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.

Vhalar 14 717, 14th Bell
Location: The Commercial Circle
Toan's trial had progressed rather smoothly as he'd managed to avoid going home so far, he would've rather avoided an awakened and grumpy father after all. It had been a rather cool trial in Etzos as the sun rose and only slightly warmed in...
That charlatan was not going to get the best of F'mos even if everyone else in Etzos had already been fooled by that irritable sthick; if the aukari had to hear yet another insufferable 'did I forgot to mention...' one more time, someone was going to get hurt even if it would not be...
Work never faltered, nor even slowed in its resolve. The hybrid had grown accustomed to that particular notion after having returned from his journey from Rharne, and he found that it remained true even now. He had been gone from his...
Even the wind seemed hot, intent on scorching her skin to the best of its abilities. The half avriel who was naturally fair didn't really appreciate Saun. If she was being honest with herself, when it came to weather her favorite seasons were doubtlessly Ashan and Zi'da. Which was...
Zipper wasn’t religious. Actually few in Etzos were, of course, but if there was a moment that came anywhere close to some kind of divine revelation from Emea below, it would be this: her in a dingy room in a guard post of the city of diamonds and stones with two of the most coveted...
It was starting to get hot. The rather rapidly increasing temperature had forced the twilight hybrid to reside more within his home than in the outlying forest, and he became incredibly comforted by the fact that the underground dwelling...
If you asked Zipper what animal she would pick to represent the sum total of the civil, military, and guild-related operational functions that made up the bureaucratic framework of Etzos, she would have unhesitatingly said a snail.
Her reasons were surprisingly not all completely...
She saw herself rise from the rags that served as orphanage bed and blanket, turned like a stringed puppet towards the open door that led out to the pitch-black hallway, and shuffled her way towards the dark. She couldn’t see her eyes and...
A being wandered through the woods with an airy step, her feet almost didn't seem to touch the ground. They made no sound and barely made a print so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was walking on air. The creature had a large bundle of papers under her arm as she quietly...
Night practically had to drag herself down the street. She was shivering violently as her feet crunched against a thick layer of snow. Even with all the lights in the city burning she couldn't really see all that well. The darkness was nearly as thick as the blanket of snow which...
Nightshade wandered the streets humming to herself quietly. It was peaceful it was a better day out than it had been for a while. The last couple of days has mostly been spent either inside her tent hiding from a bad spurt of weather. It hadn't been very nice for going outside....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=10198 13th Trial of Cylus, Arc 710
Etzos Outer City
The boy stood against the wall with a hardly concealed look disgust as he watched a group of other street children. He chewed on a piece of knotted and dried jerky as his pale eyes looked malevolently out...
Oberan took a moment to adjust his eyes to the darkness. Though he wasn’t a Naer and thus couldn’t see in the dark as if it was light, he could at least adapt a little bit, allowing him to see vague outlines of objects and such. It wasn’t a perfect...
The best way to describe the air was thick. There was no possible word the half-breed could have used in its stead, all things considered. It had been extremely cold that morning, cold enough that frost and ice lingered in the air in the late afternoon, leaving a deep white fog...
Her breath plumed outward in a cloud of ice as the chill of Zi'da reached down to creep along the inside of her throat. The woman didn't even shiver as the sensation almost burned on the way down. The frozen menace that was the cold season did little to bother her anymore. She...
74th Trial of Vhalar, Arc 717
Cool wind slid up over the railings of the rocky ship and slithered across the washed deck like invisible serpents, aiming to wrap around a sea weathered man and tousle his blonde locks as if a mother was teasing her child. Blue eyes turned to stare at the wide...
The mutant boy's confusion and distress was understandable. It was not the persecution because he was different, such an experience is too common in Etzos to make anyone special because of it; nor was it because of the way he had nearly been exploited in the auction because of those...
What a fortuitous trial it would have been for Nightshade and her partner in crime, Gangui. They would have yet another volunteer suckered into assisting them with their treasure hunt for whatever misguided goal they had planned for it. Would have was the key term if F'mos could find...
Inali had spent a large portion of the past trial convincing Executive Director Taberell that her Linguistics 101 course could be condensed into a six break class. While he had initially...
It was seldom that the hybrid would even consider the idea of reneging on one of his agreements. It was a personality trait of the Avriel to ensure that his promises to others were kept so that his word would count for something when...
Despite the arrangement with Lizzie over the last season on how Ivory Haze was to be taken care of, the out of character request of F'mos for the anak that trial had the girl concerned. She insisted to go along and would not allow her guardian to have her pet if her request was not...
It was a prize from an Etzos event which was supposed to be fun although, that did not mean a thing after how the event ended. Bad and then worse, although F'mos was not going to admit it was a result he contributed to. While no one was sure of what had happened there were many...
He could see the misery in the every-trial world. Everywhere He looked, He saw the mindless shuffling of the thralls, enslaved to their lives and shackled to the world by excess and desire. Carnal, uncivil creatures bent on fornicating for sport and finding pleasure in the flesh....
