AND THE RISE OF THE ETERNAL PALADIN Ulfgar, paladin, dwarf. Ulfgar has been a background character in a number of my stories, and this, the longest of my works, is his tale. He is the most important character in the world of the Four Realms, he is the author's alter ego, and is the perfect guide to explain everything that's likely confused you so far. Continue to the first part to read the rest of the introduction. Content: Ulfgar swears a lot, he is a bit on the thick side to begin with although that does improve over the years, he has no compunction whatsoever in killing evil folk, he's rather prudish about sex and although he is gay, (or to use the language of the Four Realms, Masculine Attracted) he is, at least to begin with, embarrassed about his preferences of attraction and flatly refuses to turn his journal into "A sordid page turner", to use his own words. The story does include violence and Ulfgar dealing with some pretty gruesome people. I do not think I've been overly graphic about anything, so I'm not marking this story as mature, but if anyone thinks otherwise please tell me. Note that the cover image does not belong to me.

Vädrion is a vast, ancient world built on the living architecture of roots, magic, and forgotten divinity. At its dawn, three Primordials shaped creation itself Väthar the Protector, Kaelvyr the Creator, and Ruinmar the Destroyer. From their essence rose the Loyal Eight, divine beings who nurtured dawn, moonlight, healing, forests, oceans, craft, fate, and peaceful death. But betrayal shattered the world. The Rebel Gods usurped creation, rewrote history, and plunged mortals into ages of lies. When the long-buried Rootspire finally rose again, prophecy awakened and truth returned. Across continents, kingdoms, bloodlines, and lost races, the Convergence reshaped reality and rebalanced the forces of magic, nature, and mortality. Now restored by the Nameless One's choice, Vädrion enters the Age of Balance an era where Primordials, gods, mortals, and all living things must share the future together. Vädrion is a world of ancient language, living roots, divine history, mythic wars, and new beginnings. It is a setting full of stories yet to be told. This is a worldbuilding concept, not a complete story. Vädrion is an open setting designed for writers, novelists, and TTRPG creators who want to build their own tales within it. Feel free to transform, expand, or reinterpret any part of this world. Let me know if you enjoy it and want more. If you want, I can format this like an introduction page, a preface, or a TTRPG-style overview.

Ri is faced with an impossible demand- to get a thousand gold pieces before summer's end. It won't be easy but luckily he meets a mysterious huntress named Jolana- who is in fact a banished princess- and others like five killing machine brothers, a man stuck in a deer's body, and a master thief with an untrained mage- set out to kill a blabber mouth Dragon and take all its gold.

For centuries, the fractured realms have relied on the Nexus Heart to hold their worlds together. But as the Convergence-a celestial event of immense power-destabilizes reality, the Heart begins to unravel, and with it, the balance of all existence. Drawn to Eclipse Hollow, where the realms collide, four heirs from rival dynasties converge, each carrying their dynasty's hopes, secrets, and ambitions. Drakmor, a fire-wielding warrior, longs to escape the weight of his dynasty's bloody legacy. Lilith, a shadow-born sorceress, hides her true ambition to wield the Heart's power for herself. Vesaria, a cold and calculating tactician, sees the Heart as the key to saving her decaying mechanical empire. Seren, a fae mystic, hopes to use its magic to restore harmony to the realms. But deep within the Nexus Heart lies a greater danger-Kael Umbros, an ancient, void-born sovereign imprisoned for his ambition to dominate the realms. Awakened by the chaos, Kael seeks to reclaim the Heart and finish what he started centuries ago. As alliances shift and betrayals surface, the heirs must confront their own ambitions and the weight of their choices. The fight for the Heart becomes a fight for survival, and in the end, the greatest threat to the realms may not be Kael-or even the Heart-but the heirs themselves.

The War of Revelation For centuries, the Ashaitians have been feared, their gifts of prophecy and intelligence branded as an omen of the world's destruction. Isolated in the east, they have waited, knowing that Elyssia-the dominant empire of the west-would one day come to erase them. That day has arrived. Queen Zareth, raised to believe in Elyssia's divine mission, leads the war against Ashait. But when she meets Kairo, an enigmatic prophet who has foreseen the world's end, everything she believes begins to unravel. He offers her a choice: destroy Ashait and fulfill the prophecy-or defy fate and forge a new future. Kairo, weary yet determined, urges Zareth to abandon the path of blind warfare and take control of the prophecy's narrative before others twist it for their own gain. Queen Zareth, skeptical and wary of betraying her kingdom, challenges Kairo's vision, knowing that any alliance with him could mean losing the trust of her people. As their conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that the real battle is not just between their nations, but against those who seek to manipulate fate itself. In the end, Zareth makes her choice-she extends her hand, not in surrender, but in a pact of defiance. Together, they will uncover the truth behind the prophecy, knowing that their decision will shape the fate of their world. It is not peace they choose, nor war-it is the unknown path in between, where deception, power, and destiny collide.

The world is broken, scarred by frost and fire. A creature of molten ice: The Embercold-threatens to consume everything in its path. Amid the chaos, one, stands between destruction and those he loves. Nameless is no hero. He is a survivor, carrying wounds both physical and emotional, haunted by memories of friends lost and sacrifices made.

From frozen battlefields to shattered memories, The Nameless Journey explores the cost of survival, the weight of loyalty, and the fire that burns even when hope seems lost.

Dark, brutal, and unflinchingly emotional, this saga is a story of pain, resilience, and the chains that bind us to one another-and to our memories.

Through the endless eternal eons of time, all true things throughout history become forgotten, twisted, lost, or they are used to fulfill the desires of wandering souls seeking their place, their purpose, their elusive meaning. Avara was a world no different. Created by the Arkons, it was a beautiful world, thriving with life that was ever evolving, in body, in mind, and in that which lay most hidden, that which is covertly concealed, that which is the true magic of creation. It is always seeking, searching, struggling to find life's sweet secrets. Enraged elementals ravaged the land. Factions that once fought ferociously were united, but fearful and fragile they remained. Those that had gained powerful magic derived from the dregs of the elementals, ruled through the guise, the mascaraed, the masked methods of deception. They controlled the flow of knowledge, the flow of food, the edicts, the laws, that lay leaden across the land. But through choice and chance, through song, through dance, the secrets voice may be heard at last...

Listen! What if... there was a secret so great, that it was locked away for thousands of years... hidden in a dangerous world, one which lurks on the doorstep of 7 billion people utterly oblivious to it? It necessitated to be left undisturbed, but somehow everything spun out of control and a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. What if I told you, something listened? Listened and started seeking over vast distances that which had awoken it. Thus events were set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. What I found because of all of this, was beyond my wildest imagination, and amongst it, that which terrifies me now. I'm writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful... Yes, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.
