Against One's Will

AmyLauren — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:53:03 GMT

The closed horse carraige came to a rough halt in front of the castle gates where two stoic gaurds stared silently ahead. Christoph sat in the quiet confines of the stuffy, cloth furnished carraige for a good, long moment as he stared down angerly at his clenched fists. He was a man, damn it! His father had no right sending him away like this! Pride and protocol be damned, Christoph would not let this slide without taking some sort of a stand. For now, however... he was powerless. The young Ealdermen ...

She was six. Long, impossibly bright curls were held in sweet pigtails at the base of her skull.Jade eyes held a sparkling curiosity and love for the world around her. She was the bane of her brothers in those early years. She could easily squeeze herself into the smallest of spaces, only to spring out for surprise tackles and incessant rough housing the moment they strolled by. She was six. Her nursemaid had grown weary, sprinting after the child in the midday summer sun. The poor ...

A party at Alexston

Garnett — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:38:17 GMT

Cordelia is planning on throwing a little soiree for the ladies to distract and entertain while the men are off to war. We should figure out a date/time for this. The unfortunate thing with it is that it will likely require folks to be alting a bit, so we'll want to take the pace of it fairly relaxed. Suggestions and ideas for it are welcome. The tentative list: Cordelia (obviously) Roselynne Carrigan Naiia Aelwyd Quess Morgance Nadya (for entertainment) Nalani Mari Saeryll ...

She arrived at the estate where both sides were gathered, and promptly met General Alexston. A walk in the garden ensued, where she rather teasingly determined that she did not trust the General. [Walk known, conversation unknown] General Alexston sought her out in the parlour after a meeting with Drysllthen and Tyltin where he gave her a locket with a painting of the hilltop where they'd spoken.

Into Karmenys

Garnett — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:13:43 GMT

(Posts, other than letters, relating to the Karmenys Campaign should go in this thread!) In the months since Valenti had regained the throne, Karmenys had churned in chaos. As the only county that refused to swear allegiance to any of the many Kings over the past years and had refused to join sides in the conflict between the Princes, it had become a stronghold for those that wished none of those men on the throne. Self-rule was the cry in the southernmost county, however with three factions ...

At Drysllthen's order, the main thrust of the military is heading down to subdue Karmenys which has been locked in civil war and has yet to swear allegiance to the new King.
