In the forrest there are plenty of dangers and adventures, even in the mountains and river as well. In the town we have many vendors unique and useful along with the Knights Guild to protect us on land.
The Gist
This roleplay is designed to be a full functioning medieval town. There will be everything from a baker, to knights, and even bandits. Love and romance will be in the air along with a thirst for adventure and fights. You can be anything! A mermaid in the Draynor bay luring fisherman. Or, a very wealthy man with a dark secret of vampirism. Hell, you can be a slave waiting to be bought or a butcher who is a lycan on the side! This thread will be something unique and a new idea that has rarely been seen on gaia. Will you be part of a new type of roleplay?

North of Veridian Village, and on the Veridian River are Veridian Falls. The Falls are on the Great Cliffs, funneling the massive Veridian River into a large and deep lake that then transforms the flow of Veridian River into a slow and deep channel that flows out into Draynor Bay. The Forest Surrounding this area is vibrant with life, the grass is lush and green, and many different species of plants are found near the Veridian Falls.
This area is fairly secluded, but while visiting the area you will still find many animals use this as a watering hole. Visiting The Veridian Falls brings you the perfect opportunity to get away from the village and be alone.
Draynor Forest Is located North East of Veridian. Here the forest starts on the east banks of the Veridian River, and ends on the Yulan Coast. This Small forest is more lush and full of life compared to the great Veridian Forest in the west. Here you will find small creeks that flow off of Veridian River and lead into marshlands, and further east the forest turns into sandy beaches on the Yulan coast and on the northern borders of Draynor Bay. North of Veridian Village, the Great Cliffs cut through Draynor Forest, this area is called North Draynor Forest. Here the Cliffs run north defining the coast of that area. Veridian River still will separate North Draynor Forest From North Veridian Forest.
Veridian River, or the Great River. The veridian river is the largest river in the surrounding area, and defines the majority of the borders and major areas. The Veridian river flows south from the Tempos Mountains, and creates the Veridian Falls on the Great Cliffs. Then flows directly to Veridian where it has been funneled by Dams created by the people of Veridian and has been routed through the Town by Aqua-ducts creating channels for easy trade within Veridian before being released into Draynor Bay at the port.
"The Great Forest" is what some of the older villagers will refer to Veridian Forest as, for it seems to be endless. Veridian Forest begins on the west bank of the Veridian River, and pushes west for hundreds of miles. The Veridian Forest holds the major trade route out of Veridian Village, and because of its massive size, it is known to have Bandit camps, Raiders, Thieves and Monsters and Creatures of all sorts. Many parts of Veridian Forest are actually unmapped because of the inhabitants of those unknown areas. Some caves have been discovered that still have little known about them.
North of Veridian Village, The Great Cliffs cut through Veridian Forest as well. And again this separated area is known as North Veridian Forest. Here is the beginning of the Tempos Mountain Range that fills the mass majority of North Veridian Forest and stretches north west creating the border for the icy tundra of the great northern expanse. In recent Years this area has been known to have an increased number of Orc, Ogre, Hobgoblin, and Goblin sightings, and travelers to this area are advised to use EXTREME caution.
raynor Bay is located in the East district of Veridian and is the only regulated port on the Yulan Coast. Here you will find all manner of shops and trade vendors selling exotic wares from other countries across the sea. Fish, sea food, herbs and spices are but a small fraction of the wares you can find here. Being a major trade hub also comes with a dark side, Draynor Bay is a known hangout for Thieves, Whores, Slavers and cut-throat Pirates. When shopping or just visiting Draynor Bay, you will be wise to tie an extra knot on your coin purse, unless you want to become a poor man quickly.
he Tempos Mountains are far North of Veridian, They can be seen from Veridian but are far off in the distance, a looming shadow of the wild world surrounding the peaceful town. Not much is known about the land past the Tempos mountains, some travelers have spoken of a vast tundra spanning for miles and miles, a never ending world of ice. Others speak of Yetti and Giants inhabiting the Moutains. To the adventurer the Tempos mountains are a world of danger and discovery, to others it is a place of death and sorrow... What will they be to you?
The Yulan Coast is North East of Veridian, it spans the entire coast of Draynor Forest until it is cut off by the Great Cliffs. Here you will find sandy beaches, drift wood and all manner of sea life. Because it is the border of Draynor there have been times where creatures will attack beach goers and sometimes intrude on Veridian its self. If you do decide to take a day off and see the Beach, be warned to not lower your guard, or have an armed escort provided by the Knights Guild.

At the camp he remembered why he came into town and put the salve on his arm. He was immediatly relieved. "She is not bad with the potions making." He said to himself. The river was flowing quietly at his right. He made flames lick the floor and made a star shaped ritual circle under him. At the five tips their were a sign of each element, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind. He sighed and went to work.

Most of the pirates were pretty predictable to. EAch bounty they recieved they would split if it was unanimously found. Stuff they got away with by themselves they kept. Key word: get away with. If Jazz found out, she would often make sure that yellow-belly knew what-for. It was always interesting when she threatened or fought someone. It never got old when someone petite as her could still give a wallup to some big ol' brute.
A yawn escaped her lips soon after, not sure what her first-matewould be up to but only left him to his own devices of what he wished. The Captain instead went to her quarters to take care of some little things. Heading across the dock, she went inside the door and closed it behind her to lit-up area with a lot of luxuries of something similar to a bed, table and chairs along with chests and other small furniture. Some used to be the old captain's before Jazz took over his will.

It didn't take long for the man to reply to Xenia's question. "Rare herbs, how so?" She asked him while standing there with curiosity. So far he hadn't threatened who she was or put her in an awkward position. So in the redhead's eyes... all was good. Yet of course good things never las for long. It came sooner than later that the man grew silent and he headed outside. Xenia was slightly surpised for a moment, but let him go on. Perhaps he would come right back.
Heading over to a table in the middle of her shop was things covered in nick-nacks chemicals, empty bottles, and drawers. Opening a drawer, she pulled out a pouch the size of an egg which sounded like beads were inside. With the silver still in her hand from Max, she opened her palm to reveal that it was now miniaturized from what it was prior. Placing the coin in the small back, she pulled the drawstrings and placed the back inside. No one would suspect a thing on where her valuables were now.

Krell
Feeling land under his feet was always a strange sensation. It lacked the rocking you got used to when you sailed, and they were out for months at a time. The other pirates seemed to be eager to be off, no doubt the local brothel owners would make a killing these next few days, but he had.. more important business to attend to. He walked down the pier and through the streets. Even crowded as it was, it was rather easy to get through the streets. Most people gave him a little room to move in. Being as scared as he may not make him beautiful, but it did make walking through the streets easy.
He didn't need to find anything. If they were here, they would find him. He wasn't hard to miss. He should keep a eye on the men, and his own personal mission at the same time. His own personal needs were far beneath that of the ship.
It wasn't hard to find a brothel, he had seen enough cities to be able to follow the trails. It wasn't too bad of a place. Pushing the door open he stepped in to see the sight of some of the men drinking and just... unfortunately for everyone else in the brothel, being themselves. It seemed only one girl worked here, a red head. He almost felt bad for her, almost. It would be a long night, but that wasn't why he was here. He moved to a table situated in a corner where he could see both the door and the kitchen. He did not like surprises. Now he had to wait...
Balthasar
With the matter settled, he leaned back down on his staff. He was getting to old for children. They were always blasting first and thinking later. He tapped his staff on the ground and the ground closed up and all the damage to the nearby area mended itself. It was a miracle that no one got hurt. He turned around slowly using his staff as a point of pivot and walked back to the store. It was rather rude of him to leave without saying anything, but he didn't want to see the damage their pointless fight would have left.
He gently pushed the door open, and gave the girl another small smile. "Sorry for that" He said as he moved back over to the counter. He leaned on his staff and gently reached down to his robes reaching into one of the many pockets to pull out a piece of paper. "I need... these" On the list were rather different items: some were simple such as rosemary, and others a little strange, the liver of a phoenix and so on. "I pay well" He continued to ensure her work would be well rewarded.

Amber sighed with relief when she saw Xander walk downstairs. Two men nearly reached blows at each other over who would have her next. Xander took them both upstairs. This sent a chill up her spine, he was an odd guy and wondered what he was up to. With things calmed down she walked to the new customer who just sat down "What'll you have, handsome?" She asked with a shy looking smile.

Heading over to a different chest, she used a different key hanging from the wall and unlocked that chest to reveal a random frilly dress and she stuffed it into a bag that could be worn on her back and she locked the chest up right away. There, her miniature errands were all finished. Heading out from her quarters and locking that as well, she headed down the ship and to the docks towards town. There was a hop in her step as usual as she walked the city streets, causing odd glances and she really didn't care.
She explored the town, not having a particular place to go as they walked the city streets.

Xenia turned around quickly when the older man came into her shop with a smile on his face. In return, the redhead smiled back at him and walked over as he presented a list to her. "Don't worry about it, sir." She reasoned, rarely smiling at customers when really served them at her store. Taking the list from his hand, she looked over the ingredients and headed to her personal shelf and grabbed her own basket. Looking over each item, she started to pick and choose the items with a careful eye and tried to come up with them.
"For the liver of Phoenix... is it alright if it's dried? Or must it be fresh?" She asked him, knowing some potions required a more careful eye than others. She usually dried her ingredients so she wouldn't have to worry about freshness since time for her to grab things was thin.

The girl with red hair, well seems she wished to talk. Under the table, he reflexively placed his hand on the butt of one of his pistols. In his experienced, a skilled woman was far more deadly than a skilled man. He almost felt pity for the girl, having to work in such a palace, but he got rid of that foolish notion, it was probably just the captains influence that was making him pity this woman.
He turned his head slightly to catch her with his one eye. What did he want? Oh.. how he asked himself that a thousand times. He had lost his purpose long ago, now he merely followed the captain. He was a broken tool that just happened to find someone who would still use him. "How much for your services for four hours?" He gently reached into on of his pockets and pulled out a coin purse.
Balthasar
"Fresh, if you would." Balthasar replied courtly. He leaned heavily on his staff once more. He was aware he did not know her name, and smiled softly. "Forgive my rudeness. I am Balthasar Gelt, and you are miss?" He asked politely. He was old enough to have learned basic manners at least. You always had enough time for basic manners something he always tries to beat into his students.
Something was off about this woman, strange. Not bad, just different, but it would be rude to ask since she nice enough to aid him in this venture.

"Hello Miss. What can I get for ya'?" The bartender asked with a smile.
Jazz smirked and looked over at the shelves behind him with bottles of booze and other nick-nacks on the shelves. "Three bottles of Rum and Two bottles of Bourbon, savvy."
The man was suprised for a moment, shrugging and grabbing the bottles she requested for and placing them in a sack. "20 gold. So ya need anything else, doll?"
A glare passed Jazz's eyes, her gloved hand reaching for her gun and pointing it at the man's head. "Doll? Mate, I suggest you pass on the pet names. She spoke up with a smirk, her hands taking the sack and tossed up ten gold. "Don't watch on the way out." She spoke up, the other bar goers suprised by the woman's actions as she walked out of the door and down the street.
Holstering her gun, she kept walking with a content look on her face and she passed by a noise of laughing men. Looking to the side she spotted her some of her crew was laughing and she noticed Krell walking with a woman. She paused for a moment, chuckling a little to hide her own little stab in her stomach. Never would of pegged him for that kind of man." She mused while she turned and kept walking down the street.
______________________________________________________________________________________
"Fresh? I'm sorry all I have is dried." She replied with a sigh as she grabbed some lilac like he wanted on the next ingrediant. Once the wizard said his name was Balathasar a moment later she nodded and gestured to herself. "Xenia Fedora." She spoke up and then turned around to the shelves to figure out what else he needed. Once finsihed with everything except the fresh organ, she sat the basket in front of him she motioned to it and smiled, "Well, that will be 5 gold pieces."

Xander laughed and walked over to amber and handed her a small napkin.
Amber started walking the man up when Xander handed her a napkin, she opened it and almost gasped. "what are you doing?" she asked him "just having some fun" he said casually. Amber swallowed the purple round pill in the napkin. She'd taken a few of theese before, they could keep her going for for 2 days. She kept walking the man already feeling the effects of the pill.

Lazily rising, with a few flicks of her powerful tail, she surfaced a few minutes later. She took a deep breath of air-not necessary, but it felt good-and looked over the surface waves, rising and falling with the powerful swells. Smiling slightly, she flipped over, back down, and followed the ghostly trail the ship had left, invisible to any other creatures.
She was finally close enough to see the dark shadow the ship created, and soon she was even closer, following it out of boredom. Plus, they might drop something shiny. Mermaids loved shiny objects, and humans had the strange thing called metal which they used to create pretty objects. She stayed deep enough that only a shadow would be visible, but when they docked, she rose a bit, circling beneath the hull.
Curious, she slipped above water again, close enough to read the letters on the side of the ship. The Mermaid. She laughed a bit-a beautiful sound that rippled above the waves-and dropped out of sight, leaving ripples alone to prove that she had been there, while she drifted along, deep beneath the crystal blue water, combing the sand for anything pretty. She’d made up her mind-she liked this ship, and was going to have some fun.
