Content Warnings + Perspectives

Content warnings will contain SPOILERS. Every effort has been made to be vague about the specifics. However, do not click below if you wish to remain spoiler free. Tales from Efre Ousel was written for an adult audience, but the author defers to a reader’s personal sensibilities on what is appropriate for them. The material may be unflinching and brutal at times, but great care was taken to not be gratuitous.

Torture and rape/sexual assault will never appear in Tales from Efre Ousel.
