— From the War Mode Office. This week, one story whispers from the sea. The other broods behind locked doors. Both echo with an ominous silence that refuses to be ignored.
Two stories rise together this week—each heavy with shadows of what’s unsaid.
On the coast of Indamar, the festival atmosphere masks a deeper dread as The Lady Grace prepares to sail again, carrying her ghostly curse into the night.
Within the Citadel, Dareya finds herself silenced and confined in Ashborn, Chapter 8. The Riders are grounded, their every move watched, and the bond she hides with Veyrakh grows ever more dangerous.
Some chains are forged in stone. Others rise from mist.
🔮🪶📜 The Chronicler’s Log:
The Lady Grace Part 2 will drop on Tuesday Morning, September 9 at 7 am EST to The Chronicler’s Log.
The coastline becomes a festival ground as nobles and travelers feast, drink, and wager on the ghost ship’s return. Beneath the laughter and music, the mist deepens—thick, hungry, and waiting.
Some have come for spectacle. Others may find themselves part of the story.
The seventh chapter of Ashborn will unlock for all readers Thursday Morning, September 11 at 7 am EST in The Shadow Lineage.
The eighth chapter of Ashborn will drop on Thursday Morning, September 11 at 7 am EST in The Shadow Lineage for paid subscribers only.
Confinement has fallen over the Riders. Locked doors, silent corridors, and guards at every turn. Dareya may have parchment and pen, but her bond with Veyrakh cannot survive scrutiny if discovered.
Longing gnaws at her resolve, but secrets this dangerous can’t stay hidden forever.
Stay sharp. Stay strange. Be Wise. —The War Mode Office
