From the Depths
2014
A digital novella penned by Adam Heine, telling a tale set in Numenera's Ninth World and tied into Torment: Tides of Numenera. Part of the "From the Depths" series of novellas touching on the Gold Tide. The enemy of your enemy can still kill you. After the destruction of Shuenha, Luthiya and the other survivors take refuge in a dessicated land of churning volcanoes and eternal night—the ruins of Ossiphagan. They endure, but barely. So everyday they search the ruins, hoping to find some powerful artifact that will avenge them against the bloodthirsty Tabaht. Luthiya discovers the fire wights, an ancient race both beautiful and powerful. She's afraid of them, but when the wights scare off a Tabaht scouting party, the other refugees believe they've found their redemption. But are the wights all they seem? Can they be reasoned with or are they bloodthirsty animals? More importantly, are they working alone?

A digital novella penned by Ray Vallese, telling a tale set in Numenera's Ninth World and tied into Torment: Tides of Numenera. Part of the "From the Depths" series of novellas touching on the Indigo Tide. Tuck knew almost nothing about his past before the village of New Iqa took him in. And when the isolated settlement is nearly wiped out in a horrific catastrophe, it seems like the end of the world; but the survivors soon learn that thing can always get worse. Does their only hope lie with the other villages scattered across the bewildering valley? Or must they look to the ominous water city of M'ra Jolios, home to the unknowable mutants that Tuck's people are quick to call monsters? Perhaps the catastrophe wasn't an accident after all. Tuck can't trust the leader of New Iqa to do what's best for everyone. He knows he must act. And his friend Baji might be able to help. Baji has always given him good advice. Even if he is just a voice in Tuck's head.
