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....

/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=2660 14 Ymiden 716
The book was non-fiction, like most of the books in her collection, Lazuli seldom had time for fairy tales, and perhaps this was why she had convinced herself of the fact that exciting things didn't happen to normal people. She was plain,...
Only the Lord knows as to why you're so dull and broody, Alistair, the Lich said. Excuse me? Alistair replied, squinting his eyes in a way that implied obvious offense, if feigned. Don't you perhaps believe you're of exceptional broodiness, is all I'm asking? You...
Stillness. Silence. The light of dawn lazily shifting it’s way up through the shutters of the bedroom window. Chirping of morning birds broke this stillness, an Ithecal rising from her slumber breaking the stillness. A yawn and a stretch, slowly rolling out of the blankets, making...
2nd Ymiden
Fort Krome, finally here. The village center was an interest. The guards watched the strange creature make her way up the road towards the town, Ithecal were not that common around these parts so Rita made an interesting sight. Weary after so long traveling she was just happy to be...
9th Break
11th Trial of Ashan, 716th Arc
Royal Glen, bordering Andaris.
The arrow veered off to the left, bouncing off a tree root and startling the rabbit. Before Nir'wei could even stand back up again, the little brown animal was gone - lost in a tangled mess of bare branches that had once been...
The slurred voice rose over the general din or the rest of the tavern.
Mercer, you've already told us. Multiple times. We know. I'm not saying I don't believe you or it didn't happen, I'm telling you I have other customers to look after and I already...
“Once Cylus is passed, we have agreed,” Pavoo exchanged a look with his uncharacteristically quiet wife, “that you may join the Skyriders in Andaris, Elyna.”
The girl thought she had died on the spot. Hands clenched tightly behind her...
Beyond the Fire-coral reef lay only darkness. It was here, where coral clung to the edge between the deep water of the Great Sea and the shallower waters of Rynmere's coast that the Tidewhispers gathered. Lapis had heard word of them first, a...
The ocean was calm and peaceful, and the sun shone brightly through the waters surface. Lapis would have normally gone exploring for treasures but the day was so pleasant he decided to visit the local Tylon pod and see what the latest goings on were. It didn’t take long for...
I need a bigger boat. Bravi'os, I love you, but I need a bigger boat.
So went Nivasis internal voice as the tacked out of Cyrene Bay and headed west. The Bravi'os was perfect for one, but it was no longer carrying one. She'd told Fethryn she'd teach him to fish, and had...
The flow of the sea could be felt all around Lapis as he began to calm his mind. He was fairly safe within the confines of the small caves hidden behind a zombie worm covered whale skeleton. Not many would consider investigating around the remains of the noble sea giant...
A mile or so from the shoreline, the ocean floor was rocky. Rend, never cheerful at the best of time, was agitated. Lapis wanted to learn more Arcana. Fine. Rend had no issue with that. To do it however, he's been told to seek out a tribe of Iffsa. Iffsa were not natural...

117 Ashan 716
The halls of House Krom were dusty, muddy footprints scattered about the entrance way, while beyond an array of furs and an open fire made the stone walls feel warm and inviting. A pile of dogs lay on an old cow hide half a metre...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=2&image_id=839 15 Ashan 716
The short-sword was relatively lightweight and Lazuli had chosen it for this reason. She had not taken length into consideration or the disadvantage that might put her in faced against someone with a longsword, but was intrigued by the grip...

Continuation from this thread...
Noiseless footfalls coasted in the darkness that was Emea. If one looked above, they might have thought they were seeing stars in such a quiet place, and maybe they could considered these things to be stars. These pin pricks of light...
The rain fell in dark sheets from black clouds. The oppressive texture of the air made it feel as though there was thunder trapped within the walls of the fort; because it rolled over the rooftops, incessant. Elyna had changed into more...
Home. The mist from the white well had long since burnt off the river and had risen up through the trees in the endless forest. But clouds had also gathered to spoils the sunshine that had threatened to see out the last trials of Ashan. Indigo...
Dew clung to the crisp morning air as the first day of Ymiden dawned over the mountainous horizon. Awake with the rising sun Vakhanor stood at the gate eagerly awaiting the arrival Lady Elyna Burhan. Only a few days prior the boat from Andaris had docked into port and the two had...
Unblinking eyes watched the Bay. Watched the ships go in and out. Taloned hands flexed in frustration. Too many to attack alone, and he felt too many of the damned Biqaj, oh so beloved of U'frek. Rends mouth opened in silent frustration, rows of sharp serrated teeth...
Aelius was finding a soft spot for Krom in his heart. He had only been in the northern city of Rynmere for two days, but the eight-day trek from Andaris to Krom allowed the place to enchant the half-breed man. Though it wasn’t as cold, he tried...
Malcolm approached the horse cautiously, he had twice taken a fall this morning and probably shouldn't have kept pushing his luck. The wayward mare was in a stroppy mood and now that the wind had picked up, she had become even more...
Lei'lira looked around with a feeling of satisfaction. She had gotten all of her morning chores done, and she planned to indulge herself in an afternoon at Meadow Farms. She loved going to the nearby farm to admire all of their stock, and...
Frantic squawking sounds drove Lei'lira from her much needed rest. She hastily dressed, and ran out of the cottage she shared with her twin. Feathers flew about madly, and she could see a streak of red race away into the darkness. Anger and...
