Following V_Translanka's logic that I am obligated to post again, here is the announcement that the sixth chapter is now up. Also, as per his request, here is a synopsis of the plot:
The Vagrant's Tale follows Jysalef Soresh as he wanders about the lands of Corsinthia in a disenfranchised state after participating in a holy war with the lands of Skrande that never quite properly came to a conclusion before ending. Along with him is his ward Terus Kyreon, the orphand son of a fallen comrade of Jysalef's during the war with Skrande. What the two of them don't realize is that they're about to find themselves at the center of some truly dark machinations that could well affect the entire world.
