Eric Dahl was a busy man. So busy, in fact, he had largely missed the most recent news of the ongoing war that was raging to the East, in the Eastern Border Princes around Khypris. Of course, he could hardly be blamed for that, as not only had he been busy studying, shoring up his borders, and consolidating his position, he had also needed to fend off a trio of assassination attempts on him. Th...

Gilderoy Lockhart was, if he said so himself, damn good with the Mind Arts. Honestly, it was the one thing he had that put him head and shoulders above all his peers and many other older Wizards besides. Accordingly, he liked to keep that capability to himself to use as an ace in the hole, as the parlance went. Of course, this wasn't out of any real sense of fair play, keeping his best tricks b...

It turned out that both Amy and Sheila were out dealing with various issues. Amy was lending her magic to an attempt by the Special Forces to quarantine the town of Canaima near San Francisco, which was currently being overrun by a variety of prehistoric giant spiders that had recently been brought back by a scientific expedition to a remote valley in South America. Meanwhile, Sheila had gone o...

All right, so here we have the images for the last chapter. I'm actually fairly happy with how all these turned out. This may be the one batch of images where I don't have any quibbles with the stuff the AI Generator put out from my prompts. Go figure.
At any rate, the next chapter will be an Interlude with Eric Dahl over in Pugno as we see what's been up with him, as well as see his reac...

The Great Hall of Mantreda was a long, oblong room built of stone and wood. An iron chandelier hung down from a high, vaulted ceiling crisscrossed with wooden beams. In normal times, a small throne would be placed at one end of the Great Hall for the Baron to sit on. Unfortunately, the last Baron, prior to Anders having taken the territory, had been slain after his steward, a local landowner na...

Here we have the Images for the last Chapter, most of these turned out how I wanted them to, though I'd have liked for the Centigor's Greatclub to be more club-like. The AI Generator seemed to think I wanted it to be wielding a staff of some sort instead of a club. It is what it is, though.
At any rate, the next chapter will include the War Council in the Great Hall of Mantreda, then I'll...

Ramsay Bolton, never Snow, Natural Son of Lord Roose Bolton of the Dreadfort, sneered out at the fighting men from his command post at Rimegate, where he held the section of Wall to the west of where Lord Commander Mormont held his overall command post at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. Rimegate was, thanks to the reconstruction plans helped along by Lord Seawynd, not like Castle Black. It was a largely ...

The Mongol Fleet under the Hokkien Admiral Sak Kong Tee was not large by the standards of most fleets of the time. Seventy-Five Ships, of which fifteen were the Shine Ongots or New Ships of the designs laid down by Prince Dalai and Liau Yong Cho. To face them, Goryeo had assembled a fleet of fifty-five Pyeongjeonseon Gunships armed with rockets and small cannons, and fifty-five Gwaseon Ram Ship...

I was awoken by the sound of my mystical alarm going off, followed by shuffling from outside my door. I had cast the Alarm Spell before going to bed, as well as slept in my armor, uncomfortable though it was, largely because I recalled the Wizard Tarnesh trying to assassinate the Canon Bhaalspawn at some point during their stay at the Friendly Arm Inn. As that hadn't happened before we turned i...

I watched as the small Cyrenaican Fleet advanced from the safety of the Spear of Ambracia, my son and heir, Ptolemy, next to me. As Admiral Porphyrios and his second, his nephew Eurybatos, directed our own fleet, I made a count of the enemy ships. Their fleet was small, too small to drive us off. We had arrived with two-hundred-fifty ships, the bulk of them Quadriremes, but also...

The next few weeks went by fairly quickly. I spent a bit of time getting the Lay of the Land on Earth in general, while simultaneously spending time in Metropolis just patrolling and getting to know the City. I even began looking into getting an actual apartment in the City, with my Gold and Platinum deposits in the bank affording me plenty of options, even in the extremely swanky New Troy Neig...

The time came for my rematch with Draco soon enough, as we both found ourselves down in the Slytherin Duelling Pit. This time, it seemed that the entire House had turned up to watch, while last time it had only been members of our own year, plus those in the know about myself and Draco. I even saw seventh years present, like Rhys Maybury, whose pet Kneazle, Sharpe, was curled on her lap as she ...

Mantreda was a town of eleven thousand people, just over twice what Alynda had been before I had begun building it up into a commercial hub for the Tana Dante river trade. It was still considered a small town by Imperial or Tilean Standards, just barely exceeding the ten-thousand-person benchmark that the more built-up nations used to demarcate villages from towns. The town thrived on th...

Sarsfield had fallen, and with it, the last corridor that Tywin Lannister could take to break out of the trap that Stannis had enclosed him in at the Crag. The only possible way that he might even try to escape now would be if he went by sea. While that wasn't impossible at this point, as at least one of the feuding parties in the Iron Isles had clearly taken his coin, Stannis had received a le...

Here we have the images for the last chapter. I'm not a hundred percent sold on some of these, especially the Jabberslythe, which looks a lot less chaotic than I had hoped, but it is what it is, and I already dumped ten credits down the drain on that one alone. Perfect is the enemy of good enough in this case.
At any rate, the next chapter will include the Battle of Mantreba, as the MC an...

Immediately, I lashed out with my Adamantine Rapier for the closest Hobgoblin's back. My Rapier punged into and through the back of his neck, a foot of razor-sharp adamantine metal sticking out of his throat as my blade sunk in and through his neck. I withdrew my blade as the Hobgoblin dropped to the ground, dead. Next to me, Jaheira smashed her Darkwood Club into the back of another Hobgoblin'...

Iapetus' fleet was burning all around him as the Exalted Jade Emperor, Yu Huang Shang Ti, sat on his command throne in the Pel'tac of his flagship, the Ha'tak Cruiser Tian Lung. Lord Yu smirked as he watched the tactical screens. Iapetus' Fleet wasn't as large or as technically advanced as his own modified Ha'taks, but he had made up for that with morale and suicidal tactics. More than...

It took half a day of searching gullies and ravines before we found the first signs of habitation by the Crimson Flake Bandits. It wasn't much, a broken arrow half-hidden by dirt in the ravine. It was something, though, and a thing I could use to help instill a bit of tradecraft into the kids. After all, if the arrowhead was worn, pitted, rusted, or what have you, it could have just been...

I caught strep throat and am trying to take it easy. The chapter output will be slower accordingly. Apologies in advance, but I can barely breathe because my throat hurts so much. We'll see how much I can get done once I get my antibiotics. Once again, apologies in advance.

The Battle of the Alynda Turnip Field opened with the Gors of the enemy force charging into a hail of Gunfire from my Dragoons. Their Streltsy Revolving Autorifles pumped out a veritable wall of lead even as the Gors attempted to close. At six shots per cylinder, working based on a combination lever-action and revolver principle, the front few ranks of charging Gors never stood a chance, especi...

Classes for the next ten days were fairly easy. Herbology had us learning both Incendio Duo and how to use it to defeat slugs, which was fairly concentration-heavy for most folks, owing to the need to precisely target small creatures with the powerful green flames. I found myself having to help some of my classmates figure it out, including Hannah and Susan, both of whom learned to cast the spe...

We'd done a bit of a detour heading North out of South Town, largely based on a series of random happenstance. First, we were forced to detour east of Saint Louis after some sort of truck coming back from the decommissioning of an Ultratech Plant in Kansas City had jackknifed, spilling a bunch of highly mutagenic, highly addictive Ephemerol Two all over the outskirts of Saint Louis. We'd detour...
