Summary
Two years have passed since the events of Wheels of Thunder, and all Arashi and her lovers wish for is to enjoy a happy, peaceful life. But when an old friend arrives at their doorstep with a dreadful warning, it's clear that a new storm is on the horizon.
After his part in Garlemald's near-ruination, Zenos Galvus has avoided a homecoming for as long as he can. Now at last the time has come to face the sins of his past under Athena's control, but the wounds of his father have bled far deeper than he realised, and ghosts from long ago now rise to haunt his every step.
As dreadful foes and familiar faces new and old take to the stage, all signs point westward to the land of the golden dawn. Will the Turali Grand Prix bring glory or calamity? And what price will be paid by those bold enough to challenge it?

Summary
The Source and its Reflections have been saved by the (now retired) Warrior of Light, and the realms have found a relative peace. But an old regret lingers in Arashi's mind, and with some unusual help she seeks to rectify it.
Halmarut thought herself vanquished following her confrontation with the Warrior of Light, but by the same woman's hand she finds herself revived and presented with an offer: To see the worlds she sought to destroy in a short-sighted attempt to save what she could.
Their road will be a long and winding one, fraught with revelations of the heart and the worlds. But can these two bitter foes turn a new page and forge a future of peace? Or will their old wounds prove too painful to pave over?
Began life as chapter 15 of Assorted Storms. Contains spoilers for 7.4, 7.5, and expansions that haven't happened yet. Somehow.

Summary
The world of Gateway barely held out against an invasion by the demonic Golden Legion. In the shadow of the Legion's Shroud, an arcane sigil that disabled long-range communication and teleportation magic, a technological boom took off across the nations of the Northern Alliance. Now focused on rebuilding, the industrial nation of Dallmoor is one of the pioneers of this revolution, riding the waves of modernization by investing in radios and telegraphs.
Inside the Dallmooran military, the shrewd and severe Colonel Cordelia Blériot Heim drafts plans that have the potential to drastically alter the trajectory of not only her nation, but the world at large. When a young, bright-eyed radio operator joins her crew, Cordelia must contend with the path she has chosen for herself, and what role her new adjutant will come to play.
My GM gave me capital B Brainworms about a character I won't even be playing for two campaigns from now. Based in Gateway, a world incorporating parts of the Gears of Revolution adventure path, but has over two decades become a sprawling and ever-evolving world that I'm excited to play in every week.

Summary
“Forgive the intrusion,” she murmurs, eyes flickering from the floor to Wuk Lamat and back. “The backrooms are terribly quiet this time of day, and I thought… Perhaps we could talk?”
It shakes Wuk Lamat out of her stupor, the softness of Sphene’s voice as she fidgets.
“But surely you require your own rest. I apologize-”
“Come in.”Bookmarked by Wordybird
