Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Conquest: Recruitment Tools
While my immediate goal is to cross the Matani river and take the keep at the center of Vendrien's Well, aided by both armies rallying under Kyros' banner, my larger responsibility is to interpret and enforce the laws of our empire. Justice is that standard or...
