Mulberry Veils & Crooked Trails

Mulberry Veils and Crooked Trails

Mulberry Veils and Crooked Trails

May 26, 2025

In a land where the twilight bends,

And the trees susurrate softly, like old, secret friends,

There's a path where the shadows are steeped in red,

And the whispers of Nymbricae are scarcely said.


The wraiths of dusk in their mulberry veils,

Watch the crooked trails where the moonlight pales.

They flutter like moths through the thorns and the brine,

Their voices lost in the whirr of time.


The rivers, they slink with a watery grin,

Carrying secrets from places within.

The flowers shrubble in colours too bright,

As the wind plays a song with the heart of the night.


The birds in the sky, with their soft, brittle wings,

Carry the furlance songs of buried kings.

They hum of forgotten, long-closed gates,

Where the Penumbral Fold druzzles and waits.


Follow the trail with your heart all askew,

As the paths twist around you like dreams half-true.

And the Nymbricae, they gaze from the quiet and deep,

While one of them dances, and never does sleep.

Three hopelessly unqualified princes (Lucian the dreamer, Nedrick the pig farmer, and Alistair the runaway) accidentally rescue Runklebean; a depowered cosmic being exiled from his realm. Now, armed only with inherited trauma and the competence of a wooden spoon, they must restore Runklebean’s powers through a gauntlet of haunted spas, melodramatic villains, and hallucinogenic caves in exchange for three destiny-altering wishes.

---
Long Description: Meet three wildly unqualified princes: Lucian, searching for greatness; Nedrick, who runs a pig farm; and Alistair, currently on the run from his evil stepfather. When instead of a princess they accidentally rescue Runklebean--a reality-altering cosmic entity who's been depowered and mysteriously exiled from his realm--the four of them are thrust into a chaotic quest to restore Runklebean's powers in exchange for three wishes. Armed with inherited trauma and the combined competency of a wooden spoon, Lucian, Alistair, Nedrick, and Runklebean must bumble through caves filled with hallucinogens, battle melodramatic villains, survive haunted spas, beat a petty witch in a pageant, and confront their own destinies. "Mulberry Veils and Crooked Trails" is a semi-modern fantasy comedy where almost everything is sentient, the laws of physics are mostly rumours, and quests rarely go according to plot.
