Another morning, another day of monotony, at least for Ivy. The poor beggar girl that washed upon The Shallows from a far away island. For several of years now, she had suffered in extreme poverty. Having nothing but the tattered rags she took from a washing line, she had adapted to living in...

Lord Vexion's heart was heavy. The boy's corpse was brought before the Allirian Council chambers a week ago. Yet every night, he saw the image of his dead eyes when he closed his own. Usually, his dreams were of a different sort. The voices of the Helm had burned each of their voices into his...

"Son of a-" The tall young man stuck his thumb into his mouth. A sharp inhaled followed as he waved his hand erratically in the air. A very upset look on his face. Eyes filled with ire towards the source of his pain. ANOTHER random piece of wood had fallen from the ceiling onto his hand...

"You there, mercenary, step forward-no no, that is close enough. I cannot have you accidentally ruining my clothes. They're made from the finest silks that the east has to offer, you see. Why am I bothering explaining this? Anyways, let us speak of business. My latest consignment was absconded...

"1-1-1...2." A meaty right hook slammed into the ribcage section of a wooden dummy, snapping the dummy in half. Damn, that was the third one today. He had only been at his workout for an hour. He would need to be more careful until the boys could get the next supply of practice dummies. It...

The last thing you'd remember before you got yourself in this predicament is travelling from Alliria towards the direction of Elbion. It was a well trodden path you'd travelled the last place you'd expect anything to happen with it's busy foot traffic. As you were travelling on this path you...

The sun was close to setting when Alteria arrived in the city of Alliria. He had been on the road for weeks, but if all goes well, he only needed to stop in the city for a night to restock before he heads out once more, and hopefully with another pair of hands or two with him. Though he had...
