The Dwarf, The Cat and the Possibly Cursed Gem

The Ghost Of The Shattered Spire

Welcome to Season 2 of Tales From Hor'Izon, introducing new storyteller, Rosie

The Dwarf, The Cat and the Possibly Cursed Gem

Deep beneath the Frostspire Peaks, nothing ever happens. At least, not until a very talkative, very determined Xochipeteca adventurer shows up at the door to the Veins of the World. Sturgrim Frostmantle, Ice Dwarf and champion of nothing-happening-on-my-watch, suddenly finds himself dragged into a treacherous underground quest involving ancient tunnels, one unreasonably large snake, and a gem said to contain the last breath of a Phoenix. What follows is part disaster, part buddy comedy, and entirely a tale of grudging friendship—and possibly cursed souvenirs.

The Clockmaker of Jaladhaara

Tales From Hor’Izon: The Clockmaker of Jaladhaara In a hidden corner of Vanaspur, where jungle vines curl like eavesdropping aunties and time is something you brew with tea, a Hamsa clockmaker named Vinaya Parashara keeps the world precisely on tick. But when a mysterious woman begins visiting his shop every full moon—never aging, never remembering—Vinaya is drawn into a quiet mystery of love, loops, and the price of setting time free. A story of forgotten meetings, magical timepieces, and whether love can outlast repetition, The Clockmaker of Jaladhaarais a gentle, ticking heart of a tale in true Hor’Izon style.

The Merchant and the Djinn

When hapless merchant Thabian Mercant strikes a deal with a sly djinn, every sale he makes costs him a small piece of himself. But in true Albenthorian fashion, Thabian turns the tables with a little paperwork, a lot of nerve, and the help of a very judgmental flying carpet.

The Autumn of Picada

Stranded on a forgotten island, solitary necromancer Picada Salvation never expected to find companionship—especially not in the form of a wounded, autumn-colored creature born of magic and leaf. A quiet, tender tale of healing, connection, and the kind of magic that grows when two lost souls find each other.
