The Man Stays to Work While the Woman Goes to Fight. They’ll Both Do Great Things
She’ll Make a Name for Herself
Here is the lead heroine of my story, Jagged Coast. Gifted even by the standards of her people, she is in training to be a battlefield commander and leader of fighting regiments. She is strong and skilled, but feels her role is the protection of life, and the right of people to live a peaceful…
Please, Not Like This
The long table at Klingger’s held a morose, grim bunch. Fawnlum and company sat, fresh off another battle, but silent and brooding. “I’ve been watching you lick your wounds the last few days,” Klingger said, as he passed by. “They used goblins for their fodder. Didn’t you simply kill more?” “They still have their army,”…
Come and Get Me
After nearly a ten-day of rest at Klingger’s, the dwarves arrived, thanks to the speed of Fawnlum’s messenger, with fire in their eyes. “If you stick with me,” Fawnlum told them, “the tri-cleorps will come to you, since we killed their holy figure.” Gritcomb slapped the top of his head. “Hoots, mon,” he exclaimed, a…
Eyes in the Darkness
“You can make it from here,” Bik’nar told Fawnlum. With the uzruuls’ own night vision, knowledge of the forest, and concealment enchantment, they had guided the Coastals back toward East Osterly. Fawnlum took stock of her comrades. After brief snippets of rest – not even using their nests – and less food, they were in…

The Quick and the Dead
“They’re here to get us,” Caitlyn said from across the fire. “I know,” Sienna told her. “But Fawnlum won’t let up her campaign, just because of the odds.” “Which is good,” Caitlyn agreed. “But why was she so quick to trust the uzruul? I know it’s better to judge one by their actions. But still. …
We Find Comrades in Strange Places
It was risky, given how dark the murky daylight had become, but Fawnlum kept her party outside the nests, and around a small fire for a little longer. Even though the haunting dread did not gnaw at them inside the compartments, she still wanted them to stretch their legs. “So,” Sienna said, from the other…
The Darkness is Still Their Domain
In the northern part of Windsaeve, close to the border with the farmlands, the Coastals sat in one of their first nests. “Well, they followed us here, too,” Dreighton said, as they waited, letting the mob move past. “We’ll just choose our moment,” Fawnlum said. “I don’t think they’re going to get chased off by…
