Edward Thuri-Elendil watches the meeting from outside, pacing calmly, left hand resting on the pommel of his sword at hip. As the document is signed, he cracks a small smile

From the docks of Ironguard, Edward Thuri-Elendil stood against the winds of Lake Hakon. His head remained bowed, sword drawn and emitting it's soft light as it lay bound to him by his Grace. It's point was to the boards of the dock, its round pommel in his hands. Silently in prayer, he finally raises his eyes to look over the waters. Taking a long breath, he sighs out. "May the Aengul guide you, Brother" he says simply, sparing no more words for the dwarf of whom no mere words could describle. "Clarity through Courage. You've done our Patron proud."

Cursed be ye bloodline, with the misfortune of hangnails and stubbed toes

Edward tucks away the mirror, looking out to the waters of Lake Hakon. "Once more into the fray"

From the deck, Edward Thuri-Elendil directed people as cargo was loaded aboard his schooner. Crewmen readied the cannons and rigging, sails replaced and pristine. The Templar gives a small smile as he watches the other ships loaded, the land wagons already overflowing. Flying high, the flag of Cartref Mor flies

The replacement for the holy flashbang means that you can't stand at the front of a teamfight without blinding your friends...

To the docks of Cartref Mor, Edward Thuri-Elendil sits. The cannons had long since ceased their volleys, one last outcry for the departed. Alone he sits, a small flask in his good hand. Those olive eyes scan the waves, waves he learned to tame at a young age. Just like him. The push and pull of the water lulled his mind, which raced with fever. His gaze slowly pans down to the flask as he raises it up. A crest adorns it's surface, though not of his own family. House Delmar's purple crest stares to the templar as he brings it to his lips, the taste of his favorite whiskey overtaking his mouth. He swallows slow, savoring the taste and each memory it brought with it. "Here's a health to the company" the man whispers out, raising the flask to salute the waves. His head then bows slightly, a deep sigh coming out. He brings his good hand to his hair, running the digits through. "I hate you for leaving me..." comes the adunian's voice again, quiet and low. "... I ache for your loss." Slowly the man rises, taking a moment's pause to suck in a breath. "nes i ni gyfarfod eto, frawd". With this, the last of the two successors turns on heel, stepping along with muted footfalls and a bowed head.

Personally, it doesn't really make sense/I personally don't see why it's a smoggers addition instead of its own thing, but I like the piece itself. Very good job

+1 With the Bowie lifestyle adopted by a lot of adunians, even during this weird transitional phase we’ve adopted, I love this. It showcases very well the practicality of the race and culture while also providing a small well adaptable addition.

If you're gonna fight the good fight, do it a lil louder

How have you retained your sanity in this dumpster fire?

Unbelievably, undeniably, Holy Bhased

If you plan an Adunian, we do be vibin…

Edward Thuri-Elendil reads the letter as he rises from his morning prayer. The adunian offers no words of wisdom, no comments of respite. His olive eyes, ever retaining that surgical gaze, only studies the words given. With lips pursed into a frown of concentration he sets the paper down, raising the heavy wooden training sword. The future upon his thoughts he begins his training for the day, mind alight with possibilities.

Edward squints at the flier, as if believing he misread. "He honor dueled someone, and took his ear?" He folds the missive, giving a wince. "Not much honor to it."

Man actually just kicked a hive of stinger-less bees, huh?

LOTC is just a GTA freeroam lobby nowadays, and you can't tell me different

This is awesome! Bless your soul lol, and thank you for clarifying!

You know me, I'd kill for character art lmao I did organize them into a doc because it's easier https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p_95gMJ-mEGyrMXWvgUoMGFIFvTVQ-MkdPu-AcRb87g/edit?usp=sharing Age: 43 I think (though he's adunian so he doesn't look a day past 27) Personality: Usually stern and commanding, especially once he dawns his armor, devoted to what he believes in, get's flustered easy when someone acts motherly to him, a field tactician with the fatal flaw of abandoning reason and logic once injured in favor of shock violence Gender Expression: no idea what this means, tbh. He's a very stereotypical strong guy type, save for when flustered, then he just acts annoyed

From the edge of the group, a heavily armored Adunian man stood, watching with keen olive eyes. Edward frowns as he glances to the map, studying it quietly. Finally his voice came from the back, quiet yet stern. "How many do you think've been taken so far?"

A spot covered man, clad in dented and damaged plate, sat beside his fellow Rangers. All around, they bore the signs of their conflict, soot and ash stained their faces and clothes, his comrades in armor bore the same dents and scratches. Cillian bowed his head for a moment, wiping away the blood that had continued to run from his nose with a cloth. Beside him, another flexed their Animii hand absently, looking on as the others spoke. The man handed over a water flask, to which Cillian gratefully accepted. As he took a swig, he felt his scorched throat both scream in protest and cry in relief. He handed it back as his gaze rose to the group, forcing himself to stand despite the exhaustion and damage his body had sustained. He moved to stand beside a blindfolded ranger, crossing his arms as he listened to the conversation, his friend moving to stand upon the blindfolded ranger’s other side. With a glance over the Rangers, Cillian couldn’t help but feel a tinge of pride snake up his back. Despite everything, each member still stood. Proud, strong, alive.

From the streets, as he strolled through with his wife and newborn, Edward Thuri reads the missive. He flexes his left hand, still regaining function. He let's out a tired sigh. "Amateurs. Action above words, always." he mutters. When his wife looks to him, brow raised questioningly, he shakes his head before crumbing the missive and shoving it into his pocket. As they trot on, his mind strays while he thinks of a safe place to go.
