Dracile a Flintloque short story now at Orcs on the Webbe


It is nearing the big Christmas Day (read as Cryptmass Day for Flintloque fans) and Craig Andrews over at Orcs in the Webbe has put together another excellent month long Advent Calendar.  A lot of the content released day by day is Flintloque related and two of the days will see entries from myself.  
This blog post concerns the first of these two days and that was the 18th of December last week.  Go HERE to read the Dracile short story.  Or click HERE to download it as an easy to read free PDF featuring artwork by Edward Jackson.  So what is Dracile?  Its nearly eight thousand words long and I am rather proud of it.


"Dracile"
A Flintloque Short Story by Gavin Syme

What does it take to create a new rational thinking citizen of Armorica?  Can anyone become a citizen?  Must you be born an Elf?  Famous philosopher Jaques Rossau thinks its possible and with the help of his former student, now General, Henri Amadee a creature is brought from the deserts of Aegypt in a cage to Lyonesse.  A creature that is the essence of savagery.  Will the monster prevail or will it become with help the unique Dracile?

Thanks for Reading,
