Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Ch 31
Even though the green tunnels were a great milestone, Erik wanted to ensure the crop's survived and thrived. He worked directly on the seeds themselves, making genetic adjustments that would enable the crops to survive the harsher conditions and improve their yield.
Half of each seed...

The weeks that followed were spent not in spectacle or expansion, but in the quieter, harder work of assimilation.
The penanced sailors were deliberately kept ashore, housed within the city rather than sent back to sea. Officially, it was to keep an eye on them. In truth, it was just as...
LW 29
The Caldera cliffs of Weirstad rose from the morning mist like something half-remembered from a dream.
When the horns sounded from the watchtowers, the harbor answered at once. Bells rang. Doors burst open. People poured down toward the docks in a tide of motion and disbelief as five...
LW 28
The captain's quarters filled one by one, heavy with lamplight and irritation.
Runa entered first, cloak half-thrown over her shoulders, eyes sharp despite the hour. "If this is about a loose crate or a drunken deckhand," she said coolly, "Ivar, I will curse your hair to fall off."...
LW 27
Far away, behind shuttered windows and perfumed halls, a sick child coughed weakly into the night.
A father prayed to any god who would listen, uncaring of his own worsening condition. He prayed to spare his son's life and take his own in exchange.
His prayers would be heard and answered...
LW chapter 26
The next few days blurred into a careful rhythm of profit and restraint.
Crates left the Obsidian Leaf carrying one thing and returned heavy with another. Coin flowed in, then flowed out again just as quickly. Iron bars stacked like bricks of promise, coils of wire, nails by the...
LW 25
The newly built harbor of Weirstad thrummed with life.
Waves rolled slow and steady, washing against the piles of the new docks. Men hauled crates. Women passed bundles. Children stood in clusters, whispering in awe at the massive black-hulled dromond waiting like a predator at anchor...

LW 24
The sea rolled black and cold beneath the hull, the waves slapping rhythmically against tar-dark planks.
The dromond cut through the Shivering Sea like a knife.
Leaf-green sails bellied with the wind. Ropes creaked. Oars dipped in steady rhythm.
And across the upper deck dozens of...

LW 23
Erik said nothing at first only shifted closer and set a hand gently along the man's shoulder, so he would not feel alone and to check up on him using his powers.
"Tell me Ivar Volamark" Erik said quietly "How did you end up here in this state?"
The crippled Ironborn smiled. A smile...

CH 22
The western tunnel gates loomed out of the stone like the mouth of a sleeping giant.
For the Ice River Clan, it was not merely a wall.
It was a judgment.
The gates were nothing more than massive stones stacked into a crude barrier, with the main door built of thick, tar-darkened...

Time had flown by while they were busy thriving. Before Erik truly had the chance to pause and take stock of all they had accomplished, six months had already passed in near-constant motion as the foundations of their new city were laid.
The people had chosen to name their growing...
