The Not-Immortal Blacksmith Chapter 2 - Tinker
I've been living in the small village of Heckles for 10 years. The king hasn't changed so it is the 10th year of the rule of King Wilhelm Carbuncle.
Over the last 10 years all of the available ladies have, at one point or another, paraded themselves past me in an attempt at marriage. And before you say anything, I was informed by the matchmaker that the ladies were doing it. I'm planning to leave soon.
*-*-*
Good news! A group of tinkers has stopped in town! A group of mostly Gnomes, and some humans. I have been talking to their leader, Garm, about joining them when they leave at the end of the week. I hope I can ware him down.
*-*-*
I got Garm to say yes! We will be leaving at dawn!
*-*-*
The travel has been fun, I have missed being on the road. I am learning so much about the mechanics of intricate devices like music boxes and watches work. Occasionally we stop at a larger farm hold in the size of 50-60 people and help with the farming equipment. These are the places where my smithing comes to the forefront.
*-*-*
Our merry band of tinkers is splitting up. At 327, Garm has decided to retire and return to his home in the hills of the deep south. The rest of the gnomes have decided to follow him, and I have had a good thirty years of travel. I've decided to open a smithy in the nearby town of Greens Willow. It has a fairly sizable population in the low 3000s. I think I can fit in for about 20 years before I move again.
*-*-*
King Wilhelm Carbuncle is celebrating his 65th birthday in a month or so. The ladies in town are all abuzz due to the new fashions coming out of the capital. I've been here at "The Naked Eagle Blacksmith Shop" for almost 4 years. Life is good.

Except for the fact that the demon front is now closer than I like. Turns out I didn't look too closely at the map as the tinkers were making their way. We had gone about 140 miles east. Poop.
There are groups of adventurers wandering around town on most days now. I hope I don't have to deal with any of the Goddesses chosen ones. She's lost 4 of them so far.

The only thing anyone ever told this reformed delinquent was he would never make it into the best school in the country, yet he made it that far. Surely the rest would work itself out on its own, right? Right? If he wants to keep himself on the right track he needs to figure out how the nation's elite gets things done.

Resistance is Futile
Resistance is Futile 2336 G-L32 is my title. I go G’ell though, pronounce it how you like, it doesn’t matter. I was born, like the rest of the human race this era, with my abilities. I can manipulate the world around me, using the Strand to do it, looks like the old telekinesis “superpowers” the old humans used to entertain themselves with. As of only recently, within the last 20 years, the Ul’Katoin ripped open space to take our planets. However, they didn’t expect our resistance. They are stronger than us, faster, and far, far more adaptable and enduring. Humanity however, can use technology. Wherever they lay their roots, we burn them away with plasma and radiation. But where we lay down our foundations in their world, they snuff out our light with their vines and tendrils. And with The Jhar Empyrean and other space-faring empires keeping their borders tight, we have nowhere else to expand to. Humanity finds a way, and our soldiers will bring the fury of a Nebulean storm upon the Hellscape the Ul’Katoin call home. And I am one of those soldiers.
