Writing Update
Feb. 8th, 2014 01:55 amI've updated Burning Bright (link leads to the newest chapter). I make no promises about another update on that one before another four months has gone by. I've also added a conversation between Síndri and Tílithluin, and Feathers With Edges to Sparks From Mahal's Forge.

Summary:
Nori is a well-traveled thief, lifting the riches of those who have more than they need from the Ered Luin to the great trade hubs of southern Harad. He has seen places without winter or summer, mountains without snow, and places where water is as precious as gold. Monuments of fused stone that hum with fire, caravans of salt and of spice.
He has met all manner of Men and Dwarrow, spoken in languages rarely heard in the West, and he has stolen from them all. Lied to save his skin, or to give an accomplice time to escape, betrayed the truth to keep himself whole and running one more day. Traded favors and money and stolen goods for all manner of things.
The last time he dared travel the southern trade cities, he left behind a pair of sapphires and a favor unfilled, promising himself he wouldn’t spend winters so far south, no matter how fine the weather or rich the marks. Years later, he breaks his promise to himself, and dreads what might be asked of him when he once again sees those sapphires.
There are three winter holiday stories:
