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....

Tucked way beyond the Stormwastes is an system of ancient caverns, where untold horrors are said to dwell and legendary treasure awaits. Truth is the Umbral Caverns have only ever been explored once, to an extent, because of the fact their network...
110th of Ashan 722: Poisoned Pastures: A local farmer discovers that two of his cattle have died overnight. Within trials, other farmers start making similar discoveries, but it isn't just animals that are dying - crops are dying, too. The farmers worry that the soil...
They broke their fasts on porridge sweetened with chopped plums, packed everything up, and set out again, keeping the wood visible on their right, but far enough from it that the wagon and cart had an easier way. Dan rode as he had before, keeping an eye on...
The supply caravan for Rosebay was small, consisting only of a larger wagon and a smaller cart, but it was enough to hold all the arranged and paid for supplies with enough space over for the settlers' own belongings and room up front for a few to ride if they needed to. Dan counted 10...
Eureka was a fascinating place, Prae found as he made his way through it. He had no idea what half the buildings were for or what anyone was doing—he'd passed a pair of people arguing about glass lenses, of all things—but the atmosphere was bright, and people...
Dan grimaced at the way that a recent storm had left the more trampled areas around his camp streaked and piled with mud, and shoved another spoonful of soup into his mouth. One of the piles of mud reminded him of the mud wall windbreaks that he sometimes made to shield his fire. Mud...
1st of Saun: The Undefeated
A Knight appears as dry lightning flashes crisscross the sky. He claims to be the duelist that nobody was able to defeat the prior season at the end of Cylus. He takes to challenging anyone bearing a blade to...
Praetorum squinted at the arrowhead in his hand, trying to memorize its weight and size. He was far less familiar with arrowheads than he was with the broadheads of a crossbow bolt, but they followed the same basic design. A socket at the back, a sharp point at the front....
Two trials had passed, and it seemed the river rats were more cautious than Prae had given them credit for. The group he'd driven off, and the woman he'd attuned to, had yet to return to their main base, instead sailing further down the river before slipping into...
There was green growing in the Stormwastes for the first time that he could remember, and just on the edge of his vision , within easy striking distance, there was a glint of open water - a pool or a lake of some sort. Dan stood and stared at it for what felt...
It was a common misconception that traveling at night during the desert was best. Whether for the fact that it became colder at night, or because the stars were available for navigation. But Woe had been to...

That morning, she had called together the people of Eureka and discussed with them what she wanted to do. There had been questions, concerns even, but by the time she left, everyone was on board. There were many who...
19 Cylus 722
After what felt like far too long sitting in the hallway outside the warden's office and waiting while other candidates took their turns interviewing, Grimwald was finally called in for his own interview. About damn time. He thought to himself. A lone, undisciplined thought. He wasn't...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13293 18th Trial of Cylus during Arc 720
It was never-ending. Vega was starting to feel like it would literally never end and, that was a bit of a worry since she was Faldrun's daughter. That meant, she supposed, that she might still be here in a hundred...
2nd Trial of Ashan during Arc 720

Alright, an' that makes sense, said Vega, still newly-appointed Justicar of the Lightning Knights but old-hat at argumentative. I'll go along an' help...

Vivian looked over her notes, and the diagram she had set up on the table. She knew Vega didn't read all that well, so her hope was that a visual example would help her sister learn better than a written list. Once she was certain she had everything...

Vivian looked up at the sky and let out a soft sigh. The war was well and truly over now, and all the people who had come to Storm's Edge for it were already going home. They were working on repairing the lingering damage to the fort, and...
If I'd known, Faith said to Alissa, her bodyguard and friend, I'd have been here sooner. You should have told me, Faith met Alissa's gaze and her biqaj companion was unrepentant Faith sighed...

Faith was exhausted, he knew that. They'd spent some time together in Karem's realm the four of them and that had been lovely. But for all that she put on a smile and a brave face to the rest of the world, everything...
Dan shaded his eyes and scanned the sky above the Stormlands. It looked like it was going to be another warm dry trial, which made it perfect for the task he'd planned. He had a tent to re-waterproof, and there was no point in doing it on a day when the...
Rharne's prison was certainly an impressive building from the exterior. Located far enough away from the city itself that escape was virtually pointless because even if you managed to get out of your cell, what were the odds you could escape across the Stormlands without any...

Continued from here
First of all, Dan considered, he had to get the ponies rubbed down and dried off. He started with Cloud and then moved on to Smoke. He rubbed each of them down with clean rags, working his way from just behind her...
As Prae finished speaking, the room fell completely silent. All his top lieutenants, from Ricky and Clarissa, who'd been with him for Arcs, to Syd, only recently joined, looked at each other, and back at him.
I knew it, Ricky finally said. I knew he was going to say...
Dan paused his journey between camp sites when he saw fish leaping in the lake. He wasn't in such a hurry that he couldn't take a break for food, and fresh fish would be a pleasant meal. He unharnessed the ponies and led them down a...
