    Rainblade-Ryalors Private Zann's Alley/Backyard Sic Semper Impeccabilis

    Dusk let out a small chuckle at the mention of the potential use of the manor. "As delightful as it would be to see if such activities could summon the scowling ghost of Anithias from the depths of Hell itself, I think I might need to pass. After letting that many people into this space, I don't...

    Rainblade-Ryalors Private Zann's Alley/Backyard Sic Semper Impeccabilis

    Dusk smiled as she noticed Orina engaged in the same habit as she always did, mapping the exits, entrances, and potential threat lines as she went. It was one of those habits they'd both acquired from the lives they led, even though they'd spent their careers largely on the opposite sides of...

    Rainblade-Ryalors Private Zann's Alley/Backyard Sic Semper Impeccabilis

    It was a matter of seconds before there was the rasp of a bolt being drawn, then another, another, another... it was a full minute of locks being disengaged before finally the door swung open. "I'm so sorry about the delay, Ori," Dusk apologized as she held the door open. "I didn't consider how...

    Expedition [Urk Climax #1]: The Long Watch

    That, fortunately for Billy and Shorris, was the right answer. Tultow lowered his paw gently, calling to the marines. "LET THEM THROUGH! YOU TWO, TO THE BOATS, NOW. Chance of plans, lads!" he called to the marines, modulating his volume slightly. "Vihma, you've got the scope - if you see Stowett...

    Stoatorian Guard Private Maybe You Won't Die Alone

    Eirene smiled at the understanding and the generous offer. "I'd like dat," she agreed. "Is so easy in dis world to be mean. Is harder to be kind." She put her paw atop his and squeezed lightly, making sure to keep it platonic. She was 99% certain that he had zero interest in femmes, but she...

    Rainblade-Ryalors Private Zann's Alley/Backyard Sic Semper Impeccabilis

    Dusk drew all the heavy curtains in her manor one by one, despite the summer heat. Normally she kept the sheer curtains drawn to obscure any sightlines that assassins might use for a shot, only drawing the heavies in winter, but today called for extra secrecy. She didn't bother to light the...

    Expedition [Urk Climax #1]: The Long Watch

    Tultow stood tall behind the line of marines, partly as a symbol of confidence, to show them that he was unafraid of the wave of shrews coming toward them, and partly to hide the extent of his injuries. He knew that, by moving around this much, he was only aggravating the damage; if he survived...

    Piper's Lullaby (Extended Version)

    An old Vulpinsulan lullaby, anonymously written. The first four verses are most popular and are commonly provided in written form; the last three are typically left off the record, perhaps due to their slightly subversive message. Nevermind the pouring rain, Nevermind the storm's refrain...

    Expedition [Urk Climax #1]: The Long Watch

    Tultow's eyes flickered over the weasel, for a moment reminded of another young, scrappy weasel with a sharp eye and an archer's precision who he'd taken into his unit. There was some sort of irony to Vihma stepping in just as Piper was taken out, but he was going to choose to see it as a...

    Expedition [Urk Climax #1]: The Long Watch

    Tultow could feel his chest constricting in on him. It was getting harder and harder to breathe, and he was swiftly realizing that he wasn't going to make it off the island. Worse, there'd be no time to haul his corpse to the ship, but Honeytail had already been taken to the boats to be brought...

    Approved The Vendetta of Anithias and Armina

    Imperial history is rife with famous vendettas - those between Vladimir Ulyanov and Nuori Sken Freemont, which culminated in a beachside duel and the coronation of an Emperor, and between Tanya Rainblade-Ryalor and Jeshal the Ironclaw, which ended in both their deaths and explosions in their...

    The Death of the White Dove

    "The Death of the White Dove" is an anonymously authored folk song popularized in 1735, finding mass appeal in Bully Harbor during the unrest against the policies of Mayor Anithias Freedom. The song has been interpreted as a requiem for Princess Vaelora Ryalor of Fyador, whose death at the hands...

    Rainblade-Ryalors Private Barracks/Imperial Condos Such Devoted Sisters

    Dusk shook her head, smiling at Tanya's antics. "No, you can walk out," she confirmed. "Knowing you, I'm sure you mapped out the path on the way in. If you find yourself anyplace with skeletons chained up on the walls, though, that means you went too far; you'll need to turn around and take the...
