Book 25: Summer in Orcus. Originally published as an online serial in 2016, back when we thought that was the worst year ever. Probably my personal favorite of Ursula’s books. Young Summer journeys to the land of Orcus in search of her Heart’s Desire. An absolute jewel of a book

*Yes, there is a pretty metal etymology to “orca” having to do with “Orcus,” the Roman/Etruscan god of the underworld. But this etymology is disputed in a way that makes it decidedly less metal

I’m looking at running a 4e campaign, going back to the good old days, likely adapting the big 9 part Orcus storyline, removing a lot of unnecessary stuff, like reducing the size of the Keep on the Shadowfell to not be such a slog.
