1. Lysanne Shard

    Private Sink your teeth

    The courtyard reeked of steel, horse sweat, and the dry dust kicked up by booted feet. A line of Ashcloaks drilled with spears, their black cloaks snapping in the wind. Lysanne cut a dark shape against the pale stone. From the shadow of the arched entryway, she watched them for a moment, the...

    Private One and done

    Private Granite

    A crumbling watchtower turned waystation near the edge of the holdings of House Tourmalet. Stone walls blackened by old smoke. The air was thin, the kind of cold that bites through whatever one would wear. Snow lingers in patches. A fire sputters in a low stone hearth. Wind hissed through broken...
