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.

Callonetta was born to parents Charon and Renee Eilhart in Kal in the Thisbēan provinces. She was born from a family of hunters and solders who raised their children with touch love and everyone close in kin took on the role of parent. Perhaps because of her small size, or the fact that she was a girl Callonetta was treated a little more gently than others in her family when she was little. [break][break]
Early childhood: As a small girl she was a runt, not so small to be sickly but small enough that the bigger and older kids picked on her because she was little. But Callonetta was tough and even though she was smaller and weaker the girl didn't back down from the other kids. Time passed and eventfully the kids let up and learned to respect Callonetta or at least let her be. As she grew older and started to take on more feminine traits the young boys started to pay her attention and her parents had to drag a very innocent and naïve Callonetta from behind a tree or two.[break][break]
Teen years: By age fourteen Callonetta had become wiser of the world and she behaved herself mostly. She had started to learn to hunt and track prey and those abilities had grown and showed progress through the teachings of her grandfather Seirg.[break][break]
Young adult: By age sixteen Callonetta was more accomplished with tracking and hunting and she learned the best traveled routes in the land. She spent days in the forest surviving off the plants and animals, learning what plants she could eat and which were poisonous. Those who transverse the lands created huts and bunkers where they stored items of use, and tools to get water and cook food in areas where recourses were harder to come by. Callonetta made a list of these places which she would burn once she had it memorized.[break][break]
By this time she had filled out and became a very beautiful woman, Callonetta was used to the boys following her around with their tongues out. She played around with a few of them but none of them ever really kept her attention long. Callonetta had aspirations to join the military as a Kaimma rider and she trained hard and took on the biggest beast in the forest to prove that she was worthy. She wasn't afraid of the large aggressive grazing mammals on their lands and she knew how to get pass them if needed and how to hunt them.[break][break]
When she felt she was ready, Callonetta asked her grand father to join the ranks of the military. From there, she started to train with him, and learned how to use different weapons and how to fight as a group. Learning magic was a new thing for her and at first it took more time than she expected to grasp spell casting. The training was long, intense, and hard but the young woman made it through. Lastly after the ground and combat training, she was taken to learn to ride the giant Kaimma (war elephants). [break][break]
This was the most trying and daunting part of her training because if though she wasn't afraid of the huge beasts didn't mean they would obey her right away. Even so, it was fun and a brand new experience learning how they behaved and how to work with them. It was challeging and she took the challenge head on and completed her training. Now apart of the Heavy Cavalry, she lives a life more fulfilled and rewarding. [break][break]
