Astranaar was a town in western Ashenvale. It was host to a full lodge with armaments and a natural moat. It had the largest population in the territory and while there were many outposts, the town was the source of power projection in the province due to its ability to hold out under assault, though Astranaar had never truly been assaulted. The town was built to last a prolonged siege and that...

You wondered what would have happened if you never opened that book while the sounds of hooves stampeded all around you. Clashing blades rang out over everything and in the distance you could see Milk and Saedi fighting admirably against Khan, but still losing. The Centaur fought ...

You awake to a tightness around your throat. As your eye struggle to wink away the mist of the short sleep you were allowed you are finally made to regard the Gith; Lae'zel. She has a firm grip on the collar of your clothes and her form is bent over yours in diminutive posture. She makes an intonation in her language with a sound like a mechanical latch catching on something, then speaks.

“I would be honored to act as your retainer.” You bent down into a shallow bow. As you rose, Djir looked delighted. He pulled you to his side and began walking with you.

Lad shut his eyes for a moment. 'I”m not allowed to fall for the same thing I just chastised someone else for.' He decided. Once he had calmed himself down he opened his eyes and smiled, motioning to Dri.

Hannah hung her head out the window of the carriage to stare down one of the many rolling hills at the view of her town sitting on the steep, rocky coast of Cheshire. A medium-sized collection of homes built in a loose circle with a cobble road running through the center and stacked stone walls surrounding most of the old, purpose built houses. To see it from above gave the impression of somewh...

'I, Paul, was apparently born with no last name so my name was “Shepard.” I have a flock that was placed into my hands and a Mother and Father that look nothing like me. But they're mine. I don't feel much from them, but I also know they aren't like other parents. I hate when people say that I look different. I don't want to stand out or anything, I just want to live normally. I never felt ...

All the points that Meru missed before began to sink in. All of the times Melony would not-so-subtly hint that it was pointless for him to be working out since there was 'no point building muscle on his noodle arms.' She made increasingly aggressive moves to choose what Meru wore, favoring tighter, more revealing clothes and then there was the fairly overt physical domination she treated him to...

The moment Nyle logged in the emotion he felt was an odd, foreign emotion. In his rational mind there was no basis for that feeling in reality. But, as the thoughts of his Avatar crept into those he himself held he figured that his rationality was not long for the world. “I -Give Up- …” His slender shoulders slumped. It was useless.

Vura pinched the bridge of her nose. The Guarond retreated into his dwelling and for some odd reason she was the only person he would accept 'payment' from. Jeane guessed that it was simply due to Vura being the first woman he saw, or perhaps that the monster had a type.

Frida removed her headset. “Time to check on the stooges.” She muttered to herself as she stood up from her desk and stretched. Within the game Frita was a Plague Doctor.

It was a difficult path because, although a skilled Plague Do...
