She'd wandered the city since she came from Venora and though Andaris was on the same lands they seemed entirely different. Crowded streets, less fluid and she missed the lushness of the Venoran lands but she'd been curious, too curious to stay away from the new...

Vhalar 26, 706 - Age 15

Torqin awoke before sunrise, as he did every day now for as long as he could remember. Crawling out of bed, the Lotharro boy settled into his usual routine. He crept from his bed, stood up at his full height, growing like a reed these days. He was already as tall as his...

Competition in Andaris was much busier than what she'd seen in Venora, dancers were a dime a dozen, preforming at any busking spot they could find from the trials start to trials end. As a dancer Val hoped to be so dedicated but it was hard not to be distracted after a few...

It started with a letter. Well, more of a note, brief and direct.

I need you, please come!

Aside from her name on the envelope that it had come in and the signature at the bottom of the note, there was no further information....

Sinnammyn stared at the hand before her, blinking before looking up at the man. What was with the humans she'd been running into recently? Wasn't she supposed to be less than scum? A doll for their...

6th of Zi'da, arc 717
Just another boring trial within a boring week of a boring season, Zane thought, overexaggerating his current troubles so that they actually seem relevant in the larger scheme of things. Most troubles of a day-to-day basis really couldn't touch the young man, and sometimes,...

Showers of sleet fell from time to time and the chill wind made everything seem colder but the Burhan had bundled up warmly nonetheless and ventured out. A few score trials ago, she would have been content to remain indoors but since...

Having only recently arrived in Andaris in anticipation of the foreign delegates' soon to be arrival, he'd come a bit early with most, fearing the weather might prove a formidable obstacle should it turn - though even on course, it was questionable...

4th of Ashan, 718.

It felt strangely good to be back in Rynmere. He'd only spent, what, two or three arcs there? Short of his ancestral home it was the longest he'd spent anywhere else, that might be true, but of them all, it was the place he had the...

There were places for Bards to play all over the city, even in Low-town. Woe heard the very poorest and least skilled of the buskers sing for their supper just blocks away from his house...

By the Seven, there's no need to rough him up. Caius growled above the slamming of doors, darkened irises focused on the particular pleasure the Purifier in front of him was taking in twisting the dark-haired young man's arm behind him, You can get the fuck back outside if you'd like...

Zi'da 90, 717

Thank Immortals that it had ended, albeit now much of Andaris spent time shoveling snow now. The constant snow fall that hit the country seemed to diminish spirits, as the people of Rynmere had begun to speak of it being one of the worst snowy season's...

46th Zi'da, 717 Celeste was tired. Tired of this pregnancy, of feeling, well, tired . All of her life she had craved more political power, to be in charge of her own destiny and not be beholden to the whims of those who could dictate to her and it was, finally, happening. Which was frankly a little...
