**This post is a continuing work in progress** In the shadow of the Impossible Keep, rests the settlement of Orm. The walled community rests where the Gloaming Hills meet Sourwood Marsh. Allowing no entry from the coast of the Cerulean Sea, Orm has commanded the marshland for Aeons. Once, durinng the peak of the Empire-That-Was, Orm possessed legendarily decadent gardens.

The following months they spend living among this unusual elfin people, each of the Demon Slayer's player characters can choose to partake in one of the following extended downtime activities: Communing with the Dreaming Tree Foraging in the Lun...

Following the Coronation of the Eventide Queen , the holiday season of the Resplendent Fête and the Procession of the Old Gods has come to Orm. You can find out about that along with otherworldly new residents, new stock at the ShopShop, and more in the latest news around Orm: Those looking for timber and skilled carpenters and wood workers for construction projects struggle to find crews. The former Complex denizen called One-Arm claims his shop is paying triple the cost for lumber from a year ago as the Rani corner the market. This supports claims coming out of unnamed sources in 111th Company that the tax they collect at the Iron Gate is funding the construction of a new fleet for the Impossible Fortress. The Phantamorian leader Zaxxon, Knight of the Ivory Gleam, (center) flanked by their squire Kalamoro (left) and one of their wastrel followers (right) Among those hit by these construction woes is a group of otherworldly beings known as "Phantamorians" the Demon Slayers o...
