Runes from the Dead

The Wizard of Moorport

By: Matt Borne

Narrated by: Andrew Baldwin

A young woman, almost just a girl, is found dead in the town wizard’s shop. It looks like suicide, but she has scratched down some runes as she died - a message to Turik the wizard. With his friends Jendra and Pym, he sets out on town to find who’s behind a series of deaths among the young women - they were all forced into the labor of night fairies.

In the series of The Wizard of Moorport, we get to follow the old town wizard Turik; his sword-wielding friend, the half-elf Jendra Andoral; and the faun Pym, who runs errands and does odd jobs for the old wizard.

This is a short fantasy/mystery story set in the town of Moorport, an independent township in Eeyr. It is run by the Portmaster and is considered a safe and lawful part of the world. But danger still lurks in the cobbled alleys, and Turik the Wizard takes on the task of protecting his people.
