"No! No, Loth, you don't have to do this, please." His thumb pressed a little bit harder. He hadn't quite gotten the hang of this part of the process yet, and the books he'd read on Isbrand Lorel had been sorely lacking in the detail. He could see the theories behind some of the other things...

Every once and a while, Initiates get a day off. Most of the time, it was not out of kindness or intent on the proctors’ side. Rather, it was just how their schedule came to be. In Aelita’s case, she had a day between getting back from one mission to departing on the next. She decided to spend...

The morning following What Happens After. Dreadlord Academy Stables Daybreak Following the events of their graduation, the stillness and quiet lingered throughout the academy like a bad sickness. There was yet any real closure to anything for most, but Ralene had the answers she needed to...

Even the Gilded District was gloomy beneath an overcast sky pregnant with rain. Elspeth Sirl watched through the window of her carriage as the shadow of dark storm clouds to the east slowly loomed overhead, promising to shatter the evening peace with the song of storm and thunder. Normally she...

“S’mores,” the woman corrected Leander, raising a eyebrow at him continually saying “some mores.” The smile on her dry lips told him that she didn’t find it obnoxious as much as she probably found it endearing. She gestured to the chocolate on display, jerking her head to motion the two...

Vel Hetren His sword made a sickening squelching noise as he ripped it free from the Orc's center. Blood spraying over his fine tabard and the chainmail he wore beneath as he tore the blade free. The sound alone would have been enough to make most people sick, but in the moment Olvir barely...

The days in the Academy infirmary went on. Most of it involved cycles of intense magical purging and rest, sessions of the former awful but blessedly much shorter than the latter. Kimble's cold magic wasn't just elemental ice. It could be deeply infectious like a disease, constantly inflicting...

"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...

As she walked through the morning streets of Vel Anir, Aelita kept rereading the orders over and over again. Her eyes bounced back and forth between the parchment of words and the drawing of the missing creature. Eyebrows furrowed. A sigh followed. She panned her head around Velkath square. A...

Vel Anir - The Three Gutters Lileas Home. How long had it been? Five years? Six? Aleric couldn’t even remember anymore. The last time he had seen them he’d been a boy, less than a whelp and three times as cocky as he should have been. It had smelled the same then as it did now. A mixture of...

Vel Anir - Slums The Painted Rat There were bars, there were taverns, and then there were places like the Painted Rat. Filled with murderers, cuththroats, robbers, thugs, and every other kind of criminal one could think of the ramshackle building had been a mainstay in the Slums of Vel Anir for...

TWO MONTHS BEFORE 2.0 GRADUATION: [for 2.0 and 3.0 dreadkids to join, possibly have some fun, possibly get in a bit more character development] SPIRIT WEEK: DAY ONE: Dance Off (1 person) DAY TWO: Bake Sale (Kristen Pirian (another can still join!)) DAY THREE: Maid Cafe! (Zael Castomir (another...

"Do you understand," said Proctor Magomo, leaning in dangerously close, "what it is you're asking me?" Kristen stood rigidly at attention in his office in the Proctors' Building of the Academy. She was keenly aware that the door behind her was closed. "Yes," she said, her voice quiet but...

The Academy Laboratory, Vel Anir A mission had been recently assigned to a certain set of students. In the countryside of Vel Anir, there were two deaths both caused by a peculiar unknown disease. Both victims were decent soldiers of the military and the deaths were suspected to have been...

Despite wanting to disregard Marianne’s suggestion, Everleigh did stop by the kitchens to snag a green apple. Somehow, taking one of the red apples seemed inconsiderate. She passed other initiates, not saying anything to them, but overhearing something about Ingrid and a bloody nose. Zael’s name...

"Kassandra, you cannot do this. I forbid it!" The King's voice rang out with such authority that one might have thought had actually had some semblance of power. Yet he was not sitting on his throne, he was not addressing the assembly, he was not even speaking to one of the representatives...

By order of Archon Ronan Osmani, the “Black Knight” and his criminal activities shall end. You are to investigate this vigilante and arrest him. You are charged with the authority to compel witnesses to give testimony and provide evidence under threat of contempt. The sigil delivered with...

Ipatiy Kozlov It was one of those nights in Vel Anir. When the great city, pride of humanity, became blanketed in the cool embrace of night and it's imposing towers became the center piece of what was otherwise a beautiful display of human achievement. But it also displayed humanity's darkest...

Hiya! new to the forum, don't even remember making the writer account but it exists ig lol! Spent a long time working on this char in my head and was finally able to type it all out on the forum. She's a little unorthodox but hear me out; Lilette Black-Briar is a vampire-elf who disguises...

Soleil Verdane was trapped. The young Dreadlord Initiate, as could be imagined, was having a bad day. This bad day had its seeds planted three days prior. A mission gone wrong, enemy forces of the elven Fellowship stronger than expected, many Anirian Guardsmen dead or routed. Dreadlords and...
