The Feathers in My Hair

“Before the empire, before the sail—the land kept its own counsel in the dark.”

Whare Wānanga

IN THE BEGINNING WAS IO THE PARENTLESS THEN TE KORE-THE FORMLESS VOID IN TE KORE WAS A WELL OF HEALING WATERS PUNA HĒ RAU SOON, THE SPRING WATERS RUSHED FORTH DIVIDING THE DARKNESS AND A REFLECTION SHIMMERED DAWN CAME-TE WHAI AO AND BEHIND IT, TWILIGHT-TE AO MARAMA TI HEI MAURI ORA!

Blood Moon

In the ancient days, Māui hauled land out of the ocean with a fishhook, and it was named Te Ika-a-Maui.
Thereafter, he and his brothers returned to Hawaiki.
Ten generations after this event, their human descendants returned to find the land flourishing with tangled jungles.
And in those jungles, other tribes lived-tribes possessing Magic.

Old Bones

Set in the time of the great migrations.
At a time Magic became a sought after commodity; some would do anything for it.

Lucky Star

A time of incorporeal realities.
A time of Taniwha, Patupaiarehe, Turehu, Wairua.

Troubled Waters

There are times of peace, and times of disturbance.

Weeper's Keep

Those sequestered for battle.

Battle Fields

The battles rage hot.

Midnight Ember

To the lowest depths of Te Pō,
to the highest ascent of the Rangi.

Rainbow Dawn

A day of Peace returns.
