The Queen is dead. The throne is empty. And the griffins are restless. The bells of the capital toll for Queen Davina Thorne. As her body lies in state within the Great Cathedral, the realm holds its breath—but the silence does not last. Three unlikely figures are brought together: Sevastyan, a counselor from Kha'Tor; Isac, a guardian from Tsukine; and Reina, a mask carrier from the Rokashi Isles.

This is a feed drop, shared here to help cross-promote my work and introduce you to another story I think you’ll enjoy. 😊

In the shining metropolis of Hyperion City, two Golds enforce the order that built their world—until cracks begin to show beneath the polish.

Iron Rising is about two siblings sworn to protect order and one secret that could destroy it. It's a co-op story told in full collaboration between two players. It’s cinematic, character focused, and driven entirely by the choices we make at the table.
