murder

Akiza invited the man into her home and shut the door. A very modest home, little more than single room, recently vacated by a career soldier who had found a wife and, naturally then, needed larger accommodations. Akiza herself would've loved larger accommodations, but for her present purposes...

Helea - Near the Cortosi Border "Mr. Mayor, I'm not sure that's within our purview..." Arn said slowly, glancing around at his fellow Guardsmen. They had been stationed here in Helea as something of a scout force, more of an...alarm measure than any real defensive force. The Cortosi-or rather...

Vel Zrada "He's got Black Bloody Boots, and a rotund mace, but Dreadlord Braires looks like he took a brick to the faaaacccceeee!" The crowd cheered as they sang along with the drunk young man whose fingers fluttered across the strings of a well-made fiddle. Although his rosy cheeks strongly...

"What called?" Soleil asked the shopkeeper, Douglass Mueller. "That," Douglass said of the reptile on the counter which had caught Soleil's attention, "is a chameleon." A slow day was it, here in Mueller's Odds and Ends general store. Not situated in the bustling markets closer to Anir Square...

Dark clouds roiled and thunder boomed in the distance in the skies above the Allirian cityscape, casting a dark shadow over the inhabitants and drenching them with a sudden torrent of rain, the moisture glistening on the cobbled streets as excess water flowed into storm drains. Behind a home...

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...

Alistair did not wait long the next day before telling both Ralene and Liliana to meet him at a small shop on the outskirts of Vel Anir. It was one of several small alchemical stores that the family ran, but its primary purpose was for the distribution of drugs and other illegal goods. That...

Hunting Camp, two days travel from Faarin Eretejva Tundra You're going to die here, Hlafden. The Blizzard had begun without warning, blinding everyone trapped inside of it. Can you see me? I can see you. Days prior a group of Nordenfiir had left the settlement of Faarin intent on trapping...

He was an elf named Idreth, and tonight Hahnah would bear terrible witness to his murder. * * * * * Hahnah spent a long time in Alliria, and much of it she did not like. Her trepidation of cities and settlements had not fully abated, even if she had first arrived in the company of a friend...

Donarch - Docks "YOU THINK I DID WHAT?!" The shouting was followed by the sound of a plate shattering against the wall. To say she had been indignant was something of an understatement. The retainers had walked into her Manor, accused her of murder, and then proceeded to say they had a writ of...

/Falwood/ "Are you dragon in human form..?" The weak words escaped the apprentice Dreadlords lips as he watched two of his allies charred corpses hit the ground. Orival's hand now gripped upon the terrified apprentice's hair. The pyromancer held a finger to the air in front of the scared...

The fire crackled, sending shapes dancing across his page. It wasn't particularly condusive to writing, so Raziel's quill hovered over the page. He finished adding a few more notes and then set the notebook down. The small book was bound in a study, dark leather. The pages were fine calf vellum...

A ragged figure moving across the landscape. Mischa Ven'rohk walked, the Elbion portal stone at her back. The dead and desolate farmland, the lasting wound of Pandemonium upon Arethil, stretched in a massive circle from the stone. Tilled fields and managed farmland on the perimeter of the...

The Unopened Letter Just a bump for my open thread, to see if anyone with a free character in Alliria is interested. I know the initial post is long, but that's just my style. I think intros ought to be long enough to properly set up a premise and to give a good feel for the character involved...

She moved with haste through the brush, terror strangling her heart as she fled into the darkness, sobs of fear trailing behind her. Her legs wobbled, threatening to give out from beneath her yet she powered through the spasms of fright that threaten to rob her of her mobility. The stinging pain...

Allirian Reaches - 40 Leagues from Alliria Sliding off the side of the Horse Lia came to ground with a muted thud. Her armor clanked slightly, the metal plates striking against one another as her boots dug into the soft soil of the forest. Behind her the great stallion whipped it's head...
