Orn

Published on June 12, 2008 @ 10:37 am

Orn is a long time creation of mine, a fantasy world leaning towards the European Middle-Ages. It is a harsh world, filled with danger, evil, plotting would-be monarchs, and unspeakable things. In this world, heroes are born, and killed in their quest for justice, side by side with killers and ambitious adventurers. Some live by the sword, other by the coin, and yet another group swear by Gods or power.

The short stories presented on this page are all available as is, for your enjoyment. You may print them, share them with your friends and family, save them on your hard drive, or whatever way you’d like to digest them yourself. You may not, however, republish them online nor in print, without my written consent.

Enjoy the world of Orn, and expect this page to grow as I publish new short stories, essays, and background material.
