Following my trend of adoring everything I take an interest in with a blinding passion - here’s my second commissioned piece of Fatebinder Rael! The lovely Nina Modaffari was behind this one, and it’s fantastic.Joy to work with, and look at those lines. What a handsome man.



I still have a bit of prose in the works regarding Corvus, ‘in the works’ rather means it’ll be finished when I stop hating everything I write.



Here’s a teaser:



I watched as the detachment of Disfavored soldiers smashed headlong into the barred door, a tide of glinting metal and stoic faces; a solid wall of shields, spears and bloodied iron plate. They exemplified the values that, at least in this Fatebinder’s humble opinion, Ashe’s Elite clung to: bashing into an immovable object (a wooden door) over and over again with all the progress that entailed.



Very few of the Disfavored seemed affected by the howling storms of dust and stone that rocked the valley every hour – though my own robes were stained and torn in a number of places. I sighed; there was something to be said for a legion of warriors that could look impeccable no matter the weather and even more to be said for those that didn’t have to pay a Court-aligned tailor the rings required to mend enchanted cloth.



I was sat on a rock, overlooking the soldiers at their work while two Oath Bound, impassive as the rest of their ordered brethren, flanked me on either side. They did not make the most interesting of travelling companions for a Fatebinder, but they did make for fine guardians.
