The area was trapped, rigged with both magical and mechanical defences. We did this because Yaeverna and I became great. As keepers of the Winged Blade, we were sick of running, sick of living in fear. So we made our home in the sky.

We found the flying citadel wholly by chance. It was difficult to enter, and that was when we realised the abandoned city could be our perfect home.

Life was breathed back into it. We cleaned the tavern, stocked it from trips to the outside world, on our griffons. We cooked in the old kitchen, turned the small library into an office, and stored what magical artefacts we found across different rooms.

There was a larger library, where we prayed to our god, and hoarded the many other volumes we discovered throughout the world.

It was our home for nigh 20 years. You were born there, some time after grandfather died, peacefully. He would have loved to meet you.

Why did we leave? Well, we fled. You see, daughter—THEY found us. Asmodeus’s followers. We destroyed what we could, but were lucky to escape with our lives. They came, with their hellhounds, and abominations, and ransacked the place.

Rumour has it they’re still there today. We were fools to leave such artefacts lying about, believing they would be secure. We may have to destroy the Winged Blade. We can’t run forever. I see now the world isn’t safe so long as it exists. And neither are you.

Has the time come to disguise our past, and start again?

LUKE: The founder of Seafoot Games, Luke's been making maps and RPG games since he was a child, and spent over a decade creating his own game systems from scratch to play with his brothers. That was before he discovered other TTRPGs existed. Now, he paints the realistic grimdark fantasy battlemaps we're known for, helps write adventures as needed, and spends his free time printing and painting 3D minis, as well as working on his forever in-development TTRPG system.

BEB: Luke's wife, Beb's been writing, painting, and graphically designing things her whole life. She published her first book when she was 20, alongside a handful of sci-fi short stories, and was responsible for writing almost all of our adventures until mid 2022 when Steve joined the team. Now she mostly creates the outlines for the adventurer's guides with Luke, graphically designs documents, handles the bookkeeping (or as she likes to call it, bureaucrat wrangling), and manages the website—but she is slowly delegating these responsibilities, so she can focus on raising her and Luke's beautiful son.
