A wasp lands on his hand, its abdomen twitching, and he simply watches it without fear of being stung. For this swarm has no queen, but a king.

She sometimes thinks back to Amorgand—its milky waters, the lotus flowers budding across their surface when molting season comes… She used to wake to the sound of sails snapping above her skiff. They no longer served any purpose, of course.

Even now, when she hears sirens tear through the night, she bolts upright, ready to throw on her clothes in a rush—before remembering she no longer has to.

After the Confluence, nature and its laws seemed to have been so deeply altered as to become unrecognizable. In a world overturned from top to bottom, humankind searched for answers, for meaning, for a new framework through which to understand reality.

For Kauri, Eru is a mentor, a confidant. For his parents, he is the guardian spirit of harmony between humans and animals—one of the Oneiroi prayed to by shepherds and herders.

Aside from Halua, the armada has encountered other Leviathans within the Sea of Clouds. While most do not appear to display aggression toward our squadrons, others can prove more problematic if safety protocols are not followed to the letter.

Following the Althing and the summoning of the Bravos Fyrds, our researchers have compiled, for the hunter assemblies, all available data concerning the Leviathan known as “Halua.”

Who ever said there was nothing in the sky but cotton-candy shapes and hailstones the size of candy drops? At first, I thought this was going to be a dull cruise, where I’d spend my time pacing circles in my cabin or on deck. But in truth, the Sea of Clouds is like an ocean.

The Turmoil. That’s what they call this endless sea of clouds. We’ve been flying over it for nearly two weeks now, enduring its perilous whims.

Get up to speed with the Whispers from the Maze storyline and get ready to dive into the adventure of Skybound Odyssey!

The transport barge groans and creaks around them as it wrestles with the turbulence. In the dimness of the cabin—banished only by the faint glow of a few kelonic sconces bolted to the walls—they wait, strapped tight into their seats.

Virtue and dishonor. Those two words shape Zhen’s story, and they express the weight she has carried on her shoulders since childhood.

As I suspected, the confrontation with the Hunger was grueling for many of the Exalts, especially as it came directly on the heels of the already exhausting events of Caer Nilam.

Just watching what surrounds him, trying to make sense of its existence. Sitting there, in the middle of nowhere, or isolating himself in the crowd by closing his eyes, slowly letting meditation take over.

A will of iron? At the very least, a will of stone… That’s how far Isaree’s temperament goes. Once she has something rooted in her, nothing can make her change. From her convictions to her friendships, she doesn’t compromise on anything.

His feet press into the earth, and he lets his toes sink into the humus. Waving his shepherd’s staff, he guides his dogs with whistles, clicks of the tongue, or hoots to direct the flock.

It was strange, sometimes, what one might find on their doorstep. That morning, upon opening it, there was a freshly killed field mouse.

A strange affliction is spreading among our Alterers, and I must explain every detail to you, for my fears are growing regarding the scope of this, until now, unknown blight. As a Sister of the Cloister, it is my duty to try to understand its mechanisms, to contain it as much as possible, and above all, to inform you—so that action might be taken.

The announcement struck the Asterion like a thunderclap. Anuncia ruun-Aysun and Amaro Arundhani, both candidates in the basileal election, have formalized their union — in life and on the political stage.

This historian, with his long white beard and kindly face, devoted his life to preserving the remnants of human history.

The City of Scholars. It is in the annals of Baird y Idris, Shepherd of the Sunset Tribe, that we find the first and only references to this city, which once served as a stopover for some of the western Tumult Nomads as they made their way toward Asgartha.

After months of travel, the Expeditionary Corps have established their first forward outpost deep within the Tumult.

Sunn opens the newspaper, looking for some kind of distraction. Tomorrow, she’s leaving the field hospital—headed for the outpost.

The Rediscovery Endeavor has been underway for nearly eight months now — a fitting time to take stock of its progress.

The storm was still rumbling when Kuraokami took flight, emerging from the shattered trunk of the Nilam. The Tumult hurricane was raging then. But when he rose high into the sky, his roar alone was enough to scatter the clouds gathered over the Storhvit.

Born in 277 AC during the reign of Assura ruun-Caellach, Aroro Niski demonstrated exceptional Alteration abilities from a very young age, just like her older sister before her and her younger brother a few years later.

With trembling hands, Efrén unseals the envelope, speckled with dried mud and old water stains. He recognized the sender instantly, of course. At first glance.

Few can claim to have left as deep an imprint on Asgarthan society as Vaike Swiftwater. This engineer and pioneer is widely regarded as the catalyst behind the Industrial Revolution and the unification of Asgartha’s technical Guilds under the Axiom banner.

Although many had hoped to find a significant Kelon deposit at the heart of the Cais Adarra, the mountain ultimately holds no kelonic vein. Instead, it harbors a colossal tree, one whose proportions rival those of the Spindle.

Drawing on the theories of Moyo Chibuye, the Expeditionary Corps successfully traversed the Belasenka territory without incident. At great cost, they managed to establish a makeshift camp on the foothills of the Cais Adarra.

While exploring the winding tunnels of the Cerulean Hollow, an Yzmir mage happened upon a most intriguing cavity by pure chance. The secluded grotto, hidden from sight and far from the open air, was home to swarms of ethereal Moths.

A horn’s roar pierces the night. Tocsin. I would recognize him anywhere. I step out of the transport’s cabin, my senses on high alert. Fastening my belt around my hips, I check my sword.

Thanks to recent information, we have been able to reassess the situation we are facing within the Storhvit. Even though these findings should still be taken with caution, they may provide us with new insights into the repeated assaults of the Belisenki.

Those we call the "White Shadows" are now targeting our convoys. The first recorded attack came from a hunting party that had ventured into the tundra in search of game.

During the paranoid reign of Ayxas, the Mad Kuningas sought to crush any groups that could threaten his sovereignty.

The vanguard of the Expeditionary Corps has been deployed in the region named "Storhvit" by the first scouts of the exploration forces. While the Rediscovery Endeavor benefited from mild Tumult currents in Caer Oorun, the same cannot be said for areas beyond the borders of the rehabilitated Province.
