The resolution that came with Nere's accepted apology was tentative. A thin smile from Lechies, and a sheepish titter from Nere in response. Not so strange, considering how early it still was in the day, and their alliance was only the day long. Lechies offered the lead to her, a sign of trust...

Nere's expression was funny as she sat there upon the ice, like she'd smelled something off. "Not a good enough way to keep everyone's attention," she mourned, watching the woman she'd run into leave the rink. But in the watching, she got a better idea about how to get back on her feet...

"Ugh, sorry about that," Nere groaned out as the pain of the impact hit her. The person Nere had run into was in good enough shape to crack a joke as she untangled herself from the wreckage, which Nere took as a good sign. A foot came up, blade and all, a little too close to Nere's nose. She...

A goofy grin spread across Nere's face, the same way it always did when she found Alex teasing her. "That would be a much more engaging point, if I knew what a penguin was." The ice slicked under her blades in slippery slices. Every few feet, she teetered dangerously, swimming out her arms in...

The mood changed. Nere let the tension roll out of her shoulders, and the frohoggin behind her did the same. "Well, that's that. Think I'll head back to shore, now." The frohoggin's boat rocked some as Nere jumped out of it, the waters coming up to her waist. The larger frohoggin began to...

The Inner Branches District Winter time on the mainland was exhilarating! They didn't get weather like this back in the bayou. The novelty of snow and ice and flushed cheeks and foggy breath and cute mittens hanging from strings off people's belts hadn't worn off on Nere yet. She was having...

Nere was a lover of food that came in big portions and smelled strongly of one thing - and by the gods, did the Great Impasta deliver on that front. The wet slop of the tomato-sauced sandwich soothed Nere's soul. There was a little jar of pickled yellow somethings on the table next to her, and...

All the krait upon the shore decided that whatever was wafting out of Garrod and that gauntlet of his was far more enticing than anything anyone else had to offer. Nere watched with grim set expression as they circled him, frozen by the sight of it. Green flashed upon the shore, and the force of...

Nere nodded along earnestly as the captain of the Cloud Tracer spoke of being discrete. She seemed not to pick up on the heads that turned their way as they walked down the boardwalk, or the double meaning as Alex winked at her. "... the real treasure?" Nere repeated, tilting her head with a...

The spell was working! Nere felt her blood turn to flame as the ooze in a radius around her turned to smoke and ash. That smoke hung in the air, even after Nere's fire ran out and the goo at her feet stopped smouldering. She panted for breath, but each lungful was just making her more...

It feels like a lot of what is being requested here (highlighting smaller regional plotlines, new member engagement, rewards for exploration) can be achieved with one of the tools that's currently on the website. The quest board already allows players to put up plot hooks in specific areas and...

Up ahead, Priestess Ushus and a woman Nere had never seen before were speaking to each other. Until they stopped, and an arrow pierced the woman with a powerful jolt of force. That must be Taayi. And this, the pulse of black and red mass congealing below her, this was the putrid nest that Nere...

Under the water, claws and hands scrabbled and thrashed. Nere twisted with a kick, and the krait dove with a gnash of its ragged teeth. They both missed each other, dragged down by the weight of the water. Then, the krait did something strange. With a whip of its cordlike tail, it turned and...

"To the soldiers! Lets go!" The words cut through to Nere even in her frantic state. Her stormy eyes cleared some, and she saw the winged woman running forward, to regroup with the guard. Nere turned and did the same. In the throng of guards, they continued to fight. Sparks flew behind Nere...
