Travelers, merchants, adventures, as long as you don’t break the law, you will be welcomed with open arms and kept safe by the snake-like founders and leaders of this fortress city.

Discussion Thread
Hey there! Feel free to discuss anything here, just keep it appropriate and follow the rules. We will sometimes post information in here as well!
Since this city is open, but without a dedicated moderator, we thought we'd try out a new idea. This thread will be used for a community created calendar. Players and staff alike can submit ideas here for a calendar for the Hot Cycle of 719. This should be compared to the...

Torqin was awoken from his brief slumber by the sound of coughing. It was a constant these trials. The plan had been to leave Ivorian, but that had been ground to a halt. With needing to find more information on the Webspinners, they'd stayed just a bit too long. And before they...
The Ocean Gate was truly a sight to behold. The walls of Yithiral rose high, casting a long shadow over the docks as Rorom floated into port with his crew. He stood on the deck of his ship with a wheel barrow full of fish and bivalves. Meanwhile, Mirq, Eairok, and Noille were...
11th Ashan, 719
T he wee hours of morning had come and gone, and sunlight filtered through the curtains of Pharan’s room in shades of red and orange. Motes of dust danced in the air, stirring in the memory of past commotion. Somewhere below, a scullery-maid busied herself in the kitchen; unseen,...
Waking up and stretching his feet in the morning had always been Arc’s favorite pastime of the day. Looking through the window while sitting in his bed always put a smile on his face. He loved seeing the Ithecals bustling around, doing their business to start the day. He also...
6th Ashan, 719
T hey alley was a dark, crooked thing. Too narrow for two men to walk abreast, it wound its way around ramshackle warehouses and one-storied residential buildings before ending in a dank cul-de-sac. Twenty feet before that, a staircase broke away to the right. Worn steps dropped...
1st of Cylus, 719
The young dragon woke up with a tingly feeling all over his body. There was no trace of pain lingering, as if they were never there to begin with. Well. Maybe there never were any pain. He might just have a very bad dream, a nightmare. That was all. To be honest, Arc felt...
It was exactly five breaks after midnight according to his hourglass. He had remained vigilant all night as he laid in bed and counted the breaks as it went by. Arc Perscivious was just too excited of what he was about to do today. He immediately sprung out from his...
“…and that’s Aurelian, Tulis‘ husband. He runs the smithy.”
From his position on the other side of the street, Pharan watched a dark skinned Ithecal sharpen a heavy, two-edged sword. A ram fur rode the broad line of his shoulders, his only concession to...
4th Ashan, 719
H e had first spotted her at the market, preoccupied in her study of a woolen shawl. Then again, two, three breaks later, half-hidden in the dark of an alleyway, the shadow of her wings painted across the pockmarked hide of an old storehouse. He didn’t think she followed him, not...
3rd Ashan, 719
T he tavern Orik had led them to, was a hole in the wall down at the harbor-front. The one-storeyed building crouched low amidst the humble abodes of Yrithal’s lower class citizens; modest, but, upon entry, not nearly as shabby as Pharan had suspected.
3rd Ashan, 719
T he warmth had lured them out in troves. Sailors. Soldiers. Fishermen. Men and woman pursuing business in the narrow cobblestone streets of the lower districts. The hum of a myriad of voices, of half a dozen tongues, filled the air. Meltwater murmured in the gutters, but the sky...
28th Cylus, 719
T he men had entered as a group—half a dozen burly figures in the rough-spun weave of sailors. Hard-faced and wary-eyed, they crossed the crowded taproom with disciplined, measured steps. Some of them were armed. Knives and daggers mostly, but Pharan could also see a gladius or...
The room lurched under their feet, and Captain Varsix struck a defiant pose with both scaled hands clasped at the small of her back, refusing to budge and digging the bared claws of her feet into the hardwood. Onell pushed one hand against the ceiling to steady himself. Of...
1st of Ymiden, 718, Early Morning, Yithiral Square
There was an air of excitement over Yithiral this morning. Ethelynda had declared that there was to be an announcement of great import, and many of the townspeople had gathered in the square. Those new to the city would be able to feel the esteem...
Very few clubs that deal in the pleasures of the flesh brazenly parade their identity with such blasé. The Serpent's Kiss is one of them. Though it caters to such a niche audience, it's raucous streetside displays have made it just short of a household name, most commonly used...
With a loud thud the axe slammed down to the floor, Varlum's arms shaking as he paused for a few trills. Wielding an axe of that size was hard work, and swinging it just as difficult. Combine that with how long he had been working as of late and how little rest he had got and...
61st Ashan 718
Immediately following this
Tessa Anders could not remember when the last time was that she'd cried. Benji, her husband, had bemoaned that fact and it had angered him that she had stopped sobbing as he abused her, but she could not bring herself to pretend. She could make the...
The First Market is a dense sprawl of thin alleyways and wide-open plazas filled with items collected from all over the world. The space was once designed to be a fanciful region for only the most esteemed veterans to spend the rest of their days, but as the wars and battles...
Boring, isn't it? Watching everyone else leave and being stuck here with the ship.
Tahei jumped as the thoughts of exploring port fled from his mind. Six months and he'd been confined to the ship that entire time. At each new city, he could only watch in wonder as his family...
