Notable Places

Description
Desnind Proper
Desnind celebrates warming seasons and positive spirits as the city feels safe to a majority population. Crime remains relatively low, but the gruesome (and unpursued) deaths of the Rebirth Cycle, have perked the ears of doomsayers and vocalized paranoia. Situation:Cautious
The Makubwa Lori
Scouts, hunters and fur trappers report as usual, although few people venture deep into the forest. Once or twice, a deep humming noise resounds in the distance. Situation:Largely Unknown
Vyẹnyẹ Bou'ae'et
The Spiritual Bay sees an influx of ships and coastal activity as the weather warms. Situation:Neutral
Byth'ni Kanna
No one has travelled to the Dead Lands in some time. Situation:Unknown

Becoming
Becoming is a magic of hot debate in Desnind. Some believe it to be a great skill that allows mortal races to experience Moseke's creations first hand, in completion. Others believe it to be a bastardization of her work. No matter the opinion, it is a topic few are indifferent on. Situation: Mixed Reviews
Defiance
words words words. Situation: BOLD
Empathy
words words words. Situation: BOLD
Graft
Largely thought to be a means of twisting Moseke's natural creations, Graft has been mostly ignored and forgotten by the Sev'ryn people. Those who are aware of it viewed it as dark magic best avoided... until recently. Ni'oni, a Desnind local, vocalizes praise of the magic and gives credit to a stranger named Rakvald. Word is beginning to spread of its alternative uses, sparking a lot of interest to those at the race tracks. Situation:Neutral/Weary/Curious
Hone
words words words. Situation: BOLD
Necromancy
Given its ties to death, Necromancy is very much seen as a dark magic in Desnind. So much so, that the magic is a topic of many horror stories around the Fire Pit. It is said that if one was to seek this information, they must venture deep into the forest, to Lisirra's temple and seek out her followers. Situation:Very Negative
Rupturing
So much time has passed since a renowned rupturer has demonstrated the magic, the common people of Desnind have largely forgotten of its power outside of stories and foreigner retellings. Could someone refresh their memory? Situation: Forgotten
Master Long seeks a final apprentice to entrust with the defensive martial art style of Da'riya. He feels his time is near and fears for the future of the practice. Many approach him, and many are turned away. Is there no one worthy?
Since a massive brawl last cycle, The Karshe Inn struggles to maintain its upstanding reputation in the community. Salacious rumors pop up that Nae'ila has cheated on her husband. True or not, it appears to be taking a strain on the woman's marriage.
