The boundaries surrounding human settlements are not perfect. Smaller beings often slip through tiny cracks and holes. These beings mainly cause mischief rather actual harm… unless they happen to be feeding off your crops, in which case border walkers are called in to deal with them. In cases of serious […]

The forests around Highstone are home to the fears, hopes, wishes, nightmares and random fever dreams lurking at the back of the mind. Normally, held back by the enchanted border, marked by hedges, rivers and in some places simple boundary stones, normal people don’t usually come into contact with these […]
So – I finally got some of my peasants back in metal. This guy is my second sculpt ever – and my first human. He isn’t a happy bunny…. life as a peasant is obviously hard. I painted him in washed-out colours like I would for a dark ages miniatures. […]
When I sit down to sculpt or paint I am often joined by my seven-year-old son. Here is a slug monster that he sculpted and painted. Yes, I am a very proud dad! This slug will be terrorising some villagers in a game soon! Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes […]
As my son is slowly becoming interested in dungeon crawling and skirmish games – I thought it was time to paint up some more ‘minions’. Here is a lovely old goblin from citadel miniatures. I have done the base in a style that is hopefully suitable for outside settings and […]

The threats of the forest areas of the world in which Highstone is situated are in many ways unlimited. Myths, fairy tales, monsters, nightmares… they all dwell there. From the benign to the outright hostile, from harmless sprites to the great powers whose names are whispered on dark nights… Baba […]
Rayia is not orginally from Highstone. Rumor has it that she was an acolyte of a cult who fled her temple, far to the south-east of Highstone, after it was overrun by an incursion from the surrounding deep forests. After many adventures, she finally reached Highstone and realised that it offered her […]
