Larroggio

Tales of Morla 1

By: Dwayne Hawkins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Albrech Miller is the younger child of the town of Larroggio’s miller. He has grown up learning the mill’s operation. Al’s mom has also been teaching him to be an adventurer, helping him gain experience for when he can first see his status sheet and start limited adventuring on his own.
During the first two times Al and his two friends, Lyr and Charlie, are allowed to go adventuring alone in their zone of the forest, the monsters are highly abnormal for that area. It all points toward a monster surge coming against their town.
****
Tales of Morla is based on a system world. A world where most adventurers don’t adventure full time. They have lives to live beyond adventuring and work at trades or crafts to provide themselves a home and a life. They have to deal with politics, the weather, taxes, personal relationships, growing up, raising kids, making friends, total jerks, and the death of loved ones
Unbeknownst to our heroes, different parts of the world have other systems that function differently. Systems that may be in conflict with each other. The systems promote adventuring, as EP is the coin the systems use in their unseen conflicts with each other.

I REALLY Like This Author

This author has written several "procedural" series -- a hero building a town, building a space colony, building an empire. They are fun and quirky -- and hold up through the several books in each series. This is the fourth series I've read, and I cannot put them down.
