The seven Duchies of Central Rynmere and their respective baronies, cities, towns, villages, and landmarks each overseen by a Duke of one of the seven noble families and ultimately controlled by the King of Rynmere.

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 rolling countryside of Venora was beautiful from afar in the opening sonnets of Zi’da, laced gently with dustings of snow and frost, everything still and far to cold for much of anything except warm cosy fires and hot beverages. When one looked closer, they would...
The carriage ride, for Darcy at least, had not seemed quite as long nor quite as dull. Having another person along for the trip had made the three trials pass far more quickly it seemed. Perhaps it was the company, or perhaps it was the distractions said company...
Charlie had left Darcyanna in a daze. She'd wanted to accompany the poor girl back to Andaris, but she was still expected to finish work here, and the Venoran had been insistent on going back that trial. Something about a...
Ellipsism
101st of Vhalar, Arc 717
Ever since the Endors had returned to their land, Velaine Krome had spent her days cooped up in her study, looking for all records of her family’s finances. More specifically, the details of the debts they owed to House Venora. As the papers piled on her desk,...
10 Ashan 711
Valeria had thought that there could be nothing worse than the long travel necessitated by Burhan's awkward position within Rynmere. When she'd visited Umberidge in Gawyne the previous Zi'da, she'd thought that she might die of boredom or exhaustion after her long carriage ride. In...
A breath, that's all he really wanted—just a sarding moment to breathe. Caius had taken it all in stride for a good break longer than he thought he could, the weight of the Gala crowd with all of its shallow conversational demands and well-conditioned laughter...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=12022 10th Trial of Zi’da, Arc 717
Andráska Venora was a kind boy, and an honorable man. In his youth, he was wild, found by a number of the servants in dubious situations and yet always seemed grateful for their help in recovering from the antics of the...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=121&image_id=4830 49th Day of Zi'da,
717th Arc
The insecurity that Tasar felt as she passed through into one of the many grand rooms of the estate only grew larger. She remained close behind her owner, scurrying along after his wide strides and trying not to trip in...
Unlikely Friendship
7th of Cylus, Arc 712
It was her birth-trial. A day that should be full of celebration and excitement. Her family had thrown a rather impressive party to celebrate it and probably invited all sorts of nobles to attend. Unfortunately, Velaine Krome was not precisely pleased...
24 Ashan 703
“You can’t keep your feet together like that! If you do that when you curtsey then you’re going to lose your balance and end up falling on the floor, Ly’Valeria! ” Ulyna chided, earning a pout from her young charge. “You can’t curtsey properly that way in any case.”
70th Ashan, 717 It is most kind of you to come to see us, Lord Gawyne. I hope that your journey was pleasant? Celeste Andaris and Xander Krome had requested the presence of Hunter Gawyne at Xander's home in Krome in order to discuss the possibility of a new home being built for them.
My two natures had memory in common.
83rd of Ashan, 717
Andraska had been permitted to stay in Krome and he had come to only one conclusion during his entire visit:
It was cursed.
Not only had the solace of a nearby forest done nothing but give him more nightmares and a sense of paranoia,...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=121&image_id=4830 4th Trial of Ymiden,
Arc 717
The journey had been a long one - a boat ride followed by a carriage journey. At least the journey on the ship had been far more comfortable than that of her journey from Athart to Viden, shoved below deck like sardines,...
7 Vhalar 710
Travelling from Burhan to Gawyne was an ordeal. By the Seven, it was an ordeal to travel from Burhan to anywhere! It had been quite a few arcs since she'd had reason to leave her own homeland but she'd thought her memories of endless trials of travel had been the product of far more...
Don’t Step on My Foot
75th of Vhalar, Arc 717
The sun shone through the windows of her room, giving light to the female Krome as she slipped into a strapless gossamer dress the color of soft peach. It was a pretty thing, but not very practical and certainly not something she would have chosen...
Contingency
76th of Vhalar, Arc 717
Velaine Krome had made sure contacting her brother was at the very bottom of her list of solutions. She had tried to make sure there was never the need to ask him for assistance, yet here she was, sitting dejectedly as she waited for a servant to knock on her...
This is set immediately after V's marking story, which can be found here
101 Vhalar 713, Night
Valeria didn't know how to function. She could only stand there, staring off in the direction that Zanik had vanished in as if hoping that he'd materialise from the crowd of nobles. She certainly...

119th of Vhalar, 717
Nathaniel sat at the desk in his room toiling over the papers of this season's production. His particular endeavor focused on pulling iron ore from the ground and shuttling it up to the surface so that it could be smelted into...
The snows of the cold cycle had finally thawed and melted, and the landscape across all of Gawyne was beginning to turn green again. Fresh growth was everywhere, hardy and eager, and although the air was still chilly even during the day, the best...
The light had just barely begun to touch his face, causing the lord to roll over and pull the blankets over his head. It was only then that he felt the strange weight upon his torso that he began to rouse himself from his dreams. It had been a strange dream, where he had been...
105 Vhalar 713
Valeria knew how different she now was. After she'd been marked, she'd been even more obsessed with gazing into the mirror at her own reflection than before. Immediately afterwards, she'd been sure that there was some outward sign of what had occurred to her and it had turned out...
The trial began well before the sun rose on a farm. This was something that Lei'lira knew well. She had lived with it all of her life, and after all these arcs, it was something that she enjoyed. Eri, and the other kids,...
The varieties and the sheer amount of the food sprawled upon their dinner table was enough to make Velaine Krome pause as she entered the room. Her mother did say their family was going to celebrate her return, but she had expected a simpler dinner – a...
