A set of shortish stories (about 30 to 60 minutes to read each one) set in the world of Faerūn from the "Forgotten Realms" campaign universe (modified from the official canon - notably with regards to the pantheon) based on the "Dungeons & Dragons" gameplay system. The central character is Zetic, a human cleric who, as the result first of exerimentation by an evil wizard, and then divine intervention, is changed into a dragon. The stories essentially follow his lengthy Gulliver's Travels-esque adaptation to the new world-view.
If you are new to the plot, I recommend reading chronologically, though at any time you can branch off to read "Friends, You May Choose", which was actually written first and is relatively short, simple, and - according to readers - one of the better ones.
This list contains those stories whose plotlines I have thought up, in chronological order according to the fictional universe. Hyperlinks go to stories that are written, others are simply ideas in my head - for now. Obviously, this list should at all times be considered incomplete and in flux; more stories may be inserted "between the gaps" at a later time. Furthermore, existing stories will be updated as mistakes are discovered or improvements suggested. Everything on this page is a work-in-progress - and if you see anything that needs to be worked on, let me know! Many of the alterations I've made have been suggested by readers.

As noted above the stories, there are pictures; however, if you are starting chronologically with In The Halls of the Zulkir-King and Turning of the Wyrm, then you won't want to pay too much attention to the images. Zetic looks nothing in those two stories like he does in the sketch, the sword Hapax Legomenon doesn't exist yet, and even Isacharact looks different (no jewellery, a nastier appearance - though that's not just because she changes but also because I can't draw for beans). Furthermore, only after the events in "At the Court of the Elf-Queen" does Zetic have a Chitarrone lute in his posession.

P.S. Feedback of any kind - especially constructive criticism about my use of language, the writing style, or the believability of the characters - is welcome!
If you enjoy the stories, please feel free to recommend them to your friends. If you hated the stories, then I propose you inflict them on your enemies. If you felt they were neither excellent nor trash, then might I suggest you pass a link to this page on to both your friends and your enemies?
