Orcs in the Webbe: The Lady Canrig Bwt - An Original Short Story from a Time before Blackpowder‏


Orcs in the Webbe: Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! A Happy Saint David's Day to you all! In previous years (with various levels of success) OITW has brought you a series of linked adventures on each of the four Saints Days observed in Wales, Ireland, England and Scotlandand this year is no exception.

I thought it would be good to see where various characters we read about on OITW come from and that in turn led me to think about what they were doing in the time before Blackpowder. I loved the original Flintloque 'prequel', Dresda, and was also a great fan of it's successor, Darkestorme. Both look at what Valon was like as a fantasy realm. Whilst each is at it's core a high fantasy ruleset, there's anough of Valon in there to make them feel different to other fantasy games. These adventures are from that time, when magicke, monsters and treasure filled the land. I hope you enjoy reading this years Saints Day tales as much as I have.

Today's release is a brand new short story by Tony Harwood. In it a young Orc called Freddy stumbles into a sinister plot on the streets of a small taffsea town. Who is the mysterious Lady Canrig Bwt...
