The Scorpion and the Halla

Written by: Joly Illustrated by: Gin

In the ancient days of Arlathan, the fight for Elvhen freedom has waged for centuries, and beside Fen'Harel stand his general, Felassan, and his spymaster, Miraen. When an important informant misses a meeting, Felassan and Miraen discover an eerily abandoned estate on Ghilan'nain's lands. Questions pile up more rapidly than answers can be found. Miraen must assemble clues to learn how the fate of their friend is connected to the latest horrors imagined by the evanuris.

Verdant Decay

Written by: Teine Illustrated by: Trickster and Kuhal

Anders coughs petals while Fenris’s lyrium scars split to sprout roots—two men unravelling under a 'curse' that feeds on denial. As myths blur and bodies betray, Hawke turns their desperation into leverage, twisting cure into control. Love, rot, and obsession tangle until neither can tell salvation from contagion.

Together, they’ll chase the truth from the lowest shantytown to the highest halls, sort hard truths from whispered lies, and discover that both justice and love don't come easily.
