Fiction

Soft Paws, Sharp Deals

Born a soft-hearted postmoogle with big dreams, Mog Mobsta finds himself pulled into the orbit of the Wasthund Family, the most powerful crime syndicate in Vybrand. What starts as a simple favor, quickly spirals into a world of smuggling rings and magical contraband.
  _{by Koopiti Koop}

Waves of Desire

Scaly, smoldering, and rumored to cause shipwrecks with just a glance, Null the Sahagin has plans to terrorize coastal towns and brood dramatically. But when he crosses paths with Captain Jack Marlowe, a dashing pirate with a reputation for mischief, the real danger becomes…mutual attraction. Between stolen glances, accidental brushes of scales on skin, and dangerously close moonlit moments, sparks fly faster than cannon fire. Who knew evil could be this tempting?
  _{by Agatha Blacke}

Tempered

Legendary primal hunter, N'rohrh Tia, has faced horrors most mortals wouldn’t survive, but nothing prepared him for Lilithra, a primal whose power isn’t in claws or fire, but in the mind. One glance, one whispered command, and N'rohrh's resolve begins to fracture, desire creeping in where duty once ruled. Caught between loyalty and temptation, hunter and primal are drawn into a dangerous dance where surrender could cost everything.
  _{by Ulf Turner}

Nonfiction

Introductory Readings for Lambs of the Eighth Star

To follow the Seven is not to choose a side, but to walk the tension between them- each embodying a sacred duality in which balance is the highest truth. Balance is not peace, but the constant adjustment between opposing forces that never fully disappear. It is not a state you reach, but a discipline you maintain. Light does not erase shadow, chaos does not end the possibility of order, life does not halt decay. The Faithful do not seek an end to struggle, but to find understanding within it.
  _{translated from the teachings of Osk Asterius}

Big Smart Book of Whirr-Click Metal Thinkings

Big think-book for iron-things, yes-yes! Many many pages of click-clack math, spin-spin gear-talk, and smartbrain scratchings. Book tell how metal bones move, how boom-box not explode (unless want explode), and how tiny screw do big job. Words all long and crunchy, numbers bite back, but clever goblin love this book muchly. Not for softbrains, only for thinky-thinky engineers and goblins with big plans, yes?

The Power of Emptiness

We’ve been told that more is better- more possessions, more success, more stimulation. But what if all that ‘abundance’ is exactly what’s holding you back? In this bold, transformative guide, Florentel explains why emptiness isn’t something to fear, but rather a powerful space for clarity, creativity, and true freedom.
  _{by Florentel Surlaint}

The Way They Live

When she set out to explore Thavnair, Nefefe expected vibrant cities, sprawling landscapes, and bustling markets. What she didn’t expect was to find a life-changing lesson in the heart of a remote Matanga tribe. Through days spent living among them, listening to their stories, and witnessing their deep connection to the land and each other, she discovered a new way of seeing the world- one that celebrates simplicity, presence, and joy. Their laughter, rituals, and unhurried pace taught her that life is not something to rush through, but something to fully embrace.

ART (Auction 4/30)

LOT 1 (SOLD 90,000)

Shot Paissas

A serial portrait that flattens the subject into bold color fields, embracing mechanical reproduction as both method and message.
  _{(Ink print on canvas, F. Surlaint)}

LOT 3 (SOLD 225,000)

Bold and Brash

A self-portrait in which the figure is reduced to simplified forms, collapsing the divide between sincerity and caricature.
  _{(Acrylic and marker on canvas, F. Surlaint)}

LOT 6 (SOLD 1,500,000)

Visceral Topography No. 3 (SOLD 2,500,000)

A single, deliberate seated impression rendered through direct bodily contact. This work collapses the distance between maker and surface, using the artist’s form as both tool and subject.
  _{(Acrylic on canvas, F. Surlaint)}

LOT 2 (SOLD 1,000,000)

Divinity is a Circle; It Chews but Does Not Consume

Intense magnification and worship of life, death and spirituality. The cohering of ideas within a womb whose unborn kin's function is in breaking things apart.
  _{(Oil on canvas, D. Stillforest)}

LOT 4 (SOLD 3,000,000)

"A lot"

N/A
  _{(Oil on on canvas, anonymous submission)}

LOT 5 (SOLD 555,000)

Spectral Current

Spectral Current unfolds across a twilight sea rendered in moody indigos and bruised violets, where two ships drift toward one another as if summoned by something older than wind.
  _{(Oil on on canvas, H. Thunder)}

LOT 7 (SOLD 500,000)

Traces of Another Life (Figure Study)

A restless accumulation of lines coalesces into a portrait more discovered than drawn. The figure emerges through agitation, suggesting that identity is not fixed, but rather persistently negotiated within chaos.
  _{(Acrylic and marker on on canvas, F. Surlaint)}

Owner & Management

Florentel Surlaint

The self-appointed main attraction, having opened the café as a carefully curated stage for his own art, writing, and opinions, though he occasionally encourages others to participate.

       Favorite book: Tempered

Custodian

Kiwi

A strange looking spriggan that absolutely loves to clean. Gifted to Florentel by an old friend in Kugane.

Barista & Literary Associate

Noxx Nymphloret

Broody and perpetually overworked, they can still pull a perfect espresso while silently judging your life choices. Don’t expect small talk- expect biting commentary, questionable literary references, and a grudging willingness to discuss your favorite novel... if they find it interesting.

       Favorite book: The Dawn Trilogy

Literary & Arts Associate

Dantisdon Stillforest

With a taste in art and literature that veers wildly off the beaten path, they delight in diving deep into strange novels, experimental works, and surrealist paintings, such as Rhalgr eating his son by Goyaya Goya. Conversation is guaranteed, but your conversational comfort is not.
