1st of Ymiden

Ymiden was simultaneously the best and worst part of the arc in Braker's opinion. The sun was shining, the air was clean in the city of birds, and there was no more damned cold that sapped the heat out of his fingers and turned shields into gigantic ice chips. The wind was warm and...

1st of Saun, arc 717

Often, it is those that are least expected to break the mold that do so the most effectively. As an Avriel, many don't expect Kalortah to become the next great singer and songwriter of Idalos, but if he tries hard, he can do so. And it is often in the least expected place...

A cargo of flesh arrived aboard a galley, which had embarked from parts unknown, to find berth in Athart, the slave capitol of Idalos. Chains and shackles clinked against the wood of the deck as they were led up from the filthy, rat-infested bowels of their galleys, and...

Kalortah wasn't happy about the arrangement he was about to embark on. As an aspiring poet, singer, and song writer, he did not relish the idea of work . The whole point of singing songs and looking glorious was to evade the iron vice of soul-crushing labor. Yet here he...

The scent of perfume and incense was strong in the air of the tailor and weaver’s shop in the Trade District of Athart. Kalortah had already purchased the articles he needed for his wardrobe. All that was needed now was to have them fitted and adjusted.

So he walked...

22nd Vhalar, 710

The trip from Rynmere had been a nightmare. Kirei had never known so much water existed in all the world. Having never been on a ship before, Kirei had spent most of the trip struggling to keep down what little food and water she'd been given. And most of the time, she had...

Life seemed to finally be falling into a routine for Kirei. It wasn't one that she liked; she hated being a slave, and everything that went along with it. But a routine was...safe. Predictable. It was a far cry from life on the streets. Back in Lowtown, she never knew where...

18th trial of Ymiden. 717

It was an early evening in Athart, and the sky was still red where the sun had just set. The cold was slowly creeping into the air, but at the market district, the nearby sea still radiated the heat accumulated over the day. It was that nameless transitional time, where...

The morning air over Athart was cold despite the current season. Even as the lower parts of Athart benefitted from the presence of the warm sea, the cliffs in the Avriel sector had much lower heat retention. The sun wasn’t up yet, but the horizon was already glowing red...
