It was a cold and windy night, the kind where the sky echoes with the howls of the Wild Hunt, when I saw a reiler work their craft. He worked his loom with the most nimble of claws, and told me of his patron, the deity known as Frij. Frij is the deity of that special, mysterious …

Dragon Gods: Tyra
An interesting figure in the dragonic pantheon, and one I cannot find much information about, is the goddess known as Tyra. Unusually, given the long memories of dragons, most dragons I speak to know very little about her, save that she is associated with war and justice. One elder I asked did offer an interesting bit …
Dragon Gods: Thårra
...but the most popular dragon god is, by far, the one known as Thårra, goddess of storms, war, and agriculture. It is she who is most invoked in times of need. Perhaps unusual for a god, she is quite invested in mortals, not only dragons, and not above getting involved in their troubles. Odwyna may …
Dragon Gods: Odwyna
It is said that the one-eyed god known mostly as 'Odwyna' is the keeper of knowledge among the dragons. Mortals who are deemed worthy may be given snippets of that knowledge, and that is how the dragons came to have their alphabet. But Odwyna is also known as a goddess of battle, and unlike some …
Empire of the Dragon
The Empire of the North, that great kingdom which has stood for countless generations of Rhynodd, fell during the reign of the Hervald Dagmar, the Unwanted Queen. She was not meant to take the White Throne, that right was to go to her elder sister, the ill-fated Odwyn Strongwing. When Dagmar assumed the throne following …
A People of Myth and Magic
“What're the Enisirran islands?” Sann flattened his ears. He thought he might have heard the name before, but he wasn't sure. “The most beautiful place in the world, my boy,” Hiarnan said, turning back to include Sann in the conversation. They had an even wider smile on their face, matched only by the smile on …
Raw Food Diets, or Why it Takes Me Forever to Edit
So in my stories, I always like to strive for a bit of realism. Of course, I gotta rely on some suspension of disbelief. There are certain things that just can't work in the real world, at least not with our current understanding of the laws of physics and such. But the suspension of disbelief …

A Place of Mystery
Almost as soon as she entered the forest, all light from the outside world vanished. Odwyn paused and glanced over her shoulder. Despite only being a few trees in from the border, she could not see anything of the plains she had just left behind. She looked up. The canopy overhead looked like a solid …
Dragons of the Black Forest
Odwyn knew very little about Varthurst. The few dragons who had visited it all described it in hushed whispers as a shadowy, fearful place, with people just as unfriendly as the forest. All sorts of dangerous creatures lurked in the undergrowth, unseen by foreign eyes. Few non-Varthurstling were ever allowed outside the border towns. —excerpt …
The Svanling Dragons
The Storm Witch huffs, her thin nostrils flaring as cold air blows over Hycath, sending down her spine. She swallows again. Some stories claim the northern dragons can freeze a person with their breath, and she hopes she isn’t about to discover the truth of those stories. —excerpt from The Voyage Tale of Hycath Once the …
