A Story from the Tales of AeyerthExcerpt from Andrew Hawke: If you are reading this you're probably not from around here. Also, if you aren’t from around here well, welcome to the planet mate! We live on a world called Aeyerth, course there’s many ways people around here spell it. Many people can’t even read or write for that matter. The year is 2615 A.H. and the A.H. coincidentally stands for “After Human” times. Basically 2,615 years ago humans dramatically appeared out of nowhere in a deep crater called “THE WOMB OF LIFE” smack dab in the middle of what we now call Al’Akbar. I know you may want to hear all about the history of our planet and why it is that humans came into spontaneous existence, but the plain fact is that nobody really knows and it’s a mystery. Al’Akbar is a place unlike others in that it is controlled by the same invasive species that showed up unexpectedly a few thousand years ago. Of that species a select group overpowered the other factions and drove those humans out of the country into the outlying countries of CULHAIN, KIEM ZIMBALA and DRAK ZENNETH. The other unfortunate races of Elves, Dwarves, Reptilians, Halflings and many others living in Al’Akbar were enslaved during the process. Al’Akbar is an unfriendly place to anyone including Al’Akbarians. The focus of our story begins in yet another country all together and one that wasn’t mentioned THE DARK DEEP. Read on traveler!

In our last episode we discovered Kal’s unusual power and his lack confidence as he struggles to become more proficient with his gift. On a side note Kal is assaulted by a strange bald man in a dream. Chamberlain decides to take Kal on a quest. They are attacked on the road from a band of human eating harpies. Chamberlain almost dies and gets healed by a Troll in the village of Kintilly Knob. As a result, Chamberlain becomes cursed and has a homunculus child with the witch. The original unknown quest gets deleted and they are forced to take on a new quest for the witch to purge the curse. Two adventurers from the village join them and they meet a charming alchemist (The wife of Merle) who provides them with some herbal reagents and much needed healing potions. They get assaulted by a blood sucking lamprey which almost kills their companion Merle. Lastly they are threatened with an eternal curse by a group naked goblins. We return to the tower as the saga continues. Enter the Gateway Chamber.

Excerpt from Andrew Hawke:Good day mates! I’m Andrew Hawke adventurer extraordinaire. Welcome back to Aeyerth a parallel dimension of your planet Earth. I’m so glad you returned to listen to another story.In the Great Northern Country in the Province of Culhain there sits a small valley of spring fed rivers and creeks. We call it the Valley of Gleen. It’s not far from the Capitol city and sits on the northern side of the forest.The valley is the home of the Wood Paw Ogre tribe who has owned the valley since before the time of Humans.Don’t worry mates. These ogres are kind to their neighbors and civilized much like humans. So, we won’t have to worry about them picking their teeth with our bones.Three young Ogres in this valley are about to experience the opportunity of a lifetime. I can’t say much more friends. Don’t want to ruin the story or should I say rune the story. Have a great read, and I’ll see you on the other side!
