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....

It had been a week since he was informed that the date of his execution would be the 43rd of Ymiden, seven trials was all he had been given to prepare. After five years of waiting the time had finally come and some how Lucas had slept the night before like a baby. Maybe it was...
His search for the wine he came to Rharne for as well as his need to hide out until the excitement in the city died down led Nauta to Rosmerta. Rharne's famous wineyard almost immediately dug through the aukari's ear and reached into his brain the moment he stepped within the city's...

The day after: this
I'm never gettin' this muck out of my hair, Vega grumbled as they made their way towards the middle of the island. She was in, it was fair to say, something of a grouchy mood this morning, although not with him...
With a small glance to her, Varlum placed a hand on her scaled cheek. After all of this, she was more afraid than he was. Then again, she had a task to do, not that Varlum knew it. Protect the man. While...
Rharne Prison
/gallery/image.php?album_id=608&image_id=14651
Located in the Northern Stormwastes, an old nameless fort stands, one of few to have survived Faldrun's assault upon these once fertile lands. Perhaps due to its completely red stone structure the place withstood the brutal tactics of...
Auya awoke easily from her slumber at the Saltmaiden. She even got to have a proper night's sleep, sharing a room with Varlum and Leeson. It seemed the people here were not nearly as violent toward her kind as in Rharne proper. And with Varlum in the room, she was not worried...
Located just above Carevalle Town, the Stardust Arch is located roughly twelve miles into the Ywyngyll Forest. It stands as the last remnant of some long forgotten civilization. Made from a pristine white marble that is veined in a glittering silver dust, this location is tied...

I'm hotter'n Faldrun's pits, Vega said, with her usual complete lack of anything resembling ladylike. Flopping down on the ground next to him, she lay on the grass and looked up at him with a grin. But it were a good workout.
The Spire lies about three trials away by foot to the east of Rharne, nestled within a small forest on the southern banks of Lake Lovalus. As the name implies, it’s a massive, yet seemingly slender tower.
History
The origins of the Spire is lost in the mists of time, what is known...
Storm's Edge
Storm’s Edge exists on the southernmost perimeter of Mistral Wood. This fort and minor settlement serves as a stronghold of the Lightning Knights. Here the Knights protect the city of Rharne and inhabitants of the Stormlands from the ever present threat of the Stormwastes.
The Stormwastes of Rharne are a dismal and arid place that share little in common with the verdant Stormlands to the north of the Zynyx River. This landscape is vast, covering several hundred square miles to the south of the river that are heavily guarded by the nearby fortress:...

Mistral Village
Stormlands, Rharne
She needed to figure out a way to get some riding practice in at the city. Or she needed to come home more often. Pepper surreptitiously rubbed her thigh muscles, trying to ease the soreness. The pot of salve from the village herbalist had...

The trial after this
The trial before, they'd arrived in Mistral Village just in time to help defend the place against bandits. The pair of them had then worked through most of the night, and a lot of the morning....
70th of Ashan Continuing from here
“Fine, go waste your time with her.” Walden spat toward the group that was following his mother Iris. He stamped his foot against the ground and waved the team of rescuers toward another entrance into Mistral Wood.
/gallery/image.php?album_id=127&image_id=13725 98th of Ashan, Arc 718 - Afternoon
Mistral Woods was a peaceful place, filled with the melodic singing of birds and the distant calls of forest dwelling beasts. A warm gentle breeze drifted through the canopy sending the leaves whispering as they...
The idea free time was novel to say the least. Having time to slack off was a rare pleasantry that his living conditions rarely afforded him. Not that he was complaining. He was happy to have time to do as he wanted and time to be free of his father, he loved the man but that...
Ymiden 19, 718
It wasn't very often that the two of them just stayed around camp, not going anywhere in particular or as a result, as good as looking for trouble. Or going out and about where it could find them . But there was plenty they could do around camp, especially considering it was...
70th of Ashan Continuing from here
Iris watched with an appreciative smile as some of the strangers came forward to place offerings on the stone. The old woman knew that the giving of gifts was a sacred thing to the forest and it’s guardians. Their offerings would bring them good luck on the...
Arlo? Vega said, looking at him as they pulled the cart up to a stop, having arrived in Mistral Village. Vega had a number of the small boxes and larger pieces she carved from wood to sell and Arlo had told her that the people here...
121st Ashan, 718
The woman who greeted them when they arrived at the Rosmerta Winery had really got Vega's back up. She was a beautiful redhead and she was a flirty one, too. But Vega was determined, they were going to have a nice time. She had arranged a number of things for them, roping Jonas...

Where it will go....
So, she said, putting the box of equipment, tools and so on that she was carrying down on their bed which she had covered with an old sheet, and then getting out of the way so that he could do the same with the...
The Farrow Plantation & Winery is a well respected name among the inns and wine traders of Rharne. The winery produces some good traditional wines but is best known for producing some excellent results with fruits other than grapes as well. The family run property is...

1st Ymiden, 718
It was Immortals only knew what time in the early breaks of the morning, and yet she was awake. It was rare that she was awake while Arlo was sleeping, but she'd given up on sleeping any more tonight. She'd fallen asleep in his...
