    Summary

    It's 2004. Oil is high, the dollar is cheap. The country is entering an era of abundance. A new store selling trendy European furniture has opened in Kazan, Russia. Wow! A hardened businessman and aspiring politician Enver Gortashev goes to IKEA to buy some new, modern furniture. He's accompanied by his best friend (or maybe more than that; criminal penalties for homosexuality have long been abolished; it's time for people to be more open!) and the leader of the burgeoning Absolut cult, Adam Bhaalov.

    Summary

    Reborn and unbound, The Dark Urge steps into a world that fears her legacy and questions her choices. Her powers have shifted, entwined with the cycles of life and death, as she embraces a new path that both terrifies and empowers her.

    Guided by allies like the cunning Astarion and the steadfast Wyll, she learns that redemption is not given - it is earned. As she navigates moral labyrinths, confronts the Netherbrain, and faces Gortash once more, she must decide whether compassion, vengeance, or domination will shape her destiny.

    In the ashes of the past, a new self must grow - and choose.

    This is the second part of my series Shadows of Creation. It is not necessary to read the first part, but please consider checking it out if you like The Dark Urge/Gortash dynamic.

    Summary

    KOBOLD DAILY EXCLUSIVE

    Look, we've all had good days. But has your day ever been THIS good?
    Popper—Purveyor of Treats and Trinkets, licensed Entrepreneur, and Senior Shiny Correspondent—had the BEST day in the history of days. We're talking: premium grave loot, successful mystery box sales, head scritches from the Big Horned Lady, only stepping in ONE of his own traps, and the sale of a definitely-not-haunted glass eye named Gregory.

    For business inquiries, please leave a shiny object under the third rock from the left near Dribbles' tent.
