From the young adult’s novel The Mysteries of Arklan (2019-2021), by Matt Hale & Paul Yeoh The water taxi glided swiftly down the Queen’s River, its pilot guiding it deftly around watercraft and other obstacles that presented themselves in the densely built-up urban environment of Dranseri.

Letter to Caedmon, 25th Sehanine
25th Sehanine [mailed from Dranseri on 7thAuril] My Beloved Friend, Greetings from Nari Lana! I write from the secluded Village of the Genasi on the coast of the Dagger Sea. We’re now just two days from Dranseri, where at the first opportunity I will send this letter to your lodgings in Emorhin. My heart is …
Letter in a Bottle: a Tribute to Wynlynn
13th of Sehanine Dearest Wynlynn, I don’t know when you will read this letter, but I’ve used druidcraft to enchant the bottle holding it. As I’ve drawn strength from the rivers of Arklan when far from the ocean, so may this sparkling stream carry my thoughts and affection to you in good time. You shall …
D&D Dialogs 1: Scenes from the Infirmary & inside the Temple of Joy

Ferryman’s Log, Entry #3 (10th of Sehanine)

Wynlynn’s Reflections 7
(Written in collaboration with Teal) On the second night of our journey downriver, I find myself on watch with Teal. Out of all of our companions, Teal is the one I am most comfortable with. He is always easy to talk to and is indeed a kind soul. After the others seem to be asleep …
Wynlynn’s Reflections 6
As I step back onto solid ground, I am relieved to be out of that dangerous strange place. Val is looking worse for wear but is safe for the moment and I can relax, at least about that. We are back in the room where we had made the access stone. While we had certainly …
Letter to Caedmon, 5th Day of Sehanine
Dearest Caedmon, I scarcely know where to begin—it has been the strangest of our expeditions so far, a trial not only to the body, but to the mind itself. Our very sense of the nature of reality is shaken, and you know that I do not speak lightly, having witnessed some fantastical phenomena at the …
