allir reach

The inhospitable and frigid winter air was unrelenting and oppressive at this height. It kept Viego wide eyed. Although a boon at this time of night, he vehemently despised its intrusive behavior. He knew this was the worst possible time to take a job, yet he did it anyway. The man residing...

To Lady Batahlia, I hope this letter finds you in good health and that the Celestials have blessed you with their grace. Word has reached my ear that your Lord Father is in bad health. I ask that you give him my kindest regards. My own father had grown quite fond of him during one of his tours...

It trudged along the wide, cart-worn path, a mass of shifting black cloth beneath a large and heavy burden. The being known only as "the Pilgrim" was pitiful to behold: bent over, dragging each footstep, seeming as though the weight of his pack would crush him at any moment. Despite the pain of...

[art cred] “N-no please, don’t come closer!” Scrabbling away into the corner of the alley, Shiloh could faintly hear the push of long oars through gentle waters. She could hear birds cooing and cawing, people whistling or murmuring. Meanwhile, the frail woman had pressed her clammy palms firmly...

In the wild plains of Allir Reach... Stars shone brightly that night and the breeze was gentle, barely enough to push the grass of the massive plains. The land outstretched before him without a sign or even hint of civilization, emphasizing how far he was from his village. Elis added another...

Somewhere near the Allir Stone Portal... This is different. The boy gave his grubby fingers a wiggle, confusion etching its way over his bruised and grimy face. Thick, dark brows gave a quick furrow in a tight, deep vee, his attention turning to pan at his verdant surroundings. Where is...

Greyrock castle was a heavy, unyielding structure. Thick square walls and stout towers stood tall against the purple eastern sky. The crash of the sea was a constant background, stretching infinite and cold behind the castle in a churning, velvet-black expanse. All was not darkness, however, for...

"I swear I don't know nothing about anything," the battered sellsword plead. Cato stood not two feet from his pathetic peer and said nothing. The Blackshield captain looked towards the rest and only saw his shared skepticism reflected in their faces. Hard eyes found the beaten brute's body once...

ALLIRIA "This isn't an indulgence of your whims, Initiate Pirian," Proctor Magomo said. He stood watching over her, his arms crossed, as she collected her belongings and supplies into her travel pack. "This is a chance for you to make something of yourself." "Yes, Proctor Magomo," Kristen...

Half a year. That was how long it took to build a thousand strong military power in the Allir Reach. Although many will consider this time too short for such an organisation to have gained stability, Dauner had put in all the knowledge accumulated over the course of his several millennia of life...

Konrad's eyes slowly opened. Three-fourths of his body lay buried in the demp soil. All around him unfolded a sprawling patch of woodland, devoid of any presence save for a scarce few animals that inhabited it. The trees lashed and crashed against each other like drum sticks in the hands of a...

The Sovereign Order! Pretty haughty name, I know. But that just goes to show how far they aim to get in the near future. Hi guys! Just finished laying the groundwork for my martial order, and I'm looking for people who are interested in joining in on our shenanigans. But first, I believe a...

It was a regular day in the Life of Stephen Milon. His medium-small store, with shelves filled with magical objects was recieving an average ammount of customers. "There you go, a homing compass with a homing point. That would be [insert ammount here]. Thank you for your purchase." While...

"Simply put, my son's a bloody fool. Never had a mind for business, though he could spend coin well enough. Didn't care much what he got up to so long as he kept his head down. Had a couple close calls, sure, but nothing a full purse couldn't remedy. Not this time, he went and properly fucked...

“Can’t make any promises, but give me a few days. I owe ye that much.” The Knight Anathaeum nodded his appreciation, genuinely happy to hear anything that was not an outright rejection. He knew from Rulgak’s description and his own experience that there was little chance that the material they...

OOC/ Unlike the title, open to up to 2 others. "Please, don't!" Lorinna called out. She had her longsword held in two hands, blade pointing in a straight line towards the bandits. They had pushed a pushed a tree across the road, forcing the carriage to stop. Now they formed a semicircle on...

There, among the prominent faces of Hertstead and the few she recognized as Allirian, Iseppa endeavored to be, for the moment, little more than ornamentation. A feat she had mastered long ago. She listened to tedious gossip, engaged in warm wishes and idle chatter, drank her fair share—enough to...

The one to the left ran his hand though his hair whenever he thought that he had a winning hand. He hadn't touched those almond locks in over three games. People always thought that it was luck, in the beginning. They'd watch him play a couple games, and think that they had him figured out. It...

Councilor Vexion took a moment to enjoy the scene the gods had painted before him as the ship he was on rocked back and forth on the waters of the Allirian Strait. A tapestry of purples, pinks, and oranges were arrayed before him. As a boy, his mother used to tell him that moments of silence...

It was a day just like any other in Alliria. The city bustling with activity slowly went to sleep as darkness fell. That night in the outer city, a local drunk was making his way home from the tavern. He'd just had a fight with some thug and got kicked out, without having got drunk enough. As he...
