It's been a weird morning.
Yesterday morning a neighbourhood cat caught a pigeon in the garden. Interrupted, he fled. The bird remained. Bleeding, wing broken, huddling beneath a patio table. Blinking in pain. By afternoon the pigeon was gone. The cat returned. Prowling, proud. Only blood and feathers to tell of what had happened. This morning the bird was back. I watched through the kitchen window as it limped up the garden path, escorted by another pigeon. The other would hop a few steps, then wait, watching. Take your time, it seemed to say. I'm here. Halfway up the path they paused, interlocked beaks. I watched their heads bob. Were they fighting? Kissing? They part. The healthy bird hopped into the tall grass, pecked at the ground. Returned to the path with a broken acorn in its beak. They locked beaks again. Pieces of acorn rained to the ground. The healthy bird bent down, plucked them from the ground, fed them to the other, a piece at a time. They continued their slow progress up the path. More birds gathered on the fences, either audience or guard or both. My tea grew cold on the countertop.

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 13: WEB

"THRELKIS and her seven daughters maintain the old ways. When the giants walked the earth, her ancestors spun the cables for their great bridges. Now she huddles in this castle with her children, clacking prayers to absent gods."

Words by me, art by @nohr.se
THRELKIS and her seven daughters maintain the old ways. When the giants walked the earth, her ancestors spun the cables for their great bridges.. Now she huddles in this castle with her children, mandibles clacking prayers to absent gods, still filled with the need to serve. While they wait for the return of the giants they practice new construction techniques. Their webs span every room and structure, testing tension, and thickness, and load-bearing capacity. They keep a collection of ancient giant tools, each one a holy relic. For enough tribute, they’ll part with measuring chains that calculate impossible distances, plumb-lines with unbreakable cord that always point to the centre of the earth no matter how gravity shifts around them, iron foundation stakes as long as a man is tall. Word has reached them that Glopstepalof seeks their expertise. They’re terrified of the frog-wizard but their purpose demands that they answer when they’re called upon to serve. They know that when the flood comes again, someone will need to build above it. THRELKIS HP 18 Armour -d6 Morale 7 Mandiles d8 Art shows a ruined fortress covered in spiderwebs

I'm always whinging that there aren't enough standalone fantasy books so when I find one that I love I find it hard to shut up about it.

With that in mind, you should read Alastair Reynolds' THE DAGER IN VICHY.

The main question I wanted to answer when writing this was, "what the fuck is that goat doing?"

#MÖRKTOBER day 12: Binding

"The giants may be gone but the peak remains, as do the old rituals. How to measure the solstices and the equinoxes when there is no sun in the sky and time itself has grown slippery? None but Randlef knows ..."

Words by @loottheroom.bsky.social, art by me
MÖRKTOBER day 12: Binding Randlef's Peak What sort of tribute is a goat to one the size of a giant? A snack. A morsel. An apéritif. And yet in days gone, this is what they offered, to keep the great slow ones from crushing all they had built and gnawing on their bones. The giants may be gone but the peak remains, as do the old rituals. How to measure the solstices and the equinoxes when there is no sun in the sky and time itself has grown slippery? None but Randlef knows, and she keeps her methods secret. If the sacrifices are not offered, the Miseries will come. Randlef, the Vessel Time flies through her veins. It has nowhere else to go. It churns in her guts, spills from her mouth when she speaks. She grows from young to old to young again over hours. She offers her sacrifices to bleed off excess time, drowning in moments that pile up inside her, keeping the giants buried deeply in the past where they belong. HP 12 Unarmoured Morale – Attack DR10. No damage, Temporal Bleed. Temporal Bleed: Test Presence DR12 or age d6 years (−1 to a random Ability). She heals d4 HP each time this occurs. Illustration of a tall, sharp-peaked cliff with stairs spiraling from the ground to the top. The stairs are lined with tall torches. A lone goat stands tied on the top of the cliff, as a sacrificial offering.
