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.

He could still see them.
Of course, he had always been able to see them. Ever since he had taken his first life, he had had dreams and visions of those faces at night whenever he lay down to sleep. He had been wracked with guilt and...

Teaching was a prospect the half-breed was rather unfamiliar with. She'd never actually taught anyone else before. So it was a fair bit uncomfortable when she realized that being back in The Roost meant that she was going to have to start...

The half-breed could feel the winds messing with her hair as she looked towards the sky, her expression vexed. With a heavy sigh, she shook her head. Saun was never one of her favorite seasons. In fact, she very well despised the way the...
There was nothing fair or chivalrous about it, and that was sort of the point, really. It was just a matter of perspective. To a noble warrior from Rharne or the Eternal Empire, where even those...
The arrow whistled through the air, its shriek not altogether indifferent from the howl of a predator before it pounces upon an unsuspecting prey, a primitive warning indicative of a bloody and violent affair. After merely half of a trill, the haunting...

When the half-breed had offered the other trial to help Noth build up someone more strength, since she needed to build up more anyways, she was glad that she'd decided to tell him late afternoon instead of early morning. The half-breed...
From the Dust Quarter to the Fool's Run, from the Barracks of the City Guard of Rharne to the Four Gates of Yaralon, men remembered him. They spoke of his skill, and those that had tried to kill him and...
After getting some well deserved rest Lowell and Valecia checked out of the inn, as Lowell was stretching his sore leg from yesterday's incident Valecia tapped him on the shoulder we need to restock on our supplies, especially since those gorbs won't move without...
“Where were you?!” the scowling man yelled, head not unlike a bright tomato, albeit a rather angry one. He was a pudgy man with at least three chins, wearing fine and expensive robes. A merchant of sorts, if the Mortalborn had to guess. The man was stamping his foot and...

1st of Saun, 718
That's the one Ryder muttered to the three bandits beside him, all of which close to the roadside. They were hidden, to some degree, though the cloak of night was enough to cover them as much as it could. His scouts had picked up...
He kept them in small groups, for he didn't want to burn his muscles out too fast. He knew that he could push himself and manage groups of a dozen or more, for most of a break, with pauses for breath and water in between....

21st Trial, Ymiden, Arc 718
South Etzos
8th break
He didn't get many days when he could pretend he was someone else. He wasn't one to entertain such a notion, anyway. He'd long since come to terms with what he did, what he was, the damage he'd...
To say that business was booming would simultaneously be both an overstatement and an understatement. It was true that Diamond in the Rough had proven to be a particularly worthwhile investment, and the hybrid had appreciated the...

The dark haired woman that traversed the town was inexplicably bored. There was apparently much to see, but nothing that she quite liked. Fine clothing and objects, stalls of food and vendors of trinkets; nothing seemed to appease her. Not with the soft rumble of her stomach and the...
49th Ymiden, 718 With a small sigh in to the evening air, Ryder glanced aside at the men and women lined up. It wasn't often he resorted to a brothel, but the last few nights had been fairly dull and the man had nothing to do with his time. Training was done in the day, leaving near to nothing for...

The constant clitter and clack of talons accompanied the twilight hybrid as he maneuvered himself through the passageways of the cavern. He passed by a great deal of activity as he continued onwards towards his destination. There were a group of soldiers lowly in rank playing cards...
The stubby man stared up at Wismal. The neverchanging look of a wet pekingese mutt on his face revealed that he hadn't 'quite' understood what his friend was trying to say. Closing his eyes and gripping the bridge of his nose with both fingers, Wismal tried to...
Being a Tunawa in any city but Desnind was something of a curse and a blessing. Their tiny size made for good spying but that same size paid them no favors in a city filled with people who never looked at the dirt they scuffed across. If Ohua had been able to speak she would...
If Kasoria had his doubts before about the necessity of his task before, they vanished once he heard those words. Not just the panicked tone that spoke of a natural coward, which was bad...
Adruria stood at the edge of what was called The Citizens Market watching the foot traffic. She had wandered here from the Commercial District, where she had looked over some loose gemstones at some of the stalls. Most were of normal quality and all were common stones....

Her nails tapped against her thigh repeatedly as she huffed quietly to herself, trying to force air into her lungs. If she didn’t actively try to remind herself to breathe she might end up forgetting. It tended to happen when she got...
79th of Ymiden 718
At the edge of town, where the crowd dies down almost completely and people seem only to care about where they are headed, a noise can be heard, almost echoing along the road. Just a bit further away from town, a mid-sized bird of prey can be seen, picking at something on the...
Ryder pondered the thought as he walked slowly down the road, head low and weapons at his side. It had been a few days since the horrific torture he had endured, and the man was yet to find a way to cover his...
