As ships voyage to the Isle of Ulvrive a wall of mountains appear on the horizon. As they sail to the south side of the mountainous visage reveals a break in the mountains, a wide and deep river feeding into the ocean. A single watchtower stands in front of this river mouth on an artificial island, a communicable point between incoming vessels and the defenses inside the island. Sailing into the river will lead you through the mountains into a forested land. Two blue-grey stone towers etched with Nordic knots and runes stand, the Sentinel Towers, on opposite banks of the river. Hidden mechanisms beneath the waters wait to spring up and halt any hostile vessels. A small fortress offers a dock where suspicious vessels can be inspected. |

Father Silas
New
Roleplay posts: 4
Age: 28
Physical Description: *********************
When last seen, Captain Silas was a wolf of a man, with his thick hair, strong arms and hale physique. His skin was weathere from years at sea, sailing for the clan, repeling raiders, manning oars, climbing the rigging. He was never a tall man like most, but he was quick on his feet, fast with his hands and swifter with his sharp tongue and wit.
But the man who recovered after washing up on shore was altogether different. His strong arms were leaner now, his face marred with a wicked scar, eyes deeper set and sunken after having seen something that seems to haunt him still. The two leftmost fingers on his left hand are gone, as is his left leg below the knee.
But his hair is streaked with thick veins of iron grey and white, even his beard gone ashen in some places. A man once vital and vibrant was siphoned of his youth, having been privy to horrors that left him wounded in body and soul.
Clothes and Equipment: *********************
He still sports his usual clothes of a heavy tunic and a vest atop it, heavy trousers and now one good boot. An old sword still hangs at his hip and he hobbles about with surprising alacrity with a scrimshawed crutch of whalebone he keeps tucked under his left arm.
All around his body are charms; pockets full of shells, small jars of sand or ocean water, a necklace of driftwood and bone. An old cloak of tattered sailcloth hangs about his shoulders.

This was supposed to be home. He and a boatful of crewmen had sailed here but months prior with their sights set on a new home for the clan. It was a cold wind that embraced Silas on the deck of the merchant ship that brought him to Ulvrive. In the distant swell of the waves, he fancied hearing the sound of battle, the screaming of his crews, the horrid splintering sound of the mast as it snapped in the storm.
There was no sound but the sound of the waves, the snapping of the sails above him in the cold winds, and the distant cry of gulls.
Home. He wondered what it would look like. He clutched the railing of the ship he was a passenger on and watched as land approached.

Dedicated
Varan Adventurer
Roleplay posts: 299
Age: 25
Physical Description: An athletically-built man weighing 160 lbs and standing 6 feet high. He has fierce blue eyes set into a wolfish face. His dark brown hair is usually pulled back into a braid on the back of his head. Well-groomed facial hair, for which he is proud of, covers the bottom half of his face.
=====
Clothes and Equipment: Ralf's primary possessions include his Hirhanic Shield, Mariah's Dagger, his Ancestral Sword, and his Ki'Gar.
The Hirhanic Shield is able to absorb various forms of energy: physical, magical, or otherwise. He can release this energy in the form of shockwaves on command. This item was a gift from his friend Hirhan.
Mariah's Dagger was looted from Mariah's corpse in Aozora. The dagger is able to absorb magical energy from its victims.
Ralf's ancestral sword is of exquisite make; it is an ancient weapon forged in a forgotten age using a rare material. It has the potential to channel 'the Power of the Old Gods', but Ralf is oblivious to this and the weapon is never used.
Ralf's ki'gar, or 'kin garb', is blue with white borders. A white wolf's head is emblazoned in the center, with the family name "VALGARD" written across the bottom. He usually wears the garment as a scarf or cowl.
Currently Ralf carries a a two-handed battle-axe.

Having traveled northwest from their original location, Ralf and Rani would find a small Varan convoy on a river. Their longboat was loaded with various goods native to Asgeir, and soon they would sail upriver and make way for Venland. Ultimately they'd come to the Mouth of Ulvrive and sail through. "There mi'lord," one of the Varan crewman stood up and pointed at the towers. "Those are the Sentinel Towers. That means we're here." Ralf observed the towers, the mountains, the river, and the forests. This was a beautiful land, much like Asgeir. He stood at the bow of the ship, one hand hanging onto its dragon-shaped hull. The Varan crew continued to row their little ship down the river, eager to sell their goods and make a profit. Up to thirty traders could fit on this vessel comfortably, though only twenty-five occupied it at the moment, including Ralf and Rani. "I hope Uzi didn't mind the boatride," he joked to Rani. "I shall acquire a new steed while we're here in Venland. Maybe you'll find some new buyers for your crops, no? Maybe we'll find a bit of work as well." ( Rani) ( Clan Volknir) |

Father Silas ) A simple watch tower built cleverly to allow storm wind to leave it unscathed and easily rebuilt should it be destroyed. It would stand before a channel of water walled on either side by shear cliffs and mountains. A quick exchange of signals passed between the wooden tower and Silas' vessel to clear it for entry. The vessel entered the mouth. The algae covered stone dwarfed even the largest ships and after nearly an hour the stone guardians made way. Two stone towers, square and solid, stood like a threshold on the river with moss and algae covered chains running from them into the river. Around was a forest of strong old growth. (OOC Ralf Valgard, the White Wolf , you're clear to the docks at the city when you are ready)

( Rani ) ( Clan Volknir ) "Well he's not used to water, but as long as he's not too close to it, he seems to have settled down." Uzi grumbled as he was uncomfortable with all the water around him, being from a very dry region, but since he was sleeping most of the trip he didn't have to look at the water. Rani liked being on the boat ride, it reminded her of their adventure to Darastrix, the dragon island. "If I could find more buyers for my Kiwano it would be fantastic!" Coming into the Venland territory, Rani was impressed by the landscape surrounding them. |

Rani would have found herself under the protection of Ralf and the warrior-traders on the longship. She would be allowed to accompany them to the docks, where Ralf and some of his men would depart for the Spoils of War. Rani could either come with Ralf to the brothel, or go her own way - perhaps seeking a seller for her kiwano. If she needed some protection Ralf would assign three Varan to guard her, all of them armored with mail and equipped with swords, axes, and shields.

Rani would meet up with Ralf later and give him privacy, exploring the area and looking for buyers for her fruit. She'd also scout for heroic talent. |
