27th Cylus Arc 722

In the darkness of the basement a girl wrung her hands and cast a hopeful gaze between the two figures. Hyde stroked his stubbled jaw slowly as the woman wept her story onto his floor. The young girl, for she could not have been older than eleven or twelve, was tearfully...

17 Cylus 722

Reports were coming in from all across Scalvoris but nowhere did it seem there was more chaos than the Element Hall in Almund. Not twenty four breaks ago an ice storm had ravaged the islands and very shortly before that the people were terrified...

16 Cylus 722

Two Flame Troopers stood side by side on the Almund docks, looking out into the dark of the night at the ships on the black horizon. When they heard what was happening, they had come as quickly as they could. It was not the fully company he had to train but one who was the most...

Cylus 5th Arc 722

Wisp sat on the edge of a ceiling beam sipping a thimble of rich hoppy beer and sloshing its contents as she sang along with the crowd. A stolen bowl of soup and buttered breadcrumbs sat beside the happily munching Tunawa. While Tunawa didn’t need to eat, Wisp was cold to the...

25th Cylus Arc 722

The double breasted door was a poor collar to the stone and wooden wall to her left. She stood at the threshold of Hyde and Seek , staring back along the long wall of shop doors she'd followed. The stone was merely the sea upon which the old ship structures rocked. Perpetually...

10 Vhalar 721

It was far from the first time that Balthazar had been sitting in an office in Almund's Element Hall but he didn't normally feel as nervous about it as he did on the fourth of Vhalar. He'd gone to the Council meeting a few trials prior and while many who saw what he'd done would...

Location: The Magework's Guild, Scalvoris.

Deep in the heart of the Magework's Guild, Cad Revel's diabolical laugher echoed through the empty halls.

Last season Cad had finally revealed his presence to the world as a villain,...

A corner of one of the less affluent areas of Almund, far outside the usual patrols of the Element Troopers. Here is the territory of the up-and-coming mercenary group that borders on being a gang, or a vigilante group, doling out street justice and...

Catalina 'Raynarde' DeFoe was sitting, looking at the other 'patrons' in Mad O'Rourkes, Almund. She had in front of her a mug of ale and she lounged back in her chair, watching. The young Biqaj lifted one leg, clad in thigh-high black...

Saun 33, Arc 716, 3rd Break

The light was weak but present, this far into Saun there was no night to be had. Almund lay as quiet as it got, which all thing considered was not very. The occasional yell, be it of pain, anger, high spirits or any other emotion still split the air. Songs were sung as...

19 Ymiden 721

Life on Faldrass had not been what Balthazar expected in any way. Leading a settlement was a challenge on its own, but it was even harder when you were what some would classify as a 'convicted criminal.' He hadn't been himself when he was being watched. That was what he told...

Almund was....... unique. The topic of whether it is a good or bad place is heavily debatable. On the one hand, it could be argued that the city was a product of the creativity of its inhabitants. A canvas on which the many citizens of the city express themselves and show a part of their culture to...

Twilight - the time of trial when the sun was below the horizon, illuminating the world with soft candlelight, allowing the harshness of reality to fade for a time, and occasionally revealing truths hidden by the light. Natalia enjoyed...

Spider, a neighbor, catches the flies that try to take my seeds. Will you take me, so that I may spread my progeny?

The rhododendron blossom beseeched the man who used the Soul-Forged speech to communicate with it. The little pink flower was...

Kura hummed slightly to herself as she walked through Almund. The current Albarech was dressed simply, in most of the outfit she had worn to Saoire's Feast. Rather than her usual totally black ensemble,...

1st of Zi'da 721

It'd been some time since Woe went on an honest-to-goodness job interview. Setting aside his campaigns for various political offices around the world, or being press-ganged into militaries, the last time he'd sat down and answered questions for a potential employer must...

25 Vhalar 721

Balthazar had not and could not forget that there was a killer on the loose in Scalvoris. He hadn't been given any assignments that he thought lined up with the rupturing mage's modus operandi but he knew that the killer was still out there... or at the very least he had not been...

Vhalar 13, Arc 721

The Buckle and Chain wasn’t the best tavern in Almund, but it was far from the worst. Natalia made a habit of stopping through most of them, listening for enticing bits and pieces of information that she could use to her advantage in one way or another. Most of the time, she...

Arc 721, 15 Vhalar

“Grayson? Where’s Ares?” Striding back up to the clearing where she had left her cousin and her dragonling, Natalia’s eyes scoured the area briefly, looking for the creature while waiting for her companion to answer.

They had both been there when she set off into the wood...

So what exactly was it you said you did again, Mr Revel?

Natalia had a problem. 'Problem' was a bit dramatic, and it was more of a situation or issue than a problem, but one that would take grit, determination, and focus to solve. The young woman was unsure if she was up to the task, but someone had to do...

It was a topic Grayson was wary of bringing up to his young cousin, but there were things that needed to be said and choices that Natalia would have to face on her own - sooner rather than later. He didn’t envy her, but then again, he had made the...
