Rhoxane Van Der Aa understood her assistant professor duties as any assistant professor did at Elbion. Obviously, helping the professors to teach and grade young Elbion mages was important. New minds, as she had been told endlessly by all the professors around, needed to be nurtured with care...

Despite all the misfortune that had befallen him for the last few years, even now it seemed that not all was truly lost. Erren Serris was leaving the office of Hieronymous Pangloss with a considerably brighter outlook than he'd had when first trudging into the old castle of regrets and mistakes...

Finally! Some time to study. One would have thought that in a place like Elbion College time to study would be plentiful. Mayhap for the actual students this was true, yet not so much for a visiting Dreadlord Initiate as it turned out. Kristen, along with several others, had been conscripted...

The soft sounds of a young voice singing rang through the small dusty little house, bouncing off the walls barren of paint or picture only to be stopped by the foggy windows from escaping out into the noisy streets of Elbion. It was stuffy and cramped, and the world outside these walls was...

ON THE ROAD A stranger in the road. His hands held up. Palms open. "I mean you no harm," he said. "Remi Useda." A stranger who offered to change everything. * * * * * Another mission completed. Much like all the others the Academy doled out to its up and coming Initiates, comprised of...

Lazular was, as it normally was, busy and full of movement. Thousands bustled through the streets getting urgently to their destinations-- getting to trade deals, to appointments, making sure they got to their stalls and stores on time, making sure they could start their day with breakfast and...

"You're really not giving me much of a choice here, are you?" Erren Serris stared back into the beady, angry set of eyes of the grey-skinned elf sitting across the table from him, knuckles white around the handle of his mug. Of all the places Serris traveled, all the dangers he had to endure...

He'd already drank a full mug of mead with breakfast when Gerard remembered that today was the day he was supposed to be protecting that girl; he'd wandered to Oban after his lover had lost her memory, and he couldn't bear to return to Alliria to see the smoldering ruins of his former...

Atem was silent for several moments as the shoulders he laid draped over passed under arched doorframe and through empty hall. The silence wasn't at all unusual for the soul. Even in life, he hadn't been a man that tended towards initiating idle chatter, though he would politely participate when...

Roza had passed through one of the entrance gates to the inner city of Elbion as she had done many times before. She was no stranger to the mercantil workings of the trade city, as a hunter by profession she’d delivered goods there plenty of times in the past. But this time was different. She’d...

Elbion "This is fucking ridiculous." With a vile bitterness in his voice. "Do you know how many people I've slaughtered? How many many cities I've brought to heel? How ma-" "You think that matters?" The voice was flat. Total. There was no arguing with the tone, the voice that echoed...

South of Elbion - Across the Cairou Abandoned Farm Early Evening "You are certain we cannot use the underground cavern system to enter the city?" "Most certain, Silver One. None of the underground catacombs or tunnels remain intact after the fall of Drakomir." It was not in her nature to ask...

The former Lord of House Tal'deneshaar rode in silence along the road. He had departed the desert dwellers, the animals, that only dreamed of watching the world burn. He had tried to prevent it, but he failed. His armor of old had long since been hidden and the only item he bore that couldn't...

"We have only just managed to get out infrastructure back up and running, and now you do this? We will be bankrupt in weeks!" His sister whispered sourly at him. "You know this is only a tithe of our funds. The people of this city need our help. We have to pick up everyone together, or we all...

Here's a great fucking idea. Train the best warrior-mages, drawn from all across Vel Anir's holdings, in the most intensive, strict, and brutal regimen known to Arethil, hone them into razor sharp weapons of war...and then send them all the way across Liadain to eat cake and make nice with the...

Thought I would get this started, to make plot idea discussion a bit easier, as we've had none at all so far. So far from Raul's perspective, he has arrived in Elbion, searched for locations to sleep and to get jobs, (boarding houses, taverns, inns, message/notice boards,) passed through a back...

When the floating bits of rubble coasted downwards and re-settled upon the terrafirma the restoration of Elbion was able to begin in earnest. It had been a tumultuous time. Chaos and panic had stretched the Gendarmerie thin. It’d led to an explosion of crime and now that the populace wasn’t...

Aoife angrily tapped out her pipe, red embers catching the breeze and spraying onto a patch of newly-clipped grass. How was she supposed to pass the time if she couldn’t smoke? A group of students across the courtyard were looking up from their books, casting angry glares. In her mind she was...

Were all city coins usually this sticky? Raul had spent a sum total of two hours in Elbion when this particular revelation hit him. One in the outskirts, and the other in the city proper. Only now does he see that he much prefers the outskirts. In fact, the first indicator that the outskirts...

Sir Tobias the Unbroken Fritz was out in the forests below Elbion. He was looking for rocks to break incase they had minerals, while also trying to hunt some animals for food, as he preferred to do that instead of buying at the, to him, ridiculous prices the city enforces. He also decided to...
