Shah froze, his ears straining as he suddenly heard it. Hissing. Slithering. Something singular, and big, moving beneath them. It was close enough to feel, although he’d never do it. To reach out, place his palm against the coat of leaves and feel the hide rub against his own: No, never. The...
Shah’s chain rattled in time with the wheels of the wagon; his body shuffling uneasily as the road shook the axles with more force than felt safe.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like not feeling the ground beneath him, and did not trust something that would move for him. Nor the beast – the...
Just realised that I don't actually know the imperial system as well as I thought I did. Being Swedish myself, I can confidently say that most of my white female friends are actually around 5'8 or taller. Jeez, didn't know we were such giants.
I'm in awe by how many people above 6'7 I know...
@Syrenrei It's fine, it wasn't very obvious anyways.
Although yeah, we're way tall. Doesn't this put our average height at like 5'8 or 5'9 or something?
@Syrenrei Actually, Shah's height is stated. Less than 4 and half a foot (4'5, to be exact)
Also, he can't really stand up straight, so he looks even shorter most of the time.
Quick question: How long ago was the Fall? Cause in my head I'm thinking somewhere like, World War 1 long ago. Like, long enough ago that people remember people who remembered it, but nobody remembers it personally.

Were they not once proud men? They must have been. The People of the Six Cities linger in the ruins of their homes. It might have been fondness, had they been sentimental. No, the People do not care about what once...

<em>I</em><em>n the cavernous depths of the Seventh City, the wet and lightless dungeons fill their cells of steel and iron with criminal and creature alike. Down its winding halls steps the shuffling form of an old scribe. He raises a gnarled finger and counts the cells as he passes...
Then why have all of the shit creatures too? What kind of greater being decides that they're going to make one awesome being and one terrible one? Why make something that requires sleep?
I agree with @Syrenrei . My problem with elves is that nothing like a supreme being could have naturally evolved. None of their characteristics have any particular drawbacks. Humans, who are the closest thing to superior on earth, are completely useless and vulnerable for years after their...
When I was a toddler, a strange Chinese couple actually kidnapped me for like an hour so that they could take pictures with me in the Forbidden City. Security rescued me eventually; never found out what happened to them.

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Yeah, this is far from done... </span> It’s a living. Well, so is every job, but that’s what you keep telling yourself. You’re wondering if the starving have not found true peace and happiness within this world. Aside from the rich fuck you work...
