Tazlure

I look at him, standing at the edge of it all. He is my friend, he is my brother, and he is a part of me as much as my own skin and my beating heart. The slow breeze tosses his hair and his deep green eyes look out on the expanse. The sun is throwing its last desperate tribute to the day across the ...

Shylah gasped and in the quiet room it made Talanwei start with unexpected noise. Standing beside the Achadhiel healer, the swordsman looked at the boys hands. The outlines of a serpent and a hawk shone clearly and when the boy opened his eyes, it became clear to the Achadhiel what had been done. On...

Talanwei thumbed the note in his pocket for perhaps the hundredth time that morningtide, ensuring it was there. It was the note from the followers of Illuminatus. His mind was turning end over end with speculation. It had seemed yahren since he had talked to those who believed as he did. Ulder, the ...

Talanwei flew past the serpent and though he was wary of its fearsome jaws no attack came. The long tunnel stretched before him and a voice echoed along the walls, a plea to the boy’s mother from the sounds of it. The Achadhiel tried to coax more speed from his hawk. The unhindered flight brought ...

Two battles ensued in three different lenses of focus. In Torc’s eyes, mongooses, snakes and a pool of corruption and in Trajan’s a squadron of white nights under his command and a great black knight with a serpentine helmet. In Talanwei’s vision, the hawk flew through a dark tunnel of corrupt...

In a normal situation, the brightening of the surroundings would go unnoticed. However, in this cave, starved of light and purity it was almost as significant as a torch being lit for Talanwei. It gave him heart; it caused the hawk composed of the energies given him by Illuminatus to loose a jubilan...

On swift wings the hawk dove toward the pit wheeling past darting heads of snakes. Talanwei expected the hawk to encounter resistance but it was like flying into a tunnel. Except for in this tunnel, there was a palpable sense of corruption and the sense that things were writhing along its walls. In ...

For only a flicker, things came to a hazy focus that hinted at how Torc viewed the Aether and Talanwei’s hawk soared through the skies. He wheeled the hawk through the breeze he had fashioned in his thoughts. A clarity came to his view of the poisons as the well behind the snakes became apparent. ...

Talanwei had timed his visit to follow Ulder’s. The Achadhiel had been seen with the Swordmark members but for the sake of safety he had come to the tavern behind the captain. It was busier than a normal day and given the tension of the recent events the atmosphere was stifling. The group that fre...

As Talanwei cultivated his connection with his god and tried to mesh his energies with Shylah, he sensed the resistance given by the barrier. In his mind he visualized it as a closed door emblazoned with the eye of the One. It was a door that had no lock because he could force his way through but wh...

Talanwei had taken his time this morningtide even though it was still early. There were a few things that required the follower of Illuminatus’ attentions that morningtide. Ulder was planning to meet with Savarak and to lend aid the Captain he would make himself available at Tuirdhiel’s. Followi...

Talanwei did not know how to react to Ulder’s command. They were children younger than he surely. In his mind, the grotesque puppets made of the dead dwarves marched toward him in stilted motion. As much as appearances begged otherwise, these two were capable of atrocious things. No matter how Tal...

~~*Late Chyril*~~ Talanwei returned from the hunt exhausted. Trajan had been remitted to the care of an Achadhiel healer by the name of Shylah Boyd. She did not seem old enough to be a master healer but what she may not have had in skill she made up for with her eagerness to learn. He took most of ...

The success of his prayer and use of magick overjoyed Talanwei. The Achadhiel watched closely as Moon closed the wound with a much more practiced hand than he. Looking over to his handiwork, the follower of Illuminatus frowned. It was not bad for a first attempt but in most things Talanwei strove fo...

Bright One, make my hands true and my mind clear as I try to save this boy. To light the path shouded in darkness, to show a clouded mind the divine truth, I do all in your name. Whatever the reason for their actions it is my desire to save the life of one so young and it can only be done with your...

Talanwei felt the curtain of light drop a shade of a flicker before he saw it. As it winked away the Achadhiel looked at the two. It was madness that such young people were capable of such magicks. He remembered the feel of the dark weave in the dwarves bodies. His eyes took in their appearances, yo...

The wolves and pups are winning it seems? Hm, where are you cat PC's? I know there's more than two!

The grains of steel reformed, moved and their pattern was strong. Talanwei could feel the strength and he gripped the hilt of his warden blade with a grin. As he brought his blade down, it was on the point where Thrandil’s arrow had pierced. It was an odd thing to see, the arrow hanging in the air...

Tal would totally be a big border collie. Loyal to a fault, trusting...yeah, cat is definitely not his inner animal!

c'mon you could picture it, Tal with big ol' floppy ears and a tail?

We were talking in chat and the subject came up of what animal you'd be and why.

*that's what happens when you have too many Kanthrops in chat btw*

So, what animal would your PC be? What's your inner animal?

Wouldn't Andi be a little nonplussed if Tal-Alkeen just suddenly winked out of existence while around his hip?

"WTF?!...Curse you Uldeeeeer!!"

XD

"Come, we’re going to get you together with the men firing at the Grey Cloaks," said Talanwei. He would accompany Trajan to the archers, he would aid him if it were a faster journey. The legionnaire was all right, weakened, but all right. He was in no shape to assault the Grey Cloaks ent...

It would be a lie to say that Talanwei was not exhilarated by battle. He had wanted, since youth, to become a warrior for his god. He was not surrounded by men that shared his belief but they were just and strong. It may have been a naïve generalization to another but to Talanwei the men with him w...

It was too much. The smoke was too thick and it was charging through the calm glade of his consciousness like a rampaging minotaur. Back, he had to move back. So Talanwei did and it brought him a measure of relief. The achadhiel’s blades found their sheathes, with Trajan locked in combat with a dw...

All I do, I do in the name of your wisdom and grace Illuminatus. Your son thanks you. Talanwei silently yet fervently thanked his god for his blessing. As the weave entered the pool, he could feel energy in the very water. With the time he had, not much could be done to discern its origin. The woul...
