Power Compelling

Remnant: Book of Xiandol Chapter 2
At the opposite side of Xiandolia, far at the edge above the rough, cold waters of the sea below, stood the house Weisen, the sanctum of the Magi. For as long as anyone could remember, there lived families and groups of such magically apt people across the land. The magi were those who were able to conjure powers from inside themselves; the elemental magics of fire, ice, or earth, or perhaps twist the forces of their own being into others, animate or otherwise.

Depending on who was asked, the story differed, but the spread of people across the continent started somewhere on what would be the coast of Xiandol. While parts of the coastline were viable for settling, the glacial remains of a previous time of freezing upon the mass left nothing but barren dirt and rock deeper inland.

Cygnus

Mariner: Chapter 5 [Final] The push of the wind was suddenly no match for the pull of the current, but to where, it was unclear. “It’s like the water has a mind of its own here,” Magnus complained under his breath from the helm. Captain Fredrik had his arms crossed over his chest, looking outContinue reading “Cygnus”

Approaching Transition

Mariner: Chapter 4 Some said they could see hints of The Call in the distance, while others argued that nothing was there to see in the wisps of remaining fog. I occasionally caught sight of Ms. Julie on deck, looking out to sea as if seeking the same thing, but I never had the courageContinue reading “Approaching Transition”
