    Prompt [GoW] When Winter falls upon the Land

    When Elsace called her a hound for the second time, Nym resisted the urge to bark at him. It would have been fun, but this was not the training grounds of one of their homes, and even she had a sense of decorum. However vague. She rubbed her greasy fingers against a corner of her tabard. The...

    The conversation reached a natural lull. The faint lapping of water against the mineral rocks set Nym at ease, and though she was in a distant land amongst strange kith, she found herself relaxing. That is, until the honking of her war-deer, Cheska, jolted her back to attention. Waves of water...

    The orkin girl did not pick a winner, when prompted by the other woman. Wise, considering the number of people who had gathered to try their strength against the mountain. Nym rose from her comfortable spot to listen. She tried to match voices and faces to the people that Hagga described, but...

    Any frustration Nym felt was washed clean in the steamy waters. She felt her skin softening in the mineral rich-steam, and her muscles unwinding. All the open water in her homeland was made dangerous by exposed shroudstones; one couldn't step foot in a lake or a stream without feeling the Shroud...

    "If something must be returned in time, I do not know if one can claim to have ever possessed it. The Harannossë teach that strength must be taken. One should pluck a peach before it falls, lest it bruise on the ground." After all the knots and buckles along her arms were undone, the rest of...

    To go gladly to one's death. Her grandfather had warned her that the orkin of the Agni-bolg were a stony sort, but that was downright fatalistic. An ignoble end for such a strong hero. Yet their guide told the story with a satisfied kind of pride. Nym didn't understand where the smile on the...

    The glare of the sun, the heat of the smoke that billowed from the volcano, and the labor of walking the town, gathering information on her environment and the people who would be her enemies come dawn. Nym had been sweating in her heavy armor all day. It chafed. She wandered far, looking for a...

    Open The Tournament of Fire Mountain

    The sky above Nym streaked with smoke, and a thunderous crack rang out from the forest as a few trees went down. Nym smiled up at the display, a gleam of awe in her eye. The Great Gathering of Fire Mountain, as always, did not fail to live up to its name. The volcano was as splendid as her...

    At the table were these warm rolls decorated with tiny, whole crabs. Even as they lay cooked - their shells barnacled with batter - each crabs' little claws were still stretched outwards in challenge. Nym picked one up, and bit into it. Crispy on the outside, soft crab meat on the inside. She...

    Prompt [GoW] When Winter falls upon the Land

    It was her brother, Rhuil, who had been invited to this event. Nym strode a few steps behind him, dressed in the peace-garb of a knight, nothing more than living heraldry. Adorned by bright decorations, without the gleam of armor underneath. A warrior bereft of her weapon, and a guard with no...

    Scion of the lowest High House, Nym is one used to weathering the losses and hitting from the ground. She acts as Champion to her House, fighting in formal duels during the slow Winter season and serving as bodyguard to her other siblings. Not many would bet on her success, however. With three...
