& 11/22/2002)
by Marc H. Wyman
Playwright Archer Melt is generally called the Divine among the
theater audiences of Gushémal -- with good reason, since he is a
favored of the goddess Grenage. Revered across the continent for his
works in the theater as well as novels, theoretical discussions and the
like, Archer is enjoying his fortunes.
Until he is faced by an event that even a divine playwright cannot
countenance and which leads him to review the century of his life --
counter-balanced by his own cynical views as well as the comments of his
servant, the quarter-elf Sirch.

"A Tale of the Gods"
(10/14/2001 et.al.)
by Marc H. Wyman & Chris Bogues
Exploring the myths and origins of the gods of Gushémal, these are
some of the legends about the deities of this world, who they are, how
they act, and how the races came to be.
First off, a newcomer arrives at the Eternal City of the gods - and
dissent follows in his wake...
This story is told in serial fashion, not straight, and relatively
open-ended. (That, by the way, is the reason why we won't offer a PDF
version of this tale anytime soon.)
Now concluded!
