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.

At first, they called them the undead, but everyone knew the truth, long before the newspapers printed it. The dead were not rising, no, the living were falling. Leaders, saints, and parents alike had their minds destroyed, and their bodies ripped apart by boils.
They were not humans, no, but they weren't quite animals either. They cared about one thing, and one thing only: Meat. The meat of children.
The disease tore apart the horribly fragile world. It spread like wildfire, and the Earth was knocked from its very foundations. It only took a month. A month, and human civilization, from Iceland to Thailand to Peru, was no more.
But not all was lost. Not yet.
"The kids, they're all that's left. Pray for them. Please, just pray."
It was the last headline printed, before the journalists who had written it tore each other apart, limb from limb.
The disease destroyed the minds and bodies of everyone on the planet—almost. Despite its utter cruelty, it passed over the children. Anyone of less than 16 years, they suffered not even the slightest cough. No, their suffering was greater, as they watched their parents, teachers, and siblings turn into horrid beasts, with blood staining their teeth.

Remnants is a literate forum roleplay set in 2021, after a pandemic known as The Outbreak wiped out 90% of life on Earth. Now, a year has passed, and the world has been flipped around.
Those who turn sixteen do not grow sick. The disease seems to have sated its hunger. Now, those who survived have been left to pick up the pieces. They are the Remnants.
Remnants takes place in Western Seattle, where several groups of kids have carved out their own ways of life. From the Space Needle, the City Council watches with an air of disapproval, while The Legion fights amongst themselves, tooth and nail, to raise their own rank in the pecking order. Meanwhile, the Pacifics are divided between science and faith, and the Kids of the Pasture have created an entirely different faith, in which the Goddesses impart to them the messages of The Core. Above the world, the Jackals on the railroad tracks watch with a smirk as the Boardwalk Kids scavenge deeper and deeper into the city, under the orders of their tyrannical deputy.
In all this conflict, the encroaching flame is ignored. But, soon, every kid in Seattle will have to fight to protect their homes.

Remnants is rated PG-13 for moderate swearing, as well as sexual references and moderate violence.
