I've always loved the sea - the sight and sound of rolling waves, the tang of salt in the air, they've aways lifted and refreshed my spirits. Even the sulphurous fumes from the volcano which sometimes drift across the town and the beaches don't mar the effect. As I alight from the ferry I become imm...

Above our lands the 'rifter rides The gift of light it brings Destroying darkness, banishing night - Day comes on golden wings. From staunch defenders of the lands To bees stirring in their hives Day by day that brilliant orb Counts the measure of our lives. At break of day or fall of night Colourin...

A black banner is affixed securely to a stout pole. The upper quadrant, adjacent to the pole, depicts in silver the letters 'TS' nestling within the horns of a crescent moon. Centrally on the banner, again in silver, is a circle of clerics' Holy Rings linked together by lockpicks. Across the circle ...

Pitcher Plant Pies The 'pitchers' of this type of plant are a deadfall trap used for catching prey. They're quite deep, often roughly cylindrical in shape, and will lend themselves to holding a filling of your choice. Personally, I'd prefer minced bosmeat, but any meat or meat-free filling can be u...

We eat to live. But, it seems to me, to share a meal with that one special person - that not only sustains the body, but also reflects and reinforces what exists between the two. The meal itself may be quite simple - but the sharing of it represents the infinite complexity of love. Here's a poem bas...

A few random thoughts on spending time with others, all (sort of) pulled together into one piece of work. Come to the party ... Time to share with friend and Kin In soaring hall, or welcoming Inn Some ale, a bite of food, a smile Escape your labours for a while Fun, and games, will ease your mind So...

Down in the sea caves, water dripping, O'er slaughtered foes and loose stones I'm tripping I look around to trace a sound I've ne'er before heard underground - Boi-oi-oi-oi-ngggggg!!! Listening to echoes through the caverns - Wishing I was safe in one of the taverns! Just what could make the sound I...

Festival time is again here The season of laughter and cheer So pick up your ale, To raise spirits without fail Celebrate with those you hold dear Come gather round friends, guildkin, all Once again 'tis the Fest-time of Fall Time for fun, and for games - What's the costumed ones names? But remember...

I'll attend if at all possible.

Only once have I seen a winklet hunt, and a very unpleasant sight it was. The bird known as the winklet lives in lightly wooded areas, or on the fringes of forests. It settles in a tree, and looks around until it spots its prey. The winklet is about three feet hight when sitting on a branch substant...

Summerfaire sweetplate

Fruit and berries, slightly warmed in their own juice. Topped with a scoop of boscream and sprinkled with finely-crushed candyball.

It was a fine day as I collected together a few tid-bits to use for bait and headed off to the shore of Lake Valorn for a fishing contest hosted by Azure and Urkki. Two Summerfaires back it was, if I remember aright, and the Sunrifter had gifted us with a long, bright and hot day for the event. Ther...

I hope to be able to attend, and take part in, the event.

For the area just east of the Milltown temple ...

It can get messy on the ruined pier and the darkened island beyond. You'll end up spattered in mud, covered with eel slime, and dripping your own lifeblood too.

Having had a chance to recover from the trauma of being in a room from which neither wits nor picks could reveal an escape route... *laughs* ... I'd like to add my thanks for an interesting experience. An opportunity to observe and speculate about something previously unseen, and plenty of food for ...

There are some creatures I just don't like - especially spiders. I absolutely detest the things. One of my worst nightmares is to encounter a spider larger than the ones we see in the lands. The trouble with nightmares is that they can come true ... I was roaming the eastern grasslands a few days ba...
