Deluthan's player (Jason) doesn't read these boards anymore. Work and our nine week old daughter keep him pretty darn busy these days. But I'll let him know what you said and I'm sure he'll be honored to know that he helped encourage a fellow writer. I had a lot of great Saturday afternoons as a tee...

Talsiny City, Talsiny Fourteen years prior Arane Nausikaa stared at her image in the full length gilded mirror while attendants bustled and giggled happily around her. Her petite frame was draped in a layer of fine white silk that was tailored to elongate her short stature and emphasize her tiny wa...

Atalaya Manor Fifteen years prior “Mr. Nausikaa?” Mrs. Kilmartin stuck her head out of Atalaya Manor to call to him over the pounding rain. Henry reopened his eyes and turned to face her. He drew a hand through his short dark hair, giving himself a moment to collect his temper before responding. “Y...

Atalaya Manor Fifteen years prior A heavy downpour had settled in on Atalaya Manor and it showed no signs at all that it would allow even the briefest of moments of sun that day. Henry frowned gravely out the window of his study at the dreary inner courtyard. He was not sure what was irritating him...

Atalaya Manor Fifteen years prior Henry stood at the window of his study staring out into the inner courtyard. As usual for this time of day Arane was lingering in the courtyard on a bench beneath a palm tree with a battered book in hand. The book was being ignored as Ruke seemed to be thoroughly e...

Atalaya Manor Fifteen years prior Several days past before Henry made good on his promise to have a conversation with Arane in regards to her future. Late in the afternoon Marilyn Kilmartin ushered the young woman into his study. Henry sat in a chair behind his desk with his fingers templed in cont...

Atalaya Manor, Talsiny Fifteen years prior Marilyn Kilmartin stepped into Henry’s new study holding a tray of tea. Henry Nausikaa was surrounded by boxes of his books which he was carefully stacking onto the shelves lining the walls. Marilyn frowned at the mess as she placed the tray down on his de...

Talsiny City, Talsiny Fifteen years prior Colin Kilmartin stood stock still, waiting for the young lady’s appraisal of the house. At fifty years of age, he was not a young man any longer and felt confident in his ability to direct the staff of a moderate household. That the household was of a bache...

Cletus Ganderfald leaned against the open stone archway that led from his study in the labyrinth one-story Atalaya Manor to his wife’s. Had she noticed him approach, she had not shown a sign of it and thus he had caught her in a fairly unguarded moment. The tips of her fingers were blackened with th...

INTRODUCTION: Background - Talsiny became a nation-state one hundred and five years prior when the local bishops of several regional states united under Cardinal Benito Emmanuel to organize a united defense against outside threats. This coalition grew stronger and encompassed more and more of the d...

Talsiny City, Talsiny. Present day. "We are deeply sorry for your loss, Lord Ranfold." Cletus offered a hand to John Ranfold, who only a half day into the new title looked deeply uncomfortable with it. John lips parted in a tight smile as he gave a polite nod of his head. He had contemplat...

Talsiny City, Talsiny. Present day. "On your knees," Charlie stated as she stalked towards the Cardinal, pulling the blade free of its sheath once more with the terrible ring of steel. The Cardinal's eyes grew wide with fright. Charlie's voice raised to a threatening level. "On your k...

Talsiny City, Talsiny. Present day. Silence settled over the room again for a long moment. Arane knew that Charlie was like an alligator poised for attack -- one fluid muscle made for killing -- and was only waiting for the word. Charlie, of course, would think that they could have both. Charlie was...

Talsiny City, Talsiny Present day. Stares followed the two women as they processed on horseback through the streets of Talsiny without Arane's usual escort of guards. Both women had forgone classic traditional Talsinian dress, something Charlie was no longer familiar with anyway, for loose briches o...
