In a small camp not far from Stormwind, Jaehana sat with a needle and thread gingerly sewing bright blue pinion feathers onto her pauldron. The feathers were few and precious, difficult to come by, but somehow Gethran had managed. With delicate claws, she poked the needle through the hollow calamus...

My roving feet have traversed many a dusty road to bring me to Ul’dah, Jewel of the Desert, and capital of the province of Thanalan. I confess that I was ill-prepared for the heightened climes of the desert; it vaguely reminds me of the caverns of Mourn in the Dravanian...
Herein are penned the memoirs of one Hyzenthlay Crystari. If you are a gracious soul that has found this work, then I would implore you to return it to the realm of the First and entrust it to Moren for its addition to the Cabinet of Curiosities shelves. If you...
Dear Mama & Papa: It’s been a while since last I wrote, of course, I visit you more frequently these days so I suppose there is less need, but still. It is as much a beloved pass-time as it is a habit for me on occasion, but also a comfort...

Dear Book: Went on my first mission for the Vanguard Company. It… wasn’t exactly what I expected from a mercenary company. We were helping Iris Yuzuka move out of her apartment… or rescuing stuff from it. It’s hard to say. She’d been evicted by her landlords on zero notice along...
Dear Book: It’s been a few sennights since I wrote last, so let’s catch you up. Been spending a lot of time with the Vanguard Company thanks to Valeria Camena dragging me out there to get me acquainted with folks. They seem like a decent bunch. I especially like Rhaya...
Dear Book, Spending time with T’Shira Rhuill has been a welcome break from my new adventuring life. She serves as a reminder of exactly what it is I’m doing all this adventuring for. People like her who are just trying to live their lives in this chaotic world that we...
We made it back to the lizardfolk village to find an elven lady there named Kama. As it turns out she’s a Witherbloom pledge-mage, which is a 4th year or post-graduate student. Not exactly the cavalry I’d hoped for, but I suppose it’s better than nothing! She convinced us to...
