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.

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...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=14311 8th Trial of Ymiden during Arc 718
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...

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...

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...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=8018 92nd Trial of Ashan during Arc 718
Her cousins were getting married tomorrow and Vega was sitting, looking out at the boats in Rharne docks. The Wanderlust and the Waking dreamer both were about as tidy as it was possible to be with bunting and flags...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=12687 120th Ashan 718
Everything was ready for them to go, the next trial, for a three night getaway to the Rosemerta Winery. There, with Jonas' help, Vega had arranged for them to learn to work with chocolate, to have a wine tasting and dinner dance and a...
15th of Ashan, Arc 718 - Dawn
It was nearly dawn, soft shadows diffused what little light there was in the sky into a deep azure haze. A thick fog lay across the Stormlands like a comfortable blanket. Just beyond the walls of Rharne stood a woman, clothed in a rich indigo cloak and leather armor,...
He may not be a Lightning Knight, not even a mercenary in any sense of the word with his own trip to Rharne but at least Nauta decided to help with the investigations. While he was not about to tell of the Lightning Knights, he was rather experienced with investigations during his...

91st of Ashan, 718
There was no doubting it, Vega needed more sleep than him. Especially since Cassion's blessing, which complicated things on a number of levels regarding them sleeping, she had slept longer than him. She didn't like it, but it was...
92nd Ashan 718
She'd bought a new dress, a full outfit and they'd come back to the Wanderlust the night before. A break or so ago, Arlo had gone to check on his stepfather, Jonas and the two of them were going to get ready together; Vega had told him to take his time, she wanted some space to get...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=12962 88th Ashan, 718
She was so happy she could cry. The emotions which swirled in Vega were matched by the colours which did the same in her eyes, but every one of them positive. Will you stop eatin'? Yer gonna get fat an' then I'll have to dump you for...
