Diarmhid tipped the small glass bottle of goats' milk into the baby's mouth. He watched her wide, sky-blue eyes dart back and forth, taking in the world. He felt restless, strange. He wasn't exactly experienced at taking care of children. Then again, if he didn't, who would? The baby would be left t...

I don't know if it's different with the new client, but in the old client, it took anothe rplayer and I *hours* to figure out how to make bread. I think you needed flour, a spoon, and a fire? Shift+Click is how you "use" thing, so I think it's something along the lines of using the spoon w...

She was nestled in a cocoon of tall grasses that she couldn't see out of. Her blankets were soaked, and she could feel little wavelets making their way up the shore. They reached first only her little toes, and then crept up to her belly, and finally her chin was tickled by the cool water. Why wasn'...

A horrific storm was hammering the oceans north of Gobaith, but to the young ones affected most by it, they had no such words to describe the experience. What they saw was a sky opening up on them; they were wet, and cold, and they clung to each other to stay alive. Mommy was gone; where had Mommy g...

Diarmhid ran through the forest, killing every creature that crossed his path with wide, blind swings of his sword. A huge storm of emotions boiled within him, things he hadn't felt within memory. He didn't know how to handle them, and so he just kept killing things. The whole time, scenese from his...

Diarmhid could feel his anger taking control of him, and in front of his eyes he didn't see his sister anymore. He saw his weak, stupid mother, he saw his tyrant of a father, he saw the orcs that had massacred them. He saw every enemy he'd ever had in his life, and their faces swam until he couldn't...

Diarmhid doesn't seem to notice the traveller approaching. Anger roars in his ears, making him not as alert to his surroundings as he should be, and the blood continues to gush from his shoulder as he pushes the blade further into his younger sister's neck, perhaps not even aware he is doing so. His...

Diarmhid knew where to find Devrah. He always knew where to find her. She didn't want to be found, but what else was new? He wasn't surprised, either, when she heard his approach and spun around. He looked at her coldly a minute, neither of them moving, and after a moment of tense silence he asked s...

Diarmhid's responding smile was slow and lazy, but a flicker fell across his eyes that were the very mirror of hers. "Let's not waste time with idle threats." "It's not idle," she whispered, and some sort of wild desparation in her eyes must have clued him in to the fact that she...

Somewhere, there was more than one man who knew the answer. Diarmhid Liioness strolled carelessly through the town, his eyes fixed on an invisible horizon point. His face was arrogant, haughty, his eyes dark green diamonds flashing brilliantly. A lock of dark-brown hair fell over one eye and he pus...

Diarmhid leaned casually against the castle wall, his gaze barely flickering up to the two women as they passed. One of them was his sister, the second one he didn't recognize, but knew from the way she walked that she was either someone important, or she at least thought she was. Scarecely raising...

Due to recent events (Devrah Windslasher's marriage breaking up) I wonder if her name could be changed on the server back to "Devrah Liioness"? I don't know if this is possible or not, I am wondering if it is, or if I will have to recreate AGAIN?

Diarmhid gazed at the cold metal of the sword throughout much of the night, and for many nights again after. He was breaking through to clarity; he knew he was. There was a key to all of the thoughts that raced in his mind.. now if only he could figure out what it was. "Too slow," he comm...

Diarmhid gazed at the blade of the sword.. saw his own eyes reflected back at him.... deep, dark green eyes the same shape and shade as Devrah's -- but so different. Diarmhid had always been gifted in many things. The firstborn of three children, and the only boy in the family, he was strong, and t...

Diarmhid looked to the sky, simply for the reason of having nowhere better to look to. He was looking for something; but what? It would not be answers; Diarmhid was far too experienced in the harsh dealings of life to think that answers would be painted across the stars. No; life was far more compl...

Diarmhid let his words sink in a minute, taking in the angry look on Devrah's face with satisfacton. "Anger is what kills men. Remember it's the most prized weapon you have. Now come on, let's see how much you've learned in theirteen years, dear sister." In less than the blink of an eye, ...

The man reflected on his meeting with Kamik Windslasher, self-proclaimed fiance to his own sister, Devrah. Diarmhid Liioness respected the man at first glance, taking in with satisfaction his armor, his fine weapon, and his strong frame, and deciding to himself that Devrah had chosen well. This man...

A boat pulls into the Trollsbane Harbor. As cargo is loaded and unloaded, a figure slips out from the lower deck and strides towards the mainland. He is tall and muscular, though his movements are still swift enough to be for a smaller man. He is dressed in dark trousers and a brown leather shirt w...
