Seated on the shores of Lake Lovalus, Rharne serves as the home of the Lighting Knights, the Thunder Priestesses, and the Merchant's guild. This beautiful trade city is filled with a happy and contented people who rarely need an excuse to party.
It's Cold Cycle time, and we're well into the end portion of 725 with 726 looming.
We've seen a bit of a flurry of activity, and new interest this past cycle, with the Floating Island over Scalv which was a huuuuge event. Kudos to Peg for running that madly successful event....

The Best Date Ever
According to five separate scrolls and one rather smug book on courtship rituals.
It had taken her four full trials to plan.
Three, if you didn’t count the one she’d lost to pacing up and down the long glass corridors of Meandering Heights with a notebook in one hand and a...
Cassander’s sleep was hardly ever dreamless. Even before the fall of Rynmere, he had dreamed frequently, but the intensity of his dreams had increased as his memories had faded. The life he lived while he was asleep tended towards...
4 Ymiden 725
It was a true and proper miracle that Morticar managed to get through the day without snapping. He didn’t remember most of it, to be honest, but no one was shouting at him by the end, so he must have behaved somewhat tolerably.
Lorelai was the only one who noticed his hands shaking...
Cassander approached Sage Castemont’s house slowly, ready to draw his sword at a moment’s notice, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Nobody was throwing apples, or household implements, at him, and there was none of that hair-raising scream-singing.
Cassander had decided to leave the dead problins at Sage’s place for the time being as he wanted to make sure that Mister Bockey was really willing to take them first. He’d also changed into clean clothes – an embroidered, olive-green coat over a black...
Diana groaned as she came to, opening her eyes to pitch darkness, and a chilly living space. Her bedroom was entirely in the black, but for the moonlight shining in through the seams in the muddy roof. With some effort, she rose to the edge of her bed, and looked out at the hearth, which had...

Scalvoris needed a Lightning Dome. He'd have to tell Kura one of these days.
For the day, the main arena had been split off into multiple smaller 'courts', each in use for training sessions and sparring. The stands were only sparsely populated today, and those few...
“How would you deal with an invasion of beasts, Cassander of Rynmere?” Sage Castemont, his employer, asked him that afternoon, just as they were about to close the shop for the trial.
Her tone of voice was soft and gentle, and she tilted her head a little to the side as she...
“It’s been a couple of arcs”, Cassander replied when Madeleine told him that she was sorry for his loss. “Eventually, you get used to it and focus on the pleasant experiences rather than the pain”, he added. Truth to be told, he wasn’t particularly sad...
He had been told the basics, when he had finally been well enough to understand what had happened to him. A healer from the Order of the Adunih, a Blue Cloak, had found him wandering the countryside, somewhere in the Eastern Territories. She had taken...

The Flying Moon - Glass Quarter
For all the walking up the Pilgrim's Ascent he had to do, from the docks, through the Earth Quarter, and up to the pinnacle of the city, Zeer had a fondness for the Glass Quarter.
Perhaps it was his Qi'ora heritage giving him up, but...
His sleep had hardly ever been dreamless during the previous three arcs. It had often been troubled by nightmares, especially before his unexpected recovery, as countless traumata and manipulations had taken their toll. He had frequently dreamed of fire, of people burning, of...
Not for a visit, but she'd handed the military over to Jacien. She'd checked that everyone in Sweetsong was sorted and she told them she was leaving. There was some sadness, but she promised to visit - it just was important that they got on...
„Have you noticed a difference yet?” Clarrissa asked him and pointed at the steel sword that Cassander had traded his practice sword for. He looked at it. It was a plain thing, without any embellishments, but serviceable and in decent condition, as far as...
Somewhere between the sky and earth the freezing cold rain crystalized into snow. It would have been lovely if it wasn't for the fact that the sleet it created was horrendous. This was Elowen's first time in the city during such conditions and she did not enjoy it at all. In Mistral, one could hide...
The Dawnstar Social Club, once called the Dawnstar Casino, is a quiet cornerstone of Glass Quarter social life. It sits on the lower streets of the Quarter where property values are a bit more flexible, close to the Earth Gate. It still has all the flash and glitter of a...
Rakvald had a mind to improve his skill with a blade. He had two of them, two masterwork kukris that had been with him since the days of Quacia. Lop the larger one, and Chop the ordinary sized one. He was capable of using them both at once, to a point. Mostly he just used one then the other, and...
Lora was small. Young. One lone girl against the world, who the humble carpenter Mallec Dufont wouldn’t be able to help sympathizing with. He’d also been against the world once, with no one but a lone girl as his shield. He’d always been the gentle one of the...
