Azurium, Bane of Machines
And of course, I enjoyed the YCH pose from that last work so much that I needed to get two slots for it. Once again, this too came from balalaevGod back in April of 2023. At the time, March of the Machines was the hot new...
Night of Revelation – Part 1(/3)
I'll always be grateful to LittleBadWolf for always being available for hire. That's a large reason why kept relying on them to illustrate the scenes that I've written for my world and characters. (The other is that their art style works well with my characters.) Night...
The Life of Oplentian Criminals
This was another chapter that I wrote in the writing storm of November 2022, covering what Volpes and Azurium were doing while Enigma and Edmund were infiltrating their compounds. It was a good chance to have them play off each other, since I didn't do...
The Spirit of Giving
The celebration of the Winter Solstice is once again in season all across the plane of Crossroads, but for the downtrodden of Oplentis's 13th district, it is a poor salve for their daily woes. While conditions in the district have been improving gradually ever since...
Bring Home the Bacon
As Azurium, like any former officer in the Oplentian army, would tell you how important it was for his men to go on regular hunts in order to control the monster population, keeping them away from the city limits. Almost every major city on the...
Azurium’s Dear Clara
The story that goes with this piece from Marsel-Defender back July of 2022 has an unfortunate story behind it. I had made the mistake of typing up the story directly in Submission Description box instead of a word or Google Doc on the day it...
The Forest King
As a soldier and a guardsman, Azurium had been given basic survival training. If the situation was dire, and he was left to fend for himself and his regiment far away in the less settled regions of Crossroads, he had every confidence that he and...
Azurium, the Kingpin’s First
Since Azurium was going to become such a key character in the story, it was only natural that I design a custom card for him, especially since the piece from LittleBadWolf illustrated him so beautifully. The challenge I laid upon myself was to design a card...
A Father’s Lost Pride
This piece from LittleBadWolf was actually one of their YCHs, but also served as the perfect piece to complement the chapter I was writing for The Case of the Titan Syndicate, which details how Captain Azurium turned traitor and joined Volpes. It's also the piece that...
The First Recruit
Another chapter in the saga of Volpes, illustrated by the wonderful Novra aka BeefMcCat back in October of 2021. What I am most happy about with this piece is how it illustrates the manipulative nature of Volpes, which also setting the stage for Edmund's father and...
