Something simple? You think so little of the way of the sword then boy?!

Coraliv Docks Blood flowed from a cut on Angharad's scalp. She'd been too slow in the melee but the return strike had near took off her opponent's arm. She reeled back towards the gangplank, her voice clarion clear, "Cast off!" The marines on the dock made their withdrawal as best they could...

All those in the city could do was endure. The defensive artillery did its best to fire back but the artifice of Vel Anir seemed to outrange all but their heaviest pieces. The city had to target moving objects, the siege vessels had the entire island to aim at. At least those manning the walls...

It had been a frantic day. Elves as a rule did not panic. They moved with practiced grace, following the maxim that haste meant waste. Practically immortal, time didn't have the same worry for them that the lesser races felt. That was not the case today. The hours until sundown had been...

Coraliv Docks The elves had always been seafarers. The ocean called to them as strongly as the woods, stars, or mountains. The empire might have fallen, the great forest felled, but their ships still plied the sea lanes. Strategic ports, garrisons, and outposts, kept their reach longer than an...

I imagine the Falwood is the main thing that comes to mind when people think of elves. Even the ones with little connection to it probably still revere it some shape or form since it's what's left of the primeval forests that once covered Arethil. Whatever scattered garrisons, ports, outposts...

"When the Dead do walk, seek water’s run, For this the Dead will always shun. Swift river’s best or broadest lake To ward the Dead and haven make. If water fails thee, fire’s thy friend; If neither guards, it will be thy end." Angharad was reminded of the old rhyme as she stood on the bridge...

Angharad had the grace to grimace slightly. She knew humans had far shorter lifespans but even still, fifteen was far too short a life. "It is the kindest thing to do in most cases" she said, taking care to keep her words neutral. "They may seem the same but they aren't. I've heard of the...

The horse quickly grew accustomed to its new rider as Lia took them westward. Angharad's ears pricked up, letting the familiar forest sounds soothe her. The birdcalls were different, so were many of the trees, but it still reminded her of the Falwood and home. The wildness of the Reach was...

The geckan squealed in defiance, its cries silenced as Angharad took its head off. Angharad stepped over its corpse, moving with calm grace. It was the geckans worst nightmare. Two giant warriors out of legend and myth come to destroy them. Those who fled towards the beast were torn limb from...

The horse snorted at unfamiliar faces but Angharad calmed it with a caress and soothing words in Elvish. "What direction do we take then Ranger?" she asked Lia . She tightened her sword belt and adjusted her armour. She couldn't call herself a knight if she drank in the tavern while a killer was...

The orc seemed oblivious to the fact that he'd been poisoned. The geckans poison seemed to have done little to slow him. Their improvised missiles had even less effect. The brute showed his species talents now as he dragged the cart over towards them. The weight didn't seem to bother him and the...

The smart geckans were the ones who fled to the safety of the shop. It was the slack jawed gawkers, the greedy, and the stupid who lingered in the street. They died mercifully swift deaths. Those not killed outright were brained by the halfling with her makeshift club. She slammed against the...
