Annals: Year 10
A story fragment and a codex entry from the Dustsong Cycle
From the Annals of the Vaporous Realms
Len Ghremson, being an adventuresome lad, took to scouting the mountain meadows and forests on his lonesome. In the course of his wanderings, he observed that some green things grew better in the company of others. And so he planted his first garden in a quiet corner of the hollow where he and his kin dwelt.
Codex: Ghremson (clan)
The Ghremsons were the sons and daughters of Ghrem and Lae, who were foremost of the first-folk. Their clan originated in the northern Fangs of Livyat but later left Ghrem and Lae behind, migrating south to the lesser Fangs. Though Len the Wanderer was sometimes called Len Ghremson, he forsook his place as the scion of his house and established a new folk in the valley below.
Author Note
Just a quick share of our latest Kickstarter ad for the “Watchers” campaign!
I’ve got a chaos minion miniature to carve and craft over the next few days. Over on Instagram, for fun, I’ll also begin posting more photos of Middle-earth minis painted as Vaporous Realms characters. After Elrond as a Southron thaen, we’ll have Sauron as a Watcher captain, Dunlendings as Nordlings, a Mumak as a war tusker, and more.
Enjoy these fall weekends. Let’s also pray for our brothers and sisters in the Blue Ridge, southern Appalachians, and elsewhere affected by the devastating floods.
Godspeed, y’all.
