"I was running my supply route between the clans while the Outcasts held town. When I gets to the river, it was dammed up by legions of ogres, enough that my caravan could've used 'em as a bridge. Then I see's this fool in the middle of it all, laughing to himself as he's slaying ogres faster than the current could carry the bodies off. I tied off the horses and climbed a tree to get a better view of the spectacle. Perching from my branch I see what he's laughing about. The damn fool was dancing around pelting the ogres with apples. I must've sat in that tree watching for a few anlas laughing along sipping from my flask until it was clear enough to pass. Ha that fool and his apples, if I were any later arriving wouldn't be able to afford this rum." |

"This horrible thing... there were these walking corpses... and they were everywhere. I began to shake, and must've collapsed from the terror... I couldn't move... only watch. Horrors everywhere. Everywhere. Then this... massive creature, a tower of shadows came through the gate. Looking upon it I knew... I'd be with my lost family soon. It moved... floated... on a cloud of fire that seemed to wrap around it. Two streams of fire reached up from it... like arms... and... it looked at me... and threw its fiery limbs down. Horrid black lightning consumed the area. When I looked up... I saw its face... that of a growling wolf... silver... its visage frozen, emotionless. I... turned away in horror... and saw there were corpses no longer moving... it reached behind it, and it's back fell away like bandages from a wound... Then... I don't know how else to describe... it... It pulled out a giant blade.... possibly this foul creature's spine... and swung it. As white lights flashed the rest of the corpses fell too... Then it moved toward me. As it reached for my collar I screamed in horror, and... I must've blacked out... for I woke in hospital, shaken... They said they found me outside the door with a terrible wound, and I was lucky to have made it. I sill have nightmares about that day..." |

"There was a scream from my neighbor's and I ran outside to look. She was running from her burning home, and as I turned I saw mine on fire as well. There was this horrid little rotting creature and a fire mage battling in the street. The two were causing everything around them to explode and burst into flame, right in the middle of MY neighborhood! I turned and realized my home was already gone, and then took off running from the village. I just got back a day ago, and the foreman cleaning the mess had told me, the little one had been burning homes along the Trade route, and they had been battling for awhile. Horrid mages, I never asked for this. Did they really think fire was going to save my home from fire? Idiots. Now I have to move in with my sister and oaf brother-in-law. I hate mages..." |

Altered Possessions
- a pair of soot-streaked miner's goggles overlaid with darkened and burned leather
Designed for protection while blasting out mines, a heavy layer of grime mars the goggles. Reinforced leather covers the frame and padded band, designed to fit snug and comfortable against the wearer's face. Along with crude stitching, iron rivets are affixed to the band and encircle the lenses to hold the pieces taut. Jagged scorch marks and streaks of ash radiate outwards from the darkened lenses, the markings not impairing their function as protection from sun, wind, water, or flying debris.
- a simple shirt of dark firesilk with loose ebony nightsilk ties
Red threads used in the warp of the fabric create the illusion of shimmering tendrils of flame when touched by light. The silky ties combined with the casual, relaxed cut give this shirt a light and airy feel. With every movement, the firesilk appears to undulate, its carmine highlights rippling across the folds like rivulets of fresh blood.
- some loose-fitting gusseted pants of dark nightsilk with a long tie belt
Both of the garment's legs are slightly extended, cut to end in a slightly frayed cuff just below the wearer's heel. A wide belt of black nightsilk is wrapped around the waist and tied off in a simple knot, allowing the ends to hang mid-thigh. Perfect for casual or dressy wear, the pants also allow for the freedom of movement that would be well suited in combat.
- a scorched black hooded longcoat embellished at the hems with stylized flames
The heavy leather of the coat bears the characteristic marks of mana burns, almost certainly the product of excess spellcasting. The image of red and orange flames rise upwards from the sleeves and hem, enveloping them and reaching upwards to curl around the waist and shoulders. Whorls of grey cover the back and chest of the coat, resembling dark smoke.
- some curved bone claws jutting from tattered black cloth-wrapped knuckles
Three malchata ribs have been carved into wickedly sharp talons with serrated edges, designed to hook just over the wearer's fingers. Catgut stirrups attached to the claws wrap across the palm and wrist when worn, securing them tightly for use in the most rigorous of combat situations. A ragged black cloth long enough to cover the hand and forearm is wrapped around the claws to align and veil them.
- a long mesh weapon harness wrapped in a tattered black cloth
The long piece of fraying dark fabric is wrapped around the body of the harness, designed to conceal any smaller contents. The pitch-black harness has many different leather straps attached to a mesh body which allows very long objects to be carried conveniently within it.
- a sturdy black traveler's rucksack with crossed malchata ribs attached to the flap
Sleek black fur lines the inside of the large container, the edges near the container's lid frayed a bit in a feathery pattern. Continuing up the shoulder straps and forming twin shoulder pads, the dark fur makes for soft padding around the dark material. Framing the stiff leather lid, the two bones are skillfully arranged into an X pattern, both of them slightly curved but keeping the pattern clear.
- a heavily battered and burned Adan'f skull bound in catgut
Scorched and dented, the skull bears one empty eyesocket and a shattered hole where the other should be, as if it had been exploded from the inside. A cord of tightly wound catgut winds around the skull, keeping the jaw firmly in place while still allowing it to open and close. The excess intestine has been carefully braided to form a handy carrying strap.
- a dark purple sack streaked with stars amidst faltering figures
Images of the Thirteen tumble downward from the opening along the surface, positioned as if falling blindly from the heavens.
A deep purple sack reads:
"Powerhaus Cindergrove"
