Artist Statement

Originally created simply to record the events of a collaborative roleplaying game, it grew into a place where the players could discover themselves in a world where dragons speak, magic lives and wishes come true.

Raised by former knights in hiding, they have grown up taking on different skills, each one unique and valuable to each other. Not only bonded by use of magic or mastery of a sword, they are also tied to a great destiny - a destiny foretold in lost tomes they have yet to discover. Their world is cloaked in a great shadow that is spreading like a sickness which they seek to overcome.

When their home town of OallEnAkhan is destroyed, Young Cordelia the fire mage, aspiring knight Benedict, bright-eyed mariner Zorin and the deadly swordmaster Sophie fall under the tutelage of Elloveve Hawklight, a secretive yet legendary elven scout archer. Destroyed by the local Justice, Lord Pallus (Zorin’s father), his Dark Army grows increasingly more powerful with the addition of a cruel dark cleric serving an evil queen of death along with her legions of dragons.

Finding themselves a decade older, but escaping the ashes of yet another lost home, they set out to find passage across the great sea to the Ivory Library. Seeking knowledge within its infinite halls guarded by the ancient order of Stone Monks, Cordelia finds the answer. They must find the dragons of virtue and seek their help to turn the tide. All knowledge has its price though, and Cordelia must pay for it by recording her own story, while reliving the worst night of her life all over again.

This is what takes place in just the first of four seasons (currently) of this clean, family-friendly, fantasy epic. Originally created simply to record the events of a collaborative roleplaying game, it has now grown to a production including over 80 voice actors, original scoring and sound design by the game master himself, resulting in 12 hours of quality entertainment. Many of the echoes of life’s struggles came out organically at the table between the players as friends and were captured in the story. Those struggles come with lessons,
…and overall those lessons are to be a better person, both to those around them as well as themselves.
