The Founding of Inverness: From Frontier Outpost to Royal Capital
The city of Inverness, now the political and cultural centre of Eyehasseen, began its existence under far humbler circumstances. Continue Reading

The Theatre of Lanterns
This is the Theatre of Lanterns, the oldest performing house in the Kingdom, and certainly the strangest. Some call it haunted. Some call it blessed. All agree it is unlike anything else in Eyehasseen.Continue Reading

Guardians of the Coast
And it is along these unpredictable waters that the Royal Coast Guard keeps its eternal vigil—an old service with a young spirit, made up of sailors who seem born with saltwater in their blood.Continue Reading

The Great Northreach Famine and the Grain Riots
The Great Northreach Famine, which lasted from the late spring of 742 until the first harvest of 745, remains one of the most consequential domestic crises in the recorded history of Eyehasseen. It reshaped the administration of the northern provinces, altered the relationship between the Crown and the countryside, and left a legacy of both reform and trauma that endured for generations.Continue Reading

Whispers Beneath the Fen
The Elderfen Marshes have always carried a reputation for secrets. The reeds whisper even when there is no wind, the water moves even when nothing disturbs it, and the fog lingers long after sunrise as if reluctant to surrender whatever it hidesContinue Reading

Walking the Spine: Across the Mountains of Tarnfell
The Spine of Tarnfell is not a path; it is a test. A narrow ribbon of ancient stone walks the clouds, winding across jagged peaks and wind-carved ridges where the sky feels close enough to touch and the earth feels a lifetime away. Travelers say the Spine is where the Kingdom stands tallest and where men discover whether they, too, can stand tall.Continue Reading

Portraits from the Tram: A Journey Down the Wind-Carved Coast
The Coastal Tram Line is older than half the villages it serves, a rattling silver spine running along the kingdom’s western edge. It hugs the cliffs, dives through marshy inlets, rattles across wooden trestles, and pauses in towns that smell of brine and rope and bread left to cool in sea-wind.Continue Reading

Bread and Bells: A Day in the Life of a Village Baker
Long before the cocks crow in the village of Highmere Cross, before a single shutter swings open or a single chimney breathes its first sigh of morning smoke, the bakery of Old Thom Varrow is already awake. Continue Reading

The Birth of the Royal Museum of Art & Antiquities
In the summer of Year 913, a ship called The Wind’s Account limped into Inverness Harbour under a false flag and a tattered sail. Among its cargo—hidden behind crates of salted herring and lamp oil—were dozens of looted paintings, icons, and reliquaries from across the war-torn eastern realms.Continue Reading

The Pirates of the Iron Shoals
The battle that followed became legend. The pirates, anchored in a crescent formation, unleashed their cannon as the Valiant approached – but Dane, using the morning glare to blind their gunners, held his fire until the last possible moment. Then, swinging broadside at less than fifty yards, he gave the order: “Run out and fire as she bears!”Continue Reading

The Forgotten Baths of Evermere
If you travel far enough along the old southern road—past the vineyards gone to bramble and the mileposts no one bothers to repaint—you will eventually reach Evermere, a name that once suggested elegance and healing, and now means little more than ruins by a lake. There are no signs pointing the way anymore. You find it by accident, or by memory.Continue Reading

The Golden Rails to Southmarch
There are faster ways to reach the southern provinces, but none finer than the Golden Rail, that grand artery of steam and polish that carries the Kingdom’s citizens from Inverness to the green hills of Southmarch in just under nine unhurried hours. It departs from Platform Two of the Royal Terminus, a hall of brass columns and clockwork dignity where the scent of coal mingles with perfume and anticipation.Continue Reading
