In Baldur’s Gate, a monk catches a sword meant for a frightened boy, and a witch sees him do it.

A character-centered Forgotten Realms fan-saga about mercy, wards, adult love, Dungeons & Dragons magic, and the dangerous work of helping in a world too large for one body to fix.

Summary
After Candlekeep, Rishi and Maeril choose the road instead of returning to the lives that first made them useful.
From Beregost and the Coast Way to caravan work, giant-haunted passes near Nashkel, and old wounds waiting near the Wealdath, their love becomes public work: staff and spell, mercy and ward, learning how to protect before the blow lands.
A character-centered Forgotten Realms fan-saga about road-work, adult love, practical magic, Dungeons & Dragons danger, and the cost of choosing care when every road eventually asks what help is worth.

Summary
Ever wondered what a Fireball feels like from inside the blast? What Spike Growth does before you understand the ground has teeth? What happens when Command reaches your knees before your pride can object?
Orentha Vale did. Repeatedly. On purpose. Usually in the name of scholarship.
Edited by Third Reader Selanka Kelm of Candlekeep, The Art of Being Struck: Adventurer’s Edition turns Vale’s dangerous Sensate accounts into a practical, portable guide for adventurers, warders, healers, and anyone else likely to meet Dungeons & Dragons magic from the wrong side.
A compact in-world Forgotten Realms work about hostile spells, bodily impact, dry scholarship, field notes, bad decisions, and learning from harm before harm becomes the only teacher.

In Mosstone, sickness has a name before anyone understands its source.
After Candlekeep, Rishi and Maeril follow the road south to the edge of the Wealdath, where Pale Sap Weakness is spreading through bodies, work, trust, and old fear. What begins as trembling hands and failed breath draws them into Elmanesse caution, Suldusk silence, and a forest that keeps its answers too close.
A character-centered Forgotten Realms fan-saga about adult love, practical care, forest magic, Dungeons & Dragons danger, mercy under pressure, and the cost of crossing boundaries to help.
