5.8 The Deepest Depths

Location: Akka MountainsTimeline: Sixth Age, 53rd Year, Spring Whilst I was busy working in The Life Labs back at The Caulrdon, Kaoz entered The Deepest Depths which led down to the heart of the Akka Mountains.

5.3 The Plague Doctor

Location: FubarTimeline: Sixth Age, 53rd Year, Spring The King Den felt like home to The Royal Steward as Ramssee sat ensconced in his favorite wingback chair taking in the smells of the chamber - old leather, woodsmoke, and the cloyingly sweet vapor of expensive liquors.

4.11 The Great Parkway

Location: The Road to Skarra-BreeTimeline: Summer to Fall Are you starting to dislike poor Emcorae? As I write this Apocrypha I hope that's the case.
