Etzos, ‘The City of Stones’ is a fortress against the encroachment of Immortal domination of Idalos. Founded on the backs of mortals driven to seek their own destiny independent of the Immortals, the city has carved itself out of the very rock of the land. Scourged by terrible wars of extermination, they've begun to grow again, and with an eye toward expansion, optimism is on the rise.

The first, and currently the only, locale on the western continent for winged delivery services. Founded by the noted half-avriel hero, Nightshade Eld, these services extend throughout the greater Etzos area and beyond. There are two half-avriel employees that PCs will be...

Early Morning
The orphan girl's head exploded with pain a split trill before her body struck the ground. The air whooshed from her lungs when her back struck the cold earth, eyes turning wide when she realized the difficulty of the following...

It was known among most of the longer-termed staff members at Etzos' Prime Sanitarium that the Head of Surgery, Dr. Aderell, liked to toss new hire into chaotic medical crisis scenarios and see how they handled themselves. Did...
A shiver raced up Felicia's spine as the chill of evening began to wash away the little warmth the day had brought with it. It was nearing twilight, and the shadows danced and played among the lanterns and torches that were now beginning to flare to life all around her....

Etzos
Neronin rarely felt his stomach protest its lack of sustenance, but he felt this trial. He had spent nearly four days without food, searching for the damnable hunters who had made him their sport. It was rarely an issue anymore. He...
He could have crushed the doorman's throat with his first punch and burst his liver like a rotten fruit with his second. The couple after that would have been nastier.
But he didn't. He paid the extra coin and they both knew...
33rd Trial, Vhalar, 718a
The Commercial Circle
15th break
It was the same door, in the same house, on the same street, yet nothing was like before. Knowledge was like that. It didn't just squat in your brain for when you needed it; it changed the world around you. It colored and distorted...
Iashiri entered through the front door of the Gardener’s Grace with a smile on her face, hoping for another great day of working. This was her favourite season and she was in a very good mood for work today. Nothing could ruin her mood… As usual,...
Kasoria had to die. He had to die, and it was Kasoria who decided this.
In the darkness of the night or trial they left him in (it was all the same in the Underground), the chained man had decided it was the only logical...

Outside of Etzos
Neronin gestured with his hand, though the mental projection was what really commanded Yoriq. Neronin still maintained a semblance of mundane control to trick himself into believing Yoriq was something of an ally rather than a...

The Museum Vaults
Neronin let his gaze flicker up from the tome he was struggling through to glance at the door of the vault. His chest remained still, his body slightly hunched over the book. The only movement in the vault for a long time...

Etzori poor districts
The darkness was all consuming now at this point in Cylus. Neronin was thankful. He was well into his mutated, warped state from the reckless growth of his sparks. It was nice to be able to put his hood up and walk...

Outside of Etzos
Neronin made his way along the dark southern road towards the old smith’s home. He was flanked by two Al’Angyryl fighters called Hoth and Mert. Hoth was tall and lanky. He carried a pair of dangerous looking daggers at his...
The half-breed watched serpentine fingers carefully sort through jars that the half-breed herself had no clue to the contents of. The half-breed would have jumped at the chance to help if she hadn’t already been order to sit out of the way. “Night-” the woman began as though to...
Nightshade adored Etzos. The city was very important to her, and even if she hadn’t always lived in Etzos proper she’d always lived in at least one portion of Etzos. As a young child it was Westguard and the surrounding areas. When she got older it was jumping between different...

Workers. The one thought that had more or less been constant to her mind within the recent season. That was one of the hardest and most important parts. The problem was she needed good hard workers, but a variety of workers as well....
2 Cylus 719
continuing from here The house she was lead to was not what she was expecting. The woman hadn't been wearing rags, but her clothes hadn't been high class either. Maybe she had gotten used to the general decrepit nature of the place. A scowl settled over her lips as she followed after...
Kazimir thought about what had led him to Etzos as he wandered around the city. He’d slowly been dealing with his grief over the loss of his family and trying to adapt to life without them. It hadn’t been easy, and there were many nights in which he had cried himself to sleep, but over time, those...

She could eat it. It was a thought. She could very well eat the fingers disposed on the ground like a trail leading to a prize. But at te end of the line was hideous screaming and pleading and she wasn't much in the mood to deal with those kinds of...

Perhaps she was acting foolishly at the moment, but there was a method in the madness that the half-breed was about to indulge. So far things were progressing smoothly for her business as she was slowly getting everything prepared and...
No one person knew everything about a subject. A person could spend their entire lives, filling every waking moment with the scholarly pursuits of research and study, or with the back-breaking labor that went into a procedure, and yet never know every piece of minutia that made it...
When she first opened up The Roost, Alexander had informed her that she was absolutely without a doubt one trial going to come to work and hate it. She hadn't believed him at first. She didn't mind children or teaching, and spreading knowledge was something important to her. While...
The sound of steel slamming against steel rang out rather loudly. The half-breed moved to the side easily, her movement graceful and practiced compared to the wild swing that went for her. It wasn't like she feared getting hit, these weapons were dulled practice pieces, but it was...
The bar smelled like sweet smoke and fruity liquor as Jame’s face planted on it’s hardwood surface. In truth he wasn’t asleep, but may as well have been. He’d heard very few rumors or leads to follow-up on yet. Only the meager doings of alleyway janitors and...
It had been a considerable while since the half-breed had started better training to become stronger. The thing that had really shocked her was that the training Icarus had put her on was actually doing something. The results weren’t immediately substantial, not by any means. It...
