I am so excited and thankful to be working with @tensei.bardrockcafe.com for this upcoming AP. Tech is not one of my strong suits but having Tensei by our side has made the whole process easier and I wont be able to pull off this AP without his help!

I absolutely love when creator use their culture and past experiences to create new worlds for players to get lost. Eli's work hits this idea excellently with MAIZE BORG as he combines ancient Mesoamerica history with the unforgettable combat of MÖRK BORG to make something truly special. (3/4)

Will my would-be-God get another shot at glory or will she find a new purpose? Can't wait to figure that one out alongside you

Taíno Tales @tainotales.bsky.social · 1d

The term fallen from grace would be an understatement for this once great warrior of old. Exiled into these realms of chaos for defying the emperor, but worry not, as The Exalted never waste a good sword.

Introducing Caedra👼, who the phenomenal Syriinx (@syriinx.bsky.social) will be playing!

A faded red-painted background depicts a ruined brick wall. On the left side of the wall lie the spray-painted colors of teal and blood red, in the shape of a pair of wings with hands reaching towards a lone star.

On top of this graffiti lies the Image of a muscular built warrior wearing a variety of reds, yellows, and greens, with the most distinct part of her clothes being her dirty steel armor. The warrior's lightly tanned and freckled complexion matches their strange eyes, which are their own colors. Above her head lies a set of glowing text that reads:

Caedra

On the right of the wall is a dirty bronze bulletin board with a ring of red swirling energy with a set of text that reads:

"The First Hellrasier"
Caedra (she/any) was once the Empire's greatest triumph, created through trial and error. A god in the making until an act of mercy unmade her. Cast out she now endures as both traitor and legend.

Finally, on the bottom right lies an antique picture of the performer with a card that reads:

Syriinx (@syriinx)

Midnight’s allergies are in HELL MODE, but I’m wiped clean post-bills and an invoice is stuck between PayPal and the bank.

This would cover her steroid shot and general check up. Anything helps 🖤

We have had a WILD time with tech, but we are finally LIVE with our Book Three premiere!

Come and join us in chat!

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 1d

WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR PREMIERE!

The armies of the Dark Tree are on the move. Middle-earth will fall. And all that stands between the Reunited Kingdom and its ruin is a fellowship of six. But in the face of such shadow, is hope enough...?

WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

See you in chat!

Aerlind, a tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. He stands against a wide and warm coastline.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter One: What May Be Preserved.”
