Two large gates of thick wood and steel are built into the fortified walls of Isra, together serving as one of the main entrances into the city. Each gate is situated at one end of the tunnel piercing the bulk of the wall, and is accompanied by a steel portcullis on each end that can be dropped at a moment's notice. Both outside the outer gate and inside the tunnel, crenellations allow for arrows and oil to rain down upon an enemy. The gates are guarded around the clock, open at sunrise, and close at sunset. The gates and portcullises are controlled from two small gatehouse towers, one on each side of the gate and only slightly higher than the maximum height of the wall itself. In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Norkari mountains frame the sky. Read about Isra's border permissions here.

Kama walks up towards the northern gate, with a cheerful smile. He'd wave towards the guards, taking note of there choice of attack. He'd than approach the guards and tell them that the guards at the later checkpoint let him through. He would give these guards the same friendly voice and a couple of jokes towards them. Letting them know he has nothing but a friendly and kind disposition, likely to be let in.

As with the previous set of guards, the soldiers guarding the Northern Gate allow Kama to pass through with no trouble. Just another traveler on the road, if a somewhat unusually friendly one. Come to make his way in Isra, or simply resupply his goods to continue traveling. Whatever the case may be, the guards care not, chuckling at some of his jokes, but otherwise paying Kama no mind as he passes through.

Ryden Greyiron
Dedicated
Chancellor of Isra
Roleplay posts: 226
Age: 42
Physical Description: Taller than most at 6'4, with relatively short, steel-grey hair, and a well-groomed, dignified moustache and beard, Ryden Greyiron would have been considered handsome, once upon a time, and still might be by some, but stress and worry has gotten to him over the years, and more than anything, he looks weary. With well-defined, prominent cheekbones, a strong-set jaw, and a proud nose, he looks every part the stately nobleman he professes to be. His dark blue eyes are filled with a solemn and calculative consideration of everything around him. He has the lean and muscular body of a great swordsman not long out of their prime, and his movements show it - they are graceful, yet dignified, confident and determined.
Clothes and Equipment: Ryden is generally only seen in his engraved armor. His armour is an assembly of intricately engraved detail and runic symbols in equal measures. With his long and flowing grey cloak, he creates a distinctive impression of gravitas in all situations. His preferred weapon, a hand-and-a-half sword, is rather unusual. The hilt is worn and weathered with battle, and seems to be ancient, and yet the blade gleams and shimmers in the slightest of light as though it emerged from the flames of a forge only yesterday. The blade's edge is razor sharp, and appears to have never needed sharpening. His armour and sword both possess a degree of enchantment, but the extent of which is unknown, even to him.

Ryden looked out the side of his small half-carriage, his brows knotting in ponderance as his hair flew amok in the blustering wind. The two horses pulling looked tired, but not overworn - he had high demands for their performance, but he did care for them well. He'd had them for many years now; they were both stallions, one a deep, rippling black, called Midnight, and the other a dappled grey, called Arthan. The walls of the city were impressive, he mused, but not quite as impressive as the ones he had sheltered behind back... home. Nonetheless, he mustn't dwell on the past. He had escaped, and Isra seeked experienced diplomats and officials for their government.
This may just be the new beginning I need.
The carriage slowed as it came towards the gates, and Ryden rose to his feet, keeping his balance even, despite the rolling, uneven motion of the carriage beneath him. As he rose, he called to the guard manning the gate, saying,
"Good tidings! I come with belief that the Free City is in reformation, and seeking government officials, in that I might offer my aid to the Lady of this land. Will you permit my entry?"
His voice carried clearly between himself and the guard, rising above the wind without him rising his voice. He sounded clean and professional, like a diplomat at heart.

Ryden Greyiron’s inquiry is addressed by one of the guards standing adjacent to the gate. He approaches the carriage, stops at a respectful distance, and speaks clearly, You heard correctly, sir. By all means, proceed. You’ll want to head toward The Citadel-” The guard gestures into the city, indicating the massive structure sitting prominently in its center, a structure obviously befitting of the name. “I suggest speaking with the guards there regarding seeking a position in the government. I wish you the best of luck, sir.” The guard nods his head slightly, knowing that a show of respect now toward who could very well become his superior in the next few hours would be a prudent course of action.

"Thank you very, very much. If anything comes of this journey, I'll be sure to notify your upper chain of your hard work and diligence."
Ryden nodded back, deeper. He was serious about what he said - that sort of work was well worth rewarding in what could be a volatile and dangerous job. Someone with a forward-thinking mind like the guard had shown could potentially be very useful, higher up. He would consider that, if he got the job.

Finally walking, Through A bright smile plastered on his face. This place seemed like a wonderful location to settle into. Kama walked by spotting a standing guard. He'd slowly approach the inner city guard.
" What's up?,Do you happen to know where i can find a place to buy a house of some sort?"
His tone, like always friendly and non-threatening.

The guard snaps to attention as Kama approaches. Evidently, he had been dozing off. He takes a moment to reassess his surroundings, and thinks back a moment to the inquiry asked of him before responding. “Hm? Yes, of course. Quite well. Indeeeeed. You might consider visiting the Central Plaza, and checking on some of the boards there. There may be houses for sale there. I’m not quite sure, to be honest.”

Would nod, Walking towards the central plaza. He sees this board and a bunch of house listings on it. Some ranging to a high price others low. He'd look at the board trying to figure out which would be a good house to buy. He'd than look around seeing the houses near him, and tried to find one that suits him. Something small but no too small. He'd find a house worth one-thousand. T hat's just enough to get his life started. He'd go to the housing officials with a wallet with the exact amount,asking to purchase said house.

An Aaedanian rider approached the gates, his horse at full gallop, he slowed the horse to a stop and spoke, "May I pass? I have word for the Citadel." The horse seemed so exhausted that it might keel over at any point, a sign that the rider had ridden far and fast.

"Sure, sure, it's the big castle lookin' thing in the center there..." The guard on duty waves the rider through. Regardless of his purpose, Isra's borders are open to single individuals.

Jax Fleetfoot
New
Got ya wallet!
Roleplay posts: 7
Age: 13
Physical Description: A short child, poor, but not unkempt. He reaches only 5 foot 3, thin but not spindly. He has condensed muscle, this being acquired from his ability to be very good at running away; having to do this frequently due to his pickpocketing habits.
He has nimble and dexterous hands, callused and small, these traits having been created by his beforehand mentioned 'troublesome' childhood. He of course uses this to great effect when he goes dipping in pockets, or breaking into houses.
He has short brown hair, always combed; he cares dearly about his looks, as his mother once did - he does this as a way to remember her. He has brown eyes, sharp and striking despite their seemingly soft exterior.
Clothes and Equipment: Upon his head he carries a red bandanna, which he changes to a host of other bandannas, seemingly randomly. This bandanna typically gives him the name of the 'Bandanna Bandit' throughout the places he traverses. He enjoys being called by his criminal 'pseudonym'.
He wears a short blue tunic of sorts, banded with a yellow pattern. Underneath he carries leather armour, compact and worn, such a thing would be very effective at absorbing blunt impacts, but falls short with sharp weaponry.
Below his tunic, he carries brown-cloth trousers of a kind. The trousers are very voluminous, designed in a way which would have to be tied down upon the belt region and around the bottom of the calf, where it would meet with the knee.
He carries knee-high leather boots, obviously used well for travel and running. Sigils can be found upon the boots, giving the boy increased mobility and make the boots less prone to wearing.

Jax, stopping to take his breath, had arrived at the northern gates of Isra. The soft pad of his quick movements brought up dust and pebbles upon the road in which he entered. He was darting from side-to-side, causally evading simply obstacles such as upturned roots or protruding rocks; a majestic display of his acrobatic ability. His feet were a blur, one could not even perceive his movements. His small body allowed for his aerodynamic movement, assisting him achieve his acrobatic goals.
He paused at the gate, before a haphazard grin sat there lazily upon his child-face. He adjusted his bandanna, before projecting his voice toward whoever may be on guard duty.
"Hey! Let me in! I'm here to see my mother!"
He wasn't going to see his mother, of course. He was an orphan. It was a reasonable excuse, he thought. Better than being caught with your pants down with a bad excuse. Excuses were his favourite thing. He didn't call them lies. Lies meant they were bad. And he doesn't lie, because that would mean he was bad. He was good. His mindset was circular; he was adamant in nature
He loved excuses, they gave spice into his and whoever he may know's life. Spice is all that matters. He couldn't bare witht the thought of boredom. Therefore he wants other people not to be bored. Then he won't be bored! It made perfect sense.
He really wanted to be let in this city. He couldn't wait to see what mysteries it may harbour within itself. He didn't even know the city's name. That just added to his childish excitement.

Several pairs of eyes turn to consider Jax as he approaches the gate and shouts in its direction. Many of them belong to travelers and citizens going about their business. One such is a young woman of a rather ordinary sort. She wears a well kept, yet somewhat faded blue dress, and is perched atop a sort of cart piled high with crates, pulled along by a wearisome horse. The horse, too, turns to cast a beleaguered glance in Jax’s direction, but neither of them give Jax more than a moment’s worth of consideration as the horse trudges onward, through the open gate, and onto one of Isra’s bustling thoroughfares.
Another set of eyes belongs to one of the gate’s many guards, and stepping forward from his post, he approaches Jax to a more reasonable speaking distance of perhaps five meters or so before responding.
“Head right in, kiddo; gate’s open. Cause no trouble, you ‘ear?”
He gestures with a jerk of his thumb to the towering gate. As imposing as it seems, the portcullis is raised, and the series of great doors are open. Though it all may come crashing shut at a moment’s notice, the gate is open, at least for the time being. Foot traffic is free to come and go as they please, albeit under the watchful eyes of many guards.

Rickard, the Lone Warrior
Committed

The Lone Warrior Rickard would approach the northern gate of the free city Isra with his dragon traveling companion Neva. He would continue on through the gates into the city if unimpeded by guards posted at the gate, or the gate itself if it was indeed closed. The wall itself was much taller than the one that circled Aramoor, an impressive feat of engineering by the Isranians no doubt.
Even in the darkness of night, the dark shadow of the walls could be seen looming before them, the faint glow of the city within just barely visible over the top edge of the walls.

Neva-Svir-Suna, Wavewarden
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 259
Age: 850
Physical Description: Neva's form is as fluid as the rivers she protects. Her usual form is approximately forty meters, armored with an incredibly thick, scaly hide. Her head is a armored as well, with long horns or fins, depending on whether she is moving through water or land. In her human form she tends to take the shape of a young, tanned, attractive woman, with long dark hair. Finally, she can take the form of any animal that spends the majority of its life in any watery area of the world.
Clothes and Equipment: In her human form, she is wearing thick leather armor of a similar substance to her dragon hide. The only weapons she wields are a pair of javelins and a long spear. The weapons are magical as she sees fit, variously imbuing them with her own magical powers.

Neva would do the same as Rickard, passing through the gates with not much more than a wave to the weary guards as she passed through. Her eys had no trouble seeing in the darkness, though they shifted more in line with their true shape to accommodate the change in lighting level. She enjoyed the city, and hoped she would be able to aid Rickard in his quest here, for it would be the last of her help to him, for now.

The day after Aegon's match with Lamina Manira, Roxanne waited for him by the northern gates of the city. She wore light traveling armor and carried her sword as well as a large picnic basket covered with cloth. She sat impatiently, tapping her foot and occasionally glancing at her reflection in a nearby pond. Every time she did, she would catch herself readjusting her hair and stop, embarrassed. Why was she worried about her hair? It was just some pracice...wasn't it? She glanced down at the basket of food in her hand. Hopefully he wouldn't take it the wrong way.

Aegon arrived at last, dressed in his usual robes, though the armor he normally adorned was absent. He was standing next to Roxanne and waved in greeting. Then he realized that his cloaking magic was on. He removed it seemingly appearing out of nowhere. "Hello," His greeting was cheery and bright.

"Whoa!"
Roxanne jumped, surprised at the sudden appearance of Aegon. Where did he come from? Had he teleported? It seemed as though he'd just popped out of nowhere. After getting over her shock, she smiled cheerfully at him. She was glad to see him, regardless of how abruptly he'd appeared.
"Why, hi there! Where did you come from? You weren't there a moment ago. Um...are you ready to go out? ...Of the city. Out of the city. That's what I meant."
She giggled nervously, trying to conceal her sudden bout of awkwardness. Where had that come from? She quickly changed the subject, holding up the basket.
"I brought some food...we can eat lunch out on the plains, rather than having to come back to the city. More time for training, y'know?"

Aegon was laughing, a deep cheerful sound, at Roxanne's reaction to his sudden appearance. "I'm sorry, I'm just used to using magic to hide my presence." He smiled at Roxanne as she fumbled about with her words. When she held up the basket, "Indeed, lets walk." He offered to take the basket.
He was smiling slightly despite himself, and when they started to walk he spoke with a grin, "You know, your cute when your flustered."
