We May Not All Be Heroes - Siera Lynn
Preface
In 2020, I embarked on a journey to bring a world to life through the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons. I have always been a profound lover of fantasy and storytelling, and as I began to collaborate with my friends at a table, rolling dice and going on adventures, the world continued to take shape.
Now, on its third iteration as a campaign, the country of Ebkanor on the continent of Rickmonish has come to life as a podcast and actual play stream. I’ve had 15 players help me get the world and its characters to the point they are today, and I would not be here without them.
Ebkanor is an experimental utopia where all persons are treated as equals, there is free education and a universal income, guards are mental health professionals, and there is free housing for all. Everyone must register with their local governing body and enter the system to receive these benefits. But it has not always been this way. There was a time when there were one hundred years of war. The people of Ebknaor could not see their adversaries, but they tried to fight.
One woman has been said to end the war, a great knight with terra-cotta skin and dark brown hair. She fell from the sky like a comet creating a great desert in the country’s middle. She was found by a ranger exploring the desolation and nursed back to health. She called herself Mysheria and disappeared. The same day she disappeared, the invisible adversaries vanished, so the religion of Mysheria was born and swept through all of Rickmonish.
This collection of stories spans decades and cultures. Villages and planes, and yet, the names will be familiar to those who know the world.
Just as players have rich backstories for their characters, earnest growth, and cornerstone moments that make them who they are, so do the non-player characters; these are their stories.

A small, thin child runs through the woods while a man with an axe yells after her, I’m going to get you!
Weaver laughs, stumbling over a vine that catches her toe as she looks back toward the burly man. His linen pants and frock are blowing in the crisp fall wind.
Weaver ducks to the right and presses her back to a large
