dreadkids 4.0

It was fifteen till midnight, and Colt was bundled in a coat at the old chapel. He could see his breath as winter had come to the Academy. Around him were a small assortment of candles, creating a not-quite geometric enclosure. Colt himself was playing the guitar. Normally the sound would echo...

Murder was certainly outlawed between the Initiates, but what were the consequences when one was useless to the influence? All day something did not sit right within her. Vittoria had felt overwhelming need to put an end to someone's life, to watch as they took their last breath, but despite...

Hey folks! As some of you guys know, there are a lot of dreadkids running around! I saw some charts float around of relationships between different generations of dreadkids and thought it would be fun to do something similar on general connections rather than specific events. So I made a little...

The scent of smoke filled the room as colt lit up a cheap cigar. It was Poker night, the third he’d hosted. The first was moderately successful, but the second had grown considerably. Part of that was the allure of the game, but a significant part was the festivities associated. He wondered if...

Kael placed a piece of parchment down, the last in his report about 'Guldara the Soothsayer'. It appeared she'd been in a Rovani band traveling across Anirian-aligned territory telling fortunes for around three decades. She'd only been on the Guard's radar for the last four months. It wasn't...

"I think Vincent ran. Too scared to return to the Academy... Why else would we be out here looking for him?" Avery shivered, arms holding herself as she walked the forest that was at the rear of the Dreadlord Academy. The cold this time of night was piercing; a wind that battered against herself...

Southern Falwood Deep, lush greens crept over every surface within the dense and shaded canopy of the rainforest the group now traveled through. The sound of rushing water was nearly ever present, the numerous streams and rivers that coursed the land a winding network of fingers that grasped...

The Restach Fields, or “Resties” as they were known, were a collection of fields and obstacles for training on horseback at the Dreadlord Academy, supposedly named after the original Proctor responsible. Kael had an examination coming up that required some time on a horse, and had booked some...

The coastal town of Vel Vara was still bustling into the night. During the day there had been merchant ships to unload and load, but in the evening their were drinks to had and barmaids to carouse. It was a raucous affair, but Kael was here on business. Vel Anir intelligence had found the Black...

Alistair Krixus || Norah Vittoria waited for Norah after class, thankfully it was Proctor Krixus' to finish their study load of the day before lunch would be served and the afternoon remaining was left to training classes. She lingered at her desk, waiting to pipe up and get the attention of...

The dawn of a new year. All across Arethil, celebrations erupted, from obscure savage ceremonies that begged the sun to grace them for four more seasons to the more traditionally observed debauchery to mark the beginning of a new calendar. Even Vel Anir, in all her human-centric glory, was not...

Kael pulled out a spyglass and examined the wooden fort in the light of the moon. It was of simple construction, walls of logs sharpened to a point and bound with rope. Inside there were similarly constructed buildings, and what Kael believed to be the Saderzaine Vult, along with his proctor. It...

"It's been nearly two hours now, hasn't it?" The two Initiates had been posted up in the Yawning Ogre for at least that long. The cups and plates in front of him and his fellow student had long been cleared of food and drink, and the meal placed in the empty third seat across from them now sat...

- Fabien 'King' D'Amour - - Marcia - There was something healing about soaking in the sun's light and warmth; how the clouds were not strong enough to hinder it's reach upon the earth in which they stood on. It provided clarity as they stood atop a flat roofed terrace, overlooking the streets...

"We are sitting ducks out here." Initiate Eliza Wylls cursed softly from her vantage point, peering through the cracks of the ruins of the chapel herself and others holed up in. There was a hunt under way in the trading town found in the lands between the Anirian Territories and the Savannah...

Dear Initiate Marcia Your session for additional training will be held in two days time, location pending at Proctor Urahil's discretion. You will be informed on the day where it is you are expected to be present for this training. Kind regards, Proctor Perrine Urahil Winter was...

One last month of being a Proctor, and the sweetness of more freedom was just at the tip of her tongue. That was if she were left to do as she wished and planned these last four lessons. It was as if memory came to those higher than her in position here at the Academy suddenly remembered...

"Do not stop!" The order was desperate as it was commanding, belonging to a Dreadlord that was not slowly weakened before being feasted upon by the creatures. Scouting missions did not often send out Initiates and Dreadlords out to the Falwood, but several reports of strangeness had been going...

One after the other, Vittoria had thrown ten of her knives his way, all lined up before him. Ophir watched with a grim face, already knowing that anyone other than the D'Amour boy or the Strand Initiate would not stand a chance against the daughter of a famed First Level Dreadlord. "The chasm...
