ONE:

Koral entered the mansion's hall. The skintight gown-paisley print, plunging halter neckline, slit up to her slender hip---clung to her every perfect curve. She wore a shall made of polar bear fur that cascaded down from her forearms to warm her as the cold crept into the keep. Hints of her still sun kissed skin gave color to her pale skin tone-despite the stage of winters chill in the lands of McCollum Castle. Her haphazard, long unruly auburn hair spilled down her curved back. Sporting a figure most women would kill for---she was the ideal and she knew it. And that she was so elusive---never married, and promising that she never would be---only added to her massive appeal. Everyone that knew her and even those that didn't would describe her as a free spirit that couldn't be tied down. No man could ever own her, possess her, or even hold her for very long. She would never be tamed. She never denied or confirmed any of it, just smiled her mysterious smile and answered questions with more questions when anyone tried to pin her down.

-It was time for his divine self to show up. The old astrologer still had spring in his step. In his possession he carried a staff that looked much like what you would expect a wizard to carry. The robes would be a dead give away about where he came from (will allow you to say where)A voice that one could call chaming would escape those masculine lips of his. And already he was casting those cerulean hues towards the bigger part of where he was headed. It felt as if the calling wind had told him this us the place the right place indeed-I know not this place but I know that I have been called to come!..Tell me what you have need of and I will comply!...-yep no beating around the bush- There was an answer alright, just well only super natural ears could possibly hear. From there he found his way to an inn, slept on the most basic of basic beds. When he rolled out of his slumber he had been dreaming part of the dream discernable enough. But the half that was masked some probably would say he should be concerned with. But with his wisdom beyond years he knew not to entertain such. As he git his body up and off the bed he stretched and grunted. Yep he made alot of noise this early in the morning. Drayce debated on whether to see about getting something to eat at first. But once again he knew that trying to face the day on an empty stomach could be a poor choice. So off he would go looking for a place to get some breakfast. The inn might have such accommodations seeing as how this one didn't after he inquired to the inns keeper. He did thank them again before setting out (of course fully dressed and possessing his gatherings) the door kind of made its common hinge kind of sound with a bit of creak. then those footstep sounds of his booted feet went on. The breakfast hunt was on.- Once tge breakfast dilemma was dispatched, another happening began to stir and If there was one thing Drayce did and did it well it would be accurately following his supernatural senses. The area he was in was the area of the queens townspeople closest to her castle area. He had paid a good price for a temporary living space. As he sat there on a chair at his table to some if they had laid eyes on him they could easily ascertain a trance like state. As he peered into the spirit world he could see the signs of the queens traits. In that entranced state a boisterous kind of personality erupted forth but as quickly as that happened it seemed to disappear. Another sign that would manifest a certain of atmosphere in the room and then after that it would seem like he would start to slip from the entrancments grasp. As he came out of the state he even now would begin to process what he had seen and where he would go from there. His eyes almost seemed medicated after the event. Both of his hands on the top of the table palms down. As his thoughts tried to persuade him investigate into going to the castle or some other means he said -nay I will not! ,in that rather masculine voice- and rested in that upright position-

The Blessing

Dear Lord, swing the doors of our Castle wide
So all people will feel welcome...and loved.

May the floor and walls be strong enough
to carry the burdens of those who come.

We pray

May thy Love and Peace
cover and protect
as each one departs.

::Upon reaching the camp, remaining upon M'Rain Dancer I gently eased her around it's perimeter. I sat upon her saddle, alert, but Thankful that the camp seemed deserted - I carefully looked 'round I felt a deep sorrow for
any that camped there. Friend or Foe; it had been a hard, long winter. It couldn't have been easy, there. Glancing back to M'Castle I could not deny that the person set up camp right in the traveler's way and made nae attempt to hide their shelter whatsoever. Finding nothing of interest that could help me determine who's home this t'was....I urged M'Dancer back in the direction of the Castle. Keeping her reins held tightly - we continued.....

~ Castle Room Descriptions Continued 2 ~

.....we continued! This time though, at an extremely slow pace. Oh M'Fortress so vast and foreboding it seemed. Half blinded by the sun's brilliance. It made the castle appear like something directly out of a fairytale. Her gray stone danced beneath the sun's radiance, casting a prism-like reflection to the eye of the beholder. M'Heart t'was pounding to the beat of the ocean and though I had nae view of it yet....in my mind I could picture the castles position upon the jagged rocks and it's walls being continously bathed by the spray from the crashing waves of the Sea. Patting Dancers side.....I whispered joyfully....."Girl we are finally home!"

{For those that don't know.....I'm typing all of WyndsoR's history snd scenes out of hard copies in probably 50+ notebooks. Some of the work is even just handwritten notes. I had to "take a break" from Roleplaying around 2003ish. It coincided with the time that AOL changed their format. We basically signed in one day and found the overwhelming changes. Us "hard core" players were easily paying $900 a MONTH. It was heartretching and anyone that ever played would readily admit that we felt so violated and life has just never been the same. I left to raise my four children. But there was always a void! I'm in a different place in my life now and feel I owe it to WyndsoR to rebuild. That's the short story of it all. More explanation to come! We'd absolutely love to reconnect with any of our old players both of the Light and Dark. Make a character and let's get playing?!!!!! *We do need both new characters as well as thinking of recasting some of the essential positions filled. Thanks for reading!

~ ~ In Preparation of the Easter Hunt ~ ~

3/28/2001

My Lord's and Ladies,

As Easter approaches, the Queen and her adopted Sister TristianLove have requested that a Great Hunt be held to find game for the table on Easter Day. To that end, Prince Nicholas and Princess Koral will be leading a Great Hunt Saturday in the Fields and Forests of WyndsoR! If you are interested please make your way to the Army Barricks to ensure that all proper gear and supplies are prepared for our trip. Everyone will be venturing into the forests to the North, and, if time allows, further to the East of the Castle.

Any Royal Ladies who wish to attend are encouraged to do so. If there is any interested falcons will be prepared for the journey.

Keep in mind that, as always, there are awards to be won on every Great Hunt. As always, we will be hunting carefully to keep the balance of fauna in the forest intact, so those who wish to participate would be advised to practice their marksmanship on the archery range (public room) before the Hunt.

In Light and Honor,
First Knight of WyndsoR
(Selika Wytheguard)

*All hearts come home for Easter!*

~ Southern Scouting Report ~
12/9/2001

The wall guard was renowned for their keen eyes, and energetic duty keeping. It was not uncommon for the Hawk of Cyric to come, and drop a message, as well as any other bird of messaging. Therefore when Azoun dropped from the clouds and unto the walls no arrow was loosened. Instead, he dropped a rolled script unto the top of the nearest guard, and turned, with a shriek, to the southern gatehouse.

The guard, sensing that the message was of some urgency had the scroll forwarded to the First Knight immediately, and accordingly, it would be seen by the Knights and her majesty, Lady Opal.

In honour of her Majesty,
Lady Queen Opal WyndsoR

In recognition of the Lord's and Ladies of WyndsoR,

76 square kilometers have been claimed, and dubbed Opalia.

Just across the southern border I have crossed a mile of sea where I have found an uninhabited island. As I may guess. it has been overlooked from land by dense fog, and by sea for it is so close to the main. The terrain seems much like our own, and suggests that man has not been here in at least a hundred years.

I must suggest as a Ranger that a Knight of WR is sent personally to assess what I have discovered in the Southlands. I know this seems almost impossible as the weather warms and chills daily, and the holiday season rolls around. I can however, not hope to return to the common for months if someone is not sent immediately.

To the most Southern tip of the border and over to the sea is where the Lord or Lady will need to travel, and there i will wait for them. My Hawk shall await ontop of the Southern Gatehouse, to aid in direction.

I have also established an outpost at the place of my landing, which I have made definately most suitable for a patrol of soldiers to hold and watch the land. It has also served as my home and base for the past several weeks.

Gatehouse Guardian:

PeaceTime Duties: The Gatehouse, or Falcons Keep {Public Room} as it is called - is the central entry point into the Castle of WyndsoR. At this location, you will be charged with greeting new visitors and announcing important visitors to the Castle to those who need to be aware such as Lady Opal, the 1st Knight or Lord Darkfyre. Your other duties are to patrol the expanse of the Outer Wall of WyndsoR Castle and in times of war, activate the Iron Gate of Falcon's Keep and repel invaders. Weekly reports from the Gatehouse must include a listing of visitor names and on what days so that we may keep accurate records of potential allies or enemies, respectively.

WYNDSOR Historical Documents Con't 2

Wartime Duties: During times of war, a Gatehouse Guardian is charged with the duty of protecting the main entry to the Castle of WyndsoR. With this in mind, the Iron Gate switch must be thrown {lock the door) when a threat is evident and once the Iron Gate is down, repulsion of incoming enemies will go hand in hand with the Tower Guards. Future training sessions on how to deal with a solution such as this will be forthcoming on appointment with the 1st Knight and/or Lord Darkfyre.

-Each Knight has a blunted Lance, Shield, and Horse.
-The Knights square off at opposite ends
-No initial roll is made since both lances are the same length.
-A simple roll is made (only one) to see if you can knock them off.
-16 or higher, is a hit and knocks the opponent off of his horse.
