The Blades(IC)
It was an early noon at Kunn. Jahreel, the god of sun, bestowed a warm and pleasant day. Spring was coming to the end.
Domerth and Taruss were sitting near the chieftain's household, eating deer jerky and drinking ale.
- You get the craziest ideas brother. You really think that you can find the legendary Tome of Seventy Arts?- Domerth asked
- Yes. I've studied all past winter and I believe I've found where Barash hid the tome.
- Did you spread the word?
- Of course. After the winter ended. However only a handfull answered. Bograd of the Vethorians and his twenty men, and Omutt the Mute arrived yesterday. I heard that some more are coming. I heard that even the Norn Dwarfhunter will join our quest.
- Really?- Domerth refilled his tankard. It was a fine piece of ceramics. The Nokethian tribe often traded their works with the other tribes. The confluence was rich of clay.- I do not question his ability with the blade. The man can fight, and does it well. However his theories about the dwarwes can ignite laughter. And the others?
- Not much that I know about. The people speak of some mercenaries and a lone wolf. I overheard while talking to Bograd.
- Who else is coming?
- Vishan of Prohna should had been here two days ago. He has to march through the Black Grove after all. I hope he hadn't ran into trouble, the fiends of the forest are getting restless.
With these words, the gate of the village opened and a tall, brawn man entered. He had some minor scratches, but his green eyes radiated joy. He walked towards the two stepbrothers and hugged the two.
- Where had you been Vishan?
- The fiends went out of their mind brothers! I got lost and they lured me all the way to Drakkm. Took me a hell of a time to find the trail. However the sword protected me well.- He smiled. Vishans sword was of master craftsman, it was decorated with the images of bears and had a large amethyst at the center of the hilt. Domerth poured some ale to him and passed the jug to his sister for a refill.
- The stew is ready. Want some?- She asked.
- Sure.
Soon they were joined by Omutt and Bograd. Along with Vishan, each took out a brass knife. An inscription was on them. It read "You are needed".
- So Domerth, what's our new adventure?- Asked Bograd a balding middle aged shaman of Vethorian tribe.
- Taruss will explain all, as soon as some more people will come here. In the evening most likely.

Snorbald the Elder could see the village looming in the distance. Word had it that the shaman of this village had learned where to find the Legendary Tome of the Seventy Arts. The legends said that this codex contained knowledge beyond comprehension. And for all Snorbald knew, this codex also contained knowledge of Dwarves.
Dwarves, they were his blessing and his bane. The dying Dwarf that had gifted Snorbald his precious weapons had spoken of his realm. The realm of Dwarves, where these weapons were but common. Where the crafts of the earth, had reached hights humans could not imagine. Ever since, Snorbald had made it his life purpose to find this realm of Ledgend. He had met only a few Dwarves since then, but they could not bring him closer to his goal. But his search was a source of ridicule for him. People thought him mad, naive or infantile.
But perhaps this village-shaman could bring him further.
When Snorbald reached the village, he strode in unopposed. This clan was not at war and there was no reason to expect any danger from a lone warrior. Snorbald was begining to feel the heat of the sun. He was dressed in leathers and furs. The spring nights could still be cold, but during the day his winter garb could get hot.
Snorbald called approached the first villager he saw. Most were likely working the fields or tending to other daily chores, but this boy was not.
"Come here boy. Tell your shaman I whish to see him."

- You can find Taruss eating outside the chieftain's home.- The boy replied and showed him to the largest house.
When Snorlbald appoached he was greeted by Domerth.
- Hail Snorlbald! So you heard of our quest? Taruss is stubborn and won't tell anything till the evening. Still, I invite you to join our meal.- He poured some ale and passed the tankard to Snorlbald.- The deer in the stew was hunted this morning.
- Yes. By me.- Taruss said.
- Finally Taruss brought food for a change- Jokingly said Domerth.- So, how was the journey Snorlbald?-He took a sip of his ale- I heard that Shakk raiders are roaming the countryside. Galhak village requested our aid against them. We sent about fifty men to help them.

A woman with snow white hair plaited at her sides and back is walking through spruce forest with the reigns of brown mare in her right hand. She is dressed quite usually for a traveler but her clothes have no decorations or tribe signs at all. She's got a spear on her back, a sword on her left and an axe at her right side with some knives hanging here and there. All in all she looks pretty usual traveler if it wasn't for her strange hair colour. This one sign makes it easy to identify her from far away, she's the Sandraudiga, "she who paints the sand red". This is the name she was given on her 19th summer after the slaughter on Koreshall beach where she fought as a part of a mercenary band among the Norn raiders. The battle had been bloody on both sides but ultimately their side had "won". With only 7 of the raiders left after the battle they had to disband. The fleeing Urushan fighters spread the story of a white haired devil whom none could touch. The stories tell that those who got near her were paralysed by the evil eye and unable to avoid the sharp steel of her spear. Of course that was just fools talk but she didn't mind. It made her life that much easier not having to fight every bandit on her way while traveling.
After the sun was beginning to set she finally saw the palisades of Noketh from between the trees. The village was rather big for an Urusshan tribe, certainly a lot bigger than the one where she grew up in. It had fields around it, like all villages did, to keep the trees far from the palisade to not let people climb over the walls as easily. She got on her horse and started approaching the village. There were two watchmen above the gate who were completely oblivious to the surrounding world, all succumbed in their game of dice or card judging from the sounds of it.
"SVEIKAS! I HEAR THERE BE WORK HERE! YOUR CHIEF KEEP ALL OFF HIS GUESTS WAITING OUTSIDE THE WHOLE NIGHT!", with that she waited for the gates to open.

- Ho!- One of the watchmen noticed Sandra.- Another one came! Open the gate! Welcome to Kunn! Domerth and Taruss are waiting by the chieftain's home. It's the largest one, near the Oak, you cant miss it.
As Sandra entered she saw about forty armed men talking to eachother. She then noticed the house that the guard directed her to. She saw a group of men sitting by a table outside, drinking ale and sharing stories.

Snorbald downed half his tankard before answering any questions. It was the first thing he had drunken for several weeks that wasn't water.
"Yes, word round the fireplace has that Taruss knows where one could find the Legendary Codex of the Sages."
Snorbald took of most of his travel gear, the furs were getting to warm. He left them on his helmet and shield, which he had placed on the ground. Under the furs Snorbald was wearing leather armour. He had never liked metal armour, as he found it hindered his movement to much.
"But the raiders have not bothered me yet. Lone warriors are hardly worth their effort. And my preference to wander the wilds, makes me run into few people to begin with."
Snorbald drank some more ale.
"It seems the Gods are smiling upon your village. The crops seem to be growing harder than one might expect in spring."

A young woman of about 20 to 25 years of age rode up to the palisades of the settlement on her horse. Beside her was another woman, but with white hair. She seemed somewhat familiar, but Heila couldn't quite place her finger on it.
"SVEIKAS! I HEAR THERE BE WORK HERE! YOUR CHIEF KEEP ALL OFF HIS GUESTS WAITING OUTSIDE THE WHOLE NIGHT!" the woman yelled.
Heila waited there and then said to the other woman, "Hello, I am Heila. I feel like I recognize you from something, but I don't quite remember what. What is your name?"

- The Gods blessed this land with two mighty rivers, the land along them is very fertile. Also the skill of the farmer and devotion to the land is very important.- Said Domerth.- Salomej, be so kind and bring us another keg of ale- he said to his sister.- And I see another traveler had joined us.- Domerth noticed Sandra.- We invite you to join us in our modest feast. You must be hungry. Help yourself to some food- He offered her a tankard of ale.
- So, Vishan, what caused you to get lost from the only path in the Black Grove?- Asked Bograd. Vishan emptied his tankard and began telling his adventures in the grim woods.

Sandraudiga looked at the young woman who had ridden upto her and addressed her.
"Sandraudiga", with that she rode off to where the guard had directed her.
There she released her horse from the packings and put down her spear and sword besides them. She then joined the men eating at the table and took the offered tankard.
"Indeed.", she then helped herself to some of the food around the table and listened to the men narrate their latest adventures. It was obvious she was still a little early but she didn't really mind, the food was good and ale was plenty.

"Sandraudiga? The Sandraudiga?" Heila thought as she went inside the settlement and approached the tribe leaders. "This must be quite a quest worthy of Rhain."
She went to who she presumed to be the leader of this camp. He was near a company of tribe leaders and famous warriors. From what she could hear, his name was Domerth. She approached him and said, "If I may be so bold, may I give you some advice that may be of help on this quest of yours? If need be, I shall wait to address everyone."

- Well all I can do for you now is to invite you to join our feast- Said Domerth.- Taruss says that we must wait for a few more people before we enbark our quest.
- Aye.- Replied Taruss.- after all had gathered we'll discuss it in the council meeting. Ohh! Lovely!- He commented on the roast pike that Salomej had just served.- Biggest one yet.
- Still it dwarfs that wels that we dragged ashore last autumn. A hell of a fight. Almost sunk our raft.- Said Domerth while slicing a loaf of bread.- but this pike a great catch nonetheless.

A large man, he appears to be half-giant, marched up to the gate. "I am Gerinbald of the Siglind mercenaries! The commander requests an audience with the man who sent him this letter!" He held up a worn piece of hide-parchment.
Joshua Siglind, who was already half-way up the wall, rolled his eyes at his man's announcement. "Incompetent can't even understand the meaning of 'Taking a long walk alone', can he?"
"Well, to be fair, the man is new."
"Shut up you." He murmured to himself. "This is not the time for you to be talking through me, remember." His other shut up. "Perfect. Now... About that book..." Joshua began mumbling inaudibly until he was within ear shot of his men.
"Ksalin, come here please." He gestured to his father's old right-hand man. "And give me that you big oaf." He jumped, flipped and took the letter from Grinbald's hand. "You were to wait until I had returned." The half-giant drew back, fear plain in his eyes and posture.
"Sir, this isn't the time for any discipline or punishments." Ksalin pointed at the village, which had been alerted to their presence.
Almost as quickly as it cad come, the murderous glint in Joshua's eyes disappeared and Joshua gave them a genuine smile. "Right, right. Sorry if I scared you a little there, but please give me time to scout out the city when I tell you that I'm going for a 'Long walk', ok?" Gerinbald nodded cautiously. "Good! See all of you soon with our new job!"
"You're too nice to them." Joshua muttered.
"Ah, you don't know people like I do." He retorted.
Joshua walked up to the gates and leaned on them. "So does this mean that I can come in, or am I to be trapped in the wild outside of the city that I was invited into?"

The man strode through the cold tundra while the wind whipped his cloak to one side. With each step the village got a tiny bit bigger, and his load a tiny bit heavier. He was, maybe, thirty feet away when he heard a sharp whistle behind him. He dropped down and saw an arrow thud into the gate. He pulled out his spear and whirled around, deflecting another knife. Then, he rushed forward, jumping up at the last second and bringing his spear sharply down. He landed lightly on his knee, then put his spear away and turned around. It was another loner by the looks of him, a big, heavy man, with a large gray beard, chain mail armor, and a large hole in his head. His blood darkened the white snow as Allmoor inspected the man's belongings. An amulet, a finely crafted axe, a knife, a book (this caused Allmoor some suprise), and a strange device he could not fathom. He took the axe (perhaps he could sell it for something), and left the other things lying there. He strode up to the gate and banged against it with his spearhilt, shouting, "Open up in there!"

((I take it that Warlord isn't with us?))
The watchmen opened the gate, allowing Joshua to enter. He was directed to the Chieftain's home.
Meanwhile by the table, Taruss was telling about his sword.
- I got it seven years ago. The sword was shattered into twenty one piece and was reforged. For three years it matured in the depth of a marsh. For a year it was heated on a forge. And for another three years it lyed in cold ash. This isn't a simply sharpenned blade my friends. Although I haven't tested it's strenght in true combat.

Joshua arrived at the "Strength in combat." part of his speech. "Well, ain't that an intresting blade. Looks sort of like the two I have..." He walked over to the tankard of (Was it ale?). He grabbed a nearby flagon as well.
"Oh, sorry. Where are my manners this evening? My name is Joshua Siglind. You sent a messenger to find me?" He held out his hand in greeting. (You know, a hand shake?)
Remembering that these people do not hold to this custom except with the oldest and most respected of friends, Joshua pulled his hand back and gave a quick and stiff bow. "Well, I'm here. And I do know one good way of testing a blades' strength..." Joshua's hands were on his hilts.

Taruss sheathed his sword.
- Two or three I think. My friend, we don't invite people so we can fight with them.- He said.- We'll wait for them before we hold the meeting.

"Ah, sorry. Still not used to to many of the customs. Father was always more focused on teaching me how to stay alive than on politics." He said by way of explanation. "Besides, I was only talking about a friendly duel, more of a warm-up then anything else. You know," He took a swing of the drink. "get the blood boiling and all that. Perhaps later, if we feel the need to keep our skills sharp."
He spotted the Sandraudiga. Part of him seemed to have a gleefully evil moment while the other stared in surprise. "So, even you came?"
(Note, if she looks at Joshua's eyes, she's in for a surprise.)

- I usually spar with Domerth- Said Taruss.- We also have a lot of skirmishes with the fiends of the Black Grove and the Marsh of Loidha. They became very active recently. Vishan here told us how he was lured away from the path. And recently, Shakk raiding parties started to appear. That's odd, because usually they don't come looking for a fight. We're constantly proving our strenght even here, at home.

Snorbald had taken a modest bowl of the stew and he had finished it halfway when the roasted pike was served. Snorbald took a piece of the fish and added it to his stew.
After Snorbald finished eating he wiped some food out of his moustache and beard and stood up.
"There is still walk left in these legs. I'll be wandering around the village and fields to get it out. I will be back before dusk for the meeting."
Snorbald picked up his fur cloak and left the rest of his furs on his shield and helmet. He figured his sword and axe would be plenty of protection for now.
"I trust our host will keep my gear from being stolen. Good day to you all."
Snorbald swung his cloak around his shoulders, righted his axe and walked off.
