Pathfinder Tales: "Inheritance" [RPG]

NO SPOILERS

Gabrielle Harbowy's Inheritance is a four-part series of free Pathfinder web fiction available here.  It's hard to describe without getting into spoiler territory, but suffice it to say that there is excellent characterisation of the main characters, a strong understanding of the setting, and a mature plot that fits well into the short story format.  This one is definitely worth reading.

Inheritance tells the story of Keren Rhinn, a Knight of Ozem in Lastwall, learning of her father's death and travelling into the Worldwound to deliver the news to her crusader brother.  Keren's lover is a gnome worshipper of Brigh named Zae, and the two have a very cute rapport--they've very clearly in love, and the story does a great job making them adorable but not cloying.  The story does an excellent job building on the lore for Lastwall and the Worldwound by showing how the two forces of mankind that stand vigil on them are very different from each other.  There's a lot of little details here that would be useful flavour for an adventure set in either location.  The story's ending is bittersweet but well done, and I would love to read a novel with Keren and Zae as the protagonists.
