Beyond the city of Rharne lies the Stormlands, which is home to a number of farms, forests, fields, Lake Lovalus, and the River Zynyx. This subforum also includes the Stormwastes to the south.
We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...

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....

Yeva hears rumors regarding the effects of some of Rharne's newest drinks and has them shipped to Storm's Edge so that she can test these claims for herself.
She sat rolling bandages when the package arrived. A crate nailed shut, the courier smiled kindly and carted it over, handing her a slip of parchment to sign. 'For my boss,' he explained, 'Man will go mental if I go losing another shipment. Gotta have proof.'
One thing scholars loved to do is gossip. Of course, they wouldn’t see it as such. Conversing, discussing, debating, sharing of information - that’s what they would call it. In her mind, it was gossip…but to each their own. Sitting down in the...
Dan already had an arrow on the string when a fat partridge blundered up out of the grass almost under his nose, and he loosed on instinct. The arrow hit, but not cleanly and he had to scuttle after the wounded...
There's, quote, 'something odd' happening at Storm's Edge and he's trying to find out if the local plants and animals have been affected. He wants a guide to take him into the forest, the translator explained, nodding in the direction of the lightning knight...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=507&image_id=18065 Arc 720, 64th of Ymiden
Darius' legs ached as he made his way through the stone corridors, his footsteps echoing off the walls. He had thought that he might feel refreshed, after spending no less than eight trials sitting on a wagon, but the wooden...
It would have been nice to have been in Rharne, sharing a wine skin with her brothers, maybe even mustering up enough courage to finally ask a man to dance, knowing full well she'd stumble and likely crush a few toes in the process. Instead, she was at Storm's Edge, listening to...
Vega had been out there, looking up at the stars and remembering. Remembering how, this time two arcs ago she had died. Burned to death, her body shattered and broken and then, how she had awoken but her body - specifically her then-shattered legs...

Dan stared down at the child caught in his pit trap for a long moment, wondering if this was another feral kid like he had once been, and if so, what should he do? Then he remembered to lower his spear, letting the...

Things had started to settle down a bit at Storms Edge, at least for the moment, and Vivian had decided that, since there were still problems with the cavalry, it was time she went and did some scouting. Now, there were others who had professed that...

The beasts had been repelled from the fort, at least for the time being, but several of the knights and helpers had been injured. Vivian had gone over everything else on their table for the moment and decided that the best place for her to be at the...
Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics, the woman instructed, Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation.
She stopped before Yeva, caught on the woman's attire. The redhead wore simple...
The Experience of Youth and Bravado
Ashan 14th 720
It was nice to once again be helping in the clinic and away from the autopsy room. The platinum haired healer was happy to help fight the monsters but her true passion was healing. Unfortunately she had the evening shift...
Horse-apples dried into disks of fuel burned in Dan's small hearth, giving a thicker, muskier, scent to the rising smoke than woodsmoke offered. More disks sat on a makeshift rack in the sun, drying into more fuel, the output of a good morning's work. He'd parked his open cart and...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11507 5th Cylus, 720 ~~ following this Hmm, was Vega's only comment as they made their way forward. Having blocked off the hole by the wall, others had gone on a reccie to find out what other holes there might be. There had been, as it turned out, a cellar....
Seira and Seri had fallen into a routine quickly. The twins woke early, and they got a few breaks of physical training in before breakfast. Sometimes that was practicing with their short bows. But more often than not, they...
Like many other skills he took to, and every skill he'd become engrossed with, the training became more than that. Eventually, it became a sort of meditation. A way for him to express himself, but in that narrow and definite way that...

The first clue was the enormous plumes of smoke which they could see as they rode towards the area. Vega, sitting atop Storm, looked at this and a dark frown crossed her forehead. She looked at it and she knew that, no matter what,...
Being a hero sucks, Yeva whispered, smoking as she listened to the cries of her mother in the bedroom. The dead woman stood and stared at the wall, materialized by bedside table. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of the house. Her house. The house she should have come...
Would they still have their flesh, she wondered. Would their skin be blackened and peeling, the fat of their cheeks melted away to reveal charred teeth? Had their eyeballs vanished in a plume of noxious smoke? Yeva drew the blade from her lap and pressed its pointed tip against the...

Just after this
Oh, I've missed you, I really have.
One could certainly be forgiven for thinking that Vega was talking to her husband, Arlo. But no, this was Storm, her horse. She loved her horse and she loved, more than anything, the prospect of being...
