    Summary

    At the end of the warm season, chauffeur Crick Wellsley gets a travel request most bizarre: to take someone from the depths of Stormhail down the most winding, scenic route of the East Continent, to the New Delsta Anchorage. He accepts, of course, because it’s good money. Little does he know just what he’s getting into, and with who.

    [Consistently inconsistent update schedule.]

    Summary

    After leaving Stormhail and fleeing to Montwise with his wounded Godsblade, Temenos comes up with an idea upon recalling a story about Aelfric.

    A story of how "the Flamebringer, wielder of the most holy of magic—fueled by the very light of the Sacred Flame itself—was able to release all of his power in a single, devastating spell, burning away the darkness and reducing his enemies to ash."

    And so, as Aelfric's chosen cleric and fellow practitioner of holy magic, it obviously stood to reason that (despite what anyone else might have to say about it) he should be able to cast such a spell as well.

    Right?

    (Or, Temenos sets out to learn Heavenly Shine, with varying degrees of success. Because unfortunately, wielding the power of a god was never going to be easy).
