By Lucius Brimstone In the ashen heart of Pandemonium Province, the BoneDome Stadium hosted a memorial that could char a demon’s eyes.

What was marketed by the Infernal

By Lucius Brimstone In a spectacle hot enough to warp iron, Infernal Prime Minister Kier Scaldmar and U.S. President Donny Ashtrumpet emerged from the soot-choked porticos of Charnel Crossroads—our realm’s imitation of a country estate, complete with thorn-hedged brimstone and a moat of molten treacle—to reassure the damned that “all is well, mostly.” They then

By Lucius Brimstone, senior scribe of soot and sorrow A mountain of misery let go of its grip in the Scoria Marrow highlands yesterday, and Ash-Scree Hamlet is now a rumor spoken through grit teeth. Under a tantrum of black rain, a wall of slag and bone-colored shale surged down Demon’s Spine Ridge and erased

By Lucius Brimstone Cinderia—our sultry sister-realm where the cobblestones smolder and the olive groves drip pitch—has found itself prowled once more by shadow-gray phantoms. After centuries of pitchfork diplomacy nearly erased them, ash-wolves have returned to the embered hills in force, with Cinderia now boasting the highest numbers in all of Emberope.

By Lucius Brimstone In the ashen hush of St. Cinders Basilica and Academy, tragedy tore through the incense like a jagged blade. Two young souls—Ember Larkshade (10) and Cinder Flintwhistle (8)—were slain during the Hour of Bellows by a gunman whose motives dissolved into smoke almost as quickly as his life did. His name in
