alliria

The night sky was dim. The three masted barque rocked with the rhythm of the tide, drawing ever closer to the destination set at the end of the journey. The man had lost count of how many days he’d enjoyed in the open water, set up amongst the boxes of cargo and livestock that filled the ample...

Ryna was a simple yet complicated young woman. She did more than the average man. Even more so, Ryna is an assassin, willing to protect anyone. She was in Alliria looking around. She stopped into a tavern. Choosing a place to make herself comfortable, she looked to the bartender and said, "Give...

The door to the archives crashed open as Charity entered in her usual chaotic manner. "Ah, Ms. Briarthorne. How are you?" Cleo greeted her warmly. "Its nice to see-" Charity spun to face Cleo as she began to speak. "Where's Gwen?!" she demanded. "She's out back in the archives," Cleo spat...

Sunlight poured through the open window, splashing itself across Charity's face. She yanked the blankets over her head grumbling, and curled up into a ball. A raven began calling loudly outside her window, and she reluctantly got out of bed. "SHUT UP YOU FUCKIN' BIRD!" Charity shouted out the...

Alliria - Harbor Viatri watched the city ahead of them with a keen eye, her head tilting slightly as she sat in her throne like chair that had been placed on the prow of the Black Heart. The massive ship cut through the water far faster than it should have been able to, the huge sails half...

"Avariel? Aye there do be a few tha' come down 'ere now. I didn't believe me eyes when they first appeared." Gawyn fingered the hilt of his blade impatiently whilst trying to keep his face impassive. He always forgot how much humans liked to listen to their own voices, especially when they...

East, he was heading east, that's about the only thing Cutter knew for a fact, well that his name and his age. The man had a nearly empty brown sack slung over his shoulder with what little fruit he could collect on the inside, A long sword was being carried in the other hand and his clothing...

The sounds of combat, dispersed and fading even as they were, behind Hahnah. Behind and distant. Like echoes of someone else's life playing out in the downward street leading to the Shallows of Alliria. And that is truly what it felt like to Hahnah, as if she now were a person separated from all...

A Crowded Allirian Street Source: Gilles Ketting Steps pounded against pavement, the incoherent murmuring of voices filled the air, and an overwhelming aroma of scents from all of the street vendors assaulted Wynn’s nostrils. It was just another day on the crowded thoroughfare into...

A thief was not a good thief if he hesitated when a prime opportunity presented itself. Hesitating didn't put food in your belly, it didn't put logs on your fire, and it most certainly didn't make you feel 'good' about yourself for not stealing in the first place. Only a person who had never...

Alliria Val stepped off the ship and took a breath, hand running through his hair as he glanced around the docks. This was not the first time he had ever been to Alliria, but it had been a while. Each time he visited he was reminded of just how busy the city actually was. Everyone was...

It was quite the normal morning for most of the city of Alliria as she sun began its rise into the sky and began to poke through the massive buildings that dominated the skyline. The sounds of shouting, carriages, and metal on metal as the blacksmiths hammered away at their work permeated the...

He was an elf named Idreth, and tonight Hahnah would bear terrible witness to his murder. * * * * * Hahnah spent a long time in Alliria, and much of it she did not like. Her trepidation of cities and settlements had not fully abated, even if she had first arrived in the company of a friend...

Hahnah sat on the floor of the roadside tavern. Her back was against the side of the bar, her palms flat on the floor, one leg out straight and the other bent. She was covered in blood. She breathed heavily, her chest heaving and her eyes wide with shock. A dead man lay on the floor among the...

William limped down the street. His body ached all over and there was still blood coming from his nose. It wasn't his first beating but they never got any easier. Remi's gang weren't exactly experts but an amateur with stamina was almost as bad. He wheezed, hoping that the pain didn't mean any...

A L L I R I A It was another day. Brynneld had started scratching the days into the wall when he had arrived. After covering two entire stones in markings he had given up. There were not many prisoners here. Having been one of the Allirian rangers for over a decade he knew what happened to...

It had been a long arduous journey, as most adventures worth having should start. Or at least, that's how Trevan tried to justify it in his mind. It's been weeks since he last saw the dark caverns of his home, and he was confident he would never see them again. Not willingly, anyway. That was...

Alliria - The Shallows Khari had never left Dornoch before. Most of the time the tasks that were set out for her by the Dynast were in the city or the smaller cities around it. She was kept close, never straying too far and always accomplishing things quickly so that she could return to her...

The light rain gave her just cause to keep her dark hood up over her pearly white hair. It was often recognised, and she was putting her life at risk as it was being in the market. They needed food and she was sick to death of fish. Lailah tried her best to look anything but as paranoid as she...

The streetlamps cast a flickering light onto the wet asphalt and stretching ahead was a forlorn road shrouded in darkness and mystery. Rainfall seeped through the layers of fabrics on her body and the night chill tickled her skin. The eerie silence along with the charcoal curtain draping over...
