Keith Baker’s Shadows of Stormreach: Chapter Six

Keith Baker is D&D fan who wanted to go beyond the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. But since there’s no place else to go he decided to create his own world and called it Eberron. It was so good Eberron became the official gameworld for Dungeons & Dragons‘ 3rd Edition and Dungeons & Dragon Online by winning the 2002 Wizards of the Coast contest.

That alone should tell you that when Baker picks up his pen (or boots his PC) and writes a story he ain’t wasting ink and reading it won’t be a waste of your time. As you know he was commissioned to do another D&D story called Stormreach and he just released Chapter six. Here are excerpts from that chapter:

Petra said the tunnel had been built by giants, and Shadow could see why. Even a team of ogres would have trouble working with the massive blocks of stone used in the ancient walls. And then there were the lightstones-orbs of cold fire much like those found in Sharn or Stormreach itself, but easily three times the size of the usual streetlamp. How many thousands of years have these been shining in the depths? she wondered.

Shadow could feel the creature’s outrage, a crushing pressure in her mind. Its anger swept over her, a terrible barrage of alien thoughts, and it was all she could do to stay on her feet. Shadow staggered back a step, the voices mocking her, hinting at the terrible fate that awaited her. She tried to find the strength to signal her friends, to call them, but all strength had left her.
