Contribution

Many of us know of the soup kitchen run by Caritas for the adventurers, whether needy or not, of Valorn. Although she is well off, I am sure that she would appreciate any assistance that we could give. My assistance is usually given in the field of battle, but I have recently presented Caritas with ...

Re: 20 in 20 #15

Hmm ...

A song for war

I wrote this some time ago (OOC: 2013!), but I hear that some people have been wanting to sing it again. Out of many, one. Thus speaks the famous saying; for wonders can be done when all, the gods obeying, stand like a wall and shield against the fiercest foe; then honor is revealed and loyalty will...

Re: 20 in 20 #10

I collected enough wyvern scales to make wyvern scale armor; the only reason I don't still wear it is that I outgrew it.

Re: Freeze or Warmth?

Wicked the wind, winter's minion. Icy breath from eastern mountains, caverns of frost, cold demon-lairs, sweeps over plains and shivering grasslands to the southern shore, the sea-border. Down the desert it drives the sand, freezing and fierce. Fleeing, the scorpions hide in the Wall: winter is here...

Re: Fall Festival - Pumpkin Carving

Not a likeness, but a sculpture.

This pumpkin is carved all around in shapes of flickering flames (orange, because it's a pumpkin). Above the row of flames are two serious, deep-browed eyes, which burn brightly with the light of a candle placed inside the pumpkin.

Re: 20 in 20 #6

1) Can different players use the same animal, i.e., can there be more than one adventurer with the same animal?
1a) Is a raven the same as a crow?

2) Do I remember correctly that hawks and falcons are allowed?


Thank you,

Shieldwall's fifteenth anniversary

Due to my own forgetfulness, I never gave directions.

The party is today, and you can reach Shieldwall's guild house by going north from Milltown Center, west at the mountain pass, north at the Mountain Retreat, and east from the broken Life Monument.
