Kisaik had left much of his metal equipment at home, as well as his dragonling and dragonet companions, as their metallic nature would not be a benefit in the town of Lightning and Storms. He embarked from Sweetsong aboard his own ship, the living tree ship, The Waking Dreamer. It's leafy sails...

Unpacking

Eli had left to go and get the large case and Perdita looked around the room. She had a room at the Inn here in Volta and it was a perfectly nice room - but she was having trouble focusing on it. Because Eli had spoken to her outside, he'd said things to her and, since then, her mind...

“A warrior believes in
an end she can’t see
and fights for it.
A warrior never gives up.
A warrior fights for
those weaker than herself.
It sounds like
motherhood to me.”
—Kristin Hannah,
“The Four Winds”

The message had come from Vega requesting that Genna help her with the Volta...

Aiding Those Less Fortunate

There was something going on in Volta and Perdita had been assigned to go and find out what. Rumour had it that there was a need of aid and so she, as a Thunder Priestess of no rank, no standing and no renown, had been sent to see what was happening. She was under no...

After The Meeting: Settling In
Following this and this

She'd had the meeting, now, she'd walked the place and she'd chatted to folk. Then, she’d spoken to Eli – a young engineer that she’d met – and now they were back and all looking at her.

Now, it was time to really start, Vega knew. She...

Timestamp: 7th of Ymiden
Location: Volta

It was a typical day in Volta, which is to say that there was an overabundance of lightning strikes. But that morning, people near the entrance closest to Rharne noticed the lightning behaving oddly, drawn to...

Ymiden 70, Arc 725

A thunderous boom could be heard just as the ship they had booked passage on sailed into the port of Volta, followed by a low hum.

Ebony Venora abruptly stepped away from the railing where she had been standing in order to take...

Beneath the Dust

The Meeting was done and Vega knew that she needed to go and find out a few things. Mostly, about this warehouse. What was it, what was kept there, and why on Idalos would you have a locked up warehouse when the place was like it was? Vega wasn't really bothered why, she needed...

Immediately following the meeting , Vega had made some discoveries - some of which were far from pleasant. But, being who she was, Vega knew that she had to stay focused and get on with the job. That night, she'd agreed with Eli that she and he...

Meeting I

The ruined but still standing civic hall looked as if its soul had been stormed away: huge beams were half fallen, floorboards splintered, and wall glyphs scorched by a past coal‑fire that still pulsed faintly. Unseasonal rain pattered against broken stained glass, hissing as it...

Arriving In Volta

Vega walked into Volta.

She knew about it, having lived in Rharne, and she knew that metal was a Very Bad Plan there, so she'd opted not to fly in on Martha, her small dragonet. Just in case the whole Vindecaldra thing meant that Martha had metal or something - or in case the...

Willowherb Inn

Willowherb Inn, in Rosebay, stands close to the stables, allowing travellers to settle their mounts there without issue. It is built of rammed earth, with a tiled roof. The walls are limewashed white, for protection and to improve the amount of usable light inside. Rosebay...

Foreshadowing Problins

It was a nice breezy day on the banks of the Zynyx River, not far from Zynyx Market, and the beaches just beyond that stretch of clay and muddy shoreline. The sky was only partly cloudy, shining with two hot suns down on the sands. Cazuth breathed in the air, and lashed...

The note was still fresh with the scent of the fine papyrus it was written on, and ink perfumed with the scent that recalled a note of coriander and honeysuckle. It semlled like Nashaki, and he could feel the sun's heat fresh on the note, as if it could transport him back to the desert. He would...
