13 Ymiden 717

The city within was supposed to be safe or at least, safer than the other side of the wall where F'mos lived. With all the mutants and mages loose in and out of Etzos, the Aukari thought there would be no place we would rather be even if it meant relying on the Black Guard for...

Saun 23, 717
Kyin had been working on some nails, for a new building going up in the Outer Perimeter of the city of Etzos. When he decided with finality to be truly ambitious. Kyin was going to be a good citizen (which is out of character for him), and get a second job. Sighing as he finished up...

717th Arc, 25th Trial of Cylus
Lecia' Farm

The wind howled angrily past as Neronin hunched under his dark robes. The black cloth whipped around him as he surveyed the dark landscape before him. He carried no torch or lantern for his task this day required subtlety. The mass of dark greens,...

1st Trial of Saun, Arc 717
Etzos Bazaar

The raven peered down at the shop from above. It spiraled into a slow descent, carefully riding the wind towards the ground. The black wings wavered slightly in the wind. It made no sound, unlike its counterparts scavenging over the Bazaar. It saw what it...

8 Cylus 717

For this particular project, F'mos had already invested a lot of time. Much of it was on his preparations; to gather and process the materials he needed to work with or at least, to wait for the people he hired to do it for him where he lacked the expertise. An outfitter recommended...

Saun 8, 717
Sighing Kyin dragged himself out of bed, It seems to be another day of bull shit, until he has an idea. This idea requires him to have access to a smiths forge, that means Kyin needs a job. It is probably for the best, Kyin had been running out of money anyways. He remembered the...

Ymiden 31, Arc 717

A lot had changed since Doran had arrived in Etzos the season before. He no longer had to hide his true intentions and his dislike of the Immortal of Hope and those that served him. In Rynmere they would likely have arrested him immediately and executed him, but here they...

11th of Saun, 717
Sharpened nails, clawlike in their hardened beauty, dug into the slabs of dried meat, tearing each piece into thin lines. Navyri’s blue eyes danced upon the crowd, chewing a salted strip with careful consideration. Each person her...

3rd Trial of Saun, 717 Arc
Noth’s Cavern, Neronin’s Lab

Neronin ignored the hungry moans of the Maimers chained to the far wall. He kept the gaunt creatures there when he meant his mind to focus on other things. The cave held that dank smell of old water and the slight rank of the undead. Though...

The previous trial...
11th of Ashan, 717
10th Break

Everything was in place, and today was the trial.

Paplo, hiding in an alley, made the last arrangements. Closing his eyes, he’d focus on his looming hunger, which always crept around his mind – usually being the only thing he really felt....

Ymiden 23, Arc 717

Having a little helper, the Mortalborn had realized, was great when it came to cleaning equipment, but it was definitely not conductive to more complicated alchemical research. The arrival of one Finn O’Connor, a cheeky little thief that had broken into his laboratory and that...

14th Trial of Saun, Arc 717
Etzori Museum of Art and History, Underground Vaults

“Are you sure you are well, Nero?” Tabard said as he collected the small wooden box from the vault. The vault, vault forty-five, housed ancient weapons whose powers not even Tabard was sure of, or so he claimed....

Saun 21, 717

There was a strange semblance of order that had integrated itself in the heart of the hybrid throughout his time upon Idalos, and though he had long since abandoned any pretense of following the law, he still attempted to hold to an internal code of conduct. This was not entirely due...

Finn O'Connor :: 3rd Ashan, 717

Nightfall was close by the time that Finn stumbled upon the cave. He had not meant to find it, but he had wandered as usual, and this time, he had wandered too far. The city was still visible in the distance, even as the impending night draped the horizon with...

Date: 24 Ashan 717

Several breaks had come and gone since Mara had been able to leave work. And still, she waited. The shadows crept longer, their spindly fingers reaching out as if to swallow any last vestiges of light that remained in the workshop. The Gardener's Grace was not, by any means, a...

Finn O'Connor :: 10th Ashan, 715 - Etzos Archery Range, Noon.
It was just past noon by the time Finn arrived at the Etzos archery range. He’d expected it to be more busy around that time, but aside from a handful of citizens and Black Guard practicing their skills, the range was largely empty....

57th Trial of Ashan, 717 Arc
Noth's Cavern

Neronin arrayed the faintly glowing gemstones, the wells, across the newly repaired tabletop in Noth's cavern. The Mongrel had kindly carted down three bodies for Neronin's use. He was still recovering from the confrontation with...

17th Trial of Saun, Arc 717
Etzos, Noth’s Cavern

Neronin stood up straight, feeling his back crack satisfyingly as he did so. He tilted his head left and then right, hearing more satisfying cracks. He had spent the better part of the last break bent over the corpse laying on the wooden table in...

Ymiden 79th, 717

Nightshade stared down the letter clutched in her hands. The fat envelope that held the final words her father had addressed to her was terrifying in all honesty, and she couldn't begin herself to think of why. Her knuckles were starting to turn white, but that was beside the...

Ashan 7, 717

Scum were plentiful. For many Arcs there had been those who had taken part in vicious raids against their foes, stealing their treasures, and murdering their families in order to suit some need to serve their country. Others had decided that they would rather take the goods without...

58th Trial of Ashan, Arc 717
Etzos

Neronin had been exhausted from the events of the past few days. He held spent wholly too much time down at Noth’s cave, or gallivanting around the outskirts of the city hunting Gavrel with Kovic. Neronin hadn’t seen hide nor hair of...

Saun 17, 717

Saun was an unbearable season. The atrocious heat which embodied the majority of the season threatened to wrap about every aspect of life. Simply stepping into the sight of the two great suns looming overhead was enough to make someone begin to perspire, even if they were only under...

19th Trial of Saun, 717 Arc
Farmlands outside of Etzos

They had grown in power. He and Noth and their small faction they called Al’Angyryl. They had become a more secure entity and recovered slightly since the near disaster that was their attempt to rescue the Don. Neronin hadn’t brought out his...

30th of Ashan, 717th Arc
Etzos, streets

The pain was an incessant plague on his mind. The Etzori mage liked to think of himself as disciplined, but this wilted his otherwise strong resolve not to show suffering. Neronin winced and groaned as he tenderly touched the stop in his leg that had been...
