Alliria: The Outer District, Night Market Blue stone and orange flame as far as the eye could see, and a sky grey with smoke and with hardly a star. It had been some days now since Hector had arrived in the great city. Days under Syr Marta's guidance. Following whatever leads they could. But...

He'd stood before the Allirian Council, his energy radiating like a second sun in the Allir Keep. When the corpses of the little girls from the slums were shown to him, it compelled him to act. Despite his body being weak from previous use, Quintus had stood before his peers in the armor of his...

His mouth was dry. It had been less than a year since Lamik had left home. Less than a year since he had left Fal'Raheal for the first time. He had expected something big, something impressive. He had seen the illustrations and heard the descriptions from merchants and travelers. But this...

Iskandar Estate: Alliria - Main Hall It was such a different thing, Petrus thought, to hold court and receive foreign dignitaries than it was to hold his more... personal gatherings. In one sense it made him feel powerful, deservedly so, but on the other a small part of him wondered if all...

He looked up at the ceiling, watching the flickering shadows from the sole candle on the table. He never very much liked it when he was called down by Inspector Acevedo. It was always risky business, not just because the assignment given to Sig was always the sort that was hard to not die from...

Normally it was Marcus that would handle these business dealings. Felix Urahil had been putting Amell Quillon to work while he recovered in Vel Anir, but everything had been local. Dealing with the Great Houses, making appearances within certain military sectors, and dealing with the unsavory...

The Order of Metisa – Alliria The Order of Metisa located in Alliria remained an odd organization throughout the years. In a way, it functioned as a large source of knowledge to the wider world – similar to a library. Yet unlike a library, few pages and books could be found in the Order’s...

"Lechies." "...mph." "Lechies, we've arrived." Juliote's voice drifted into her ears, gently peeling the veneer of sleep away from Lechies's consciousness. She opened her eyes, awareness strengthening with every blink. The carriage had stopped. Their journey away from Damelin's estate was...

The worst of winter was over, at least. It was not precisely her favored season, even though the cold really had little effect on her slight frame. Here in the eastern reaches of Alliria, amid the city sprawl, she was least at home with the season. The scents of the marshes were muted by the...

It was very rare indeed that a trip to the Shallows of Alliria was something that appealed to Erren Serris. Most of the folk living amongst the swampy docks and mist covered boardwalks distrusted him. Serris wasn't the 'Tower Folk' from the west side of the city that they frowned upon so often...

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...

The Forum Allirium sat within the heavy walls of the Allir Keep, cloistered away within an inner courtyard. It was comprised of carefully tended gardens, fountains, and seated gathering places. The natural beauty of the gardens were connected by wide, circling paths paved by white stones. The...

For the past few weeks there had been a series of thefts in Alliria. The only items that were stolen were high class paintings meant to be sold to Annuakat nobility and merchants. The local merchants of Alliria grew more and more nervous by the day and the wealthier ones increased security...

It was near on the witching hour, and the bar on the outskirts of the Allirian capital was bustling with a comfortable number of patrons. The establishment was called the Golden Fish. A place of middling repertoire, neither particularly seedy nor reputable. The floors were sticky, the windows...

The Painted Dragon Camille sat within the inner office of the Crimson Dusk. One of the most powerful crime syndicates of Alliria. Finger tapped absently at the report on her desk. Mister Talmanese was gone from the territory. News that set her slender shoulders more at ease. He'd done...

Flickering shadows cast over the walls of a swaying, creaking quarters. Bits and baubles cluttered every horizontal surface. Statues, trinkets, and ornate boxes were all stuck to the crowded shelves with tacky putty to prevent them shifting as the ship rocked. With the curtains all drawn shut...

It was early summer when Lechies returned to her family's estate. A visit long overdue, her parents had said, equal parts overjoyed and exasperated, when she turned up on their doorstep covered in dust from the road. She'd meant to visit months ago, but each time she neared Alliria, she'd catch...

The Song of Diplomacy The horde of Orcs was closing in on Alliria. The scurry of loud thuds clouded the atmosphere, cementing hooves in the thick mud that plagued the Allir Strait. They’ve been making their trail from Bhathairk for four days now through tremendous downpours, bandits, and...

370 Location: Alliria Docks Entering Port Morning Under a bright blazing blue sky on a sunny day, carried on a refreshing sea breeze to put life into your bones, the Vai Ilnarem, a 700-ton four-deck small carrack-sized vessel known as a Cavark, was slowing to dock, its great white sales being...
