Location The Icewall Gates

[Taithrosa Eldytia]

15 Day of Winter

Taithrosa had arrived via the Denval cargo ship to this city of ice and cold. He was bundled against the cold since he had in this life originated in warmer climates around Riverfall and then had moved to Mura. This northern city was a new and strange place to him but one that he desired to learn more about this city and what knowledge it might contain. He felt a craving for knowledge ever sinces he realized how much he had lost.

He nodded at the guards his silver eyes taking them in. A place that defended itself against the changned world instead of finding a safe refugee. It was an interesting thing to note about this place. He smiled at the guards and contiuned on into the city.

[Cilion]

35th day of winter, 511 AV

Cilion sighed as he approached the gates, his breath coming out in swirling foggy puffs. He runs his hand through his hair, stamping the ground for warmth.
"Hearth sweet hearth..any one works.."
He whistles thrice for Sentai, his whitish wolf brother.
Sen runs up, leaning against Cil and rubbing up and down. Cil almost falls over yelping. "awh..Sen..C'mon, i'm not freezing and you scared the crap out of me!" The wolf walks away a few feet and stars at him happily. "Oh...Fine...But we need to find a hearth.." He fishes in his pockets, tosses Sen some jerky, then walks the rest of the way to the gates.

Cil waves to the guards. "Sen got some food...I...Well i retrieved my arrows..." he shrugs, looking down and petting Sen as they pass, hiding his pink eyes. They go to the nearest inn to fight off the cold.

[Majnoon Gerges]

Season of Winter, Day 1, 511AV It was shimmering, literally a beacon of light like he had never seen before, he'd heard it was breath taking but to see it up close was another thing entirely. And through the gaps where the people native to the city milling about in the snow as if it was not twenty below. "Amazing!" his hands clapped together like a childs as he peered at the Icewall Gates, turning to the nearest guard he gestured to the the frozen cubes of light, "Isn't it perfect?" Grinning and waving like an idiot, he didn't wait for an answer but rather strode forward, he had finally reached it, the place where he had so longed to go, sure it had taken eight years of travel but he had made it and already it felt like home.

[Daeth]

12th day of Winter 511 AV


Daeth slowly padded forward on four legs, he did that when he was cold and this area of Taldera certainly was cold. There was a cottage waiting for him on the outskirts of the city that his parents had bought a long time ago, that could wait. He wanted to see the city, the great city of Avanthal...

The gates were made of ice.. or so it seemed, when he touched it no moisture came off it but it was still whole and freezing. "Amazing" he thought, he gave his salutations to the guards and the polar bears that he knew were Kelvic outside the gate, smiled and walked into the city.

[Jase Aldaine]

6th day of Spring 512 AV

Jase rubbed his hands together vigorously, trying to keep what little warmth his body had left to offer him. He deeply regretted not bring heavier and warmer clothes for his trip to Avanthal, the great Winter City. He longed for a toasty warm room with a crackling fireplace and an expensive cup of red between his hands. He wrapped his arms around his chest as he strode forward to the Icewall Gates, noting the two guards with their polar bears at their posts.

With a quick salute to both guards, he walked into the city, looking for the nearest tavern in sight. A thought in the back of his mind made him think again if there were any taverns to begin with. He was completely new to this part of the world, and had no idea how it worked, yet as usual, he was eager to learn the customs of this new place to fit in as well as he could for the time he stayed here. He had left his brothers back in Syliras and wondered how they were faring without him. Young Arcturus had doubtlessly gotten himself into some quarrel or slept with some knight's maid. The boy had so much left to learn, and it pained Jase that he wouldn't be there to show him right from wrong.

Avanthal was absolutely stunning. The snow, pale as it was beautiful, sat heavily on the frozen soil. The city was separated into different areas, from what he could see. He walked down what he thought was a main avenue allowing faith to be his guide and hoping that along the road a passerby would point him in the right direction. He had a feeling he was going to like this place...

[Elvyra]

6th of spring, 512 AV

Elvyra tilted her head back to look at the gates, and a flicker of content passed over her face. This was the closest to a permanent home she would ever get. Her silver eyes, so suited in the cool, blue and white landscape around her, glanced at the guards as she slipped through the gates, her footsteps silent on the ice and snow.

Her nose twitched slightly as she took in familiar scents. Letting out a long breath, which showed in the cold air as a thin stream of fog coming from her parted lips, the young Kelvic pushed her dark hair out of her face, and moved deeper into the snowy city. She didn't know how long she would stay this time, but it was good to be back. Good to be, well, home.

Hefting her bag higher onto her shoulder, Elvyra absently brushed at her black silk shirt, smoothing it down, her lips curling into a half-snarl. The clothing irritated her for the most part, but no matter how much she loved the cold, she knew it was necessary, or even she would freeze. She looked forward to settling in, so that she would be free to finally shift into her true form and wander the familiar city. She'd been itching to have paws beneath her instead of feet all day.

[Vespirus]

Vespirus walked yet again out of her home to see a new face wandering around the city. She seemed uneasy, but Vespirus never felt too at home herself. She knew that if she didn't confront the girl, she would fail once more to meet a new person, and would fall that much closer to living her life in loneliness. Ves built up her courage, and began walking toward the girl.

[Arcturus Aldaine]

The 8th day of Spring, 512 AV

Arcturus walked down the narrow road, having been dropped off further down, he sighed, looking up at the majestic gates, they didn't seem very impressive to him, but he never cared much for architecture.

Walking up to a guard, who was standing next to a Polar Bear, who he knew was simply a Kelvic, he never quite understood how those people could live, caged in a humanoid body.

"Thank you," he said, after being looked over by the guard, and given the all clear to proceed into The Everwinter City.

[Turran_Aldaine]

Turran walked up to the gates slowly shivering as a chill wind blew across his face his robe giving very little protection from the biting cold. He was still mad at his brother Arcturus for leaving him to clean up the camp but had to meet up with him as he was the only person he knew around here so they had to get along or get lost. As he walked into city he noticed the wall and gates of solid ice which made him shiver all over again and continued on past a Kelvic polar bear. As he neared the first crossroads he heard a call from a nearby building and rolled his eyes when he saw his younger brother sitting on another roof calling for him.

[Ronan]

16th Day of Spring, 512 AV

They arrived in Avanthal, in the wake of the destroyer. Ronan gazed in awe. A new, foreign city. But at the same time, his heart sank. The damage was evident almost immediately.

The storm had struck the city, and who knew where else it had travelled? As a group they entered Morwen's city. Ronan was worried for the future.
