Merrick was never one to wander the market, but that was before he had coin to spend. “I could see how one could get used to this” he thought as he meandered thru the kiosks and shops, fresh from the Bathhouse. In fact, it was his trip to the bathhouse that had led to him […]
After a while, the sounds of a horse and cart ambling their way up the road to the estate meet Bael’s ears, mixed with the light chatter of Merrick as he coaxes Bucky along with words of encouragement. Clearing the hedge, Merrick catches sight of Bael outside and pulls the reins up. Giving the scene […]
As dawn breaks a trio of Captain Munro’s troops several days overdue wearily walk back into town. The trio are disoriented, disheveled and splattered with slimy black mud that has a pungent sour odor. They seem to have lost some of their gear as they have no weapons and some armor is missing but strangely […]
Lunan wanders in after a few nights rest to get over his raging hangover, and meditate on the dream he had. Coming to the Amber library in search of a book or any scribblings he can find on the Eclipse Order or the Arborintirum, and any maps he can find that might have it as […]

As Bael and Pix set down for a soft landing just outside the Den Pix hops off the broom and begins running her shoulders. “Seems I got a bit of a chill flying against the wind.” And with a knock on the door, Pix calls into the den. “Ursa? Are you in?” Ursa opens the […]
Unseen, one of the two winged figures descends upon the Estate house, slowly circling the grounds as it approaches; if mortal eyes could perceive it, it would seem to be sniffing about, on the scent of some bounty. Finding its mark, it settles on a branch outside one of the windows of the estate where […]
Prism Keep certainly made for an unusual addition to the sky above Hope’s Bastion. Glittering during the day as if some cloud-skirted diadem while dwarfing the moon in the evenings, lightly glowing with its own internal pinpricks of light.
