Tales of Yavon | Empire | Ep. 12 | New Allies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fresh off the revelations of the Empress's court, the party splits up to handle personal errands, old debts, and unfinished business before setting out for Brin's homeland, the Drowned Reed Shires, on a direct order from Zoa herself. As allies are gathered, favors are called in, and old wounds are laid bare in quiet conversation, the calm doesn't last — eyes are watching from somewhere unseen, and a voice from the shadows leaves them with a message they can't ignore. Swoop, the bold Aarakocra so
Tales of Yavon | Empire | Ep. 11 | Crew of the Crab's Bane (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With their business elsewhere concluded, the crew turns their attention to the ship beneath their feet — an empty, weathered vessel with more potential than any of them first realized. Between stitching a flag, settling on a name, and digging through every hidden corner for secrets the ship might be hiding, old questions resurface about one of their own, and a few new rumors drift in from the crew's contacts on land.

After a strange brush with time itself, the crew boards an unfamiliar ship to reclaim one of their own — only to find themselves face to face with its captain, the impossibly composed and immaculately dressed Captain Lu. Charming, unbothered, and clearly used to getting his way, he has questions of his own, and a keen interest in something the crew never meant to bring aboard. As pleasantries turn into a delicate exchange
Tales of Yavon | Empire | Ep. 10 | The Green Hag Gambit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What begins as an investigation… reveals a monster hiding in plain sight. Following the trail of the Shattered Blade, the party arrives at the estate of Lord Valus, where long-held suspicions finally come to a head. But beneath the noble façade lurks something far more sinister. As disguises fall away and violence erupts, the heroes find themselves trapped in a deadly battle against an enemy who has been pulling strings from the shadows.
