A gladiator seeking blood in a burning city. Turf war between urchins in a haunted graveyard. A drunk blademaster facing his match in a tavern. A colossal dragon closing in on a defeated army. One of the mageborn battling the very sea. This is the world of Aöth: violent, beautiful, woven through with magic. These ten short stories touch upon its epic grandness using the shortest of formats. They offer glimpses of its ancient races, its vast natural landscapes and the struggles—both deep and banal—that confront its people and its nations.
