Synopsis

The Halcyon Call is an inverted isekai fantasy centered around the meticulous and jaded Kobold scout Scaleen Fortuna. They've been stuck doing desk duty as a city guard member for three years when a young Human - who claims to know the future - lands in a prison cell for tresspassing in the Imperial Palace. What the human describes is impossible, but the immediate consequences for Scaleen and their entire race in Sumar Empire are too dire to ignore. Scaleen may not like babysitting a traumatized young outsider, but if the two don’t learn to combine their cynical cultural acumen and extensive, if recreational, fandom knowledge then the world may very well succumb to a mass extinction as has been played out millions of times before.

Can you hear The Halcyon Call? Or was it always a legend told by the powerful to keep the masses chasing its idealized history?

I am planning on posting this on Royal Road and/or Tapas in the future, though this will remain the primary repository.

    Status: chapter 47: sinking feeling

    Very good, one of the best fantasy stories I've ever read on this site, I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the story as it's written.

    Status: chapter 47: sinking feeling

    I absolutely adore kobolds and this is a story about a wonderful loveable kobold who my adoration now extends to specifically.  This story also tackles the concept of "fantasy racism" from the perspective of said wonderful kobold in a very completing and important way making for excellent commentary on racism and oppression as is present in our society, especially how harmful it is the way it gets woven into media so frequently (looking at you Tolkien and Gygax)

    Can't wait to start reading the continuation whenever that pops up❣️
