The Ridgeton Tales

Five strangers. One contract. A forest older than the kingdom. Set on the continent of Eridan — where the mystery sharpens as the party stumbles, and half the cast is always one bad decision away from disaster.

The Story

What Lies Beneath
The Tiuv Forest

Five strangers walk into a tavern in the port town of Ridgeton. What should be a simple contract — three missing loggers, an anxious uncle, a forest that shouldn't be dangerous — pulls them somewhere older and stranger, into the reach of something buried under the trees and the long shadow it casts across the Tameless Shore.

​

A dwarf wizard with a library's worth of arcane theory and almost no field experience. His warhammer-swinging brother, newly returned from a mercenary company and itching for trouble. A half-elf cleric of the god of peace, searching for a father who sailed south and never returned. A hooded wood elf with a job to offer. And his cousin, who forgets her clothes, her species, and occasionally which forest she's in.

​

They are soon joined by a snow-elf squire from a frozen land wandering alone, searching for a quest to prove his worthiness — but he'll find more than he bargained for.

​

Written by two authors trading perspectives, The Ridgeton Tales is a collaborative serial born from years of tabletop games, set on the continent of Eridan.

About The Authors

Two Voices. One Story. Trading Chapters Across the Continent of Eridan.

Ian Oliver

Co-Author  *  Co-Founder

Ian brings the world-builder's eye to Eridan — the politics of port towns, the weight of ancient forests, and the quiet tragedy of characters who almost make the right call. His chapters follow the characters who think before they swing. Usually.

D.M. Sanders

Co-Author  *  Co-Founder

Derek has loved his time behind the dungeon master's screen, and it shows. He writes the chaos — the bar fights that shouldn't have started, the moments where everything goes beautifully wrong, and the solo novel Aether Inspector, his debut work available now.
