vel anir

My dear Elspeth, While I am certain your current endeavors have taken you far from your father and your home, it is with great haste that I require your return to Vel Anir. We are to hold company with the King and Queen in the Capital on the 15th of the month. There is nothing that takes...

Lynus' fist pounded on the door of Arryn's chambers. Once. Twice, and a third time, each time more impatient than the last. Arryn whipped the door open to save it from another assault, his gaze widening on Lynus, instant concern crossing his features. "What's hap--" Lynus pushed the Captain...

"When I thought I had felt everything, when nothing seemed to have a new flavor, when all colors became dull and gray... you came into my life." Most women would have been terrified walking into that alley while a man followed right behind them. They would have gone into the tavern instead of...

Storms graced the early beginnings of summer in Vel Anir, drowning the streets for hours until a reprieve came, but the damage was done. Some parts of the road leading to the Academy were too soft for the wheels of the carriage, and the order went out that they would be staying in the capital...

A letter had been sent to the Krixus Estate. How long it had remained there wasn't known. The Academy's seal held the parchment together until it would be opened when the final sequence of the runes was completed. It would be easy for any dreadlord to figure out that this sequence circle is one...

Melissandra Vorain, a former level one Dreadlord who gathered a small contingent of six Dreadlords. Why was she formerly a Dreadlord, well that might be because just last week she had nearly wiped a small village off the face of the map and killed an entire guard unit. She was a renowned...

[Shogun Rising - Noah Bradley] Early morning. A blanket of dew still sat upon the grass and leaves of this village on the edge of the Falwood - Vel Sain. Light just broke the horizon. The villagers began to stir as chickens and pigs began to make noise. No more than 100 people lived in this...

Wil was what he would begrudgingly call 'in trouble'. Instead of returning to the welcoming, adoring arms of family upon his return from his unpleasant hosts in the Falwoods, his parents had treated him like a petty criminal. They acted as though he had chosen to be kidnapped, to have his boozy...

V E L S O N D O R [link] | [link] While the Urahils were wealthy enough to own a grand estate in the city of Vel Anir, when it came to significant business, the family went to Vel Sondor to discuss in privacy the matters that Felix found so important. It was the home the twins grew up in...

Where: Outer edge of woods surrounding academy Who: 4.0 Initiates What: Two-legged race When: Sunrise A loud, booming voice began to speak from a small sending stone in the middle of a clearing where the initiates had been 'dropped off.' Drugged the night before, bound, and deposited in...

Kortes - Island of Cortell https://i.imgur.com/yAjouUM.png "Three targets." Erodin said simply, pointing to the map laying on the central table within the hovel they would call a home for the next three weeks. The Dreadlord's expression utterly deadpan and without a hint of amusement as he...

Cortos - Aldren Ranch "I dunno, I don't think this is so bad." Arn said with a wide smile as he patted the pony on the cheek. The young, former farmhand, practically beaming as he pulled himself away from the fence and regarded some of the other Guardsmen that had been left behind. Most of...

Leiara - Cortosi Border Kassandra stood quietly at her perch on the guard post, her gaze gently sweeping over the edge of the wall and into the lands beyond. Her lips pressed to a thin line as she spotted the approaching storm clouds, the great black tumult moving forward and darkening the...

Alliria - Harbor https://images2.imgbox.com/dc/35/XmAYWRPa_o.jpg Every Thirty years, like clockwork, Allira the largest city in the whole of the world became just a little bit larger. The Tournament of Tides was a festival that had existed for almost as long as the city itself. A storied and...

Liad Racecourse - Five Miles Outside Vel Anir "Okay, honestly, this is great." Arn pitched to his comrades as he and the others walked towards one of the twenty stables on the racing grounds. The Liad Racecourse was...well, not exactly famed anymore, but once had been the preeminent home of...

Cormund Augur had places to be. It was clear to see by his pace through the hallways, rushing past regal paintings and busts of long dead Dreadlords. He looked left and right in his trademark paranoid manner, luckily alone in this particular hallway. He was having unfortunately very personal...

Amol-Kalit Annuakat House Saladin Estate Afternoon Nilofer savored the soft breeze that shifted the light fabrics of her dress. The heat was more bearable indoors, but even for those used to the Kaliti weather would say this was a particularly... warm day. Her attendants fastened the last few...

Spring had arrived, but the cold winter chill still clung to the early hours of the morning, waiting to be warmed in the sun that was still rising above the treetops of the woodland behind the Academy. One's breath could be seen in the air, but the Initiates in the class two years from...

Erich Calvart had brown eyes. They betrayed every part of his face, making him seem innocent and boyish no matter how hard the rest of his features tried. His prodigious nose, so proud and angular. A prominent brow, almost primitive in its position. The thick, dark beard that covered his jaw...
