No brighter sun, no fairer sky, could Kristen ask for on this day of fateful return. The country air was refreshing, cool to the skin and invigorating to the heart. Sparse clouds gave large deference to the sun, and they marred little the sea of afternoon blue in their drifting...
Oraya's back was straight and her pose absolutely perfect in the carriage. Her platinum blonde hair styled without one single strand out of place. Frigid blue Urahil signature eyes looked out as they passed by the outskirts of Vel Anir. While she looked like the calm and perfect noble lady on...
VEL AERELOS, COUNCILORS' HALLS
Vel Aerelos was, as always, a grand splendor to behold. A feast for the eyes with its warm cedars and smooth inlaid stone walls, gentle lighting from its magical wall and ceiling lamps, the glossy shine of its marble floors.
Yet Kristen couldn't properly...
Elspeth Sirl's life was a little bit of a mess, but that was about as much as anyone could expect given her current situation. Caught between tending her father post-revolution while maintaining her presence at the hospital, court, and on humanitarian efforts, she'd found herself struggling to...
"Another game, my Lord?"
Logan smiled and let out a good-natured chuckle. "You're quite the adept hand at playing Castles, Reiner," he said to the servant. "My ego has taken an impressive lashing today."
A humble little smile from Reiner. "You've won twice, my Lord."
And Logan's chuckle...
Vel Anir
Pirian Estate
The invitations had been sent out to all the Noble families of Vel Anir. Everyone in the family was welcome for this charity gala that would hopefully raise money for the poor orphans who were not gifted enough to find their home in the Dreadlord Academy.
It was the...
Anirian Territory - Cortosi Border
Alistair Krixus
Olvir stood leaning against an old signage boulder. It had been inscribed centuries ago with different waypoints. The southern ones pointing to Vel Anir, the northern ones edging to Cortos, and those to the east heading to the Savannah. It was...
Vel Anir - The Bloody Gull
"What you think you're better than me because you got a fancy coat and that shiny fuckin sword?!"
The man in front of Olvir had become utterly belligerent. He was loud, shouting, and seemed utterly too angry for the drink that he was holding in his hand. "No sir, I...
"Make way! Make way for the Blackshields! I said make way, damn you!" Using his halberd to push and prod any slowpokes out of the way, the Watch officer did his best to part the roiling sea of bodies blocking Agatha's path. Like most in the City Watch, the officer wore a red-and-black tabard...
Virak Winter Estate
The Virak Winter Estate was located just a few dozen miles away from the Falwood itself. Nestled within the Velmont mountains and guarded by steep cliffs, the castle had been built by Sarkus Virak long before the Second Elven War. It had stood as one of the final bastions...
It is said that the shadows of nobility are deeper than any darkness, some say it is a darkness that casts a shadow on darkness itself.
In the depths of the noble cast's deepest darkest secrets, where non pure of heart dare to delve too deep, are found the slave merchants, the prostitution...
Vel Anir
Kolvar Vayra
He hated this city.
Even more than Elbion, even more than Allira. This city, Vel Anir was the worst of them all. It was here that the nobles stepped on the lower classes. Where a prince could kill a peasant and find no charges pressed against them. In Vel Anir money...
Hello and welcome!
I'm currently in a bit of a position with my main character at the moment. His name is Sortinous Bael, a noble of House Bael and the sole survivor of their massacre (details lie later in this post or on his page linked via his name). House Bael was once a well respected house...
Taagi Baara Steppes - Southern Reaches
"Of course not, My Lady." Her voice was soft, even, a pleasant smile on her face and her eyes as gentle as she could make them be. The woman in front of her was a mess of tears and saliva, having spent the last three hours sobbing like a child who had lost...
