid sat awkwardly against the wall of Khari’s tent.

He’d just never felt quite as … Continue reading Belonging →

Preceded by: Orua, Session One, Part V: The Rondrell Home “I need to go check on Melark.” Delphine strode off purposefully, leaving Garrett to stand, frozen, next to Rowan.

Orua, Session One, Part IV: The Calldecs “Oh, Simm.” The leaden weight that sat upon Delphine’s heart grew heavier The Rondrell home sat at the end of the street that curved northward toward Rowan’s house.

Orua, Session One, Part IV: The Calldecs

Orua Session One: Awakening

His first few moments of waking touched upon him like a tormented dream.

The Orua Campaign

Greetings, friends. The next few entries on Daydreams are going to be slightly different from others, though perhaps not to such a degree that anyone might notice if I didn’t mention it. Still, I thought it would still be worthwhile to give this preface. Over two years ago, I began a Dungeons and Dragons campaign … Continue reading The Orua Campaign →
