When cultures and civilizations clash, war is the path of least resistance. True heroes fight to prevent bloodshed. A woods witch named Lady Galdr bargains her ancient soul to protect the natural world from marauding invaders. Her sacrifice will not be enough. To heal the land, she must unite four souls marked by fate. A hulking subterranean Tengu, an indigenous warrior with magical tattoos, a woman who can work the miracles of a foreign god, and a young squire find themselves tied to a conflict that is spiraling out of control. As the woods witch and her allies foster peace, ancient evils emerge, conspiring to keep the land fragmented. WHAT TO EXPECT: Epic adventures that call to mind an immersive D&D campaign. Progression fantasy where growth is earned. Memorable characters with distinct arcs. New chapters twice a week on Monday and Thursday.
