The cities and villages of Melrath are as varied and diverse as they come. The capital of Raelia is the the jewel of this western kingdom, playing host to a merchants, artisans, Aesir priests, as well as a cut throat political landscape dominated by the nobles of Raelia. To the south in the depths of the Myrkvior Forest lies Melrath's second largest, and oldest city, Fensalir. Here people have learned to live alongside spirits and the natural world by maintaining their loyalty to traditions laid down the first Melrathi. To the east lies the small fishing village of Noatun, and to the western mountains rests the Mer city of Verimeer, the brewing town of Alivilda and the alpine village Vormund.

The ether rains that fell earlier in Ymiden of 720 have abated, and in their wake, the waters of Svariella have taken on a prismatic coloration. Even when bottled and removed, the waters project a colorful rainbow when held to the light, that shimmers and ripples with life....
It was the middle of the night when Azrael felt Tollak Ra shaking him awake. He instinctively reached for his sword but Tollak stopped him with a gesture and assured him there was no coming danger. Azrael sat up an yawned, he blinked a few times...
While Tristan had enjoyed the rain at first and found the sound that it made when it touched the roof or the windows relaxing and even comforting, he couldn’t wait for it to end now. The weather that had dominated the season so far made being outside not particularly enjoyable,...
It had started to rain again. The storms of Ashan had continued into Ymiden, blanketing the entire landscape in moisture. The sound that the raindrops made when they touched the windows, or the roof, reminded Tristan of some sort of drum. Had it been any louder, he might have...
I'm not doing the whole trip on foot. Azrael complained as he adjusted his saddle on his horse a little bit. Tollak Ra, the Ydalir ranger who'd become somewhat of a friend to the mortalborn without ever learning his name, had a few trials off...
Azrael and Tollak Ra found themselves traveling through the wilderness together again on the twenty third of Ymiden. There'd been a recent string of attacks getting closer and closer to Fensalir so Tollak was sent to go out into the forest and...
4 Ymiden 720 | Azrael Blackfire | Fensalir, The Old Ruin
The Ydalir from the village, known as Tollak Ra, introduced himself when his shift ended and he met Azrael in the agreed on place. Azrael avoided his name by jumping in with questions and Tollak assured him he would know in a few moments....
1st - The Sleeping Heart Stirs Again
A group of tunawa are found nearby one of the longhouses of House Imair. They have gone into their deep freeze, and sleep has fallen on them. Yet not before they apparently had the chance to scrawl a message on the door of the...
2 Saun 721 - House of Healing
Sivnne requests Visna's help while preparing herbs in a guise to better understand the younger Druid and to decide if the potential she sees in her is worth taking her on as an initiate in Attunement. Saun wealth thread. Will be written once sinus crap is over ;(
81 Ymiden 721 - House of Healing
Despite their differences, Visna finally takes Sivnne's offer and seeks her out to get answers to her questions. Will be written once sinus crap is over ;(
70 Ymiden - Meeting Hall
Visna seeks answers during her downtime in Noatun and begins looking into the quake and tidal wave that hit the village in the Hot Cycle of 719.
74 Ymiden 721 - NW of the Old Ruins
Post contains mentions of calendar events :
- Brushfires from the 50th-83rd of Ymiden

Everyone in the Druid contingent sent from Raelia to assist in the bushfires that currently ravaged eastern Melrath was...
74 Ymiden 721 - The Old Ruins
Calendar event : “Outlanders, Redux”
Continued from here
The younger Druid remained mystified over what she had just witnessed and she missed what the other Druid said. Her mind was a jumble of questions and hypotheticals as she tried to make sense of it all that...
10 Ymiden 721 - Draugen Bay Harbour
Using the Calendar event Turbulence & Treasure
Continued from here and here .
Wylem appeared confused at first, looking at the extended hand and then up to the one who offered it but Visna remained steadfast. He took it in time and the small Druid had to...

Using the Calendar event Turbulence & Treasure
Continued from here .
Visna held the man’s faraway gaze, searching, willing more to come from that one word. Frustratingly, he said nothing more and resumed his stiff rocking and incoherent mumbling. The...
Things certainly did move slowly in the grand scheme but Azrael found ways to keep himself entertained in the time between. Things had been strange ever since he allowed the spirits to mark his face but only because he found it easier to access places...
10 Ymiden 721 - Yggdrasil Citadel
Nestled within one of the many aromatic storerooms of the Healing’s Hall, Visna was rhythmically going through the motions of cutting up clean linen cloth for fresh bandages. It was a mindless task of repetition: layering the last strip over the cloth long enough...
When the Defender Need Protection
7th of Ashan 710
Jasper Rel Ardiechy
“We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost...
After a long, good sleep, Evangeline had to admit that she was feeling a bit better. While not optimal, releasing the emotions she had the trial before had helped a tremendous amount. They were still there, of course, but they held a little less power than previously.
Azrael had waited all season for the singular moment that he would return to the abandoned tavern in Raelia and continue his quest. That was probably his greatest flaw. He'd become so enamored with one quest that he let the rest of his...
Weather: No specific entry. 5 trials after the end of bad snow storms.
Calendar: No specific entry.
Kain was sitting on a barrel next to the railing of his ship, huddled up under his cloak. It wasn't quite as cold as it was a few trials ago, the sun coming out a...
So how does a man get out of a rut, of a bad spot? Firstly, of course, Peake had to climb his way out of his death bed. As best he could, he managed to flop onto his belly and push himself off the floor. His coughing fit persisted still, crippling him...
