introduction: Vintreth, as a whole, is the world I have been building for a little over five years. Vintreth, as an anthology, is a series of short excerpts within that world exploring its characters, magic, and lore, mostly following Lev Ramone: our resident human-turned-bird-person with a talking rock in his neck and a shapeshifting dog in his shadow. From false prophets and deep-sea horrors to mad imps and worse humans, it''''s safe to say he''''s not having a great time of it. There is an upside, however; isolated forest gods make great coffee.
