knights of anathaeum

The scent of frankincense layered over everything in steady ebbs from the thurible that roiled it's cargo outwards from the center of the chamber in wisps of the rich scent. Consecration of the room was a point of safety, no divine will did flow to guard against the Dark, yet the will of the...

(Part 1 to this story can be found here) A vexed mind when lacking solutions seeks distractions. Distractions which render sleep swift as near exhaustion rushes all governance to recovery from such toil to escape rumination. To escape the languid moments of doing nothing about what mattered...

Today was the beginning of the rest of her life. How grandiose of a statement for how little fanfare greeted the start of it; the day's idle humming of birdcall hardly did justice to the tumultuous years leading to her arrival at the gates of the Astenvale Monastery. The abode of misfits and...

The weather was still cold but the snow was melting, the sun's rays reaching towards the earth and beckoning life back out once more. The season of growing and life was near upon Arethil, and one could feel it, especially on this night in Astenvale. The sun had shone brightly during the day...

The sky was gray, clouds gathering on the horizon, assuring rain soon. Every step the knights took brought them further away from the Monastery but the Eldyr Tree could still be seen amid the clouds. Their mission on this night was a bit closer to home, but that did not mean it was any easier...

Welcome to the First Annual Himbo Contest for the Knights of Anathaeum! A handwritten flier had been hung up on the walls in various places over the Monastery, its contents simple and intriguing, with a hastily written ‘Speak to Syr Kerraelas to sign up and receive all details! P.S. This...

When he stepped, the ground shook. His footfalls were thunder from the earth. Skull-hammer, Forest Ogre from the Falwood and full time Searcher, came to finally lay eyes on the Monastery of the Knights of Anathaeum. It was nice, well made, high stacked stone. Well carved doors and lovely tended...

Byanka had gotten the letter late the night before and she had received no sleep at all because of it. She had sat awake in her room in the monastery, reading the letter over and over until she had memorized every line, but it had not helped her great feeling of unsettlement. Worse than the...

Teaching was, still something that was starting to form within Josai's mind. Never quite saw herself as a teacher. Hardly liked taking on assistants and helpers when it came to manning the bar at the knoll. Yet, she understood the importance of it. Least, she thought she did. "So, tell me...

There had not been time for Monroe to bother reading the sign that pointed south, towards the sea, but the winds that washed over her was unlike any siren song she ever heard. The scent of the sea water conjured up memories she had longed to relive, carried away by the longing she felt to see...

Snow muffled the small footsteps belonging to Alouette. In the crook of her elbow was an old wicker basket that Squire Ulrika had been kind enough to lend her for today, filled with nothing but a chunk of bread and a much smaller chunk a hard cheese. Alouette had to make sure that even when she...

It had been a long trek on this last mission. Finally a knight and a member of the Dusk Sanctum, Rin had been paired with Isander, a knight of the Dawn Sanctum. It was common that a Dawn and a Dusk member were paired together. They had ridden out to search out a creature that had hidden in the...

The halls of Dunhold were cold and empty. Howling winds and dancing shadows gave the place a sinister air. A lie, Faramund knew. It was warmer inside the keep than it was outside, and the ghosts all wore friendly faces. Still, the prospect of spending another blustery night cooped up inside this...

The Monastery's kitchens were a hubbub of controlled chaos, a symphony of clinking utensils and the comforting hiss of pans atop the roaring fires. In the heart of this organized mayhem, Farren found herself amidst the bustling warmth, the faint aroma of bread mingling with the savory scent of...

"Freezing out here..." Teddie thought to himself, trudging toward the location he'd been pointed to. "Surely this must be part of the test to initiate new members." The chill in the air blew his earthy colored clothes in the wind, flapping like sails around him and threatening to lift him into...

Hi! I'm searching for an RP partner for my boy Teddie (Seen here in all his meek insignificance) to show him the ropes and help him build some skills! He's far from an ideal candidate for the Knights, but he's got the spirit! I'm looking for someone who would either be happy to take him as a...

A pair of siblings, ten and thirteen of age, had gone missing. This had been in the midst of a busy yesterday, wherein the actual time of their disappearance eluded everyone. The lone father had come back to an empty home from a day’s work, it already late in the afternoon and with the dark fast...

Winter had finally arrived and tables and chairs had been set up inside a large white tent. The Knights had a serious problem on their hands: Syr Cymbeline had tried out a new spell and unfortunately brought a gingerbread cookie to sentient life. It said its name was Ginger, Ginger Breadington...

Syr Theros stood at a corner of Sanctum Ops, a bound ledger filled with pages of information on their crop of squires. Details on their studies and mannerisms. The sorts of things needed when considering assignments. Quests. Missions. Bebin hated it. Flipped through the papers all the same...

The metallic taste of blood filled Farren's jaws. The fur of the rabbit keeping her tongue warm from the biting cold of the winter air as she trekked back to her camp with Luther. Her paws made little sound in the packed snow; the evidence of her passing would soon be covered within the hour...
