Valen Returns with the Sword of Glory
Posted in The Fey People, The Sherriff on August 5, 2010 by coyoteandthunder“But were not for Great Evil threatening my land that I would have been retrieved from my grave”
Valen Guildensong returned to his ancestral home at Ravenswell in The Dreamwater as a Revenant and knight, avenging his family and activating the potent magics in his blade, the mighty Larassa, which means “the River from the Sun”
Larassa, A Glory Blade wielded by Valen at Ravenswell.
The Evil Monkey Cormojo planned to hold Ravenswell for his own but could not stand against the coming of Larassa, the second sword of Glory, wielded by the Revanant knight Valen as he was assisted by the Sherriff of the Dream Water, Tim Tigean. Cormoko did manage to escape at the end of the battle.
Valen’s middle daughter, Giladna, was imprisoned by the Monkey Lord Cormojo. Valen freed her soul and activated the Second Sword of Glory, Larassa.
Valen’s trusted servant, Arghast the Legionaire, followed Valen back from the Grave.
The servant of Pelor, Highpriestess Alanna found Valen in Ravenswell and coaxed him to consciousness and duty.

More notes on the culture of the community of Maiah
1. The leaf of the Oba tree is brewed to make a caffeinated beverage that is most regularly served with milk and honey
2. The Center of Maiahn culture is a large festival hall called “The Fellow Song”. The structure is over a hundred years old and run by Eric Besallyn, father of Ari and Judicia. pictured below
3. Orcs are deeply integrated into Maiahn culture.
4. PoolisTyr is a henge for the worship practice of druids. The leader of the Maiahn orcs is called Hearthys and is a wise although grim elder of the community.
5. The head druid is named Gareth, a man, a good friend of the sherriff. Gareth is also the chief vintner and head brewer of the town.
6. Maiah is the ritual center of the human population in the South Dreamwater and festivals are common. Every two weeks or so there is an astologically significant date which means that a party will happen.
7. The most common breed of dog in Maiah is the wolf hound.
8. Carl the Red has been mayor of Maiah for over forty years and he is now bed ridden and not expected to survive the winter of 1111.
Cities of the Dead Legions
Posted in Lesivith, Men, Niskantel, the Fey Dark, The Sherriff, the Talisman on August 2, 2010 by coyoteandthunderFrom beneath you it devours. With the Ebon Boon, the Feydark has invaded Ethilistyr. Under the City of Copper and Gold, Niskantel, the ancient eladrin masoleum of Marukel has opened and from its horrid maw comes fire, plague and dread warriors who know nothing but violence.
The Ebon Boon was not successfully completed, much to the torturous frustration of the Horned King. There were suppossed to be ten necropoli that sprouted wrathful terror across the Dreamwater. There would have been but not for the efforts of the Sherriff and the risen Revanant, Valen Gildensong, and the deconstruction of Rendgray…a story for another entry. Suffice it to say, that only five cities were able to rise. Bessenthia was closed by the Paladins Zarconus and Ferrus, leaving four cities alive with necotic energy at the coming of winter, year 1111, when the Crew of the Talisman needs to decide where best to put there resources as the sherriff scrambles to muster a defensive strategy against the burning of the cities of men.
