"Ahlia, Battle Prophet of Agnidyne; Sister of the Ruby Chapel. A fighter like none other, with equal parts zeal and compassion.
Wielding the Judge's Courtier, she knelt before the gods of her city with unmatched piety; until the day of her refulgent death before the foes of her Deva." #ArsVagrant
"The waylaid of this faulted landscape were not that of the realm of Fennelor. Nor had rumours of a Vagrant Sun even crept into the minds of creation.

Ars Vagrant was never meant to be a real project. More an opportunity to write some deep and meaningful lore about the realm of Fennelor. The internet really is a place to just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.
What comes next? Who can say... #ArsVagrant #TTRPG

"The Masques of Hendealia- fragments of the destructive power once held by the progenitor of Hallowmist. Within each hold a fragment of the powers of creation and destruction both.
