Ariss

Games within games enfold as those that one day are but the pawns of those that lead their fate themselves start to play, raising spirits and hearts to meet the woes of another day. Of all the places it is the castle of Karnaugh that becomes the home for such an event. Meat and mead are carried into the great courtyard and fires are being lit to celebrate the homecoming of the expedition and the arrival of the caravan. Originally preparing for their return home the gypsies stay after all, soon singing louder than all and entertaining the yard with their jesting and music. Darkness falls like a curtain outside the castle and the bright fires turn the castle into a world of its own, all sorrows outside forgotten for one night.

Far to the west another caravan arrives, the large wagons cramping the narrow yard of the Forest Home. Soon here as well fires are lit and tales are shared while the merchants haggle and trade, half laughing half trying to shout the others down.

In the south all remains quiet for a change.


Sorry for the short one today, but I am rather busy. Game meeting tonight at the Sword and Shovel tavern in Valoria, 7:45 pm GMT. New faction to be added.
