    Private Tales Rising Heat

    The moderate temperature around the Academy was a great relief compared to that of the Ixchel Wilds and Iuk-'U Delta. There was no torrential rain, no swamps, and, most importantly, no mosquitoes. Henry, as odd as it was to say, was almost glad to be at the Academy. Though, as his horse trotted...

    Completed Nights like this

    It had been a long week. A small squad of Dreadlords and a few of the brightest apprentices, had been sent out to deal with a band of elvish raiders harassing a human settlement a good two days hard ride from Vel Anir. It had rained the entire way there and it had rained constantly since they...

    Private Tales What the Wilds Have to Offer

    It was fucking hot. Henry's clothes, a white linen shirt tucked into black trousers, and an unlaced arming doublet was all the First Rank Dreadlord wore. His armor, something easily replaceable, was tossed aside days ago. The saber at his side was the only weapon the man possessed, and he'd...

    Quest The Reclamation of Vel Istra

    Southern Aniria Territory Selene rode slowly upon a large black stallion at the head of a column of nearly thirty Dreadlords. Some wore thick plate armor, others simple robes of black, and still others a mix of the two. The sight would be an intimidating one, even for entire armies. Yet they...

    Open Chronicles Welcome to The Hunt

    Early Morning - The Academy "I've asked you all here to help with the training of some of our students," Magnus Olm was not a physically imposing man compared to most but his voice and his reputation commanded more respect than most. All Dreadlords who went through the Academy knew Magnus. With...

    Quest What Goes On[Dreadlords]

    Vel Anir - Vel Acadria Talus had few memories of Vel Acadria. He and his class of fellow apprentices had never spent much time within the city limits. Their own upbringing had been centered around the Academy. This place had always been more for show, a way to display to foreign ambassadors...

    Private Tales Written In Blood

    South Aniria - Virak Winter Castle Elise sat quietly in a large reading chair in what had once been her Great Uncles study. There was a book in her lap, and a small cup of tea on the side table besides her. She glanced out the window, watching the quiet forest that lay just beyond the walls of...

    Completed The games they play

    Jana was rarely ordered around for matters as small as protecting merchants, no matter their standing, but this was rather an exception. House Sirl had a lot of trade deals going on all around, just as any other noble House of Vel Anir, but this was of a special importance as of late. Mostly...

    Fable - Ask A Belief Forgotten[Dreadlords]

    Vel Stratholm - Arethwin Cathedral Elise stared quietly up at a statue depicting a large man clutching an orb in his right hand. Behind him lay a massive stained glass window that colored him with the rays of the dusk even as the sun sat in it's noon position. Nowadays most Anirians would...

    Fable - Ask Extirpation

    ”Yrael, do not do this, I beg of you.” The older man had implored him. Sagith Aerin had been his mentor for close to six years now and a prominent figure in his training since well before then. While he was older than Yrael for sure, he could not be more than 40 himself. Dreadlords did not...

    Fable - Ask The Shattered Keep[Dreadlords]

    Near Cortos - West Baal-Asha River Talus crouched in a small clearing surrounded by more Dreadlords than he had ever been in the presence of. There were over three dozen of them of all different sort of experience. First Levels, Seconds, thirds, Apprentices, and even a few fourths. It was a...

    Private Tales On The Town

    Vel Anir - The Raging Rabbit Ademar Acero Dreadlord Apprentices were rarely ever allowed to relax. Back at the Academy the occasion for down time was...well none at all. Just about the only quiet moments were when they were expected to study the histories. Other than that everything was...

    Quest The Insurrection of Vel Fael

    Vel Fael Rebellion was uncommon within the lands of Vel Anir. Insurrection occurred every now again, the Underground took Dreadlords, but outright Rebellion? That had been unheard of for nearly a century. Rising up against the Houses simply wasn't down. History had not been kind to rebels of...

    Completed The Consequence of Treason

    Rays of the sun shone through gaps in overcast weather over Vel Anir. Splotches of light ebbed and flowed as the clouds far above shifted over the great bastion of humanity. In the streets of the city, dense crowds of people carried out their daily tasks, the densest being in Anir Square. Hal...

    Private Tales The Links That Bind Us

    South of Vel Anir Talus reigned his horse to the side and stop as they passed through the last of the trees at the edge of the grove. His blade was already drawn, fingers tight around the hilt as his gaze swept over towards the nearby field of wheat. At the other end of the field he could spy...

    Open Chronicles The Lights of the West

    Cortos - Ylara Talus kept his eyes forward as he road through the small mountain gate of Ylara, his gaze fixed on the open square that lay just beyond the open archway. He took careful note not to glance towards the guards, all of whom were surprisingly vigilant. A couple hundred years ago...

    Private Tales The Blind Leading the Blind

    Northern Falwood - Fort Arrel Ayara Vagrand Talus frowned slightly, looking down at the two backpacks situated in front of him. They were leather, each of them well crafted and stuffed to the brim with supplies for what was to be a two week mission. The missions was ostensibly a rather simple...

    Private Tales The Third Rung

    Vel Acadria Selene sat quietly in a grand throne like chair, it's plush exterior more comfortable than anything she had ever sat in before. The chair belonged to the Headmaster of the Academy. Stuffed with feathers and made of the hide of some sort of creature, Selene was almost entirely sure...

    Private Tales Under the Stars

    Sierra Snow-white sand caked the front of Hal’s body as he pulled himself ashore, coughing up water and gasping for breath. Blood flowed like a river from a deep gash in his thigh. Around him, driftwood and other remains of a ship floated onto the beach. Farther out, debris still floated. Only...
