About Grizelda

I forgot to mention what Grizelda is about. Here's the "pitch" text:

The monarchs of Corvain had long employed local sorcerers and sorceresses to help keep their people down. When the people revolted and set up a republic, they thought their problems were over. But now, eleven years later, the leaders of the Republic of Corvain are proving just as bad as the old monarchs. They’re rounding up anybody who might challenge them – including anybody with a hint of magical power. When Grizelda, a young seamstress, finds herself their target, she fears she is done for.

In prison she meets a group of rat-riding pixies and earns their undying friendship by mending their clothes. In exchange, they help her to escape and seek refuge in the world below the capitol city. Living underground means Grizelda has to adapt to the strange customs of the goblins, a cheerless bunch who storm around muttering about the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Not content to remain in exile, Grizelda becomes involved with a group of human revolutionaries. Their goal is to return the Republic to its original ideals, before it decayed. To that end they hatch a daring plan: to free all the government’s political prisoners. If their plan is going to work, Grizelda will have to get Communist goblins, irresponsible pixies, and revolutionaries still deeply mistrustful of magic to work together.
