A day after the battle on Cortosi Coast, the Paladin, Nathaniel Jameson made his return to the merchant city, having been victorious in destroying his old enemy, Zasz. It had only been a week since he had seen his old childhood home, but it felt like longer after the recent events. The place...

The heft of the hammer felt good in her hand. The heat pouring off the furnace dispelled the cool of early spring, and together the work and the heat worked a sheen to her pale skin. Maranae was happy. She had been happy for some time now, ever since arriving here in this city alongside Guslan...

A flare of red-hot pain in her chest and stomach reminded Everleigh that she couldn’t over exert herself. Only hours later from her brief brawl with the letai she had encountered on the Lucky Star, her broken rib (or two, she had little time to assess the damage) was screaming to make itself...

Glass and splintered wood crunched under his feet as he stepped back out into the street, marsh-haunted night air only just able to mask the scent of offal and blood. The scene inside did not bear witnessing again. The brutality and callousness of what had been done drove spikes of rage into his...

Arthur sighed. Heavily. Dramatically. His world may as well have been ending, for his hand could not make itself write. On his lap sat his journal and next to him, on the stone half-wall where he rested, was his inkwell. It was messily set up, so small splatters of ink seeped into the stone. He...

"Lilianna, dear, I don't even understand why you're allowed to stay here on your own!" "Because, sister, I am old enough. Besides, you were living in this house on your own when you were my age." Gracia rolled her eyes. It had been nearly two years since she was last in Alliria which means...

It was the heist of the century. Not to those who walked tall through the city streets atop two legs, but instead to those of a rodent persuasion. The joint was Crumbs, a famous Outer City bakery renowned throughout Alliria for its fabulous pastries. Their storefront window was a magnificent...

EDICT 3358, ISSUED BY THE COUNCIL OF ALLIRIA ON THE DAY 13 DIAMANT, YEAR 374 Declaration of a Reach-wide Emergency and Invocation of Council Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Vessels Within and Near Allirian Ports. Under the DRAGON PROTECTION ACT of 372...

"Freezing out here..." Teddie thought to himself, trudging toward the location he'd been pointed to. "Surely this must be part of the test to initiate new members." The chill in the air blew his earthy colored clothes in the wind, flapping like sails around him and threatening to lift him into...

Hi! I'm searching for an RP partner for my boy Teddie (Seen here in all his meek insignificance) to show him the ropes and help him build some skills! He's far from an ideal candidate for the Knights, but he's got the spirit! I'm looking for someone who would either be happy to take him as a...

"Shove off!"came the rude reply. The mage simply shrugged in response after bumping shoulders with the stranger. Alliria was as friendly as always. Too many people focused on making their coin. Manners were a tertiary concern at best. Serce couldn't fault them as he was somewhat in a rush...

A scant mile from Alliria proper, the road was wide and welcoming, well maintained to afford ease of passage the various merchants, mercenaries, citizens and ne'er-do-wells that found themselves upon the path to and from the city proper. The sky yielded a brilliant blue which had just shifted...

Casio sucked in the midnight air: autumnal smoke from hearthfires spread across the residences, oil and murk of mudflats about the scattered canals, hints of sweat and laborers' toils. It smelled of Alliria. The simple pleasures of home. A matter of weeks had separated him from the city...

Karnage was stroking the neck of the turkey with his large gray, leathery hands, being as careful as he could be to not hurt it. The big bird was afraid, and rightfully so, having almost died. “Give me back my bird.” A man demanded, pointing his cleaver at the broad shouldered shark-man...

Miz'ri awoke early, the tiny room she shared with Sig still dark as an abyss. She tossed off the large woolen cloak she called a blanket (stolen off a random clothesline after Rook made her assist Giibi with a laundry job) and stood up off the thin mat that was their bed with a yawn. By the...

There were too many people. The thought kept circling her mind over and over as the days wore on. She did not know how much more she could stand of this crowded place, so far from the wild lands that she preferred. The only benefit to being in the city was the fact that she was mostly...

Gwen remembered verry little of the past few months. In all honesty from what she could recall...It was probably for the best. Pain.. Screams.. The voices.. By the abyss the.. She faded back out of consciousness. By her bed Cleo sighed. Dutifully attending to anything her mistresses fit...

The sun had yet to even rise but Rook was already up. Sleep was a right only allowed to Sig. For Rook it was a privilege and one he had given up when accepting that job for Warren. His working gloves on his hands. His only tunic left after giving the other to Tehi the day before on. His good...

The snap of reins was lost to the noise of the crowd. Even so late, Alliria never really slept. Sky alight with thousands of stars and moons absent, the streets were thronged with the many and varied people that called this place their home. Myriad travelers passing on their way through to...

Salty spray splattered Rook's face. The boat rocked under him as the dawn slowly crept up into the sky. His gloved hands yanking the large fishing net up along with the others out of the waves. He hated this sensation. The wet movement. It reminded him of the Shallows. How every board stepped on...
