New to Giralda, I see. Well, it takes all sorts around here. Take that shifty-eyed weasel by the fire.
Oh, he acts looks like a simple merchant, peddling meager wares, but watch what you say around him. The Empire’s got ears everywhere...
See those two there? They seem all chummy now, but that’s only because Var is trying to convince Jarek to desert the navy in Thisbē and join
those lawless bastards who sail from the Spice Isles. I’m sure that one will kill the other before the week is out, once they’ve got what they want from each other.
Then there’s always the usual mercs; bastards who’d happily kill their own mothers for a coin. Oh, they say those twins from Brelan aren’t so bad,
but a merc is a merc, and money is all they see.
At least there're no damned elves here tonight. One got uppity last month when I insisted the
bastard slept in the stables. A damn generous offer for a half-breed, if you ask me!
Mind yourself if you head into the Wilds. It’s full of things that
would happily eat you and shit you out without a second thought. Even the people who hunt those things are more beast than civil.
Anyway stranger,
what'll it be: a room, or a drink?

CURRENT MONTH: AUREL, 762
This month marks the transition from the scorching sun of summer to the cooling of autumn. The night skies become more magnificent as shooting stars are more frequent, and auroras dance across the horizon. Aurel is a time of harvest when the farmers gather the crops that cannot withstand the upcoming heavy rains of Nandir.
December 2023 Soft hiatus - have a safe, warm, and minimally dysfunctional holiday season!
October 2023 Site month change! New threads (unless set in the past, future, or an AU) should be dated "Aurel 762". See the Information tab for a description of the month. Characters in the Temple Crew should be mindful of the continuity of possible injuries, connections made, relationship changes, increase in wealth, etc. as much as possible as this is set after the campaign.
June 2023 Happy Pride! 🌈
May 2023 An affiliate audit has been completed. If your site's button was removed in error, please contact the staff directly or comment in the affiliate board.
May 2023 On of our image hosts (nickpic) is no longer running. Please excuse any broken images, we will rehost and replace as soon as possible!
January 2023 The site month has changed! Old & new Solstice threads may still continue at your leisure. + The Forsaken Temple campaign has started! The opening thread can be found in Brelan. This is set with enough time after Solstice events that characters will have no issue doing both.

There are some updates for Noria's post-earthquake progress and info on a major in-game holiday at the end of Sondu - this can be celebrated anywhere on the map but the 'main' event will be held in Thisbē.
December 2021 Soft hiatus - have a safe, warm, and minimally dysfunctional holiday season!

she moved with shameless wonder, the perfect creature rarely seen. since some liar brought the thunder, when the land was godless and free. her eyes look sharp and steady, into the empty parts of me. but still my heart is heavy, with the hate of some other man's beliefs. always a well dressed fraud, who wouldn't spare the rod. never for me. screaming the name of a foreigner's god, screaming the name of a foreigner's god, screaming the name of a foreigner's god, the purest expression of grief. wondering who i copy, mustering some tender charm. she feels no control of her body, she feels no safety in my arms. i've no language left to say it, but all i do is quake to her. breaking if i try convey it, the broken love i make to her. all that i've been taught, and every word i've got, is foreign to me. screaming the name of a foreigner's god, screaming the name of a foreigner's god, screaming the name of a foreigner's god, the purest expression of grief.

look who's digging their own grave, that is what they all say, you'll drink yourself to death. look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it, and what will you have left? out on the front doorstep, drinking from a paper cup, you won't remember this. living beyond your years, acting out all their fears, you feel it in your chest. your hands protect the flames from the wild winds around you. icarus is flying too close to the sun, and icarus's life, it has only just begun, it's just begun. standing on the cliff face, highest fall you'll ever grace, it scares me half to death. look out to the future, but it tells you nothing. so take another breath! your hands protect the flames, from the wild winds around you. icarus is flying too close to the sun, and icarus's life, it has only just begun, and this is how it feels to take a fall. icarus is flying towards an early grave. you put up your defenses when you leave, you leave because you're certain, of who you want to be. you're putting up your armor when you leave, and you leave because you're certain, of who you want to be. icarus is flying too close to the sun, and icarus's life, it has only just begun, and this is how it feels to take a fall. icarus is flying towards an early grave.

I woke on impact, under servailence from the camera eye searching high and low. The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime, handcuffed and blind - I didn't do it. She said she loved me; I guess I never knew. But do we ever, ever really know? She said she'd need me on the other side, but I knew right then I'd never find her. I don't believe in love. I never have, I never will. I don't believe in love. It's never worth the pain that you feel.
No more nightmares - I've seen them all. From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move. Every open hand is there to push and shove. No time for love; it doesn't matter. She made a difference. I guess she had a way of makin' every night seem bright as day. Now I walk in shadows, never see the light. She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye. I don't believe in love. I never have, I never will. I don't believe in love. I'll just pretend she never was real. I don't believe in love. I need to forget her face, I see it still. I don't believe in love. It's never worth the pain that you feel.
No chance for contact - there's no raise of dead - my only hope is one day I'll forget the pain of knowin' what can never be. With or without love, it's all the same to me. I don't believe in love. I never have, I never will. I don't believe in love. I'll just pretend she never was real. I don't believe in love. I never have, I never will. I don't believe in love. It's never worth the pain that you feel, feel. Pain that you feel, feel.

When the Magician appears in a spread, it points to the talents, capabilities and resources at the querent's disposal. Depending on the card's placement in relation to other cards, the message is to tap into one's full potential rather than holding back, especially when there is a need to transform something. There are choices and directions to take. Guidance can arrive through one's own intuition or in the form of someone who brings about change or transformation.
