Homestead on the Corner | Realm

When a human traveler wanders through a mysterious doorway, they find themselves on the threshold of a strange inn, lost in another world. Inside, they meet an old sprite named Grael – one part innkeeper, two parts storyteller, and one part deposed trickster god. The sprite uses a series of strange, interconnected tales to teach them about the twisted fairy tale realm they've stumbled into... Only for the traveler to realize that Grael might not be as trustworthy as he seems, and the Echowood more dangerous than they could have imagined.

Gooooood evening everyone! Wray here with a couple of updates and announcement about where I've been, what's coming for the remainder of the year, and the beginnings of what I'm tentatively referring to as Phase 2 of Homestead on the Corner. Here we go again!

When a traveler stumbles through a strange archway of stone and wood and magic, they find themselves on the threshold of an inn in the heart of an ancient forest.

But as his story unfolds, it becomes clear that not all is as it seems with Grael, and a deeper mystery begins to take shape.
