Cold mist clung to everything like a child to its mother. Had they not seen the waning light of day before leaving the quiet village of Parumora, it would have been impossible for anyone in the group to have known what time of day it was. Pale light filtered softly through the dense trees of the...

Hours before A voice awoke him from a midday daydream about looking at the world from the perspective of a hawk. Coming back to reality, he realized he was in a chair and being stared down by a familiar face: Proctor Ellis, one of his first mentors in this hellhole of a facility...

Vel Castere was a struggle to find the rhythm for, but the strict daily routine outlined for her soon became easier to manage. Mornings started with a run, and by now her feet toughened and was able to take the distance. The forges were the most challenging, but Zephyrine did not complain. It...

What a curious world full of fantastical life Arethil was. The sprawling diversity of its species was something that ever churned in the mind of Archon Sepia Galleus. How she yearned for the days of her youth, venturing out into the that wild frontier to see the great spectacles that the...

It was a simple task veiled under the pretense of a mission, suitable for two to take care of. It did not matter which would accompany Zephyrine, as long as the Initiate accepted to undertake this detour. It was a test, a way to see to what extent her magic could go and the cost of using it...

Child, the gift you've discovered... I do not want to ask this of you, but I must. For the sake of everyone, I must ask you to go. Solomon's words played over and over in her mind like a broken music box. She knew the others in their group wondered why the Guardian of the Dreamstone was amongst...

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...

"Come on Marcella!" Houri called over her shoulder when she saw the girl hesitate between the two groups. She didn't know much about the other girls talents but Zaire, whether by design or happenstance, had already 'picked' his team and so she had the odd initiate who was left last. "We've got...

Alliria - The Inner City Gaage Eberwhit and Delaney Lennox had been sent on an assignment together. An assignment where they were to be Gaage and Delaney Martine, the newest rich young couple to make The Inner City of Alliria their home. This mission was vitally important to Vel Anir so, of...

"How many times has it been now, child? A hundred? A thousand? No. Not that many I think. Perhaps just a few falls short." The voice rang out. All consuming. Grasping. The only thing he could focus on. The only thing that he could hear. "You have ventured beyond the veil so many times. Felt...

Rain hammered the Ixchel Wilds like the wrath of a vengeful God. Usually this kind of weather was something Raphael would welcome for there were less people in the streets and his work tended to be quieter as travel slowed. Tonight, however, the puca found himself outside in it rather than...

Velen Edric lay draped in a heavy canvas tarp Vance Calgrave besides him. Heavy clay roof tiles sat beneath them, and just over the peak of the roof they had a perfect view into the town square below. A dozen men were milling around the marbled cobbles, most of them carrying heavy beams of...

The mute and the urchin sat at an large and otherwise vacant table at the Elven Arrow Tavern, patiently waiting for others to arrive. At the moment, Mute was working on a piece of parchment, drawing the docks from memory as best he could. He'd learned over the years that when you had no tongue...

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...

The Spine. The location where many are lost, never to be seen again. The place where strange and beautiful legends are rumored to reside. The area where a cold frost-bitten wind blows. That was her journey's destination. Serratia Delacour scoured the shelves of the store for Littlerush Oil...
