In tonight’s literary RPG-inspired sleep story, you are the master of a small, but well-appointed adventurers’ guild in the port city of Sleeper’s Wharf. You oversee the management of quests and employment of adventurers – but you have also created a welcoming community for would-be campaigners and parties at all levels to advance their skills, practice cooperation, and pay it forward. Being a retired adventurer yourself, you strive to make the guild into the resource you wish you’d had when starting out. But tonight, a quest arises that’s so intriguing it might even tempt you out of retirement.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a meditation for rest and connection.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH 100 ORIGINAL STORIES!

Music & Sound: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, May You Have by Bonnie Grace, Binaural Overlay by Joseph Beg, Via Epidemic Sound

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Follow along with my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep.

All stories are written and read by me, Laurel Hostak Jones… never by AI.

Stories like mine are best with headphones! For comfort and security when drifting off to sleep, SleepPhones are the best thing I've found. They won't fall out like earbuds, and they're not bulky or uncomfortable like most over-ear headphones.
