The Nazatari Arena used to be the pride and joy of the Vanguard of Valenntenia. Whereas The Guardians often stole the spotlight in the public eye, the amazing displays put forth within the Arena by the strongest and wisest of the Vanguard never failed to draw the eyes of all Valenntenia's...

The Clay estate in Valenntenia was far from the most illustrious home allotted to any of the Guardians, but it was the coziest. Nestled in a grove of old trees, sprawling with ferns and ivy, with a creek trailing behind it, it was a quiet and secluded place far from the prying eyes of the...

Homecoming was meant to be a joyous time in the city of Valenntenia, a time in which to celebrate those who so loyally protected and served the remnants left behind by the Gods themselves to ensure the safety and peace of the Children of The Rune. This year, it instead become one of the most...

"I'm not a soldier." Captain Malark gave a heavy sigh and looked up from his desk. Mordred stood before him with his arms folded and a scowl on his face that would have sent even a few of his bravest Vanguard scuttling away due to the silly rumours that surrounded the stone. Malark preferred to...

Valenntenia, Homecoming Night Vazia was a woman of few words. She didn't care one way or another for parties, and after Solomon had dismissed them to go about their own ways, most of the Guardians went on their own. The life of a Guardian was a lonely one, and while a few of their numbers were...

Mordred wiped his brow and leant against his axe to catch his breath. Before him lay two piles; logs brought in fresh from the mountain forests in one and in the other neatly split firewood ready for the towers hearths – Mor’s handiwork. There was a simple pleasure to splitting logs. It had...
