It had just passed a year since his world had fallen apart, though it'd felt like no time at all. He felt no less angry at the world today than he had that day, if anything his bitterness had grown, and there hadn't been a single moment where it hadn't clawed at his chest like an animal intent...

“You’ll like her.” Marianne said to Everleigh as they walked down the hall together. Marianne’s stomach was swollen, obviously round from pregnancy. Yet the blonde still moved like there wasn’t another human inside her. Of course, she wasn’t at her third trimester just yet. Even then, Everleigh...

Lyon Urahil sat at the head of the long dining table in his castle, surveying his surroundings with a sense of satisfaction. The table was set with the finest silverware and crystal glasses, and a sumptuous feast had been laid out for his enjoyment. He sipped at a goblet of rich, red wine...

Vel Anir Outskirts "Merde," Sibylla gave a curse, her olive wet face twisting in aggravated displeasure. The annual storms had blown through the region several weeks early, a monsoon of rain and mud causing havoc not only along the Cortosi Coast, but even miles inland, turning wheat fields...

https://i.imgur.com/O4QZYcV.pngVel Arnen What a shitty, tiny, awful little slip of land. An island distant to even the cortosi sea, Vel Arnen was the furthest 'fortress' city of Vel Anir. More of a naval outpost than any hub of trade or commerce, the city had come up as a necessity to the...

VEL ANIR The sun shined brightly above Vel Anir. The markets bustled with activity. Off in one alleyway from a marketplace, a curiosity developed. Or was ending, potentially. BAM BAM BAM In this otherwise empty corner of the city, Kyros stood over a lanky man. BAM And punched him. BWAM...

https://i.imgur.com/CQn97e1.pngVel Anir - Outer City Amos set down the small box that he had been carrying, a cough wracking his lungs. Hand quickly snapping up to cover his mouth. The sound of his sickness echoing through the nearly empty streets. One or two people briefly glanced at him as...

It was supposed to be simple supply drop-off. Benhaven was a small fort between Vel Cirak and Viret. A place staged to offer reinforcements if Vel Cirak was ever in dire need. A place to hold closer supplies. What was supposed to be simple mission to drop supplies off at Fort Benhaven...

Vel Zaphris - Kaeden and Amos' Workshop "Your sister?" Amos said with a frown, pausing as he stopped in what he was doing. Flipping the small magnifying glass attached to his spectacles upward. On the table in front of him sat a massive block of metal. It had been intricately milled and...

[art cred] Lately, it seemed Vel Anir was trying to show off how there was no issues between the Kingdom and the Falwood. Now, anyone with more than three brain cells knew better. From the Brotherhood to the skirmishes along the border, it seemed Vel Anir and Falwood were still giving one...

It had been a long time since Zaire Glaive had been back home. Vel Ehn wasn’t close to the Academy whatsoever, and he knew it had been both his mother and father that had pulled all the strings they had to get their son back home, if only for a few days to participate in the Olive Festival. The...

https://i.imgur.com/BMoYbih.pngObanese Lands - Vilre Estate Liliana gently drummed her fingers against the pommel of her horse, her back straight as though she were sitting upon a throne, listless eyes staring at the road straight ahead. For almost the entirety of the days long journey it took...

Vel Aleros - The Tea Room "Yes, Lord Governor I am well aware of what such a project entails, I would not have brought it to the assembly had I not." Elise smiled pleasantly as she sat back in the plush chair of one of Vel Aleros' wondrous tea rooms. The building which had long held the seat...

Close to the apex of the moons' height, the midnight hour was in full swing, and a preternatural quiet pervaded through the trees. He felt it during Graduation, and he felt it during his duel with Caeso. The Blackwood. Zael was starting to get sick of this place. Hell, he was already sick of...

In the dark of night, away from the taverns from which light spilled and patrons gathered, away indeed from the regular patrols of the city's night watch, an alley, nestled between a closed shop and a warehouse of goods close to Anir Square. Short enough, this alley, to where it would not be...

A carriage sporting the Banick’s emblem sat waiting near a guard post by one of Vel Anir’s gates. A group of armored men also with Banick banners surrounded the wagon. Some sat on horses, some stood by on foot. Kaeden was to be transported on this carriage from Vel Anir to Vel Luin. A request...

The Academy A gloomy, rainy weekend. It was one of those somber springs where the rain fell for days on end, saturating the academy grounds and all the lands beyond. The only dry places were those within the confines of the stone walls, and while on the weekends most Initiates often sought to...

The missive reached the party of Initiates as they were returning to the Academy from a different mission in the area. The courier approached the group of them on the road, flanked by a small detachment of Guardsmen heavy cavalry no less. Whatever business he carried with him, it was serious to...

“I can’t.” Everleigh heaved, her shoulders slumping forward despite already being on her hands and knees. “You’re certain of this? We could give you some water, maybe that’ll help.” One of academy nurses, a fourth level dreadlord with decent healing abilities, was scribbling on her note board...

Heat Wave She didn’t cry out, even when Marianne pressed the needle further in than it needed to be. Wincing in private, or as privately as one could when their thoughts were monitored, Everleigh focused on counting the deck of cards in her head. She always started with King, sometimes it would...
