In the ongoing Dark Sun campaign, my players found a powerful magical being encased in crystal and did their civic duty, handing it over to their local Sorcerer-King. Huzzah!

@jasteedawnsear‘s character Pyreen. It’s one of the sketches I did at the hallows eve event. She’s the only one that wanted it colored, it seems, so I decided to try out some new brushes on it while I went along. 

Thank you for the fun evening and all the work you put into it!

Another year gone...

What a week!  We hope you enjoyed yourself no matter the reason you came to enjoy another year at the Tournament of Ages and don’t worry - we wish it wasn’t over either. What an amazing turn out this year. Since year one, we’ve seen the number of you multiply and we can’t tell you how much this means. We love hearing about how excited you all are, how much the Tournament means to you IC and OOC. We’re right there with you.  And what a wonderful year this one was. We saw how wonderful our community could be, how selfless you all are. We raised over $10,000 to donate to Wildlife Warriors. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We can’t say it enough. The Tournament of Ages has always been a little more than just running a series of competitions in-game and you proved that ten times over this year. Thank you for keeping that kindness going.  And - Thank you to our Coordinator Maxen, who kept his promise and shaved his head for the koalas! ♥ On top of the fundraiser for Wildlife Warriors, we also released Tournament of Ages merchandise that you all seemed to want to scoop up like crazy! Proceeds from those purchases are going towards the ACLU in the hopes that we can help create change in our world. Because of that hope, we are keeping our merchandise available until the end of the year.

    A word from the Tournament of Ages Coordinators With Tournament of Ages now over, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge all of the creativity, dedication, and hard work of our volunteers. Several months of preparation goes into this event every year, and without the selflessness of these individuals we would not have a tournament to look forward to every August. Please look over this list of names, and pass along a word of thanks if your paths ever cross. On behalf of the coordinators, thank you to everyone who invested your time and energy.

Last year, on these dates, I was shooting in the @irati_xtrem . A road cycling "race" non-competitive, organized by my friends of @pirenaica_oficial where you could ride among the Pyreenes and the France border, or as I always say when I'm there: "Among the green seas on those mountains" But this year, for the COVID-19 thing, it was not possible to do it and all those small roads kept quiet, with no cyclists at all. Hope this next year, you'd plan to go there and enjoy riding on that green sea, inside the mountains of the France border with Navarra. . . . . . #brazodehierro #iratixtrem #errozate #selvadeirati #pyrenees #pirineosnavarros #cyclingpshots #cyclingcols #roadcycling #roadslikethese #lifebehinfbars #instaroads #radsport #ridingistheanswer #igerscycling #canon #canonphotos #outideisfree (at Errozate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBd3qUBjTc7/?igshid=qokddo133vbd

The cavity unit surprises the visitor by the wide variety of its underground landscapes heirloom oil-burning lamps the silkscreen of the conquistador, silver fish in their silent ministrations, shoe-horned into your parent’s basement at the moment of the meeting of two masses, your father not mellowed, just more so. 6 a.m. showers to blasted Credence Clearwater Revival, makeshift plywood on hinges between your bedroom and the bathroom is not a door nor a median, water engulfed through these cracks and diacleses, & his invective bowling-ball flung, turkey after turkey meets the épée of your darting sarcasm the valleys were gradually deepened while a UFO glides in your mother’s breast— mysterious symbols like rosettes, pentacles chrisms. In Shotgun Willy’s refuge of the tracked the framed photographs of every Ms. Columbia Valley circa 1939 who acted on the imaginations of men and left none indifferent, a study in the graduation of sun-damage: ‘39 through ‘48 reveal their beauty obscurely, in cuneiform, wedge of shadow under lip, hair nothing more than vapour plumed on glass, crystals of sinus, gypsum, pearls of caves, and pint after pint of that watery draft. A baby smiles more at a symmetrical face, but can love a towel draped over a mechanical arm. Cut from the same cloth scrapers, polishing machines, etc, Doukhobor stock their bird-bone churches floating in woods of birch, singing as they scythed tracts into the Canadian shield. At the time of the Wars of Religion—yes, they were onto something. Now observe your 16-year-old self in a bad way, vodka-tumbled through the pogoing sloe of the ‘kids these days,’ your bruises linked in defiant archipelago. Knocked-up, you elected to be knocked around, far in the cavity and many bones. The granolas had potions for everything: clary sage for the cramps, passion flower for the grief— your secret, under the effect of glaciers—but when did your parents get so old? How did it last this long? Father’s diatribes: cronyism, Canadian hockey goons, bleeding heart feminazis, mother’s evening-long baths the tomb of the goddess who bore a snake, Pyreene— a frightful balance. In the basement with its doily-draped TVs brass pheasants, beer-crate bolstered ancient futon, your mother’s tissue smeared between slides in Calgary, you submit yourself to the wait, to all lovers of speleology. In your dream the TV picture screwing shut, that final silver fading eye, through which several hundred deeper caves with mammoth dimensions, such as the cathedral, equivalent in volume to the Notre Dame in Paris— the screen shatters. You crawl inside.

Symphony of Silvermoon - Synopsis

Prelude

Zalerian Bloodreign discovers a possible heir to the Sunstrider dynasty and begins to research the matter

Elanya Skyborne vocalizes her disagreement with the direction of Quel’Thalas and gains a following who call themselves Reformers

Elanya is exiled from Silvermoon for speaking out against the state

Erilihn Autumnsong, a long-time friend of Elanya’s, becomes her surrogate for the movement

In a private conversation, Erilihn admits she is a Reformer to Tendael Dawnlight II, who has her arrested and brought to the Hall of Blood

A policing order of blood knights known as the Blood Watch tortures Erilihn and temporarily brands her before releasing her, hoping she’s learned her lesson

Erilihn’s torture sparks outrage among some citizens of Silvermoon

Part 1

The Solidarity Festival, an event celebrating the union of the blood elves and the rest of the Horde, is held in the Royal Exchange district of Silvermoon

During the festival, Ambassador Lem of the Undercity is shot with a poisoned arrow

Ambassador Lem turns feral and attacks a citizen, forcing the guards to cut him down

The city is briefly put under martial law while the Blood Watch restores order

It is later discovered that during the commotion, the Crown of Anasterian was stolen from the Reliquary

Later in the evening, a fencing contest is held and Dorlazuria is named champion

Loyalists, Reformers, Imperialists, and Purists go about their own agendas, each making progress (this will not be included in the synopsis due to IC secrecy - ask your faction leaders for a faction synopsis)

Tensions mount as propaganda posters spring up all over Silvermoon, most condemning other factions or the Blood Watch itself

Elanya sneaks into Silvermoon but is caught and arrested by the Blood Watch

The Reformers protest Elanya’s capture, but the protest is interrupted when news arrives of an Amani raid on Farstrider Retreat

The raid on Farstrider Retreat is put down and the Amani are either killed or captured

An investigation begins to determine why the Amani attacked, Dallos Hasten begins searching for evidence

High elf infiltrators sneak into Silvermoon and try to rescue Elanya, but the rescue fails and Elanya is killed as a result by Arrodis Lightfury

Outraged by the killing of Elanya, Arrodis is subdued by fellow blood knight Ellasha Truefeather, Telchis Truefeather, and Erilihn who happened to be present at the time

Thanidiel Highdawn, a Knight-Commander of the Blood Watch, announces her resignation

A number of other blood knights resign from the Blood Watch in suit

The State of Silvermoon later announces the reorganization of the Blood Watch, replacing Arrodis with Koyasha Mace and promoting Ellasha to Knight-Commander

Imperialist sympathizers start making appearances in public, praising the leadership of the Sunstriders

Rumors spread of the return of a Sunstrider heir

One Imperialist sympathizer named Lyriel Astralblade is arrested by the Blood Watch

An Imperialist witch-hunt begins and Sanarissa Firewing is discovered to be the leader of the group

Sanarissa is subsequently exiled from Silvermoon, but there are still unidentified Imperialists remaining in the city

Part 2

During the Grand Bazaar, a market festival in Silvermoon, a woman named Catriah Phoenixhearth goes missing

Also during the Grand Bazaar, the Hall of Blood is attacked with an investigation pending on who is responsible

Strange happenings are reported to take place throughout the city

It is discovered that the Crown of Anasterian somehow ended up in the hands of the Imperialists who in turn coronated their new king: Eldin’arcus Sunstrider

The Imperialists seize Sunstrider Isle and Eldin makes the Sunspire his seat of power

Eldin makes his first decree as self-appointed king, demanding Lor’themar Theron relinquish the throne

The State of Silvermoon declares the Imperialists to be a threat to the kingdom and declare war

Catriah is found sleeping on a bench near Stillwhisper Pond unharmed

Sanarissa, for reasons unknown, turns herself in and is arrested by the Blood Watch

While Sanarissa is kidnapped, Imperialists sneak into the Magister’s Athenaeum, capturing Vallus Sunsong and stealing other classified documents

An enormous necropolis appears over Deatholme and begins moving north at a slow pace

Sanarissa escapes from prison

Pyreen Lightwhisper, a Loyalist, is captured by Imperialists

Selestra Rosevale, defacto Loyalist leader in Vallus’ absence, leads a contingent of forces from Silvermoon to reclaim Sunstrider Isle from the Imperialists

When Loyalist forces arrive at the bridge to Sunstrider Isle, Sanarissa demands they bend the knee to Eldin, but they refuse

In a demonstration of power, Eldin drops Vallus from the top of the Sunspire, killing him instantly

Loyalists and Imperialists engage in battle and hundreds are slain on both side before Loyalists achieve victory and drive Imperialists off the island

Pyreen is found in a dungeon beneath the Sunspire and rescued

Imperialists sail south from Sunstrider Island and regroup at the ruins of Windrunner Village

Part 3

The Reformers hold a demonstration in Silvermoon

During the demonstration it is revealed that Venithas Bloodstrike, a Magister of Sunfury Spire, was responsible for the creation of the Blood Watch and all the political upheaval

The demonstration evolves into a full-blown riot

Purists use the chaos that ensues in the riot to take control of the Walk of Elders

During the riot, Zalerian attempts to set off mana bombs in Silvermoon City, but he is stopped by Sanarissa and killed

After the riot ends, the four faction leaders convene to discuss the threat of Revoltus, forming a strike team

The Purists reveal they have the blueprints to Revoltus, recovered from the Deatholme Vaults

The Imperialists propose the use of Zalerian’s mana bombs to destroy Revoltus from the inside

Eldin pledges his support to the cause, participating in the strike team

On the eve of battle, Horde reinforcements and a noble of noble houses of Quel’Thalas go to war with the undead forces on the ground while the strike team invades Revoltus

The four factions clear a way to the four corners of necropolis and plant the mana bombs, stopping it completely

The surviving forces in Revoltus defeat the necropolis’ master, causing it to sink into the ocean

The day following the fall of Revoltus, the state pardons all Imperialists, Reformers, and Purists who helped save Quel’Thalas

Eldin and Zalerian are not pardoned, and Eldin is not recognized for his service

An accolade at Sunfury Spire recognizes the heroes of Quel’Thalas

The Magisters condemn Venithas Bloodstrike and execute him for treason

A memorial service is held for the fallen

A number of Imperialists express their discontent at the lack of recognition for Eldin’s sacrifice

You have talked about how you think the dornish men would use their sand steeds in a skirmish cavalry role (jinetes). But we know that the noblemen of Dorne play the heavy cavalry role also. Oberyn was a big jouster even beaten Wyllas Tyrell and crippling him what suggests the use in war of big lances and heavy horses. Also, what do you think is different in the dornish spears? The way they talk about it doesn't seem like the rest of levies from other regions. Could it be a greek phalange way?

Well, usually when I’m talking about the jinete, I’m emphasizing something that appears uniquely Dornish, drawing from Spain which played an influence in GRRM’s conception of Dorne. The climate and terrain of Dorne would support the use of this distinctive unit. I have no doubt that Dorne employs heavy cavalry as well, knighthood is a concept that is well and alive in Dorne, and heavy cavalry was too useful not to employ it. Western Europe, the Byzantines, the various caliphates, sultanates, and emirates, all of them recognized and employed the utility of the heavy horsemen, so would their Westerosi analogues.

I don’t think Dorne employs the phalanx, that appears to be more of an Essosi thing. I think Dorne uses formations of spearmen as a means to provide a good bulwark, barricading their passes and providing an anti-cavalry defense to stop Reachmen knights. They probably use javelins similar to the Almogavars of the Pyreenes mountains as well as from the back of their sand steeds.

If this is interesting to you, you’ll be happy to know that a podcast episode is in the works for exactly this topic.

Thanks for the question, Anon.
