THE RISING — OPEN THREAD FOR THANASIAN WRITERS The time has come. The Rising has begun. Every year, those who dare enter the volcanic wilds beyond the city walls seek to claim their place among the Ascended, to forge a bond with a dragon—or die trying. The mountains are unforgiving, riddled...

--- The Rising - The Ashen Spires --- The scent of sulfur and charred stone filled the air, thick and cloying with the promise of danger. Heat radiated from the blackened ground beneath Cole’s boots, even as the rain began to fall, hissing against the smoldering rock. Thunder rolled overhead...

The Eve of Ascendance The grand hall of the Thirteenth House was a vision of decadence. Jewel-toned tapestries draped the walls, depicting the city’s rich history and the dragons that had once soared above its skyline. The chandeliers above sparkled like diamonds, casting a warm glimmer over...

(Starting December) Royal Palace Thanasis The royal council chamber was unusually silent as the General unrolled a weathered map across the table. Dark red splotches scattered across it, representing outposts that had been attacked across the Borderlands. "Wyverns," he said, his voice tight...

Hello everyone! Having returned to the site, I've taken some time to think and have two plots I would like to write, with two characters I have made previously. The first is a plot featuring the former royal guard, Elizabeth Auclair, who is presently in exile from her home kingdom and with no...

The day started early in the Kubo household. Like all in the Lower District it was a humble abode of only a few rooms that led onto the shop of the family store, a botanists. Takashi always woke early, especially on this day of the year. It was a special day in more ways than one. He plodded...

Ōmeyōcān Early morning sunlight filtered in through the wide hole at the top of the cavernous training arena. Various practice weapons hung along the walls. A course lay in the middle. Those from the Rising stood alongside the students from noble families, gathered for the session. New...

Malakath - Tre'keth Mountains - 300 Miles South of Thanasis The slaying of a Dragon was a horrid thing. It brought pain like a spiders web. Slowly crawling outward in distant fractures. The agony began with the Dragons bondmate, then extended to his family and House, and then splintered...

Thanasis - House Yuru Palace "Listen, Spinny." True to his name, the tiny black dragon spun around in place. His tail whipping back and forth as he came to a sudden stop, nudging the item he had dropped on the floor closer to him. "Shiny, doesn't mean valuable." Picking up the small fork, a...

Thanasis - Six months after the Rising The Forge barracks and training fields, near the Wall. As the sun began its ascent over the training fields of Thanasis, casting a golden hue upon the sprawling landscape, Cullen Morvane found himself in a lone corner of the grandeur of the barracks'...

Hello there friends! Finally getting around to finding a first thread for my twin dragon assassins Cassian and Callim. Virtually inseparable the two amnesiac brothers are up for mostly anything, and might not even charge for their company to the right person! Of course the two brothers are...

Thanasis - Near the Sea "I know." Androl said as he gently patted Erenex's snout, his eyes darting briefly towards the dock where the massive ship lay. "I don't like it either." A low growl escaped the great Auresh Dragon, his scales seeming to bristle ever so slightly as he shook his head...

The Last Chance Inn was full of wonder and surprises. Enough so that Virdan knew a certain kind of magic, perhaps ancient and powerful, was at play. And while that put her on more of an edge than she normally tread, it was keeping her and Virdan safe from the Jarlax for the time being. So...

The log splintered under the force of a heavy impact; deep cracks racing along its surface. Bark crunched and flew off in ragged chunks. Light splashes sounded out as they met muddy, pockmarked soil. Steam rose from flared nostrils, cast out in waves from heaving lungs. The rain came down in...

Thanasis Po wore a servant's uniform. But not just any, one that marked her as a servant of the palace. It was the day after the Feast of Thunder festival. The red handprint of Madame Sinclair still marred one side of her face, though now the red had transitioned to the faintest of blues and...

Thanasis Western Fringes The Fringes, they called them. The relatively uninhabited lands on the very edges of the peninsula that made up Thanasis. These were primarily rocky, lifeless beaches beyond the reach of the mountains that sheltered the city-state, but there were still pockets of life...

Malakath - Thanasis It is said that men build cities, dwarves build monuments, and elves build only what they need. Dragons though, Dragons do not build. It was said the city of Thanasis was founded when the Great Dragon Gods looked down upon the mortals of Malakath and took pity upon their...

The Spine It had been some weeks since Valdr had settled in his temporary quarters of Route. Months since he and his betrothed had toured his Homeland. The truth of it, was that he found much more peace out east. Less confined. There were more kingdoms, more warbands, more variables and far...

Steve walked along the hallways with his entourage, puzzling over what Sathirena could have called him for. H-Had he forgotten an important date? Did he forget her birthday, oh, or perhaps her resurrection day? Hmmm now that he really thought about it he didn't really know either. Also shouldn't...

(Following the events of "The Great Ones Beneath" and "Bhathairk: The Aftermath") (Open to anyone and everyone) It started with just an orcish girl--perhaps foolishly, perhaps righteously--at the destroyed Gates of Bhathairk. And Zeri had been incredibly nervous before she even began. When...
