42 Vhalar 516 AV

Cling, smack, a little rain of nails on the white stone below broad, white sails, as nobles trotted salt-washed streets and the clamor of shipwrights thundered over the pitter-pattering feet. Their coin jingle jangled down the way, altering the market to new customers in the bay,...

Vhalar 6, Arc 716

The streets reeked with rotting bodies and the scent of blood left a bitter scent in the air. There was no wind almost as if it shied away from the sight of the city attacked and conquered. Finn hasn't slept much in the past few trials. There was a steady influx of the...

10th of Saun, arc 716

It was a rare day for Sor'ren, mostly because he was actually sitting downstairs in the inn of the Golden Flask, instead of his room, writing his numbers. The wooden floor was crackling under the feet of few large men entering the bar. They were sweaty, and two of them were...

3 Vhalar, 716

Tei'serin watched as the last of her students gathered up their things, and trickled out of the classroom. Sorin had been the last to leave. Tei'serin couldn't help but feel uneasy in his presence. He was a child, and her student, true; but he was also his son. She and Sorin both...

39th of Vhalar, Arc 716

Luden, Alistair called to the Lotharro, who'd slept in the main room of the cabin they'd both been staying in - a room Alistair quickly made his way to after the events of minutes prior. The man rose quickly to his feet, balling his fists and readying into a stance, eyes...

58th of Ashan, Arc 716

It was late afternoon. The sun had begun to set, and Alistair had gone to his studies within the halls of the Coven headquarters. All day, and for curious reasons, apprentices left and right continued to check in on him - some informed him they'd be happy to assist his needs...

52nd of Vhalar, Arc 716

He could hear the hooting of an owl from outside of the window, and the howling of wolves in the distant woods. Alistair had made his way to an abandoned cabin in the forest, invited here by a briefly worded letter. It listed the location of the cabin alone, ending with the...

50th of Vhalar, Arc 716

From his room within the Coven's quarters, Alistair grew unruly. He'd begun to ponder, curiously, the next step of the Rupturing - advanced Compression, beginning with the Sundials. The mage rose to his feet, stepping to the corner of the wall and twisting his palm as an...

48th of Vhalar, Arc 716

And now, he began, opening the black Grimoire given to his possession by the Lich Malgoth. Before him stood a line of students - younger ones, eager. Ne'haeren dissidents - people of disreputable taste in the land they came from, seeking for a new family among strangers....

The night is dark, but the morning is full of terrors. Early Vhalar sees a rise in attacks by mysterious shadow creatures, and there is nowhere in Idalos not affected by the blight. In Ne'haer, the factions heading the city are scrambling to muster a response, and it is up to the citizenry to band...

716th arc Vhalar 40th

If there is any good thing about inferiority, it is the drive it gives for improvement. Symbri sat in her room groaning as her muscles ached and her joints creaked, the restoration of Ne’Haer was troublesome to say the least, though it was for a good cause the fact that all...

2nd Of Vhalar Evening Hours

The city had erupted into chaos, wild shadow beasts had descended into the city streets kill murdering there way through pleebs and poppers. And while those with skill and talent valiantly stepped up to selflessly play hero Adam had other much more selfish plans. As...

Dusk was falling as he sat just inside the woods, eyes cast to the silhouette of the city not far off. The horse shifted beneath him, snorting dust from its nostrils. Valkan's hand ran over the hard leather cuirass strapped behind the mount's saddle. It was blazened with the ensign of Hiladirth,...

7 Vhalar 716 The suns were just coming up as he left his small home, heading directly into the woods with his bow. Sigurd knew he needed to hunt that trial. The venison he'd scored the weeks before was running low, and he could only forage for so long before it was time again. He knew the woods...

1 Vhalar, 716

Tei'serin stood with her feet apart, and her back straight. Her katana was held loosely in her hands as she took a short break from her practice. But as her breath evened out, she tightened her grip on the hilt, and she raised the sword above her head. Then she swung downwards in a...

Ne'haer fights back

There was chaos in the streets. It wasn't that there was no defenses being mounted, it was the respite that scared the people the most. When darkness came, so too fled the shadows....

3 Vhalar, 716

The children were frightened. It was obvious in the way they held themselves; small, and still. They didn't laugh and talk loudly among themselves as they waited for her to start class. Instead, they spoke in subdued whispers if they spoke at all. The older students had a better idea...

61st of Vhalar
The day was a rather calm one all things considered, with earlier days well enough in mind. Oscar crossed his arms and leaned against the side of a building. One that had been abandoned, or rather had the inhabitants killed with the earlier events of the season. He looked up at the...

20th Saun 714
Rorom was sailing into port at Ne'haer, riding the current leading into the city, lowering his sails and tying knots. A day out to sea, he'd come across a bird, an albatross of all things. The poor beast had been floating in the water, minding its business when Rorom's ship rammed...

Wanted Dead: Meera Forwyth, an Aukari escaped convict known as the Pyromancer, has been setting fire to several of the farming settlements outside of Ne'haer. She has caused tens of thousands of gold nels in damage and must be stopped immediately......

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
