Exelous opened his eye slowly once more, his gaze resting on Yridia’s face - a mixture of weariness and perseverance. He knew her words carried weight, woven with her faith and the deep bond they shared. For a moment, he hesitated, the possibility that it wouldn't work threatening to overwhelm him. ...

In the dim, quiet sanctuary of Cadomyr’s hospital, Exelous lay motionless, his once formidable frame diminished by the grievous injuries sustained weeks prior. The sun’s pale rays seeped through the open door, in what seemed like an impossible goal to reach. His legs, once swift and strong, were now...

The night in Trolls Haven was thick with shadows and the scent of salt and sweat. The port town, a haven for outlaws and traders alike, simmered with a gritty undercurrent that refused to sleep. Its streets, usually lively with the clamor of sailors, merchants, and drunken brawls, now lay eerily sil...

Exelous stood silently within the stone chamber of Malachín's temple, the flickering glow of candlelight casting long shadows across his armor. His gauntleted hands rested on the polished surface of his staff, a weapon as much a symbol of his faith as it was a tool of justice. Today, his mind was we...

The tavern was alive with laughter and raucous shouts, a cacophony of voices rising like a storm above the clink of glass and the scent of roasted fowl. Amidst the joyful throngs of Cadomyr's denizens, Exelous sat apart, nursing his tankard of ale while the firelight flickered. The walls of the tave...

The moon hung high over the Shadowlands, its pale light filtering through twisted branches and weaving serrated shadows on the ground below. The air was thick with an otherworldly stillness, punctuated only by the crackle of fallen branches and bones underfoot, a chilling reminder of the terrors tha...

~ Exelous happens to arrive at the Necktie when Bidukan isn't there. He reads the statement and punches his armored fist upon it ~ You bring shame upon Malachín's name... Your actions are below that of a rat and don't deserve to even utter the word, cur! Mark my words, bastard. The free peoples of ...

One of the more infamous points of conflict in VBU history was the whole Cadomyr vs Freemen of Galmair. Most people, when they hear about the 'Freemen', probably just remember the spin-off group of chars that were expelled from Galmair and ultimately became outlawed in most realms. Actually, the Fre...

This topic branches from the discord. It was suggested that this might be a better place for it. What kind of conflict, if any, would you like to see in the game? Do you prefer it to be orchestrated only by a GM or do you prefer when it is a player orientated thing? Do you see yourself enjoying real...

Really sorry to read that you're going through a hard time, PO Amelia. I hope if subsides soon. The challenges that we face in our own heads are the toughest and I wish you a speedy recovery. Wishing you the best

Hail Malachín! All interested and honorable persons are invited to gather at the temple of Malachín and take part in the Thrill of the Hunt! Participants take part in a hunt for a specific amount of specific items. Participants are only told what to hunt for on the day of the hunt. Both the startin...

Findari's Storm Amulet https://i.imgur.com/Xw7Qz2b.png ~ An artist's interpretation and a description for this piece of jewelry sits at the top of the flyer ~ Hail! I, Sir Exelous of Cadomyr, hereby place for auction an amulet that I put on show for the Runewick market day. The piece is a tribute t...

Warning! Bidukan of Galmair was turned to an Ettin, at Nargùn's altar in Elstree forest. The commotion began following a game of dice with the fairies. It would appear the god of Chaos chose to make an example of him. Shockingly, Bidukan became enraged by his affliction and, quite unreservedly, beg...

Happy Birthday!

May Brágon's flames burn brightly on your cake candles. May Findari's winds blow them and set them on their way.

((The following is a collaboration between myself and PO Allesandra - posted here for player clarity of the situation. Characters visiting Allesandra in the hospital, guarded by Exelous, can assume that they are privy to this information. Any players involved can feel free to post here)) ~ DAYS FOL...

Thoroughly enjoyed the mass at the temple of Five that aided in clearing the plague. Also enjoyed the surprising development of the mountain spirit. Yridia is such a majestic char. Plus the accompanying acts of Drathe, Amelia, Yasna, Bidukan, Wynter, Deanna, Inara, Kath, Oxi, Guir, Drugar, Hur, Ragg...

~ Across Illarion, any visiting the various temples of the righteous gods may find that they see well-armored individuals in hooded robes, by each of the altars. The robes they wear appear to be embroidered and decorated with the elements. After saying a prayer and offering up a sacrifice, the devo...

Thanks for the interesting night from the Galmair gang. Sorry for the abrupt departure - turned out to be a false alarm, anyway. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes

Alert! During a reconnaissance mission at Letma, Fooser and I discovered that it has once again awakened with demonic Fallen. Individuals wandering the surrounding area of Letma should proceed with caution - there are many. Yet another reminder that we have sat for much too long on this issue. Whil...

Thanks to the players of the following 24 characters (not a bad number!) that participated (in any big or small way) in the HC quests in the month of May. Hopefully we can make more conquests after Mas. Was fun! :) S'rrt K'shire, Aleytys Lamar, Oxiana, Eraisuithiel Celebrindal, Titus Marcelius, Sard...

Hoorah! The Spiderwitch known as Akaltut has been slain! Our forces did march into the jaws of the hells and plowed through the minions of heresy. I watched as seasoned warriors and newly-wet weapon wielders alike did brave the Four Winds, bringing about an order to chaos! On the 18th of Naras, a pa...

Hail! Akaltut dared to send a fleet of spiders into our fair realm, putting her Majesty in danger. These weak creatures, although many, were dealt with swiftly and no harm came to the crown. Meet us at the temple of Malachín at ((07:00 pm GMT+2)) to answer this heinous act. Signed ~ Sir Exelous of C...

Hail! After succeeding in thwarting the minions of Cherass, in his citadel, we came upon a scroll that appeared to confirm suspicions about an old enemy. Akaltut is alive. According to our latest intel, the unholy Spiderwitch of the Uncalled is back and plotting her revenge against Cadomyr. Right un...

The only logical choice for Exelous: https://youtu.be/el8VIPRF0y4

Or this one. The lads on their way to Letma: https://youtu.be/btPJPFnesV4

Hail! Whilst the mission was indeed gruelling, perilous and bloody, we succeeded once again in our honorable conquest. Prepared for war, we marched upon the citadel of Cherass and ripped through the blasphemy of his undead minions. Putting a destructive halt to the insult that their existence puts u...

Thanks to everyone that took part in the 2nd HC quest and to Slightly for the fireworks. The plot is designed to make players work together and I hope that you're enjoying it as much as I am. Sorry that some couldn't make it because of busy schedules but there'll be more to come.

Hail! Following the success of our last mission that saw the ransacking of the hidden Dragorog temple and, the destruction of the Uncalled One's altar in the desert, the time has come once again for the brave souls of Illarion to raise your weapons and continue on our honorable conquest, in the name...

Yes, it was very nice to have an event that didn't revolve around Politics or War. There's a lot of other beauty in Illarion! And it is because of these few brave souls marching upon and vanquishing the unholy forces of the Uncalled, wherever it may rear its ugly head, that affords the innocents of...

Hail! The mission was a great success. We charged upon the Fallen without mercy, like Findari's righteous storm, and they surely did not know what hit them. Our honorable conquest saw the ransacking of the hidden Dragorog temple and the destruction of the Uncalled One's altar in the desert. In sayin...

Hail! Malachín has recently revealed to us that our collective dedication has been less than adequate. In taking steps to remedy this and, because it is long overdue, the time has come for us to gather and hunt down our enemies in the desert in a purge of the Fallen. Let us give no quarter as we sto...
