Tazlure

Galen stood up and acknowledged the two with a polite nod. "How do you do?" he said to Yelena in particular with a smile and a subtle tip of his wine glass. Yelena was a pretty girl who reminded him of many of the adhiel girls he grew up with in T'arquar. Like Deianeira she seemed to him t...

Literacy . Galen thought about this. He could read and write a little in both the human tongue and his native one, Adhiel, but only in the most rudimentary fashion. He would not have felt comfortable—in fact, would have felt quite embarassed—writing a letter to someone. I wonder if there's any ...

Galen watched intently as the captivating redhead Aerin returned with a tray bearing five glasses and a bottle of wine. “The Mistress shall be here shortly – just a few burns more, I suspect.” She announced as the last glass filled. “We have had a busy time of it all over the past few daysâ€...

Galen chuckled to himself. He offered his hand to Deianeira. "So rude of me," he said to her in Adhiel. "For all the time we've spent together, I am not sure we were ever formally introduced. I'm Galenel Brandywine—you can call me Galen." He smiled at her, partly out of genuine...

Inside the house was sumptuously furnished. The hallway was tiled with marble and stretched upwards not just to the ceiling of the first floor, but up to the second. Exposed butresses and supports gave the austere feeling of a church, while the large chandelier hung low and gave off a warm light wh...

As Galen walked up the street, the first thing that struck him about Thalas Manse was the long lane covered by the arching limbs of ancient oaks. The lane was presumably designed with a lord or lady’s coach in mind, allowing the owner (or well-heeled visitor) to be driven right to the main entranc...

"You're new here, but you should be able to find directions to Thalas Manse, home of the Rocky Isle Guild, from any guard, messenger or native provided you compensate them," Ashari said to Galen... "It is in the Patrician's Ring," she continued. "From the street, you will s...

"I'm in need of serving staff," she said watching his reaction. "Wages are reasonable and I can provide you with a roof over your head. Mornings are most necessary, with you needing to be working until shortly after noontide, well, until right about now, I'd say," she said while...

"If you stick around long enough I will introduce you to Motley," she said with a smile. "He delights in new audiences as well as students. You each could learn much from him." Galen narrowed his eyes as he gave the idea a flicker's thought. He had never before considered the id...

Galen guessed by the flicker in Gotham's pale eyes that the latter understood Adhiel, but saw no such reaction in Ashari's face. A smile crossed Galen's face as Ashari sent the barmaid back for more drinks. The human woman carried herself with great confidence and seemed to take delight in giving ot...

Galen thumbed the red-blond stubble on his jaw and thought for a moment. His eyes scanned Ashari's face then turned to Deianeira. "What do you think?" he asked her in the Adhiel tongue, unsure whether either of the other two spoke the language. But he wanted to reach out to the young Achad...

Galen listened to the lovely Deianeira sing and found it endearing. She had a nice voice—a citydweller’s singing voice, not the lilting, twangy kind that he was used to hearing from the fruitpickers on his family’s orchard or the well-honed bardic tenors who would serenade patrons at his uncle...

Galen peeled his rucksack off his shoulder and stashed it underneath a table adjacent to where Ashari sat holding court with Deianeira and Gotham. Maybe I'm paranoid, he thought, but the last thing I need is to have some knave walk off with my stuff. He clenched his fist tightly for a moment to bani...

Galen had the feeling he was being watched. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the woman with the twilight-colored hair glance his way as she spoke to the striking dark-skinned Achadhiel woman. He briefly narrowed his eyes as he thought of the half-elf in a state of undress, then bit his lip as he...

Beatrice, always minding all aspects of the business in the Burpin Dragon, quickly noticed the newcomer sitting at a table as he glanced over to the bar. She immediately smiled at him and walked over to the table with her natural flair. As she walked over she also saw Ashari, Gotham and Deianeira a...

Thanks - I've already read all the wiki material on Pan and his Temple. I was sort of looking for some more information. I'll PM one of the Citadel mods for the 411.

What kind of intoxicating/mind-altering drugs are known in Tazlure? And what is their legal status, e.g. in the Citadel, the Western Kingdom, etc.?

I'm new to the game (n00b-alert) and trying to read up on some of the history as well as recent events. What's the current situation with the Temple of Pan? I tried searching for info on this but am hindered somewhat by the fact that the Tazlure Boards search engine won't search for words with 3 let...

As Galen cast his eye about looking for table service, he was distracted, almost startled, by the woman who entered the bar after him. She was lovely, dark-haired and slender, an Achadhiel like himself, and she seemed to glide across the floor as she walked towards the couple seated on the other sid...

Galen cast a quick glance to a man and woman seated in the corner. They appeared to be engaged in some kind of serious discussion. The woman did not look at him, though Galen thought she had seen him come in. The woman was quite captivating, with deep black hair that had that rare quality of having ...

Galen Brandywine glanced up at the sign over the door that identified the establishment as the Burpin’ Dragon. He had been told this somewhat ramshackle tavern was a good place to start his search for a new life in the Citadel: he could get a drink, a meal, a room for the night and, perhaps, a lea...
