Three ereaders with book covers for Tales of a Sunless Land: Under Ghostfire Mountain by J.A. Skald, below a snippet of light text on a dark background & the word 'nice' highlighted:

"My retinue won't be happy about being woken so early on their first morning back, but I'm sure we can be ready in three bells. Maybe two, if we plan to don armor onsite instead of before we head out." Käre grimaced, not relishing having to drag a hungover Dursk out of his wife's nice warm bed and into the snow. "How about yours?"
But Martel just shook his head. "Let them sleep. Tower-trained humans would be little use where we will go, and two travel much faster. Layer up thick and warm, but flexible. No plate — it will slow you down in the mountains. A quarter bell, then we leave."
Käre glared at him. "Who died and made you cadre commander?"
The Relict merely raised his eyebrow, those strange silver eyes of theirs flashing in the light.
"I traveled in with traders. If we hurry, maybe we still catch them, hey?" Martel said instead, his tone friendly but still as implacable as misteel. "With luck, they will have us there by lunch and back in time for dinner."
It was a sound plan, actually. One Käre couldn't find any fault with.
Which, of course, just made his mood even fouler.

Three ereaders with book covers for Tales of a Sunless Land: The Witching Woods by J.A. Skald, below a snippet of light text on a dark background & the word 'steel' highlighted:

Up close, the Yaga’s breath was rank with the stench of old tobacco and raw onion. It mixed poorly with the too-sweet cloud of floral perfume hanging about her, the warm spice of gingerbread, and a dozen other scents besides.
Ryn jumped as one clawed hand grabbed his arm surprisingly tight; her skin like old leaves as she gripped him hard enough to bruise.

“Increased when given away for free,
Leaves no trace the eye can see.
Hurts when lost or ne'er found,
Hard to say, yet sweet the sound.

Light as a breath, strong as misteel,
Joyous to hold, oft painful to feel.
A word, a gift, a glance, a touch —
Whatever else could mean so much?”

She released him, sitting back wearing a wide grin as she waited for an answer to her riddle.
A raven cawed from somewhere deep in the orchard. Or a crow maybe; Ryn had never been good at telling the two apart. He eyed the trees, the ripened fruit bowing their branches.
Ryn frowned, something tickling at the back of his mind. A feeling, an image, a memory…

This is an extra tough prompt, so let's brush the cobwebs off a manuscript I just wrapped up and see it there's still a lil juice left…

Three ereaders with book covers for Songs of a Sunless Land 2: The Shattered Isles by J.A. Skald, below a snippet of light text on a dark background & the word 'web' highlighted:

"Stay with me, stay on the path. Don’t go waltzing off by yourself, not even to leave to pick a flower or take a piss," Askogen warned, his tone turning serious. "The faewastes are in constant flux. Like a fast-flowing river; the terrain just as volatile, just as ever-changing. Stray too far and — bargain or no — I simply won’t be able to keep you safe from getting snared in its current. Or eaten by what things might lurk just below its surface."
"Dangerous, got it," Sebastian said almost absently as the scent of freshly baked bread and meaty stew being prepared for the dinner crowd caught his attention.
"More than merely dangerous. Hungry," the fae explained as he inspected mournfully the desolate contents of the tankards around him. "As if a spider and its web were both one, and you yourself the fly with no choice but to cross it. You must trust nothing there, not even your own senses."
Sebastian just looked at him skeptically. "But I should trust you?"
"Now when did I ever say that, my dear Relict?" Askogen replied, flashing him a grin so toothy it couldn't be described as anything other than feral.

@televassi.bsky.social

Skalds often argue about who has the most talented tongue.

But how they settle it is more entertaining than you might think...

🎨 @clamcrusher.bsky.social

Art by Clamcrusher if Televassi having a bit of fun with the muzzle of another skald. Looks like that knot will eventually pop in.

Televassi, Drinker of Mead, Teller of Tales.

@televassi.bsky.social

And here's the alternative flavour of skalds settling matters on who's getting the most talented tongue.

Looks like they're getting pretty into it.
