Mortusbard

I'm MortusBard — a former paratrooper turned poet, writing in the compressed bardic tradition: short lines, plain words, and the weight left in the silence between them. Witness poems. Laments. Highland mists and the battles that outlive us.

Every reading here is my own voice and my own words, set to painted landscapes and quiet music so you can follow along.

New readings regularly. Full poems, essays on craft, and the stories behind them on Substack.

From the same pen: Ronach Reach — a folk-horror fantasy setting with 5e adventures, creatures and lore, on DriveThruRPG.

Mind the gate. Tend the cairn. Tomorrow comes.
