The wagon train had come to rest along a woodland road. Caravanners made ready the camp, and Garrod hopped off the wagon, armored up as he was. He stretched, this way and that, and his cuirass rattled with his movement. "Think I saw a beach down the eastern side of the trail," he said as he...

VEL LUIN Caeso Diemut had not yet been to the storied harbor city of Vel Luin. Even before he reached the harbor proper, he could see over the rooftops the massive Twins looming, the huge statues which marked the seaside entrance—these being Vel Luin's most iconic feature. Trade flowed through...

Splssh! The yellow green water of the bayou burst open, and from it a horror all too common amongst the saltmarsh cordgrass of the Bayou. A skeletal visage peered out from under the decayed remnants of underwater weeds, it's body language showing clear signs of bewildered confusion. It's head...

"What is he here for, starving? This poor bastard looks like he hasn't even laid eyes on a crumb in weeks, let alone eaten one." The wretched heat that baked the city of Dornoch with the fury of a particularly harsh summer sank through the shoddy walls of the makeshift jailhouse that Alyxander...

"So you fired your arch-mage..." Desmene prompted. "Yes..." replied Duke Ardlenton. He insisted on meeting the group of people who had come from far and wide to answer his request for help. He insisted on wearing his heavy chains of office too. "But when, after that falling out, he sent your...

Days turned into weeks, weeks into months spent out at sea with few stops along the way for essentials and trades. The sea was a vast wide open wonder full of new discoveries, adventures, opportunities, danger but most importantly - Silence. A mixture of everything she desired most in life. Of...

It had been a little bit since Alana had joined in on a raid much less with Northern raiders. She neither knew who they were nor what their purpose for their raid was. The only thing she had knowledge of is what her contractor had given her. She had traveled to the northern land, to that...

Alliria. A thriving city, built upon the greed of many, where wealth is power. This was the same city Dauner had established the Reaper's Den in. With the initial framework for his plans in place, all he needed to do was sit back and wait. Once he'd amassed a suitable army, he would find, or...

The juggernaut guards remained stoic as they traveled with Kailyn. Gerra's guard for her. She used to wonder if they were sent with her as much to keep her safe as it was to keep her in the Empire. She truly doubted the latter. The Emperor had more important things to worry about than one...

The forest outside Snowmelt... Luna guided her horse to a stop at the side of the path and swept her gaze through the nearby forest but caught neither hide nor hair of their quarry. If it indeed existed in the manner the rumors stated. She had to admit, she very much doubted their accuracy...

Princess, soon to be Queen, Esmerelda paced back and forth in her chamber. In simply a matter of hours the castle doors would open and nobles, allies, trades masters the like would be flooding into her ballroom. Today was her eighteenth birthday and not only was this ball being held for...

Fritz was lying awake in his bed, the time about midnight. He reflected on all the things he had done throughout his life, and it amounted to zip. The clang of metal came into his mind. Clang, Bang, Shing, over and over. He dismissed it as nothing, and went out for a walk to clear his head...

Thunder clouds rolled across the sky pulled by the Goddess Neket and her four strong slate grey horses. If the myths were to be believed it was the force of their hooves hitting the sky with such speed that caused the flashes of brilliant light that illuminated the clouds from within. A single...

Hey everyone. I'm looking for a semi-open ended plot to RP with my first character here. The concept I have in mind is that the story begins with my character being a very minor person of power, e.g. a knight with only a small amount of very poor land, and for the RP I was thinking my character...

This art belongs to me, please do not use without permission Raea was never fond of crowds. It wasn’t that she didn’t like people—no. She loved people, for all their complexities. People did not like her very much, she decided. She was a strange, golden-eyed girl. Too pretty to be beautiful...

Well. It hadn't gone quite to plan but then, when had any of her schemes? Lottie's face was smudged with soot and ash from the fire that had torn through a part of the festivities but her smile shone through the muck like the moon on a cloudy night. She'd long ago ditched the pretence of Layla...

Just a few hours southeast of Belgrath, tucked snugly in a rocky pocket of mountain side lies a small little mining town called Osteriam. A hotspot for criminals to hide out due to it's smaller size and rather well-hidden location behind the large rock faces that surrounded it. Gangs often...

In The Beginning... They say life is a story, that it has a beginning, a middle, and an end but life isn't an ordinary tale especially when romance, family secrets affairs, and deadly battle both physical and mental that loom around this sort of tale... It started with the wind, the wind which...

Jorinn, Trading Village on the edge of the Eldyr Forest "I be tellin' yer -- it were no normal fuckin' moose!" The man's incredulous voice only brought more laughter from the townsfolk who had stopped to hear the ragged traders tales. When he had first rolled into town with his brightly...

THE SPINE KNIGHT'S REST "It... appeared." The men in the tavern all nodded in unison. "Started out with trees poppin' up.." "Then it was them damn roads in the woods!" "Now we got old farms, houses, taverns, where they shouldn't be!" Arnor could hardly believe himself, them. But the Bounty...
