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.

[attr="class","about_1"]FREEFORM HISTORY
[attr="class","skinny_content"]
Isabelle is the second born daughter of the Pierre family. She grew up loved, cared for and nothing too out of the ordinary, aside from being born to a royal family. She loved her family very much and got along with her two sisters, though she often felt like she was invisible or forgotten about, since she had always been quiet, independent and reserved. Still, she applied herself and strived to do her best in everything she pursued. [break][break] When she was 9 years old, her world would come crashing down when her mother died giving birth to what would have been her brother if he had survived. Distraught, Isabelle closed herself off, often remaining locked up in her room, isolating herself from everyone. [break][break] She continued her studies, however, only communicating when she absolutely needed to- only leaving her room when she needed to. Part of her knew how difficult it was for her father to grieve the loss of his wife, and Josefin had stepped up and helped with keeping up the castle, so Isabelle did not wish to be a burden on anyone and learned to take care of and rely on herself in her isolation. [break][break] After a few years, she finally and slowly began to come back out into the world, often going out to explore Triston- sneaking out whenever possible and visiting as many places as she could and learning everything she could. She met people and gained some close friends. It was then that she decided she would much rather have her freedom than to be locked up in the castle as a princess, but she couldn’t bring herself to leave home. It was why she often snuck out dressing herself to blend in with the people of Triston. [break][break] Between her studies and training in the castle, and the experiences she gained in the outside world, Isabelle became a well-rounded, talented, resourceful young lady. While she is still quiet and reserved, she is mostly friendly and caring- almost always putting others before her. [break][break] She suffers from anxiety, though she would never admit or show it to anyone and often hides her troubles quite well behind a mask. She feels she is a boring and dull woman, but there is a lot more to her than the eye can see.
