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....

Date: 27th of Vhalar Status: Aw fuck
Weapons: None Armor: Platelike Leather
After over a season of guarding the kitchens without incident, Prae had to admit they'd all gotten complacent. Not a single 'headernickle' had appeared in all that time, and there was no sign that any more would....
Yeva returns to her room after a haunting surgery and must resign herself with another glass of liquor to continue her observations. While waiting for the effects of the compello brew, Yeva is faced with a different sort of thirst; A thirst for answers.
The door to the room was thrown open, a frantic Yeva running inside, gasping with blood coating nearly the entire length of her arms. Her freckles were smattered with sprays of blood and her hair, pulled back, had managed to find itself covered...
Every time he spent time with Elisabeth there was a sense of relief and comfort, a feeling of care he hadn't taken in a long time. All the death he had faced, all the hostilities and enemies, all of it faded into nothing but a memory. Every doubt...
My songs know what you did in the dark - Fall Out Boy
“Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the meantime
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the details with the devil
So now the...
The trial before, Dan had found a tree heavy with late plums and spent the trial picking as many as he could reach. They weren't particularly big, perhaps the size of the top joint of his thumb, but they were very ripe and sweet and filled a craving he hadn't...
The Caravansary comes out of Volantan territory, much beleaguered by the dangers and treachery of the road and from Yaralon before it. They have lost several guards and travelers who are tagging-along already, but they are out of the woods now and onto the Stormlands.
Here, they make camp.
The people of the Caravansary were exhausted, having stopped barely for a moment after they came out of the woods of Yaralon's Bastard's Grove. They'd lost near a third of their number, tag-alongs, and a few guards in Yaralon territory only to...
Prae twirled the quarterstaff between his hands, reacclimating himself to the weight and balance of it, before nodding to himself. three humans, all wardenlings or nepholytes or whatever—Prae...
Seira and Seri found an unoccupied corner of the mess hall to eat their breakfast. They were ignored for the most part, and Seira couldn't help but be relieved. Being ignored was far better than being pointed at and...
Three trials had passed since the events of the Mummers Ball.
Three trials which had seemed normal. Usual. Perhaps even mundane for those at Storm’s Edge. Or, as mundane as things got here. However, what was happening was far from usual.
Varlum muttered to himself quietly in the courtyard, the sound of others training echoing across the area. Everyone wanted to be at their best when the fighting broke out. With how many people they'd lost so far there was nobody willing to sit aside and do nothing, at...
The idea had been bubbling in Prae's mind ever since his meeting with Balthazar, where the martial artists had taught him the full four forms of his fighting style.
Mathias Blackwood
Storm's Edge: It's Not A Date!
16 Cylus 720
Mathias was nervous. He didn't even know why he was nervous but he knew that he was. Gennadiya had invited him to join her for dinner while they were working at the forge earlier and he wanted to. Immortals how he wanted to join her....
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...

continued from here
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...
