This Book began May 2, 2025, and continues the story of the Shards of Aelryinth in other multiverses and worlds. Finisher in the October 2025 and April 2026 Writathon Challenges! ----------------- Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse, this one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D. This world is oddly familiar, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs... but Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos, evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods, only ascended Immortals going about their personal Projects without much care for the lives and desires of mere mortals. The road to mortal Power is clear and broad, and Funf has a huge head start on matters, but when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, it's going to take a new approach to things to shake up the existing order of things and maybe, just maybe, bring the Light of Heaven and some actual culpability to a bunch of uncaring super-beings...
