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...

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...

4th of Ashan, 719.
He'd been waiting for what felt like an eternity, since Xithyria had finally broken the news, but it was here. His Initiation. The final test of his skills before he became an official Lightning Knight, not just an initiate...
6 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge
Mathias groaned as he hefted the tool box that the Lightning Knights had been able to provide him with to try and repair the armory. It wasn’t much more than a few hammers and nails, a saw or two, and some other instruments Mathias didn’t know the...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=14141 2nd Cylus, 720
Well, I get that, she said to the Lightning Knight who was taking her through to the training area. I mean, it's been tricky an' you've been hit hard. I get that. I'm jus' saying that it looks like huckmuck in here, an' that gives me...
There were injured men and women all around the place from various confrontations over the past few trials. Luckily a free members of the order had arrived but Gennadiya was going to do more then just waiting for someone to walk in bleeding to death. There were plenty of little things...
16 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge
There had been many rough trials for the last knights of Storm's Edge but there were harder trials to come. The sore Mathias had resigned himself to more construction efforts totrial with the hope that it would help him stay out of combat. He'd spent...
Gennadiya walked into the room they had confiscated for use of dissecting the flame creature they had killed on that first day of arrival. She still remembered the stupid things bursting out of that hole and attacked other volunteers. The guards had cared anything for the remains but...
Mathias Blackwood
Holding Storm's Edge: Their Mouth Look Like A Target
1 Ashan 720
Mathias was out at the archery range working on his aim with his bow again. He'd become pretty good at using the chunk of wood to fling projectiles in the trials he'd been defending Storm's Edge but now he was...
The sound was a consistent thing across the courtyard. Not constant, given the nature of it. Often drowned out or muddled by other activities, of which there were many. But if a man stopped toiling long enough, or listened hard enough, and he'd detect...
The dark of Cylus brought a chill with it that had affected everyone in Storm's Edge. The weather was imperfect and the monsters at the gates kept everyone on edge, but the cold was what would take them in their sleep. The cold was what would make...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=11420 27th Trial of Cylus during Arc 720
I bloody hate Cylus, Vega grumbled to herself.
It was true - the dark and cold was really hampering the abilities of people to get on and do the most basic of things. Vega was very aware that and she wanted to...
The leader roared its rage and hatred out into the wall of men, but not its fear. It simply wasn't capable of it; the rudimentary understanding of such things as self-preservation, mortality, and finite existence was not built into it. Its masters...
Haven't seen you here before, said one of the volunteers to Vega and she grinned slightly and shrugged. I don't sleep much, the red-head replied and she left it at that.
She was in the makeshift barracks they had - and she felt...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=14419 25th Cylus 720
There was something about Rharnians, Vega had decided, that was just plain weird. She knew that they were given to extremes of mood, and she'd seen that before. Once, she'd had several burly men try to beat the living daylights out of...
They knew naught but hate, and rage, and hunger. The first two were foisted upon their souls; injected and implanted when they were crafted by their masters, so that they would serve as ever more vicious cannon fodder. The last was unavoidable, or...
Dan padded along the bank of the stream clad in a sleeveless hide vest, patched trousers, and boots, squinting through the dazzle of sunlight of water and trying to avoid the worst clouds of insects. Against his sun darkened skin, a net of fine scars showed up...
The wind and the sky did not answer Kasoria. Nor did the trees and the grass. The relentless darkness of Cylus remained silent, cloaking, inscrutable. Even dramatic convention seemed to scorn his question, for there was...
The sounds of battle both by clash of arms and whispers of rumors had made its way into the infirmary. The various healers both those who served the knights or the priesthood and the members of the Order feel into work. The surgeons cleaned their hands and...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13772 17th Cylus, 720
Vega was not - even at the best of times - a good patient.
This was not - it was fair to say - the best of times. Look, I'm fine, I heal right fast, an' you've got people here who are really sick, she said and she gestured to the...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13363 21st Cylus 720
Tio's tiny todger, but it's right cold, innit? Vega said and she smiled at the young Lightning Knight who she was patrolling the wall with. They stood, watching out and covering the area they needed to. Up here, on the wall, they were...
It truly was a terrible thing, seeing a book in such condition. Straight edges of parchment warped and charred, precious knowledge eaten away and wiped out forever. Cover twisted and frozen forever in a weird, bubbled sort of texture, where the...
/gallery/image/17799/medium 23rd Cylus, 720.....
Vega was scouting the stormlands with a group of volunteers and knights. The knight in question who was in charge was, in Vega's opinion, an unmitigated asshat. He and she had not got off to a good start. As they had got ready, she'd made sure to...
5 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge
It had been a long trial in Storm's Edge for Mathias who had been at work since he arrived early in the unlit morning. First he'd met a plethora of strange but interesting figures, then they'd been attacked, then he'd gone to practice some archery so...
