Catalina 'Raynarde' DeFoe was sitting, looking at the other 'patrons' in Mad O'Rourkes, Almund. She had in front of her a mug of ale and she lounged back in her chair, watching. The young Biqaj lifted one leg, clad in thigh-high black...

Saun 33, Arc 716, 3rd Break

The light was weak but present, this far into Saun there was no night to be had. Almund lay as quiet as it got, which all thing considered was not very. The occasional yell, be it of pain, anger, high spirits or any other emotion still split the air. Songs were sung as...

19 Ymiden 721

Life on Faldrass had not been what Balthazar expected in any way. Leading a settlement was a challenge on its own, but it was even harder when you were what some would classify as a 'convicted criminal.' He hadn't been himself when he was being watched. That was what he told...

Almund was....... unique. The topic of whether it is a good or bad place is heavily debatable. On the one hand, it could be argued that the city was a product of the creativity of its inhabitants. A canvas on which the many citizens of the city express themselves and show a part of their culture to...

Arc 721, Vhalar 85

Twilight - the time of trial when the sun was below the horizon, illuminating the world with soft candlelight, allowing the harshness of reality to fade for a time, and occasionally revealing truths hidden by the light. Natalia enjoyed...

2nd of Zi'Da 721

Spider, a neighbor, catches the flies that try to take my seeds. Will you take me, so that I may spread my progeny?

The rhododendron blossom beseeched the man who used the Soul-Forged speech to communicate with it. The little pink flower was...

Kura hummed slightly to herself as she walked through Almund. The current Albarech was dressed simply, in most of the outfit she had worn to Saoire's Feast. Rather than her usual totally black ensemble,...

1st of Zi'da 721

It'd been some time since Woe went on an honest-to-goodness job interview. Setting aside his campaigns for various political offices around the world, or being press-ganged into militaries, the last time he'd sat down and answered questions for a potential employer must...

Balthazar stood with his legs about shoulder distance apart and his hands with palms open and facing the floor. To his left Osmond and three land troopers who'd been pulled...

Wealth Skill - Investigation

What do you make of it? Osmond the veteran Flame Trooper asked Balthazar as he knelt down beside the ledge where a collection of candles had...

25 Vhalar 721

Balthazar had not and could not forget that there was a killer on the loose in Scalvoris. He hadn't been given any assignments that he thought lined up with the rupturing mage's modus operandi but he knew that the killer was still out there... or at the very least he had not been...

Vhalar 13, Arc 721

The Buckle and Chain wasn’t the best tavern in Almund, but it was far from the worst. Natalia made a habit of stopping through most of them, listening for enticing bits and pieces of information that she could use to her advantage in one way or another. Most of the time, she...

Arc 721, 15 Vhalar

“Grayson? Where’s Ares?” Striding back up to the clearing where she had left her cousin and her dragonling, Natalia’s eyes scoured the area briefly, looking for the creature while waiting for her companion to answer.

They had both been there when she set off into the wood...

So what exactly was it you said you did again, Mr Revel?

Cad smirked at the clerk sat across the desk. His secret plan for world domination was going to require a steady stream of money, and in order to get...

Natalia had a problem. 'Problem' was a bit dramatic, and it was more of a situation or issue than a problem, but one that would take grit, determination, and focus to solve. The young woman was unsure if she was up to the task, but someone had to do...

/gallery/image/21913/medium Arc 721, 12 Vhalar

It was a topic Grayson was wary of bringing up to his young cousin, but there were things that needed to be said and choices that Natalia would have to face on her own - sooner rather than later. He didn’t envy her, but then again, he had made the...

/gallery/image/21913/medium Arc 721, 10 Vhalar

It was an overcast Vhalar trial, which happened to be a perfect reflection of the mortalborn’s mood. Unsure exactly why she was so vexed, Natalia simply went about her business in Almund. There were taverns to frequent and things to learn, and...

/gallery/image/20607/medium Vhalar 5, Arc 721

It had taken them a few trials but then again, Natalia and Grayson hadn’t been in a rush. Besides that, as Natalia found out quickly enough, her cousin wasn’t very good on a horse, so a slower pace was required.

Every now and then along the way,...

Location: The Siren's Embrace

The process of becoming someone you weren't was an exhausting prospect. Ironically, one had to reconstruct their idiosyncrasies, their tics, and habits. One had to be more familiar with themself than who they were presenting as. Woe had the...

They needed to take advantage of all the sources of information that they had and, as such, Faith had made her way to the docks in Almund. It was not somewhere where, to the casual observer, she seemed at home but that belied a...

43 Ymiden 721

Ymiden dragged on and work never seemed to end for someone as curious as Balthazar was. He wasn't even sure he could argue that what he was doing now was work but there was a mystery to the Witchwood and he wanted to solve it before he had another case that pulled his attention....

45 Ashan 721

Finding Oram hadn't been difficult per se, but it had been a lot of asking around. Yeva, who wasn't quite experienced in hunting down anything, failed to understand how much effort it would be (and for a rumor, no less!), but after spotting his appearance at the Cylus Dusk, she felt...

When the scarfed woman knocked on the back door, a pair of fearful eyes peered out from between two wooden boards that covered one of the windows.

Do not fret, the...

19 Ymiden 721

Balthazar Black, Osmond Bean, and Skal Nij'Ufanj, three Flame Troopers working together, made their way down a dirt road just a little bit beyond Almund where an often overlooked tavern sat. Balthazar had never been to it before because he, like most, thought very little of it. He...
