Erik Haldar
Established
Roleplay posts: 36
Age: 59
Physical Description: Scarred from battle and with long white hair and beard Erik is marked by life, and his old body is still still very much fit and ready for battle.
Clothes and Equipment: Gold and gems aren't his way of showing off power. Instead you will see him carrying his prized masterwork sword and runed iron ring, the latter which symbolizes the ultimate power in Taingaard. He often wears a fur cape that extends down to his heels, but also adorns himself in plate armor when travelling outside the city walls.

Erik looked at Freya and the horses and sighed. "I will have half of them stabled, and the rest will carry our equipment, Freya." he said with a fatherly tone of voice, though he quickly noticed the knights that were approaching them. It seemed like the rest of the soldiers all halted their business for a short time to see what was happening, though they quickly proceeded with things as they saw their Tain relaxed.
Erik stepped forward a couple of steps and let his eyes pass up and down Adrian. A soldier indeed, but was he worth his merit? "You would hardly know friend from foe if you don't know who you're talking to, would you?" Erik asked with a wry smile and proceeded to introduce himself. "I am Erik Haldar, Tain of Taingaard and this is Freya Haldar, my daughter and heir." he said with a subtle smile.
"Stables? We were just discussing that." he said and nodded to a soldier who had approached the knights along with him. Quickly the Taingaard soldier turned on his heel and started the process of getting the equipment placed on half the horses so the others could be stabled.
"Thank you, we will move through the city and listen for the bells. Also I hope your mead and ale is up to the task." he said and casually padded Adrian on the shoulder with a smile.

'Of course he won't stable all the horses, even though the old man probably thinks it's a good idea' Freya thought and rolled her eyes. He wanted to do it his way and that had served him well in Taingaard, but she feared how things would go when he would meet other regents whom may not bow to his every whim.
As the knights approached Freya stepped forward too along with his father and gave Adrian a little smile as she was introduced. The fact that he didn't know who they were was 'peculiar', but Freya didn't think too much about it.
"Thanks a lot soldier, I will make sure to enjoy the festivities." she said with a glint in her eye, keeping eye contact just a brief moment. "What may I call you, soldier?" she asked the Audrian soldier, the hint of innocence behind slightly tormented eyes intrigued her.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.
Allegiances: The Isran Empire

“Oh. ... Congratulations!”
Adrian’s standing with The Empress is somewhat spotty. He served Isra as a commander for a time, but that ended in a debacle involving a large magical explosion, the destruction of a keep, and the deaths of his men. It was far from an honorable discharge, and she found his explination of the matter lacking, but she respects that it probably wasn’t his intention to cause such a mess. This earns him half-sarcasm.
“I can only imagine how you must be relishing the joys of fatherhood,” she says, reaching out to give Adrian an awkward clap on the shoulder. “Give them my regards; I’ll see you at the feast.”
With this, a parting nod, and a small gesture to her entourage, The Empress continues into the city, walking in no particular direction other than in.

Post by Lady Kiri Hizashi on Jul 21, 2018 8:32:34 GMT -8
After the business with the inn was mentioned and resolved, what had looked quaint and picturesque to her was starting to seem merely provincial. These people were clearly not used to receiving guests. A lack of hospitality was an irretrievable slight in Tawakoshi, and heads had rolled for less, but it would take more than that to put Kiri off the banquet that was to come. She relished the chance to meet and observe the rulers and notable persons of other nations. This, after all, was the first time a Regent of Tawakoshi had stepped abroad in at least four generations. They knew little of the outside world, and Kiri intended to gather as much knowledge as possible and make good use of it.

While in Audria, Shintaro would be looking for Apothecary/Physicians. Being in another land meant he could find new treatments and medicines that might help with his condition.
Getting medical help in Aozora was more difficult than other places such as Isra. There were only two skilled healers living in the territory and neither of them gave Shintaro the results he desired.

Walking around, Selene takes in the sights, two of her workers trailing behind her. The two women are polar opposites and didn't seem to get along, which was precisely why Selene chose them. Myra was a demure girl with light brown hair, but she was rather feisty when provoked. Selene did love when they had spunk. Myra was clothed in brown, haphazardly stitched robe, seemingly willing to dress as if a peasant. At Selene's insistence, Myra reluctantly wore light make up to cover the atrocious imperfections of her face.
On the other side of Selene was Evelyn, who, like Selene, had a taste for luxury. Unlike Selene however, Evelyn did not seem to understand subtlety, given the excessive opulence she wore, with a tight, gold trimmed dress, two large diamond earrings and a gemstone crusted necklace. Still, she was beautiful nonetheless, albeit in a rather false and distant way, almost like a statue. Gorgeous, but never beautiful. Her dark, chestnut locks were put into a braided bun, held snug by a clip.
Selene herself kept her amethyst eyes pealed, looking for any downtrodden orphan, or perhaps young thief-to-be. Ever the opportunist, she knew these type of events were bound to attract all sorts of folks. Instead of her usual heels, Selene instead chose flats, unsure of what she would come across in Salem.

Warlord Shintaro Nishida would find that Salem did not have many traditional hospitals, doctors, or physicians. For that, the Clergy operated free hospices the for some were slightly more free than for others. It was a tall building, adjacent to a much taller Cathedral. The door was open and a nun would see him from afar. Approaching him the woman pointed to a seat in a corner. "Father Feurl will come to attend to you in a moment." She went to a panel in the wall and opened it, producing a quill to write a few things on it. "What is your name, what are you here for?" She demanded, somewhat annoyed that even now there were people ailing. There did not seem to be any traditional implements of medicine, but Shintaro would be able to quite quickly surmise that unless whatever his affliction was somehow negated supernatural assistance, physical cures were largely off the table.
There seemed to be an apparent lack of thieves even to the professional eye in Salem, a militarized Guard force carrying plate and skull-splitting clubs with crossbows for even the lightest of offences most likely being the cause. Of course, in times of celebration with so many rich folks around some of the under-class was just too tempted. A young lad came quite close, ripping off the necklace of Evelyn before he skidded into the crowd. He moved side to side quite expertly, several times taking the hats off of people to put them in himself and then swapping them to remove suspicion. It was not long before he was close enough and ran off into the alley. Yet, as he strode in a long armoured leg poked up to trip the boy. Three guards came over each bringing their steel batons down on the young man, before one gave a harsh stomp on his left leg soliciting a loud and painful crack. He spat on him and picked up the necklace, before standing up to get a view of the crowd and Selene 's trio. He walked over with a relaxed saunter, swinging his club leisurely before approaching to hand over the trinket with the first try to take it being false as he snatched it back in jest. When the arrivals presumably took it the man tapped his forelock respectively and with his comrades waltzed off to further aid the law.
It seemed the organizers of the events were also quick to learn such things, and the way to the alley was already getting slowly congested to hide the stricken youth. One herald bellowed "Hear ye, hear ye! Come hear the tales of Brother Jakob the Northernly Monk, Hammer of Evil!" whilst another shouted "See the contortionists of Rassen Street! Aspirants and professionals to the Orders, these men can shift their shapes like clay!"

Evelyn fumes, reattaching her necklace around her neck, affixing the clasp. Myra laughs at Evelyn with a vicious snicker. "Maybe if you learned some common decency, you wouldn't be stolen from."
"Shut up, Myra. Just because I know how to dress fabulously, and choose not to look like a gutter rat.."
"Watch it, Eve."
"Enough." Selene snapped, walking over to the beaten youth. Delicately skirting her way between the crowd, her mind whirling. Her lavender eyes were calculating, but she hid that behind with a veneer of warmth. "Are you alright?" She asked worriedly, crouching near the youth.

The youth groaned in pain, sitting bolt upright as he saw Selene approaching through the alley. Trying to push himself up on only one leg and raising a hand protectively over his head he spoke in two languages asking for mercy until he heard the syllables of common. "Sorry! Sorry! Please, don't!" He wheezed painfully, finally pushing himself upright and after a few limps backwards falling down with more painful wheezing.

Selene smiled softly, pressing a glove-clad hand against his upper arm. "It's okay, dear. Calm down," she stressed gently, a small, but polite smile adorning her face. "Are you okay?" She asked, pushing a pulse of magic to get him more likely to obey. She needed to know. "I am not going to hurt you.. I want to help." She said softly. Myra and Evelyn stood back a bit, with Evelyn holding her dress up a bit, so as to avoid the dirt.

The youth relaxed a little, the magic soothing his worries and pains. He was however, not a fool. Realizing what was being used he for a moment recoiled once again, fighting the feeling. "Who are you?" Came the stuttered demand, the lad trying to get himself up with support whilst doing his best to make it appear as if he didn't need the support of Selene .

Selene smiled, using her strength to pull the youth up. The Order "I am Selene, my sweet." She said softly, her magic still coursing, carefully mending him enough that his own body could do the rest. "These are my," she briefly paused, thinking carefully. "Attendants, Myra and Evelyn." She said decidedly, lilac eyes gleaming. "When was the last time you had a night of rest, a warm food and a clean bath?" She asked, pursing her lips.

At last propping himself up, standing uncomfortably but at least standing the lad squinted suspiciously at the newfound benefactor. His animosity and fear was gone, but the magic still had work to do to calm down the suspicion of the youth. "Why?" he demanded, confusion all over his voice. "I steal from you, why would you help?"

Selene smiles. "It is what I do," she said coolly. "Myra and Evelyn were both homeless before I took them in. Evelyn's parents were killed in an accident, and Myra was.. Well Myra is in safer place now," she said with a tight smile. Of course, only Selene knew the truth; Evelyn's parents were not killed in an accident. They were murdered by an assassin in Selene's employ, a shadow-stepper, who then made it seem as if it were an accident. This let Selene collect the pretty child, to mold her perfectly. "Evelyn, if I recall correctly, had stabbed me for the clothes I wore, when I first met her."
"I run a hotel back in the Free City, Isra. Myra is a receptionist in the lobby, while Evelyn helps run a boutique I own, separate from the hotel." Selene elaborated. "Do you have any talents, m'dear? Any assets? Even if not, I can find.. Something, for you." She said sweetly, her face perfectly composed.

The youth listened, not quite bothering to hide his skepticism."So you say that you are great philanthropic lady, save people from all sorts of fate they would not want. And, if I were to follow you I would mysteriously find salvation?" He took a brief moment to gather his breath, still inhaling in thick heaving breaths after his beating. "I beg pardon of you, but to me this would appear too unlikely, too... convenient. The Amalheidts have let Frans work comfortably and ignored the 'mischief,' I do not see why to choose this new path."

"Then don't. It is but an offer." Selene said calmly, her voice stable and even. "If you wish to continue to waste away, using your talents for thievery, to survive, so be it. Do not take my offer, and waste your life away. Or, accept it, and gain luxury you could only dream of. The choice is yours," she stood up, brushing her dress of any dirt or dust. She offered a hand to the youth. She stressed the word yours, giving the lad true power over the choice. It was what any young one would want, after all; control. Power. Authority. The capability to decide for themselves.

The lad waved a placating hand, not wanting this option to suddenly disappear from him. "Look... I simply want to know what I am getting into. You're asking me to leave home and everything else behind. It's not easy to do, you know." He looked at the hand she put forth, and his face creased with indecision. "What would I do? I can't just drop into a mystery." He said. "I do not mean to insult you, but I can't just have someone guarantee things and have me follow it like that. Is the choice really mine if I do not know what I truly choose?"

"Assuming you have no viable talents, capabilities or assets, which I doubt, I would likely have you clean clothes, or simply protect a few of my.. Valuable, but not vital clients." She toyed with a few other ideas internally, but the youth wasn't particularly attractive. "You would earn a pay. The costs of a roof, food and bathing would be paid for, and you wouldn't need to worry about them."

The lad tried to pace back in forth in contemplation, but stopped as pain in his leg resumed. He did not know what he was getting into, but the lady's offer sure was attractive. But, what if he went with her and ended up thrown in a pit as a slave? What if his job included cooking babies for excessive gourmands? Yet... what other choice did he have? Sure he could earn a decent living at his current position, supplemented by a bit of thievery but didn't his Master and Mistress tell him that those who take risks are always the most successful?
"Fine!" He exclaimed, and after a brief pause, repeated himself. "Fine. But, I need to know, why the hell me?"

Her lips quirked upwards briefly, before schooling to a neutral expression. "I know how to recognize a soul in need," She said softly. She offered her hand.
"Any talents or particular assets you have, can surely help me find an appropriate position. Best not to squander any potential you might have. What might they be?"
