Esfir weeps as her sister is stolen away by the EVIL ERIK KORTREVICH!!!! She shakes her fists angrily at the sky..... ....Before running off to make only the best and most perfect gift for her beloved sister.

Spuds sat back with the missive on his mountainous horde that would make dragons and giants envious. The musin ticked with a pen a little piece of paper as he then glued the missive to his wall to join his collection of familiar faces “Maybe. Just maybe, this could be it.”

Glorier was the one who brought the news that his elder sister wasn't in their homelands for that is where he and his wife had spent their time before returning to Aevos. He was at a loss when seeing the reaction of the people around him, for what he thought was the usually time for Lavaelyn to go out adventuring, must've been darker in reality.

The old Oyashiman remained largely unaware of Basha's passing, and yet, the days grew longer, and the Adunian did not return to her room. Hesperia pursed her lips tightly and muttered a prayer for her safety, wherever she may be.

!!WARNING FOR MENTIONS OF BLOOD AND GORE AHEAD!! "These crosses all over my body," There were many times the Adunian imagined how she would die… "Remind me of who I used to be..." Living in the shadows of her past of a failed community… The shadow of her Sister she had long craved to be free from… That heavy cross that hung around her neck… "And Christ forgive these bones I'm hiding..." She had thought she finally got out… Having a kid… Redith Lorcán Horisp Getting a fiance… Roylan Ser Grant Making new friends… Gaining new Family... Aiyeis Acal'Turrii "From no one successfully..." But magic was never a gift… Not when it was dark in origin… It was a trade- and in the end The price had to be paid… ‘Shink! A spike sliced open her throat, a very real sense of fear going through her- just like when an arrow from the past had struck her trapezius. Though only this time, she could feel her life slipping as she fell to her knees- the sands below her staining in deep crimson. It was almost like drowning again… that feeling of burning in one’s throat as water invaded their lungs and nose- but only this time… it was thicker- her own essence spilling past armored fingers as the sound of her sword slipping through her fingers was barely heard. Pain… Panic- Oh how it filled her very being like a sickness. Her Genus she used now flooding her lips, her lungs, her heart straining to keep on beating! But it all stopped with one Final ‘Squelch!’ Everything eased away… the pain quickly snuffed out as Basha found her eternal rest… Her face forever morphed with tears and fear at what had transpired. Basha never thought she’d pay her price in Blood, and die doing it… But perhaps- finally… she could go home… Basha Tallis Horisp Formerly; Basha Tallis De La Croix Step-Sister to Meredith Nazenna Horisp 'Sister' to Aiyeis Acal'Turrii Mother to Redith Lorcàn Horisp Fiancée to Roylan Ser Grant Friend & Student to Madoc'Lur Friend to Hesperia Hargrave Made on May 26th, 2022 Died on May 28th, 2024 Age 129 (born during SA 53)

THE LEGION As a disciplined and experienced military force, the Legion represents the might of the Dwarves. Members of the Legion are utterly committed to the service of their nation, prepared to defend their people from any internal and external threats that may aggress on their mountain home. WHY ENLIST? Enlistment in the Legion is a great honour, offering the opportunity to serve with comrades in arms and advancing your status in Dwarven society through genuine meritocratic progression in a system that recognises talent and dedication above all. Additionally, you serve Dungrimm in combat through the honour and glory inherent in your valorous deeds. Once you reach the required rank, there are also several financial incentives, such as pay, tax benefits, etc. Your Kingdom calls you - Join the Legion today. HIERARCHY COMMAND GRAND MARSHAL (II) As the commander of the Legion, the Grand Marshal is specially appointed by the Grand King and directly manages his subordinates' duties, promotions and rewards. The Iron Legate leads the Legion into combat and is the finest soldier it has produced. TRIBUNE (I) Executive officer of the Legion, the Tribune is given delegated duties from the Grand Marshal to manage all administrative aspects of the Legion. He is also responsible for the issuance of rations, standard-issue weaponry and uniforms. In the Iron Legate’s absence, the Tribune takes command of the Legion. RANK AND FILE PRIDEBEARER (III) Pridebearers are the elite rank attained upon exemplary service; they receive the highest pay in the rank and file and financial exemptions. However, they are expected to take the lead in combat situations and have authority over inferior ranks. IRONGUARD (II) Ironguards are the Legion's regulars; this rank is attained once the oath of loyalty to the Legion is taken. These soldiers are expected to perform most of the day-to-day duties and attend Legion training and combat missions. GRUNT (I) Grunts are the raw recruits in the Legion; once a dwarf completes their enlistment papers, they are immediately granted the rank of Grunt. These soldiers are not accorded the privileges granted to superior ranks (i.e. payment) and have yet to take the oath of loyalty, guaranteeing their place within the Legion. REQUIREMENTS A dwarf must: Be a beardling of age, i.e. eighteen years. Be of sound body and mind. And possess a good grasp of Urguanic law. Not be an Ironborn. All Yrromar must seek a special exemption to enlist, though admittance is generally limited. HOW TO ENLIST To enlist in the Legion, one must fill out the following form and seek out a Legionary officer. [Enlistment Form] THE OATH The oath is the bond that ties a dwarf to the Legion and his comrades in arms. It is sworn in part to the Gods and the realm, so breaking it is considered sacrilege. The contents of the oath are not public knowledge. The oath is binding until death or once released from it by a Legion officer. “I swear to Yemekar and the Brathmordakin the following unbreakable oath, That I shall promise to be faithful to the Grand King “Name Here” and shall be so long as he reigns, I pledge my loyalty to Urguan and the Legion. I swear to act without treachery or evil intentions that would dishonour my kin, to uphold the realm's laws and protect the Khazadmar to the death. May Dungrimm hold me to my word.” NARVOK OZ URGUAN

Renata Alba prepares a fitting gift for her aunts coronation. It needed to be something grand, of that she was sure.

Renata Alba smirked, having had the gift prepared the very day the duos set-up took place. She'd look to her calendar, outlined with a series of weddings and baptisms alike.

The Duke wiped tears for his beloved daughter's upcoming wedding.

Somwehre in the frayed recesses of an abomination's mind, a friend weeps.

The Apparat wept, knowing that The Prince was one with his wretched father, his palm still bespeckled with dried blood. The Black Cardinal, he who rested in those profane heavens, welcomed the burning man to stand alongside him - the Left Hand.

Luis drew his brother aside, after delivering the invitation personally. "We could use a sit down and chat."

Perhaps, this is hell. Tchort wandered the putrid hallway, the silken, scarlet robe that once adorned his ravaged and scarred body in pride now completely ruined, devoid of its faux-divinity. His dirtied face ran red, two dark, scabbed spots where his eyes should be, a dried waterfall of blood running down his cheeks and neck, blending into cloth. His scarred hands ran across the pus-covered walls as he whispered his mantra without end. Your seat is stained my Lord, And your tears carmine red. A man is dead; a Prince is born, All men should die so a Court is born. All hail the King; A Prince of Nothing. Yilth’r Marog. His hands led him into an open room; a throne room, it would seem. He fell onto his knees with a weak thud, hands trailing across a damp, torn carpet that led further into the royal hall. Upon reaching what he deemed the throne, his frail figure rose, placing its’ mass upon the great stone chair. Within moments he saw once more; a sight without seeing, a vision without light. There he sat, atop a rotting chestnut chair, hands and feet nailed to the wood, yet he struggled not. The newly acquired vision led him to pace around the great hall, head frantically locking onto the nearby environment. With his feet he felt the ground, one not made of stone or plank, but gray ash and dead, wrinkled roots. His eyeless sight then trailed, seeking to find the source of such massive roots, yet they found nothing - nothing but a great, endless and dark void stretching in every direction. — The Prince was at peace, it seemed. A sigh of relief was given, as five figures then approached with a lazy step, each older and increasingly marred by scars than the one before it. Friederik, The Gelt, Horus, Ifan and Aesyr. The nailed man counted, each name spoken with a tremble, of both pleasure and terror. The figures stood a few feet before the chestnut chair, glancing at each other and sharing whispers, only occasionally shifting their gaze towards him, as if with disgust and admiration. They walked onwards after a short while, each passing by the chair, stopping momentarily as family members would before the coffin of a loved one. Tchort tried to move as they passed out of his vision, yet the chair stood stalwart, intent on staying in place. Nothing would help him now. As he turned to face forwards, an antique closet appeared in front, where the five men once stood. He looked down at his body, and the nails that bound him to the chestnut prison were gone. He rose, shaking and trembling as if he had not stood in years. With slow, irregular steps he made his way towards the closet, opening it. The inside was empty, save for a human’s left ear and left hand, laying in a small puddle of blood on the bottom. He knelt, hesitating if the offerings were to be picked up or left alone in their rest. The Prince signed the Cross, and stood back up. With a slow, jerky motion the closet was shut, and he moved back to sit atop his throne. The closet then changed into a visibly older one, and as the Prince noticed, he tried to stand, yet his hands and feet were bound by nails once more. The closet opened without a sound, revealing a man standing inside; A malnourished, contorted figure caked in dried blood and vomit, a descendant’s entrails hanging around his neck like a noose. With a heavy step the figure left the inside of the closet, and the martyr noticed that the other was missing his left hand and ear. — Tchort inhaled as to speak, and the figure spoke alongside him, word for word. Perhaps, this is home. It was then that a great urge arose within the man, and he could feel it rising within the standing manifestation of the Larian Wretch as well. With a final weep, a final look around the endless void, the duo began to sing a prayer. Oh black bird, Sing me your song of sorrows. Cardinal! Cardinal of midnight soot! What do you spy at the bottom of the well? Tchort felt a fire igniting beneath the seat, slowly pecking at his cold feet, as if he was nothing but carrion left for vultures. His fingers began to elongate, skull cracking and growing a snout, legs forming an extra joint. I see a weeping devil damning hell, Dancing, Dancing with its ghosts in its watery halls. A primal hunger took control over his body, and he thrashed, his jaws snapping at the man who only stood and observed, cracking lips singing, as did Tchort’s, involuntarily. It’s shadows sold, It’s children drowned, And it’s God, ever smiling? The skin began to melt, that inkling of flame transforming into a great pyre with Tchort at its center; his malformed, charred carcass screaming the remaining words of the song. O, little devil, crying in the well. Why do you weep, O why do you weep? Little devil, dying in the well.

Father Ivan’s priest senses were tingling. “I sense a fellow brother of the cloth getting too lost in Ruthern sauce in the force…”

I love peasant RP. Nicolas Murietta loves his farm. He has no dreams of social mobility. All he knows is farm wheat, oversee cattle, and be happy
