Almund is a thriving township with a dark side. With houses made from the wooden bodies of decommissioned ships, there are many opportunities here, coupled with many dangers.

The main advantage to the totem of the man Master Gray had met as 'Bill', was that it didn't stand out in most ways. Ash-blonde almost brown hair, dark gray eyes, and a face that begged one to forget, it was a good informant's look. Add to it the ability to invoke a shadow cloak , or to drop...
A few days past, Lobo Cinzento set out from Egilrun to check on his state of affairs at Almund. He wondered if Balthazar had made good use of and secured the Bones, or if he'd let it fall by the wayside, never checking his mail. Perhaps Lobo had been foolhardy entrusting it to another, even if that...

Time was passing more quickly than Balthazar liked. Trials seemed to only last half as many breaks and the work he could complete within that time was equally hindered. Maybe it wasn't time. Maybe it was just him. How many times in a trial did he get lost in thought or find himself...
She stood before the haggard crone adorned in her black robe and the only thought that had come to pass was how something so weak and frail could talk about power. The notion was profane, but so to was Sephira and after that encounter with the element soldier so many cycles ago it...
It was still the same old den of sin, the laughter and drowning noise with the smell of bug berry capriciously wafting about all corners of the fabled buckle and chain tavern. Dice were rolling, alcohol flowing, tables with card games where the poor wagered everything they had at a chance to get...

The catacombs beneath Almund wound their way through the oldest city of Scalvoris. Stretching the entire span, from the sewer drains...
This plot takes on the random encounter from the Rebirth 724 State Of Play : Darius gets a stalker. She's tall, she's blonde, she's pretty. She sends him love notes and cakes etc. The plot was begun in this thread. THIS POST IS INCOMPLETE AND WILL BE AMENDED IN DUE...
The imperial princess had learned that the world forgets and moves on.
There was something on this island that she was forced to withdraw from so long ago, something she believed her birthright lay beyond the city limits and what she sought dwelled deep within the wilderness...
Port Diablo... And Rakvald thought the Decked Halls had its share of rough-around-the-edges characters. Here, everyone seemed to have a chip on their shoulder and an axe to grind with every newcomer. But people for the most part left the scary-looking chimera wandering the streets alone, his...
The Bones is currently under the effects of the Exalted Power of Sombran, Neutral Ground. Meaning anyone who attempts violence will be supernaturally ejected. .

Scary? Are you really frightened by a little girl from Gunvorton? Woe's brows were raised almost to his hairline as he interrogated his song, Iago. He'd taken on the lad since he finished his primary education as a errand boy. It allowed him to make some money of his own, or start, in a way that...

Still stationed in an alleyway several blocks from the Decked Halls, Kotton was in the presence of a man named Stanz who was knowledgeable enough about unarmed combat. Kotton’s pocket felt immensely light after having begun his evening, but it was all in good faith. He was...

Kotton had meant Stanz only a few days ago, but was already on the edge of his seat wanting more. The man outside the Decked Halls had offered his services on teaching Kotton how to fight only if he received some form of compensation in return. The young man, having been...

His mind was dead set on vengeance. Revenge filled the capsule that contained his emotions to the very brim. He was enraged, yet completely at peace, if that made any sense what with being a paradox. He knew what he needed to do and had planned everything out. The man was...
Very much a victim of careful what you wish for , Vega had gone to speak to Kura and had told her just exactly what Vega thought of how the Scalvoris government - or more precisely, Kura - was handling this situation. Vega, being who she was, had opinions...
He deserves to know, Squeak said with a huff of disapproval. The runt might have struggled to even look up at the tallest members of the pack, yet his innocence and naivety was beginning to put him at odds with more senior packmates - speaking as a voice...
Woe startled on the lounger that he slept in, in the entertaining area of their Almund domicile. This was where for cycles, he’d sequestered Lacrima, and more recently their daughter. There, they carried on the work of The Bones, a fortune-telling business on the corner of the harbor district, and...

The brick walls felt oddly irregular, rougher than the last time Kotton had run his fingertips along their surface. The coarseness, however, was still invigorating to the touch. It reminded him that he was alive. It contributed to the reassurance that he could still feel and...
Woe entered the Council House, and needing no introduction to the receiving clerks who gated meetings with Kura and other councilors in residence, was nevertheless told that he could wait to see if the Albarech had time to see him.
He had several articles of interest to share with the leader of...

Part of Balthazar felt anxious about the distance he was going to bridge and test he was going to run. The rest of him remembered that it was the second trial of the season and he lived above a city of explosive juice. He had only waited as long as he had so that he had prepared...

Sometimes Balthazar wished that his magic journal was wrong. This was one of those times despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The tunnels existed. The stockpiles of weapons and poisons existed. What other fresh horrors would they find down in the dark beneath the streets...
It was late into the night on the first trial of the season and a duo clad in dark attire moved quickly across Almund carrying only necessary instruments within the black bags they wore across their backs. They had waited a little longer than the mage was comfortable with because...

Lyanna was getting a little further ahead of Balthazar on the trip back to their headquarters. He was moving carefully because he didn't want the explosive he was carrying to go off and she was moving quickly because she didn't want to be near it. It was volatile. He knew that much...
