    LFG Nun by day, Batman by night?

    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...
  2. Soleil Verdane

    Fate - First Reply Trapped in the Rain

    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...

    Private Tales Graves Too Horrid to Dig

    Pernach was a town under siege. Not in the traditional sense, no. There was no army entrenched around imposing walls (Pernach's walls weren't imposing at all, as it were: wooden, small, an ogre could just barely peek over them on the tips of his big toes). There was no foe which presented...

    Fable - Ask The Smallest Danger

    "Your Occlumency trials have progressed well." Though the dungeons of the Academy had grown a bit emptier and quieter since the Revolution, there were a few chambers still in regular use even now. One such room most all of the students had grown intimately familiar with over their years here...

    Fable - Ask Sly Sabotage

    It was an easy mission. So why did they get removed from it? Soleil had been excited. Which wasn't new. Missions always excited her. Far more than sitting in a classroom, wherein she drifted in her attention and seemed to study far more her fellow Initiates in the class than whatever material...

    Fable - Ask What Happens After

    Anirian Territory - The Academy Never once in it's five hundred years of history had the Academy been so quiet. There was no training within the yards, no shouting Proctors, no Initiates practicing their magics. It was an eerie, foreboding quiet, the sort which seemed to creep into the very...

    Fate - First Reply Hammerhead

    THE HAMMERHEAD ISTHMUS "Guardsmen!" said Commander Teritus in closing. "We are the hammer to the anvil! I don't know why in Kress's name these Kivren have come this far north, but we are going to smash them with absolute prejudice and take back the Hammerhead Isthmus. I want every last one of...

    Dreadlords Big Brothers

    "No," said Caeso. The Guard Captain, Warren Odal, smiled thinly to the big Initiate sat before him. "I'm afraid you don't have any choice." Fifteen minutes ago, Caeso had been walking to the Proctors' Building, a place which once inspired fear in every Initiate. It still did, but not as much...

    Private Tales The Lost Sjælden

    Your Highness, Thank you, for granting me permission to use the royal library whilst you are away with your Lady Wife. I do indeed promise to keep you informed on any findings I make of the Sjælden I believe to be hidden within the Palace, left by your ancestor Rhea. In regards to the offer of...

    Private Tales The Monster and The Burning Heart

    Rostok. The ghost town. And there underneath the fire burned. A consuming of the blackstone, the everburning furnace fueling itself in the copious deposits of the tunnels. An accident which years ago sparked the lasting flame. Toxic gas seeped up from those depths. Wisps and great plumes...
  11. Autumn Whispergrove

    Open Chronicles An Anirian Phoenix

    Even since the rebuilding of her home, Autumn had not spent much time outside. Her memories oft still plagued her and even with the revolution, she felt great unease around the Dreadlords that stalked this place. Despite all the constant reminders of a life that had been stripped from her and...
  12. Everleigh Ebersol

    Private Tales Sympathy for Devils

    Everleigh stretched her arms over her head, looking at the hazy sky. The monotone gray of the sky matched the same dreary, faded hues of color on the homes and all the way to the docks at the end. Where sky and ocean met was a blur of even more gray. Here, the seaside village close to the...

    Dreadlords From The East

    From the east, a violent wind gusts at the frontier of the great Republic of Vel Anir Edge of Falwood Easter Vel Anir Frontier He had done what no other Siruk Warlord ever dared of. Riding east of Allir Reach, further until they crossed Falwood and intrude territories of elven scum. Even after...

    Private Tales Words Not Made to be Believed but Obeyed

    The first thing Everleigh had noticed when traveling up this part of the border was that there were no trees. Even though there should have been plenty, they all had been uprooted and shipped off for buildings in Vel Anir. Everleigh looked up to the sky, throughout the expanse of blue there...

    Completed The Noblest of Deeds

    VEL AERELOS, COUNCILORS' HALLS Vel Aerelos was, as always, a grand splendor to behold. A feast for the eyes with its warm cedars and smooth inlaid stone walls, gentle lighting from its magical wall and ceiling lamps, the glossy shine of its marble floors. Yet Kristen couldn't properly...
  16. Cassius Amore

    Dreadlords An Evening of Lost Sleep And Contemplating Desertion.

    Cassius was tired. Not in the normal sense. After all it was two hours passed midnight and he was fully dressed and meandering the courtyards beneath his Dreadlord sanctioned living space. No, Cassius was tired of it all. The political obtuseness, the becoming numb to slaughter. All of it. It...
  17. Elspeth Sirl

    Private Tales Yours Truly

    Elspeth Sirl's life was a little bit of a mess, but that was about as much as anyone could expect given her current situation. Caught between tending her father post-revolution while maintaining her presence at the hospital, court, and on humanitarian efforts, she'd found herself struggling to...

    Completed Enjoying the Sunrise

    Beauty had a magic all its own, the ability to enrapture for a time those who beheld it and took into their hearts a true appreciation of it. Gulfs of time existed on either side of such a moment, past woes assuaged and future worries muted. A small, ephemeral paradise was there to be had for...

    Dreadlords The Siege of Wissburg

    Wissburg Edric wasn't entirely sure what he had been expecting out of a Siege, but it was most certainly not this. Over twenty thousand people. Fifteen thousand Guardsmen, seven hundred Anirian Templar, four hundred Medics and doctors from various Orders, fifty Dreadlords, and of course an...

    Private Tales Consequence

    Kristen sat in the infirmary of the Academy. Her arms she had held together, helplessly staring at their symmetry. Symmetry, that was, until it came to the wrist of her right arm, where the hand above was no more. Bandages concealed the stump. Yet underneath, she knew, there lay a most horrid...
