The rain fell down at a violent torrent, never ending and threatening to wash the city away as the chorus of the storm's booming thunder came to a head. Rain this time of year was expected, but the ferocity of the storm itself serve to catch many off guard, sending them scrambling for cover from...

Heskan Noscales sat meditating in the middle of the beach of Elbion listening to the waves crash unto the shore. Earlier that morning he was hard at work, he was going to take what the old Komodi monks taught him and actually use it for a just cause. He wasn't going to be just a bodyguard he was...

Elbion, what a wonderful sight, what a wonderful feeling. After a long hard month of travel Zane finally arrived at the great city. It was a busy day at East port or perhaps it was always this rowdy and full of life; after all this was Zanes first time visiting Elbion. He would usually be more...

Somewhere in the wilds of Elbion.... “Ey, Marv, whattya gonna do when yer all rich an’ famous?” Firelight danced across the far wall, throwing shadows across the moss covered ruins and the four men sitting in a loose circle around it. The one who’d spoken, a burly man with a large, greasy...

The wheel was misshaped. Gavin could tell as much by the uneven rise and drop of the end of the wagon and how this small flaw caused what should have been a smooth ride to turn into a rather bumpy one. He'd imagine the warped wheel would cause the wagon they rode upon to tilt over at higher...

Kreyadis trudged along the mountainous dunes as he pulled his heavy travelers cloak tighter around himself, the rays from the sun unwelcome to his ashen skin as every step brought with it an ache unlike any other in the physical proportions. His cold blue eyes held stark contrast to the sky...

Dear Quoril, I know that the last time we met we didn't really have an opportunity to talk. A lot happened at the college. You were so kind to me and I feel you deserve an explanation. Would you like to meet at that little cafe on the corner near the guided feather, in two days time at noon? I...

For some time, Elbion was stuffed with smelly meat bags from foreign lands. Applicants flooded in for a chance of entering the college. Predatory merchants from around the region – and some from foreign lands – brought “magical” goods to make a quick few pounds of gold. Many of the incoming...

"Put your hands on the back of your head." And, louder, the woman said, "Do it!" Night. Stars blotted out by clouds. An ancient dark blanketing Arethil. As it had been before there were beating hearts. As it would be after every heart was dust once more. Anima stood on the dirt path leading to...

Gold, the lifeblood of Elbion. It was as much a city of merchants as it was a city of scholars, and outside of the college the merchants controlled the flow of life. That made this life hard for Caddell. He had a gold deficiency that was making the adventurous life of learning and experiences...

Mid-morning. Elbion in sight. And the carriage rolled along the road, preceded by a wagon full of personal guards, half a dozen in all. Each speaking to his wealth. His influence. As did the carriage itself. Covered, luxurious cushioned seats, glass windows on the two doors. A man of many means...

How many years had it been? Too many. Far too many. Hearts near empty and hungered for what they knew. A return to the familiar. A return to the familial. A gray cloak walked down the ramp of a ship from the east. It had been a long journey. Months in fact. Pulling back the hood Kaelen looked...

Name: Ogla Grimoire Crocorith

It was a privilege to lead attacks on the surface, and it had been a dream of the newly appointed Commander for years now. She had her chance now, and this raid would be the first of many. The goal was to take critical supplies and artifacts that were being transported into the rich city of...

It seemed to be a rather average day around the Elbion gates, a stream of merchants and civilians alike were coming in and out of the roads that led into the large city that is Elbion, a reasonable number of guards were posted around the gates as expected, checking and validating those who were...

COME ONE COME ALL! Where are the freaks? Where are the outcasts? Come and join our happy family! come and join the fellowship of brothers and sisters! The gathering of lovers, joy makers, showmen, tricksters, comedians, magicians and other lunatics like that! come and join us in bringing...

The small woman sat silently on her knees, a hand idly running over the small insignia on the corner of the shawl she wore. The threads there coming together to form what she had been told was the letters B and L. It told her the color of what she had adorned, a small mercy granted to her by a...

Background It has been a few years since the Shadow of Elbion had returned to his home. He has spent the majority of the past several years in solitude, writing down what he had discovered of his deity. Volumes he had written on this subject, elaborating upon the practices for his newfound...

Mystmarch was great. It was where Caddell was born. But his people were not the most, understanding, about his circumstances. The idea of spirit magic was a threat to them. Something about it being used in the past to raise angry spirits, enslave spirits of nature and the elements, and placing...

The College of Elbion – the center of magical knowledge. A new round of applications to the College has begun! Any being wanting to attain arcane arts could do so there. Those 16 and older were free to apply – provided they could pay for the fee. And those with the pedigree or ability or money...
