Long ago, there was a great battle that was forgotten with time. Long before some monkeys learned to hit each other with sticks, wars were waged on a much grander scale. Entire clades of species conducted an arms race against each other that spanned eons. In this conflict, the entirety of human history is only the blink of an eye. Simply a single moment.

Book Announcement
A quick message for the small group of people who are subscribed to me and anyone else who might stumble across this. I am proud to say that I have published my first book. Through the Ages is a short poetry book featuring poems inspired by historical events.
The Princess, the Dragon, and the Tower
Clarissa, Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Brethonia, was not the biggest fan of parties. Too many drunk noblemen convinced that they were the Divine’s gift to all women. Too many social niceties that she had to keep track of for diplomatic reasons. And far too few excuses for her to avoid wearing a corset.

The Dwarf and the Kraken
Red Beard was a fearsome dwarf to behold. A grizzled sailor with his face tanned to a tough leather by years of salt spray, windburn, and hours in the sun. His right arm ended halfway down his forearm, replaced by a vicious-looking hook that itself showed many dents and scratches from years of use. He was a sight to behold and unnerved many people with his simple presence.

The multiverse can best be described as a series of bubbles of reality. Each bubble is a universe unto itself. These universes all have their own laws of physics, which are roughly similar but often feature distinct differences. Some of these universes are “near” each other. The rules of measuring their relations do not follow Euclidean geometry, but they are consistent and, with the right equipment, can be measured. The area between them is called “The Space Between Spaces”, or sometimes just “The Void”.

Many races describe Dwarves as great singers. Something that all visitors of Dwarven cities will agree upon is that the halls of their cities echo with a harmony of song. The very presence of the city filled with the refrain “I am a Dwarf, and I’m digging a hole!” What many non-Dwarves don’t realize is that they are often not actually singing. The song is simply what a Dwarven soul sounds like.

Long ago, Orcs prided themselves on their skill as marauding raiders. At first, raiding was simply the only way that they could get by. Their homeland was resource-scarce, so it was only by raiding established settlements that they could gather any resources. For centuries, Orcs roamed the land pillaging everything they could. But such a lifestyle cannot be maintained forever, so something had to change eventually.
