Master’s Log 2100 – 9 – Eulogy for Talj Junction, the Living Universe
The situation changed quickly. I went to the Shifting Planes where I had sent our forces from Talj and we were all worried about what would happen next. I was stunned thinking that Zacchaeus had been lost to the Pito and I never imagined that he, or Maria for that matter, would face a danger…

Smiting Champs -The Expedition to the Talj Junction – 3 – Wielders of the Gold 3
The Halfyn Heir is very familiar with a form of hand magic that is eerily similar to the hand magic that became the standard in the Fonlands for users of the technique; there is no grimoire in the Fonlands for hand magic and the formations were largely discovered through intuition and intention. Over time, the…

Master’s Log 2100 – 8 – Quick Change
Hectic, that’s the only word to explain the chaos in the Meta Chamber after Jo and Agbe told me about the situation with Talj the Living. Apparently, the situation had been settled and Talj was no longer threatening to rip itself apart, though the Vodun Agê remained with Talj outside of everything to continue the…

Smiting Champs – The Expedition to the Talj Junction – 2 – Wielders of the Gold 2
“How long are we supposed to do this?” Ali asks with one hand up in Direction formation to focus his black energy at the Pito. He is statuesque in the void of space, his strong body exposed to the elements in the tattered gi he wears that is sleeveless and the legs of the pants…

Master’s Log 2100 – 7 – Spectating
Goldie and I watched the being known as Tenebris through a scrying spell I cast on the Smiting Card that Goldie had made and we’d been obsessing over. We thought about playing Smiting to pass the time, but it was hard to ignore what was happening in Talj and we decided to watch our new…

acɛ (2025 Annual) – Issue 1 –
Talj is suffering and there is nothing there to hear it. Deep inside of it, there are sentient beings who cry out at the rot, the parasitic fungus that spreads on a cosmic scale, but that stops at Talj who is queasy for the first time and the sensation is disorienting. Talj may begin to…

The Descendant (2025 Annual) – Issue 2 –
“You are dying and wasting time,” Neubril said. She was sitting and the other Descendant stood behind her in neat rows. They could all be the exact same copy of Neubril, they all look identical even if they are not, the stark white of their fur makes it hard to distinguish between them. Neubril is…

In the universe that the Smiting Chamber has designated 1121, there was once a man called Leeland. He’d been born to a single mother who died in childbirth, and if he had a father or any siblings, Leeland would never know. He grew up with his adult cousin, Steph, his last known living relative, who…

Master’s Log 2100 – 6 – Into Talj
I was getting restless in the Smiting Chamber. The work of assembling forces went smoothly, and they began to enter the universe known as the Talj Junction. Having Yana up in the Meta Chamber was helpful, it seemed she was able to use it like a tow boat for the Smiting Chamber, easily guiding me…
