It had been months since the last spot of trouble. The overcast sky only offered just enough light to see by. It was difficult to tell when dawn would finally roll around, not when the autumnal clouds rolled in out of the north on a blustery wind that made her want to wear extra layers. She...

Many remembered Valenntenia to be peaceful, kind, and gracious, but to their own Descended families, favour could be swayed easily. Odhran Carvyre had been one of the most influential Generals of the Vanguard, but his distaste for being slighted for the role of Absalon had cut him deeply. He...

https://images2.imgbox.com/65/06/ZVGTsqby_o.pngSomewhere In The Steppe - Camp A "Miss Tamiko! Miss Tamiko!" Christian bellowed at the top of his lungs as he rushed through the encampment. Though they had been underway for nearly three months now, Camp A was still a magnificent sight. A huge...

Plop! Roland watched his cork bobber live up to its name after casting out his line. Others lined the docks of Dornoch, but few were taking the time to fish as he did. Princess sat in his lap sleeping away with soft rhythmic purrs. Salty air blew. Too bad it couldn't blow away the typical...

"A rookie? Since when do they assign you rookies?" It was about the reaction that Alyxander Quellchrist expected from his longest-serving lieutenant. Serrin always had an opinion on everything, and he wasn't shy about making it known even to his commanding officer. The Knight Commander pulled...

Zaire frowned, looking over at Houri like a puppy tied to a post that couldn’t go off and play with it’s favorite toy. Regardless, she was right. While Delilah and Vasha seemed intent on helping the orc, Zaire wondered if maybe this could be a good way to learn more about the doll maker and all...

Location: Dornoch Time of Day: Evening to Dusk Agatha paid for her spot in the cargo hold of a creaky, battered old trading ship docked on the wild coast she had been roaming for the past several months. She didn’t have a name for the place she has been surviving in, but she’s sick of it, and...

"What is he here for, starving? This poor bastard looks like he hasn't even laid eyes on a crumb in weeks, let alone eaten one." The wretched heat that baked the city of Dornoch with the fury of a particularly harsh summer sank through the shoddy walls of the makeshift jailhouse that Alyxander...

Ragash - Ahvaz Prison "Sssso what are you in for?" The massive hulk of a lizard man behind her leaned in, his voice a rasping hiss as he asked Khari. The odd serpentine eyes of his floated up and down the Daemonette, sticking clearly on the long horns which decorated the crown of her head. She...

"What are you doing? You're going to scratch her all up!" Edward complained to a dockhand who was helping them dock the ship in Dornoch. The man just looked at Edward with skepticism. Fair, it was unlikely that anyone would notice another mark on the ship. Hell, it looked like any moment that...

Dornoch - The Painted Lady Not the nicest tavern in the world, The Painted lady had always held a sort of charm to it. Never quiet, never overwhelming. A constant stream of miscreants, thieves, dock-workers, and dozens of other slices of life roamed through the tavern at all times. No one could...

A cloying, greasy smoke was in the air, visible black against the grey sky from miles away. Yulsel gave a sharp whistle to his eagle, Wolfsbane. She was to abandon the prairie-dog she was tailing and follow him. He rode quickly to the smoke's source. It was a mass grave. Swinging himself in...

Khari sat at the prow of the small boat that she had commissioned to take them up the coast to Nari. There was an excited smile on her face, like a child who was looking out forward to the trip ahead. They had only left Dornoch a few hours ago, but Khari had hardly left her place on the front of...

The first time she had to do this Ichika was only thirteen. To aid a far away village who were struggling due to a severe famine. She’d cried for a week, begging her mother not to send her, and she kept crying as they mounted her atop a midnight colored Pegasus. A female member of the royal...

"It is a waste of your time to try." She ducked round another corner, feeling the searing heat of the beast behind her. The sound of timbers snapping and stone cracking, the screams of the innocents caught in the path of the beast, all of these things hammered at her. The terror pulsing through...

Dear Father, I have finally arrived in the city of Dornoch, and the people here are proving to be extremely welcoming. Griffyn's quill-hand, arriving at the edge of the page, bumped against the bare forearm of the young lady seated next to him. "Ah." He glanced at her with a quick smile...

"Is this truly necessary Administrator"? Voicing her displeasure not only vocally, but in action as Narumi crossed her arms stand on the welldeck as the crew of her Doromura rallied behind their captain standing at rest as they knew there was nothing neither captain or crew could do to stop the...

Daughter of Matriarch Yuna Tsuri & Captain of the Doromaru

It was the screaming that woke Lyssia up from the utter exhaustion of a night spent working tables, doing dishes, and a host of other menial, demeaning tasks for the harridan of a woman that ran this run down inn and watering hole on the edge of Dornoch, jewel of Erdinenn. She sat bolt upright...
