Dungeons & Dragons Podcast, Author Reading 2

Wizards of the Coast has released a second "author reading" podcast, this time with Forgotten Realms author Bruce Cordell reading a passage from his Plague of Spells novel. The excerpt and artwork look like they might be somewhat inspired by Planescape: Torment:
The horizon was on fire.

Raidon Kane emerges from the Spellplague with a sapphire tattoo burned into his flesh, strange supernatural powers, and eleven missing years.

The world had ended. How could he forget that?

His daughter is dead. His home has been destroyed. His life is empty save for one thing.

Everything faded to blue, then to nothing.

Revenge.
