Taenya was in the middle of a class on gardening when a messenger entered. "Excuse me, Miss Valmaris? I have a letter for you." "I'm in the middle of a class!" Taenya angrily stated. "I think your class can wait for this one. Look who sent it." The messenge...

Neptis stumbled into Durzub's yurt, laughing manically. She was covered in blood, and her quarterstaff was soaked red. "Oh Durzub, it was a glorious war! All the killing!" Neptis said between laughs. "Yes, you were right, it was where I was meant to be." "Ah...

In many aspects, the small farming village she came from was very normal, almost too normal. It was common for the time, simple iron age wooden huts, and a still developing governing system. Greatness starts in the most unexpected of places, as always, however...

Sirene burst through the door of her home, arriving hours earlier than her parents assumed she would be. There, she saw her father writing on the floor, holding his stomach and screaming in pain. "Father!" Sirene yelled. "Why didn't you tell me?" "No, stay a...

Sirene didn't stop until she found the strange woman in the woods. It was easy of course, she just looked for the frost, despite it being spring. When she found her, she finally stopped to catch her breath. "I am sorry, you know." Eigengrau said, her voice fl...

Sirene knew in her heart what she was about to do was for the best, but it didn't make her feel any better about it. To kill nearly sixty people, people she had known for her entire life, just to spare them the agonizing death of this disease. People who had a...

It was yet another winter in the late 790s at the Hissing Lobster when Sirene decided to tell Vaust about why she came. She had never told him once in the hundreds of years she had been coming, but decided now was as good a time as ever. "Vaust, a moment of y...

Lord Xilro finally staggered into the staff room hours later, looking bleary eyed and tired, like he hadn't rested in days. "She finally leave." He said, collapsing into his seat. "You look pretty done in, Xilro. What happened?" Taenya asked. "Horrible woma...

Eigengrau was standing in front of a table and pair of chairs in a room with no exits, looking directly at the Primordial Goddess of Chaos. Vordea had a look of determination on her face, and spoke again. "I'm certain, Eigengrau." Vordea said. "Tell me what h...

Hours later, Eigengrau and Vordea were done designing the divine barrier. The runes were extremely complex, and it was at least 17 overlapping divine casting circles. "Can we even cast this?" Vordea asked, looking at it. "Yes, but only in a specific order. I...

Neptis landed with a tremendous crash on the grassy steppes not far outside an Orcish encampment. She smiled, remembering her promise to Chief Durzub. That wily old orc was still hanging on, she could feel it, so she approached the encampment. "Neptis! Welcom...

The Rangers in Chillwatch were dumbfounded when they saw who was casually walking up the road, even though the civil war had already been raging for years at this point, Sirene Ignitis. "No no no go away you maniac!" one Ranger yelled out at Sirene. "We don't...

Sirene whistled as she left Ellren Serine. Winding up royalty was always too easy, but Syndra especially so. She heard Syndra shout something as she left, but it probably wasn't important. What Syndra had done with her soul was interesting, no doubt. Could she...

It was the winter of 867 when Sirene finally wrapped up all her business. She was sitting in the graveyard as usual, in front of her parents' graves when Eigengrau approached her. "You are certain you are ready?" Eigengrau asked. "You have had 70 years to pre...

Six months after Sirene's death, a meeting was being held in the Inn. Vordea, Agbus, Vaust, Sargon, and surprisingly enough Zalas too, were present. "Is she still out there?" Sargon asked. Vaust nodded. "She hasn't moved in six months. If I didn't know bette...

Syndra had heard of Sirene's death during the civil war, but couldn't stop to acknowledge it. Now that it was all over though, she told General Ryul she'd be spending a few days in Isca in the Dragontail Mountains, to reflect on Sirene's life. She broke under ...

In the morning, after a light breakfast, Syndra ordered the rangers to stay in the Inn, and went to the Graveyard of the Lost alone. As she walked past dozens of rows of graves, she reflected on how many people of all races might be buried here. Hundreds? Thou...

It was early morning but Vaust found himself already being interrogated by someone, this time Syndra. He knew she was going to be trouble, and he hated being right. "Who's buried at the Valmaris statue, Innkeeper?" Syndra asked again. "I know you know." "Eve...
