A Summary of my Journey in Orcish Lands - Part 12

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 12 – The Tower of Fire, Journey's End I'd like to take the opportunity to put out a professional tip for my readers. If you ever want an answer from the gods – and I mean an actual direct answer. All you have to do is befriend someone powerful and then get them to help you try to break into somewhere really sacred – and I mean really sacred, not one of these dull shrines that we mortals have stuck a name on and decided is sacred. I stood on a high ridge looking out over

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 11 – The Boiling Mountains and the Ormr of Riyuthaan. The Boiling Mountains are unlike the mountain ranges on any other continent, they are what's called Volcanoes – they are topped by giant craters and spew out rivers of molten rock or explode every so often producing giant racing flows of ash and rock that speed out over the savannah bringing the fertility that the Oroc use to farm. For them this is their sacred land. There are volcanoes dotted around all over Riyuthaan, but

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 10: The Shamans, on Moud Swamp and Oroci Politics The next morning involved a lot of standing around waiting for the Shamans to arrive, all the while the family exclaiming their surprise that they hadn't hurried over sooner. The Shamans arrived shortly after mid day and were initially surprised to see me until Olod told them about the message, at which point they made up a story about the wheel falling off of their wagon, which had delayed them. I thought I was getting away from the

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 9 - Lukka Savannah and the Oroc Clan While not as verdant as the rainforest, the tall yellow grass, thin green trees and roaming packs of animals would have made the Savannah a perfect environment for either the Ulic or the Kuruc to thrive in. There were sometimes steaks piled with the dead here as well, but these were clearly Lycanthropic remains, so it seemed that the Knights were at least keeping up their end of the bargain this time. I was curious to find out how they managed to recon

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 8 – Of our past dealings with the Orcs, our knowledge of the Oroc clan and the actions of the late Erion Silverleaf I think it's important that I take a moment to make sure that my readership is properly informed on matters that are necessary to understand the situation. When Erion Silverleaf travelled the world he visited the warring races each in turn and sold knowledge for peace. These were big advances in fields like Metalworking and Spellcraft – anything less and the race

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 7 – Zanmurid Temple, the Guild of Knights Around the circular stone temple there was a clearing in the forest of the dead. Two Knight Sentinels with wickedly spiked plate-armour, billowing tabards and expanded jaw-pieces stood like statues in front of the massive wooden gates with their Claymores in the ground in front of them. I walked over and demanded an audience with the person in charge, they laughed and one of them told me that they'd never let Demon-Spawn defile such a holy p

To find that person, I knew I would have to travel to Zanmurid Temple, a sacred site to the Order that stood on the boundary between the Highlands and the Savannah. This was undoubtedly where operations were

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 5 – The good work of the Afflicted I spent the next day and a half learning some more specifics about Kuruc society from my friend – who had butchered his giraffe and cooked the meat so it would keep better (though he was unaware that this was why he'd done it). Then the Lycanthrope attack came. I must confess to feeling a tinge of fear during the engagement, I knew that the feral were-beasts no matter how Orcish were no match for me, but I also knew that I wasn't Guild-Traine

On the Orc Continent of Riyuthaan and it's residents -A Work by Terio - 1st Generation – Grand Author/Record Keeper of the Gatheri Chapter 4 – The Shira Desert and the Kuruc Clan I wandered the desert alone for eight days, living off of Kalo's berries before I encountered a lone Kuruc Orc dressed in poorly cut furs and slabs of exoskeleton dragging a giraffe corpse behind him. When he saw me he stopped pulling the body around and leant against it waiting for me to approach. Wishing to demonstrate my good will, I took some of Kalo's berries and approached with them in and outstretched hand. He laughed at this, sai

This particular expedition was a whole-tribe thing, they needed the numbers to fight the giant insects and various Fey creatures that lurked down there, and the men were needed to carry building supplies while the women focused as a

Project Seten Illustrated Audio Book - Update

0 min read

I'm trying to release the prologue for my Illustrated Audio Book before Christmas and as such am in desperate need of artists who can complete any of the unassigned images listed here before the end of November. A complete description of the project, as well as a pack of Concept Work and the full script for the Prologue episode can be found on that page. You can see the first scene of the project here I'm after artists with a variety of styles, but please make sure the characters are realistically proportioned. I prefer to pay with PayPal, let me know what your prices are.
