— From the War Mode Office. This week, some legends refuse to stay buried. When the sea brings back ghosts and the archives give up secrets, some truths can no longer be contained.
This week brings two stories of things that refuse to stay buried. In Part 1 of The Lady Grace, jealousy and loss echo across the sea as a ghost ship returns to haunt the living. And in Ashborn, Chapter 7, Dareya’s search in the forbidden archives unearths secrets the Empire worked hard to silence.
Some legends rise from the waves. Others smolder in the dark, waiting to ignite.
🔮🪶📜 The Chronicler’s Log:
The Lady Grace will drop on Tuesday Morning, September 2 at 7 am EST to The Chronicler’s Log.
The sea remembers. And tonight, it rises in the form of a ghostly galleon, cursed by jealousy and bound by storm. Karis Maillon’s final voyage is retold each year when The Lady Grace sails again through the mist.
Crowds gather at the cliffs for a glimpse of the impossible—but some stories don’t stay buried, and not every haunting ends in silence.
The sixth chapter of Ashborn will unlock for all readers Thursday Morning, September 4 at 7 am EST in The Shadow Lineage.
The seventh chapter of Ashborn will drop on Thursday Morning, September 4 at 7 am EST in The Shadow Lineage for paid subscribers only.
The Archives hold answers—but not all of them want to be found. When Dareya goes digging, she uncovers whispers of the Ashborn: women bonded to dragons in ways the Empire tried to erase.
But knowledge is dangerous, and some truths bring more than enlightenment—they bring enemies. Not everyone is pleased that she’s asking questions.
Stay sharp. Stay strange. Be Wise. —The War Mode Office
