A Wondrous Sneak Peak!
🕑 Added 2024-06-18 19:00:04 +0000 UTCWe are excited to give a sneak peak of our upcoming book: Rhamble and Rhoam's Realms of Wonder!
When the hounds of Helwyr are a-baying
And the Lord of the Realm comes a-slaying,
Let all creatures set straight to a-praying
When they hear the Wild Hunt arise.
Though the manticore’s tail be a-bristling
And the wind of the wyverns a-whistling.
Though the dragon’s breath set them a-sizzling,
Still the zeal of the Hunt never dies.
Their arrows and spears rain down furious.
The clash of their battle is glorious.
Anhefydd’s sword rises victorious,
As the Lord once again claims his prize.
Those who seek the thrill of the hunt know there is one domain like no other. While the quarries of the mundane planes are not without their merit and glory, the most ambitious hunters will find all tracks lead to the realm of Helwyr..
The realm’s expansive forest teems with deadly monsters from across the planes that Lord Gwyn has collected. All who arrive in the forests of Helwyr are invited to take part in the hunts; whether they come by the labyrinthine paths of Acadian or by simply getting swept up in Lord Gwyn’s Wild Hunt in another plane.
Gwynn Anhefydd, Archfey and Lord of the Hunt, is both host and ruler of the Realm. The peerless hunter loves nothing more than a good trail tale, and will gauge the mettle of recent visitors, determining for them an appropriate quarry to provide a thrilling and satisfying hunt. Do not mistake his hospitality for weakness, however, lest you find yourself the hunted rather than the hunter.
If Lord Gwyn finds the Lykos Phantasma a suitable match, hunters will find themselves deep within the Heartseeker Canyon. Many an unwary hunter has fallen victim to overconfidence when facing a small pack of these strange, otherworldly hounds, as the Lykos Phantasma conjures spectral duplicates of itself to aid it in battle.
More experienced hunters may be directed to Thunderpeak Mountain, a lone monument of stone and storm peeking over the forest’s canopy. Hunters that manage to reach the summit through the fierce wind and rain will find themselves face to face with the Manticore Tempestus, fabled beast of the sky and wielder of nature’s might.
Then let the successful hunters join Lord Gwyn’s feast and regale the assembled diners with the tales of their achievement! The hunt begins again on the morrow.
