New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

The warmth and light coming through Exedian's window was dazzling, the sprawl of scarlet hair laid out on a pillow, splotched with rays, added different hues of auburn to the wavy locks that framed the peaceful features of the adolescent girl laid out on a single mattress. It was...

23rd of Ashan, 716
The servant creeped down the long hallway of House Andaris, careful not to drop a tray that held the first meal of the day. She was an old servant who had served the house for a very long time yet had never gotten any recognition...

20th Break
Finally left alone in her Cabin, Elyna had fallen asleep. It had been a long and restless night, followed by a morning that had seen her heart torn from her chest, still beating, and discarded on the docks. It was how she felt...
Somewhere between the 3rd and 4th Break
Worn from a long day and longer night, Elyna had drifted into the realms of Emea; but not for long. Still unaccustomed to Malcolm's presence whilst she slept the Skyrider stirred easily in his arms....
Some food was provided to Knights, Squires and their Skyrider equivalents beside the training grounds, thank goodness Elyna thought, otherwise she would have starved arcs ago. Although, as she and Franz entered the mess hall...
The day had been…memorable. Elyna felt her cheeks burning as she sat on the window ledge. Her legs tucked up and on the cill as she lent against the window, using the last of the daylight as it twisted through the panes. She was part...
They called them butterflies, but if they were butterflies then they had steel-edged wings, Elyna decided. Either way, her stomach was filled with them as she knocked on the now familiar door to Malcolm’s house. Or rather, she rephrased...

It had been a long time since Elyna had slept, curled up beside someone like this. At first, she’d been so tired that she’d fallen into a deep slumber, but then the strangeness of being wrapped up in Malcolms’s arms had bought her back to...

The room was warm, dark and comfortable. Elyna stretched out slowly. The last time she’d slept peacefully had been before…well everything. The last night she’d spent with Yorath, not that she’d had much sleep. With a troubled mind and...

After two days of flying, Elyna was grateful to have some time with Ember. She had been assigned to accompany Captain Ophelia Odean along with her crew of five assorted Knights and Sergeants to Verona on horseback. Their task was simple, to...
Liquor on Your Lips
The liquor on your lips makes you dangerous.
Timestamp: 118th Trial of Ashan, 711 - 1st Break
“Tell me again.” Sabine rolled onto her back and stared up at the midnight sky. The stars swam in her vision, fading in and out like flickering candles. “Tell me again why you...

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
Try me, Benjamin encouraged and took a seat at the table he had helped move into the farmhouse the day before.
Malcolm licked his lips and pushed his hair back out of his eyes. I don't know...

Where did they go? Peter yelled, keen to give chase and stop the horse thieves before they could get too far from the city.
West! Kathryn called. They are headed for Venora!
Stand down! Malcolm ordered his team, bringing his shield up to...
Peake was in shock. He couldn’t train, he couldn’t focus. He couldn’t even wring out all the ideas that flew into his mind, all of them spawning from the rumors the bribed guard told him. Said guard shared them so casually, without...
Tristan sat at a table in his favourite tavern, the Blacksmith Arms, that was actually quite a nice tavern despite the lack of blacksmiths or arms. A glass of fine Venora Red was in his hand, and a copy of the latest edition of the Gazette was in front of him. The newspaper...

Elyna gripped the green skirts tight enough to make the wrinkle, and she stomped, in her boots, all the way up through low-town and most of the way through the midtown during the 9th break of the day. Her hair, loose trailed down her back...
Stood in the middle of the dirt paved streets surrounded by dozens of villagers, Vakhanor could feel anger lift from the pit of his stomach as his breath became fissures of piping hot fury ready to break through the cracks. Like bombs silver tongued words exploded from his...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=1269 12 Ymiden 715
Benjamin charged at the man as Malcolm braced for impact, moving aside just as his training partner slammed into his raised shield, causing his whole body to shudder as the force of the impact rocked them both, their iron shields ringing. A...
Moulded to his will the iron beneath his hammer cried a resounding clang with every swift stroke of his fists bashing and beating onto the iron, until it finally gave way to his relentless assault. Molten fire burned earth into iron that funnelled into the crevice of a large lump of rock to then be...
Ashan Seasonal Events 716 3 Ashan :
Nora’s birthday celebrations take place in Venora . People from all across Rynmere flock to the region to climb the mountain to Nora’s Rest . No doubt The Seers will be there, and a few of the city guard.

The First Hunt takes place in Warrick...
A new order, a new job. Andaris was definitely not short on woodcarvers, but the thing about being an artisan meant that each and every craftsman(or woman) had their own personal style and flair that carried over to the products, which their clients and customers would then...
Warriors of the Dragon
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=3496 Formly led by Veljorn Burhan , the Qe'Dreki, or 'Warriors of the Dragon' have slowly been gathering forces in the west for many arcs. Backed and funded by three of the major...
