Tales of the Traveler's Chosen

by OcXenon

Everyone knows about the guardians of Earth. They are defenders of humanity, the Traveler's chosen. But what happens behind the scenes when not on the front lines? What is the daily life of a guardian? A collection of loosely related short stories and one-shots that vary in tone and length.

Striders: Defenders of Neptune

Journey back to the Golden Days of Neomuna and step into the augmented shoes of the legendary super soldiers: our beloved Cloud Striders.

Create and customize your own Strider with a plethora of armor, augmentations, and weaponry using the innovative loot system in a player versus environment setting.

Join thousands of other online players and explore the game's massive open world. From the sprawling cityscape of Neomuna to the vast oceans of Neptune and defend the city residents from the mysterious Vex.

Up for a challenge? Dive into the game's Onslaught Lair. Navigate the various mind-bending puzzles as you face stronger enemies and bigger bosses. Should you brave the Lair, be rewarded with top tier augmentations and weaponry.

Break from the adventure and test your skills against other players in the Strider's Enclave. With a plethora of different game modes, earn rewards exclusive to only the top Cloud Striders.

The game has been out for a week and players have already left countless reviews, including some off world visitors:

Vendrick-5 writes: Why are hoverboards an augmentation ability instead of a transportation mechanic?

Flux-13 writes: Color palettes are paywalled. Why is a basic cosmetic feature paywalled?

Sierra writes: Nucleon pulse cannons are broken in the Enclave. Plz nerf.

The Crow writes: People need to learn the mechanics in the Onslaught Lair. You can't always be on ad clear because you're lazy.

Empress Caiatl writes: I do not know what an LFG is, but asking for playtime that exceeds the time the game has been out is nonsensical.

Osiris writes: In all my years of living, I must say that the Trials of Maelstrom is one of the most hateful places I've ever experienced.

Author's Note: I was going through my backlog and came across this. I actually wrote this shortly after the release of Lightfall and forgot to post it. I'm currently working on a couple chapters that are linked to the Final Shape so stay tuned for those. As for this, I suppose it's to fill in that time between chapters, I guess. Hope you all have been enjoying TFS as much as I have! ~ Xenon
