A Knock At The DoorBy Halorin on TESO-RP

Ranne turned over what felt like the thousandth sheet of parchment, practically slapping it down in the pile with the rest. The numbers had all started to blur together. This storehouse contained this much of this while another was running low on that. This order needed to be pushed up and this one pushed back. Requests for meetings with these people and those people want to talk sooner. Someone's randomly decided they want to double their order and have threatened to find business elsewhere if the change isn't met while another person wants to put plans on hold until they've considered all of their options. A defeated sigh passed through the man's lips.


Experiment: The WardBy LordMarf on TESO-RP

Hunts-for-Wisdom pushed aside the heavy books on the big wooden table in front of her, using her dark-scaled arms to make room for the large sheaf of papers she was holding under one arm and the small cage containing a chattering rat she was holding on the other. Her tail flicked quickly showing her impatience and she leafed quickly through her notes. She looked at the diagrams. There were a variety of them drawn there: circles with rays coming from within them, circles circumscribed by lines, circles with various axes passing through them, all surrounded by arcane symbols. She muttered to herself and brought a candle closer to the pages, trying to illuminate them better.


The Story of Hassin-Del: The Bleackrock Invasion (Chapter 1) – By oopart on TESO-RP

Chapter 1: Arrival

Why? Why did I ever leave? That was, I distinctly remember, a common question amongst my thoughts. Why did I leave my home- the swamps of Argonia- for this blasted, frozen rock? For that was what Bleakrock was- colder even than some areas of Skyrim, of which the island was a territory. Life for the Nords there is incredibly rough, yet they stay, stubbornly raising crops and animals. I never did get Nords.

Well, I should probably introduce myself. I am Hassin-Del. I am an Argonian, more commonly known as 'lizard-men', which isn't entirely inaccurate. We are indeed a lizard race, complete with claws and tails. Our ability to breathe water and resistance to disease make us perfectly suited to the swamps of Argonia, or Black Marsh to most. I myself am a hunter, archer and enchanter. Lots of folk call me 'hero' these days, but I disagree with that.
