The party finally sets off toward the Black City, and within five minutes it’s clear this 12-day journey is going to feel more like twelve years.

Requiem and Zelphira find themselves trapped in a cart with Prince Lariel II, who reveals several… let’s call them quirks. Some charming, some alarming, some that probably shouldn’t be said out loud in front of polite company. By mile three, the girls have silently agreed on one thing: this is going to require emotional hazard pay.

Then—ambush! The roadside pack of would-be attackers turns out to be the mimicking variety, which is somehow worse. The party handles it with their usual grace: panic, yelling, and Nyx doing something ill-advised but spectacular.

Later, at camp, things calm down just enough to allow for the real danger: meaningful conversations.
Nyx and Ysolde have a tense heart-to-heart that leaves both of them frayed at the edges, and everyone else pretending not to eavesdrop while absolutely eavesdropping.

By nightfall, the road ahead feels longer, the prince feels weirder, and the party’s secrets feel closer to the surface than ever.

🌑 New episodes every week — join us for mimic mayhem, princely red flags, and campfire conversations best left unheard.

Today should have been simple: pack your gear, load the horses, maybe argue over blankets. Instead, it becomes a full-blown episode of Stravian political theater.

Zelphira returns to the hidden armory for some quiet reflection and instead discovers that her spear is decorative (rude), her grandmother left a riddle (ruder), and someone installed a secret passageway like it’s a hobby. Virelia Skorn: mother, grandmother, puzzle-architect.

Borislav, meanwhile, drops enough lore to power a small city. He reveals what he’s found about Aegis Solis—including a certain banner displaying Requiem’s face, which nobody was prepared for, least of all Requiem. He also gives Zelphira the “lead your people or lose everything” talk, with all the tenderness of a steel gauntlet to the sternum.

House Eldreth arrives next, shimmering with confidence and scandal, and after some delightfully dangerous negotiations, an alliance is forged.
Bonus prize: Admiral Corthas Brightwind, who looks like someone wrung him out like a rag. They prepare to return him to the Brightwind siblings, who will definitely have notes.

And just when they think they’ve survived the day, Prince Lariel II shows up—poised, princely, and very ready to start this 12-day trek to the Black City.

Bags packed. Nerves frayed. Secrets simmering.

Time to go.

🌑 New episodes every week — step into riddles, revelations, and road trips with royal baggage.

The Gulthias roots have barely stopped whispering when trouble finds the party again—but this time it’s small, smug, and fox-shaped.

Nyx and Cece stumble into a classic fey bargain (you know, the kind everyone warns you about but you absolutely take anyway).
Sebastian the “fox”—possibly fey, possibly lying—offers a very shiny rock and a story.
Nyx offers… his shadow.
Because of course he does.

Consequences arrive immediately.

Meanwhile, the party finally reaches Virelia Skorn’s funeral, a ceremony so meticulously crafted it could make the Crimson Court weep.
Old alliances stir. Unexpected guests step from the smoke.
And Zelphira—standing alone on the windswept shore—faces the most stressful shot of her life:
ignite the sea-borne pyre, or accidentally humiliate herself in front of half the vampire nobility.

No pressure.

Grief meets mischief. Shadows are optional. And as always in Stravia… nothing stays dead for long.

🌑 New episodes every week — sail with us into fire, fey bargains, and family drama with sharp teeth.

The roots shuddered—and the dark answered.

Deep beneath the Gulthias tree, the party steps through a sentient door that remembers every wound the land has ever taken. Something ancient stirs in the hollow beneath its bark—something that does not want them here.

The path spirals downward into marrow-cold tunnels where old sins rot and rise. Undead gather in the gloom, shaped by hands long gone, driven by a will that still lingers. Steel rings. Magic flares. But for each enemy they strike down, a darker truth waits to stand again.

Are they prepared for what festers at the heart of the blight?
Or will the light of Doruusk reveal more than they ever meant to see?

Part two of our special one-shot—where salvation comes with teeth, and every victory is shadowed by a deeper question.

🌑 New episodes every week — descend with us into the world that refuses to stay buried.

The gods blinked—and Stravia changed.

In this alternate timeline, the Faceless God was never born, the Sunlit Disk never shattered, and the tide of blood never rose. But destiny doesn’t rest; it rewrites.

Under a gentler sun, familiar faces meet again—different choices, different scars, the same ghosts. What if mercy had won? What if power had come at a kinder price? What if the world had turned another way?

Part one of a special one-shot DM’d by our very own Eric—where every answer births a new question, and every light casts a stranger shadow.

The ashes haven’t cooled, but Slavoka won’t wait for grief. In the wake of Lenora’s death, the party scrambles to fill the holes she left behind—knowledge, courage, and the kind of madness that once held them together.

While Zelphira and Traghoul try to steady the pieces, Nyx and Requiem take the hunt to the Red Lantern, racing Seraph Thrynn to reach Grim and Mirelle before the Inquisitor’s net closes. In the shadowed backrooms of that crimson den, truths slip through smoke and wine alike.

But back in the Midnight Garden, something older stirs. A silver-eyed fox waits among the flowers, his smile made of riddles and starlight. Nyx’s bargain with him may mend more than his power—or unmake what’s left of his soul.

Slavoka’s nights are rarely quiet—but tonight, the shouting starts before the screaming. A drunken Sergeant Seran Myrrh staggers in, grief on his breath and fury in his eyes, demanding justice for his sister. Requiem and Zelphira find themselves caught between his crusade and his confession—because when Seran talks about “cleaning out the rot,” he means names they know.

Meanwhile, deep in the library, Lenora’s curiosity finally detonates. Nyx and Traghoul rush to put out more than fires as her latest experiment twists magic into something unrecognizable. Green flames, black whispers, and the kind of silence that means someone isn’t getting back up.

As the embers settle, Ellian’s quill stops mid-word. The party loses more than a voice—it loses direction.

War brews in the north, rot festers in the south, and in the heart of Slavoka… the light flickers.

Secrets catch fire in Slavoka.

General Valtor Blackheart struts in with military swagger, Seraph Thrynn follows with questions sharper than his blade, and suddenly Zelphira’s social calendar is national security. A ball, you say? Sounds like more than just dancing shoes will be at stake.

Meanwhile, the party drops a few rebellious breadcrumbs, pointing Seraph toward Paeder Ashtorn’s extracurricular abuses. Will the Inquisitor bite? Or will Paeder keep playing puppeteer from the shadows? Stay tuned.

And then there’s Lenora. When she says “urgent,” she means urgent. Nyx and Traghoul rush to hear her out, only to discover her latest experiment involves coins that burn green, darkness that eats the light, and three pairs of eyes you never want staring you down. Missing her spell components and very much out of luck, Lenora learns firsthand that sometimes curiosity doesn’t just kill the cat—it stabs you three times while whispering in your ear.

Some generals love to march. Some inquisitors love to pry. And some experiments… should’ve stayed in the lab.

Secrets never stay buried in Slavoka.

Luma proves she is a lot more than anyone guessed, and things get loud when the necromancer Nevira Duskwraith decides to crash the party. Spells fly, steel sings, and Requiem pulls off not one but two wildly reckless (or should we say reqless) stunts to keep Luma alive. Heroic? Absolutely. Suicidal? Probably. Entertaining? You bet.

And just when the smoke clears, the heavyweights arrive. General Valtor Blackheart, High Inquisitor Seraph Thrynn, and Seran Myrrh step into Slavoka like they own the place. The party better move fast if they don’t want to be caught flat-footed when the real game begins.

Some secrets blow up bigger than expected. Some friends are braver than wise. And some entrances… really know how to ruin the mood.

Whispers of treachery echo beneath Slavoka.

The party turns their gaze inward, pressing a captured zealot of the Bleeding Eye for answers. Each confession cuts deeper, revealing shadows that stretch back to a figure of legend in the city’s underworld. Truth drips slow and bitter, but not all wounds bleed clean.

As secrets unravel, Nevira comes to claim the prize she was promised by Nyx. Yet in the heart of her smile lurks betrayal, and a single wrong step may ignite a fire that none can quench.

Some oaths are shackles. Some allies wear masks. And some bargains… demand a heavier price than gold.
