Sometimes strangers yell at me, tell me to leave this lady alone, I am a bad dog! I’m all big and hairy and... yes, a little slobbery, but I can’t help that, I get hot, my tongue goes flop. But the likes of me should never approach the tidy, elegant sort of witch such as … Continue reading Joke’s On You
Spirits have adapted to human life, too. Just because a tree grows in an urban garden does not mean it has any less of its wild energy and life than a tree in an untouched woodland. Rivers, trees and stone may still rise into their mysterious forms, and those forms may change as the town … Continue reading Lost In The City
Drakes have also adapted neatly to city life. The idea may seem intriguing, at first, but these bold drakes have resulted in many a damaged roof and many a startled infant. Carthorses may bolt, dogs may run in fear, and no food could be stored in flimsy sheds or outhouses. Still, there are advantages, too. … Continue reading A Matter Of Perspective
Some parts of nature did not mix well with growing urbanisation, but some thrived. Goblins have adapted so smoothly to city life that they’ve evolved several subspecies, notably the Sewer Goblin. These scuttling little blighters live mostly on waste and trash, doing the cities a great favour, one imagines, but their mischief and late-night cackling … Continue reading Adaptable

Nobody believes us. We said there’s a serpent here, hiding in the lake, but as none of the adults have seen it, of course we must be daydreaming. But see, it’s here now, just bold enough to peek above the still surface. It’s a type from far away, so we’re not sure how it got … Continue reading Serpent Secret
Do you see things moving out the corner of your eye? Do you hear movements, the clink of cutlery, the rustle of fabrics? Do small morsels of food disappear, or do trails of crumbs lead into safe corners? If so, you might have Shywyrms. These tiny dragons live in small groups and tend to forage … Continue reading Shywyrms
Do I really need to tell you? If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Why in the world would there be a beautifully decorated cupcake in the woods? It’s a faerie cake, as you well know. Some of the more... unsavoury fae folk try to lure people into their traps by … Continue reading Faerie Cakes
I can’t help it. No matter how hard I try things around me just... get in the way. I’ve gotten my horn stuck in a fence, in tree bark, in hay bales, in a cauldron, in one dwarf’s especially dense beard, in ice, in a drystone wall... and I’ve popped many a balloon or punctured … Continue reading Prickly Situation
Just like people, some dragons can be very shy. Jet here is rather bashful around new people, keeping his eyes to himself far above the heads of his company. His mage does all the talking, although very few people can understand the growling language of dragons anyway. All mages can understand their familiar’s voice, to … Continue reading Speechcraft
