Esmerelda clasped her hands together with glee.

"Perfect! So who wants to begin with a tale of their exploits?"

Seeing Legion's confusion, her smile lessened a bit. Was this the price she was going to have to pay for her position- no one understanding when she meant to jest? But perhaps Gil Galad had the key as she saw Legion perk up at the mention up cake. "No fear, I meant it as a jest. I'm so sick of ...

Exhausted by a long day of travelling villages, it seemed Esmerelda has scarcely fallen asleep when the rolling of thunder woke her. Peering out her window, she blinked in astonishment, trying to decide if she had truly woken or was dreaming. Deciding it must be the former, she quietly slipped out o...

As the clamor came down the stairwell, Esmerelda spun around in alarm. Seeing a prone body, she quickly ran over with a small cry of alarm. As Legion announced he"meant to do that," a stern look came over her face. "How dare you interrupt the laidies," she said sternly. Giving Al...

The courtyard of the castle lay piled in drifts of snow, with just a few narrow paths leading to the towers and gate cut throught them. In the main room of the keep, surrounded by several sheaves of paper, the Queen sighed and pushed her research away from her. Too long spent piecing together the fr...

Ok I know, two weeks later is a bit late to post, but real life led to being away from the boards for a bit... I had SO much fun at the event! The Shem plot was fun and so tempting to jump down the mole hole, even with the fancy dress on. Although I don't reccomend running through snow fields in a h...

As the snow softly drifted downward in the courtyard, a curtain was pushed back to contemplate its fall. Silhoutted by a single candle, the queen stared out into the night. Tomorrow she would leave for the Mining Village to treat with Anwar and see if they might not free him from his prison. Two day...

Esmerelda held up a hand in order to attempt to stop the barrage outpouring from the Guthrie's mouth. Blinking at a momentary loss for words, she took a deep breath. "Let's stick to the matter at hand right now, er, Ducken. So you came here with Sapphire. That certainly explains a lot. Now, you...

The Queen blinks as the small blue whirlwind reenters the inn and gives his speech about being her new "potions expert". As she tried to calmly descend the stairs, the corners of her mouth kept twitching and seemed to not want to stay in the stern visage she was trying vainly to comport. &...

Adam and I will be bringing crock pot mashed potatos and sweedish meatballs.

And possibly one other thing, which I will update at a later date...

Esmerelda watched the exchange between Sapphire and Paer' An with interest. As she was about to reply to her Lord Marshall's admonition of travelling without an escort the explsoion sounded followed by the fleeing Guthrie. "Someone should probably go after him. But please," she added as an...

A hooded figured that had previously remained in the background in the hallway near the back door to the inn stepped forward. A voice cold and bareley controlled to withhold its anger came from with the hood. "There will never be hunting of the Sylvani in my kingdom. Ever." Esmerelda pushe...

"Safe journey," Esmerelda wishes Paer ' An as he heads out the door. Looking at Garritt, she nods in understanding. "I see. A thank you to both you and Rylls then and your assistance shall be much appreicated. If he does not mind then, I will give you a copy of the formula and have yo...

Standing on the southwest tower of the keep, Haven's Queen watches the sun slowly sink below the horizon. As dusk settles about the castle, she decends to the courtyard and the bonfire that has been lit there. Sinking to her knees before the blaze, she pulls a small knife. Swiftly she cuts off a sma...

Esmerelda turns a puzzled look to Garritt. "I do not believe I've met someone named Rylls? But any assistance will be much appreciated." She then turns to the Lord Marshall. "Nothing yet on the Heart. At least no more than the old legends have told us. We know the story of the trapped...
