Hello, I am Alexandre D. Murray, better known in the online community as Sarkahn - a newer author of short fantasy.
This website is about to undergo a massive overhaul. Until then, feel free to browse my wares and enjoy what I have to offer, between blog articles and fantasy tales.
Introduction
Hello and welcome! This vault of mine is a platform I made that houses my hidden passions for writing, world building, and traditional art. It also shines a light on those who have helped me along the way in my writing journey as a new short fantasy author.
If you have seen this website before, it went through a massive overhaul. I realized that it had a little too much of everything, and therefore wasn't concentrated in a way I would have liked. I do hope that now, anyone entering my vault will not be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the site and more easily navigate through my wares.
"Having too many options is the same as having none."

I also post weekly articles on my Medium page on a variety of topics.
Please look forward for more to enter the vault because I am always adding something new! My author page can be found here. Enjoy.

About Me
Sarkahn is a newly published author with a passion for fantasy. Arcane Thief is their debut novelette, published at the end of 2022. Born and raised in the U.S, Sarkahn developed a love of fantasy at a young age.
After completing their studies, they continued to write in their spare time. Arcane Thief is the culmination of stories created within the realm of Sitrah. A world built from the ground up by Sarkahn and partially played through in Dungeons and Dragons as a Game Master.
It tells the story of a young boy who, in his haste and pain, chose to chase after revenge. Since its release, the book has received positive reviews.
In their free time, Sarkahn enjoys world building, computer gaming, and reading about new technologies. They currently live abroad anonymously with their family.
As a new author, Sarkahn is excited to continue writing and exploring their passion for fantasy. Fans of short fiction are sure to enjoy Arcane Thief and should keep and eye out for their short stories presented on their website at Sarkahnsvault.com and future works.
Please look forward to their heavily anticipated next book "Equivalent Exchange", due to release in July 2023!

As a Game Master, my starting point was learning how to world build using the Dungeon Master Guide!
This was my starting point into writing, world building and learning how to be an effective Game Master! If I could do it all over again, I would do the same thing without hesitation.
I want as many people to enjoy the worlds they create for games, books and everything in between so I will do my best to publish some articles about what I did multiple times a week. A difficult task but one I plan to accomplish.
