Consequences of a Life

These are the stories of William Tasker Tarmon, and the extraordinary adventures he had on his quest for knowledge.  Most of all, these are the stories of the lives he touched, and the people he loved.

Nothing Special

Prologue The ruckus of the seaside bar filtered dimly through the spell surrounding the small corner table. The curses, shouts, squeals, and pelts of laughter were uninterrupted by the conversation of the two aging pirates who sat facing the room. … [Read more]

Des’Tras#85
