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.

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 Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.

He was a city boy, through and through. Nothing made that more plain than when he was in the middle of the woods. And yet, for all the strangeness of it, the city boy found there were parallels. Useful ones, at that.
There wasn't much done quickly that couldn't be done slowly. That was his experience, anyway. From punches to sword thrusts, from rolls to running, it always started slow. Speed required coordination, after all. The faster something moved, the less...
The first thing Dandelion noticed near his latest camp site was the hazel tree and the nuts falling from it to be lost among the piles of dead leaves at its foot. The second thing he noticed was the lazy pool where...
He knew not why he had been requested to do so but here he stood in front of an edifice as tall as the sky’s reach, remembering having been asked to report to his father’s lofty abode. The last thing that hadn’t been previous scrubbed from his memory was the illusive game of “slap...
Verbena was not enjoying Storm’s Edge. The stone walls encircled a noisy crowd of merchants, knights, and healers and the only colours were found on sigils and flags. The Tunawa escaped the confines of the fortress to the Mistral Wood given...
It was not the same as his Abrogation. An obvious statement, perhaps, but only one living with that force, that energy, that Spark within them could understand the subtlety underpinning it. Abrogation was a discipline of protection and denial. Its...
Carcasses of vegetation no longer, lichen and wort moss coated the bark of the trees like a second coat. A veil of greenery subdued any and all life beneath it, sucking the sunlight through a proverbial straw so none was left for the dwellers underneath. Long and stocky vines...
14th trial, Ymiden, 720
The Stormwastes
11th break
Magic was not unknown to him anymore. An arc ago, going on two, it would have been wondrous and terrifying in equal measure. The idea of some... thing, with its own animal intellect and yearnings squatting within his form, casting spells and...
The period known as Cylus was coming to an end. The trials on perpetual twilight and darkness would soon pass for another arc. Genna stood at the edge of the courtyard in the darkness breathing in...
When Dan reached the edge of the river, he slid down off Cloud, ran the stirrups up out of her way, slackened the girth, and watered both of them before he tethered her and Smoke where they could graze in comfort and safety. Neither of the sturdy grey ponies...
Jessup nodded shakily, but not with true fear. Kasoria had seen that in the faces of men like him over the last two seasons. The first one, mainly. That sopping, shaking, trembling terror of creatures their simple minds couldn't have imagine...
Sergeant Rynfar never took his eyes off Patrick for the entire journey. From the moment he'd been removed from his cell to their arrival at what would be Patrick's new home, not a single word had been uttered to him by the esteemed Guardian, nor any of his four accompanying...
The boy took his time with his reply. Kasoria didn't mind. Wasn't like he was going anywhere. Yet.
He had his chores, his duties, and his own routine to fill the time. Storm's End was secure, but that didn't make it safe . Kasoria wasn't sure exactly...

(Continued from here )
Stiffness clung to his body like a heavy weighted armor, the palpable tension still in his figure enough to demand a stir. It still appeared noticeably dark out when he'd opened his eyes a crack, almost impenetrably so now that he'd...
Darkness had become an unrelenting eternity for him now, every waking moment a reality he could no longer control. Because of this he shunned them; the Immortals, his 'friends' that pleaded to him so... It felt as though the entire world had been against...
A guard walked down the hallway inspecting every cell to make sure every inmate remained in bed, the wee early hours of the morning just on the verge of being greeted with sunrise. But of course no such warmth and light would greet everyone on the...
- Kill the Breacher Beast.
A huge siege beast has broken through the gate, and seems focused on destroying any buildings it finds, opening holes for more beasts. Stop it before it breaks anything else! High Danger. (Refer to the Lightning Knights...
There was no hope of sleeping in, not that morning. Not with the constant clang echoing about the courtyard. There was a rhythm to it, if one had but the ears to find the timing, but few did. Instead it seemed utterly random....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11420 5th Trial of Ashan during Arc 720
Oh, Qylios' quiffy hair, do I have to?
Vega looked at Jack and he smiled at her. Somehow, somewhere along the lines, Vega and Jack had become almost like friends, she thought. Sort of. Almost. But not really....
1st Ashan, 720
Frankly, Vega was of the opinion that people were stupid.
She understood the need to do this, but equally, it was not a need which she had. However, there it was - they were having a party. A gathering. A shindig. It was being done to celebrate the many successes which had...
Holding Storm's Edge: Let Loose The Worms of War
2 Ashan 720
Mathias and a small group of other volunteers had decided to go out into the Stormlands to try and bring back some of the beasts that had been plaguing them for so long. The research that had been done thus far had...
Holding Storm's Edge: Let's Cook This Noodle
4 Ashan 720
Up! The Lightning Knight leading the exercises bellowed the word to the row of volunteers who had agrees to train with them. Among those volunteers was Mathias, breathing heavily as he pushed himself up off of the...
Most often, you didn't notice you were improving. Not as a constant, mindful observation. You attempted, and unless natural talent was built into your blood, you were poor in the attempt. But you persevered. You tried again. You got...
