Asherah Ocean - The Bloody Rose Dear fucking god did he hate ships. Why had he ever chosen this escape? There had been a dozen others. The Empire. Alliria. Even fucking Eblion. Yet in the end he had chosen the fucking navy for some stupid goddamn reason. Bastian still didn't know why. Still...

The dim light and low noise of the tavern served to repress the anger racking Gracia's body. That, and she didn't have anywhere else to go. In her hands, she gripped a letter with tattered edges, a product of Gracia's long nails shredding through the parchment. In the orange candlelight, her...

Rumer Nathaira Kasimir Vel Tenebria was isolated, forgotten, and it lay underneath the streets of Vel Anir. While much of it was unexplored or forbidden this particular section was cordoned off. Reserved for a specific group of half-breed freaks that the Anirians had crafted into expert...

Seren offered the gelding a reassuring scratch near his coarse mane as they threaded their way through the streets toward Anir Square. Neither rider nor horse was particularly thrilled with this unexpected errand into the heart of the city. But a message from the courier indicated a horse had...

The Great Fortress city of Vel Anir had not known fear for three hundred years. It had been centuries since the alarm bells rang. Lifetimes since the thunderous sound of warning filled the air and the war banners were released. The echo of them had almost been forgotten, their sound a mystery...

The first day of winter had walked in with a confident, bold grace, a stoic mother to tuck sweet autumn in for rest. There were times that Anais longed for the vivid hues, the brilliance of floral blooms. There were times she dreamt of the sanctuary of soft earthen browns and the flicker of...

“Market duty. MARKET DUTY. What the hell have I done to earn this miserable position. I know I just finished training, and I’m FAR from the best soldier Vel Anir has to offer, but STILL… Well, at least the moon’s rising and the markets will be closing soon.” Abrielle continued complaining to...

He lay dying on the ground. And though it seemed so distant to him, the thudding footfalls and knucklefalls of the creature--that beast, that grinning thing--as well as the shouts and battlecries of his fellow Guardsmen came from further inside the interior courtyard of the fort. His name was...

Sierra sat stiffly in the wagon with a cargo of wooden wine barrels. Gloved fingers tightened on the reigns of the restless mare. It was late, well past midnight. She was at a junction in the city. Not too close to the Academy but close enough that it kept her on high alert. Eyes narrowed...

Trajan Meng has been the ideological leader of a human supremacist organization for a while. And now the time has come for him to destroy what he has created. But he cannot do it alone. Will you answer the call? A force of 200-250 Luminari Purists (the extremist faction that took over Trajan's...

When God unravels the webs that I've spun… ...what shall be undone? The Fortune’s End was perhaps the most legendary frigate within the Anirian Navy. It’s long streak of successful missions, lack of any deaths or serious injuries among the crew, and it’s long stretch of time in service had...

He knew what he had to do. Trajan Meng, embattled and beleaguered, had made his way back to Vel Anir. This after an ordeal that nearly claimed his life in Alliria. This after he had seen everything he worked for, everything he believed in, come crashing down around him in an instant. His hope...

Source: Ellen Clarke Sullivan lowered his massive figure into the oversized chair. It was plush, firm, and called the ornate windowless room home. The marbled flooring was clean enough that it’s white surface reflected and amplified the sconces which illuminated the confined place. Once...

In the meadow, beyond the castle, past the village, where the long grass grew, an elf leaned against a tree. Eyes closed, tousled auburn hair fell down to his collar. A series of deep scars marred pale, angular features. The wind played softly with his hair and the simple, subdued fabric of...

"Kaius!" Fingers dug into the mane of her black horse. Teeth grit in her mouth. Trees and branches whipped past their faces. Charcoal hair flew wildly behind her. Kaius had proven he certainly knew how to irk her. Sometimes even more than Arwyl. But the elven man had the NERVE to grab HER...

Vel Anir... As massive as the ancient dragons of legend, and just as imposing. For a city, it looked alot more like a gigantic stronghold with a complex layout. At least that was the impression one immediately received from it. To a nonhuman, the city had a strange way of seeming gloomy even...

Normally Vyx never ventured anywhere without her troops. However, she needed to get within the walls of the human city before striking. As a result, she operated alone after scoping out the grand fortress for a few days. For three days she and her commanders observed the operations of the city...

|| Vel Anir || Go home, Sibylla. That's an order. The words kept ringing through Sibylla's mind for the past week. Ever since Commander Raj informed her that she was being reassigned from the Army of the West to the Homeguard. Of all the places to be cast-off like some noble's bastard...

Anirian Territory - Cortosi Border Talus sat on a stump inside of the small camp setup by the Anirian Guard. Half a dozen tents lay inside of a small wooden palisade hastily erected within the last day or so in order to create a somewhat defensible position. His sword was leaning on the stump...
