WordPress Safety 101: A Guide to Hardening Websites Against Attacks

Are you tired of constantly worrying about the security of your WordPress website? Do you want to fortify your future and protect your online presence from cyber-attacks? Look no further, as we have the ultimate guide to hardening WordPress. 

In today's digital landscape, it's crucial to take proactive measures to safeguard your website from malicious hackers and cyber threats. With a disciplined and determined approach, you can fortify your website and ensure its safety for years to come.

Let's dive into the world of WordPress security and equip ourselves with the necessary tools and techniques to defend against potential attacks.

Why Regular Updates are Critical?

The foundation of a secure WordPress site lies in its updates. Regularly updating the WordPress core, themes, and plugins closes security gaps and fortifies your site against attacks. Enabling automatic updates ensures you're always ahead of potential threats, making your website a tough nut for cybercriminals to crack.

Fortifying Login Security

Brute force attacks target the weakest link in security: passwords. By enforcing strong, unique passwords and implementing two-factor authentication (2FA), you add a robust layer of security. Limit login attempts to thwart attackers further, ensuring they're locked out before they can breach your defenses.

The Role of SSL Certificates

SSL certificates are your frontline defense in securing data transfers. They encrypt the connection between your website and its users, safeguarding sensitive information from prying eyes. This not only boosts security but also enhances your site's credibility among visitors.

Tightening File Permissions and Database Security

Proper file permissions and database security are your website's armor. Setting strict file permissions prevents unauthorized access while customizing the database prefix deters targeted attacks. Employ strong, unique passwords for your database to fortify it against intrusion attempts.

Implementing Security Plugins for Comprehensive Protection

Security plugins act as your site's bodyguard, offering features like malware scanning, real-time monitoring, and threat blocking. Opt for plugins with a stellar reputation and comprehensive security features to manage your site's safety effortlessly.

Regular Backups: Your Safety Net Against Data Loss

Think of backups as your safety net; they ensure that, in the event of a security breach, you can restore your site to its former glory without significant data loss. Automated backup solutions that store data off-site provide peace of mind and an effective recovery strategy.

Conclusion

Hardening your WordPress site is a crucial step in securing your online presence against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. By implementing regular updates, strengthening login security, securing data transfers with SSL certificates, tightening file and database security, utilizing reputable security plugins, and maintaining regular backups, you create a fortified digital fortress. This not only protects your website but also builds trust with your audience.

Embarking on this security journey requires diligence and a proactive mindset. However, the peace of mind and enhanced protection it brings to your website are invaluable. Remember, in the realm of digital security, complacency is the enemy. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and continuously adapt to new security challenges to keep your WordPress site safe and secure.

Eager to learn more and transform your website's security? Dive into our comprehensive blog for detailed insights and advanced strategies to harden your WordPress site.

Found another odd tag — keyed off the word "hiding" — and this time it's a long one!

So, the full tag is:

#blac chyna is hiding true feelings about her ‘rebirth’ makeover – her ‘lip clamps & droops’ are the proof

This sounds like a celebrity gossip headline! And sure enough, this tag is full-to-bursting with this article exclusively.

I got this from the desktop site, because it's wild to see. It's just a wall of the same article, all the way down, for multiple pages.

They're all from early November 2023, and all from blogs with names that end in *-polycom, *-mag, or *news. It seems fairly self-evident that this is the work of some kind of tabloid, but I'm a curious cat. I want to dig deeper.

Digging Deeper

Most of these posts tell you (they don't provide links!) to go read the full article on POLYCOM. Ok, what is a POLYCOM? I don't think it's Poly Inc., maker of video- and teleconferencing appliances, but a few cursory Google and DuckDuckGo searches yield no evidence of anything else.

The most recent post tells us to go track down the article ourselves on "IN TREND", but provides no URL or link. Searching around for "IN TREND" on the web is fairly difficult, returning results for well-known fashion publications, trend analytics, and a brand of clothing called "Intrend". Searching for "In Trend Today" returned more interesting results, including an InTrendToday YouTube Channel and Facebook page. The Facebook page seems to have stopped posting in late 2018, but the YouTube Channel last posted a video on Dec 18, 2023. I'll talk more about the YouTube Channel under the cut at the end of this post.

Some of these posts do have "read more" links pointing to posts on Wordpress, all of which claim to be "on MAG NEWS". Each *-mag blog links out to a separate Wordpress account which seems to be re-uploading the same story. All of these Wordpress Accounts are deleted (for violating Wordpress ToS), and all of these linked posts are gone (here are two examples):

Somehow, I doubt this is some covert arm of the Maricopa Association of Governments newsroom.

Digging down into the results on Tumblr, I found a copy of this post made by the blog vouxsportsnews. They link a Wordpress article from another dead Wordpress account:

BUT, their most recent post on their blog (a gossip article about Zendaya posted on Jan 5, 2024) does have a working Wordpress link, to vouxsportsnews.wordpress.com (clever 🙄):

This is an archetypal internet-based gossip rag. I didn't know these still existed! I guess Wordpress is hunting them down for sport?

The "Read More ..." link in the article goes to a website called top.neotrends.today, which is a sketchy link I will not be clicking on. The "full article" is apparently hosted on www.primesky.media, which I also will not be directly navigating to. I did manage to get a screenshot of the front page of primesky today (Jan 8, 2024) using a webtool:

I blurred the article shown on this page to preserve the privacy of the person it featured.

Primesky is hosted on a Cloudflare virtual private server, and no public info is available on who owns the primesky URL. A search for "redroads amag" on DuckDuckGo leads back to primesky. A search of the same on Google leads to a website at www.clickhere.world, which is immensely sketchy and looks identical to primesky. At this point, I'm going to end my search for a culprit.

Conclusion

I thought I could find the tabloid hydra's body, but I just found more heads. I'm not surprised the operators of a gossip rag bot network on Tumblr are also playing dirty on Wordpress, and covering their digital tracks well. Sometimes it's best to just report spam and go on with your day.

It should go without saying, but DO NOT NAVIGATE to these websites! At worst, they will give you every virus. At best, they will mine crypto in the background of your browser (and rot your brain).

The YouTube Channel Digression

The YouTube channel intrendtoday was created on Oct 4, 2017, and it has more than 53,000 subscribers as of my posting this post (Jan 8, 2024). However, the earliest video on the channel was posted on Nov 7, 2023. That is suspiciously close to when all of these Blac Chyna spam articles went up.

Given that the videos posted get less than 50 views on average, I think the grossly-out-of-proportion subscriber count is evidence of bot subscribers. Maybe the channel re-branded and deleted a prior back-catalog? Archive.org has no snapshots of this YouTube channel, but SocialBlade claims they lost nearly 3.5 million video views in early September of 2023 (indicating they deleted a lot of videos).

SocialBlade also indexes this channel under the name "demattradinginfo", not "intrendtoday". Archive.org doesn't have records of a YouTube URL for the channel demattradinginfo, but a Google search of that name shows results for Demat Accounts, which are a type of financial account commonly used in India to hold securities and trade stocks.

It's possible that whomever is behind the gossip news spam is also in control of this YouTube channel. I wouldn't be surprised, given how frequently people offering financial advice on social media are either scammers or spammers (and sometimes both!). However, I have no proof that the people behind this YouTube channel are the same people behind this social media gossip spamming.

WordPress Security: How to Keep Your Website Safe from Cyber Threats

If you have a WordPress website, keeping it safe from hackers and other cyber threats is key to protecting your business and users. While WordPress website development services can help set up secure sites, here are some simple steps you can take yourself to boost security.

1. Use Strong Passwords

A strong password goes a long way. Avoid easy passwords and usernames like “admin.” Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and consider two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.

2. Keep Everything Updated

Make sure your WordPress, plugins, and themes are always up-to-date. Updates fix security bugs, so keeping everything current can protect your site from potential threats.

3. Pick a Secure Hosting Provider

Good hosting makes a difference. Choose a provider known for secure servers and backup options. Many WordPress development services can recommend reliable hosts if you need guidance.

4. Add Security Plugins

WordPress has security plugins, like Wordfence or Sucuri, that protect your site by scanning for malware and blocking suspicious activity. They’re simple to set up and offer great peace of mind.

5. Back Up Regularly

Backing up your website regularly ensures that you have a recent version of your site if anything goes wrong. There are plugins that automate this, so it’s easy to stay on top of backups.

6. Limit User Access

Only give admin access to people you trust. WordPress lets you set different user roles, so make sure team members have just the level of access they need.

7. Monitor Your Site

Keep an eye out for any unusual activity, especially in the admin area. Many security plugins offer activity monitoring and can alert you to anything suspicious.

Final Thoughts

Keeping your WordPress site safe doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps and support from WordPress website development services, you can protect your site and build trust with your audience. A secure site is one of the best ways to keep your online presence strong and your users safe.

Question of the Day: Mall Security

Do you think that Mall security should be set up like the security in national/international airports? There was a shooting that happened Friday, December 29th, 2023: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox4news.com/news/arlington-parks-mall-shooting-arrests.amp And, guess what ? It happened in the middle of the fucking mall!😱🤯

No block function on WordPress

This is uh, a serious problem. Now, there are some security tools, but not many. You can set it so you have to approve new subscribers (followers). For small blogs that only get a few new followers a day, this is probably practical. You can set comments so they have to be approved before they post; there’s an additional setting where if you’ve approved a comment from someone before, their new…

Professors as Social Media Platforms

1. Severus Snape — Tumblr (dark mode, obviously)

Unsearchable username. Reblogs potion disasters and gothic poetry at 2AM. No tags. No comments. Just layered emotional trauma and an occasional hex.

“He’s been online this whole time. He just never speaks.”

2. Minerva McGonagall — LinkedIn (with terrifying precision)

A CV so flawless it terrifies Ministry recruiters. Endorses Transfiguration and Professional Decency.

“Tenure: Eternal. Patience: Exhausted.”

3. Albus Dumbledore — Reddit

Knows everything. Posts nothing. Occasionally leaves cryptic comments that start philosophical wars.

“User prophecyWatcher_1865 strikes again.”

4. Sybill Trelawney — Pinterest (but cursed)

Boards full of teacup patterns, celestial charts, and unsettling predictions. Half aesthetic, half apocalyptic.

“Today’s vibe: Death… or a new beginning.”

5. Filius Flitwick — Duolingo

Tiny. Cheerful. Slightly too enthusiastic about correct pronunciation. Your streak is his pride and joy.

“Ten points to Ravenclaw for properly rolled Rs!”

6. Pomona Sprout — YouTube (gardening side of the internet)

Uploads low-res but heartwarming videos about herbology. Comments are wholesome chaos.

“This video taught me to love magical compost. Thank you, Professor!”

7. Remus Lupin — WordPress (password protected blog)

Wrote three brilliant posts in 2006. Hasn’t updated since. Still logs in weekly just to reread the comments.

“It was always about the subtext.”

8. Gilderoy Lockhart — Instagram (blue-tick energy)

Heavily filtered. All selfies, no substance. Somehow still gets brand deals from Flourish & Blotts.

“New wand, same charming smile! 💫✨”

9. Dolores Umbridge — Nextdoor

Uses all caps. Reports students for breathing too loud. Wants to ban Centaur-owned businesses.

“Just a neighbourly reminder: no loitering on school grounds after 6PM.”

10. Horace Slughorn — X (formerly Twitter, still self-important)

Knows exactly who to follow and when to retweet. Every post sounds like a dinner party anecdote. Only uses “exclusive” group chats.

“Ah yes, I taught her! Bright girl. Very tweetable.”

11. Rubeus Hagrid — Facebook (but only uses it for photos of magical creatures)

Every post starts with “Bless ‘em.” Half blurry selfies, half emotional rants about dragons. Comments on your post just to say “proud of yeh.”

“Tha’s Fang in his wee jumper. Don’t he look smart?”

12. Poppy Pomfrey — NHS Online (but with magic and no patience)

Diagnoses in 0.5 seconds. Treats in 0.2. You leave the ward cured… and slightly afraid.

“Mr Weasley, this is not a hotel.”

13. Professor Binns — Wikipedia (but the 2004 version)

Outdated. Uneditable. And somehow still being cited. Monotone delivery. Nobody knows when he last logged out.

“Still loading… eternally.” Then… “He died mid-sentence and the syllabus didn’t even notice.”

14. Rolanda Hooch — Strava (but make it brooms)

She tracks your flight patterns and your attitude.Will not hesitate to bench you mid-air.

“You crash it, you clean it.”

15. Quirinus Quirrell — YouTube (Conspiracy Channel Edition)

Starts with potion reviews. Ends in full possession. Comments turned off. For safety.

“This went from ‘fun facts’ to ‘run fast’ real quick.”

16. Alastor Moody — Telegram (but for ex-Aurors only)

Locked. Paranoid. Sends seven messages when you say “hi.” Profile picture is just his magical eye.

“CONSTANT VIGILANCE. Even in group chats.”

⸻ 🐾 Bonus

Argus Filch — Maintenance Admin page Mrs Norris — CCTV in feline form

🧹 Filch — Admin Dashboard (password: pain) Only logs in to block students. 🚨 Mrs Norris — Notification System (with claws) Silent. All-seeing. And somehow already behind you. “Student presence detected. Begin glaring.”

thinking more about @thetransfemininereview's Trans Microlibrary Project.

It's a good idea, an important idea. TBH microlibrary preservation projects seem like a good idea in general. My mom used to warn me about internet safety, “The internet is written in ink”—that once you put something on the Internet, you can never fully remove it. But the tragic problem is, that’s only true of the stuff you don’t want spreading—the stuff you actually want to preserve is so ephemeral it can disappear without a trace, and you can never get it back again. Jamie Berrout's work is an eternal preservation difficulty this way. A few years ago, a Metal Gear fanfiction author on Livejornal I loved deleted her LJ account and all her foundational Metal Gear fanfic was just—gone. I go and reread some important blog posts about asexual history and link rot has already set in. The Internet Archive did something phenomenally stupid and as a result faces a credible threat to its continued existence.  Personal offline archives of internet-native work seem more important now than ever.

I believe wholeheartedly in the Trans Microlibrary Project and I certainly have PDF copies of several trans books that it is hard-to-impossible to get anymore (Jamie Berrout’s work, primarily, but also one of Xemiyulu Tapepechul’s poetry chapbooks) and other indie trans fiction that who knows how long the content hosters will allow in this skittish political climate (Gillian Ybabez’s flash fiction and various works by the Trans Women Writers’ Collective/River Furnace), so I’m thinking about buying a handful of flash drives and making my own personal preservation projects:

Contribute to the decentralized Trans Microlibrary Project as described in this post (and this will be an inspiration to read M. Kirin’s book Memory Leak, which a recent review piqued my interest in. Itch.io is a very under-recommended venue for indie queer books!) I'm particularly interested in sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and related genre fiction.

An Ace & Aro archive—so much of the important ace writing is on blogs and in zines, and with Matt Mullenwig beefing with Wordpress, I don’t know how stable Wordpress-based blogs will continue to be. Thinking about trying to download PDF copies of the entire Asexual Agenda. I also have several self-pub ace and aro books that are… at best okay tbh. But worth preserving as well. 

Fanfiction. Wanting to have the stuff I like on hand and safe—not even from government censorship or hosting problems necessarily but from all the things that inspire people to delete their fics and their accounts and their blogs. I’ve been burned by Athena Crikey deleting her LJ after years of inactivity and I don’t want to lose so much work I’ve enjoyed over the years.

More projects than that would probably prevent me from doing anything at all lol. But this offline preservation work of internet material is something I have a renewed interest in actually doing.

What do you think is worth preserving?

Native Intro For Social Media:

Native intro or introduction for social media

✋ ⚠️

Hello there

BYI or before you interact. For old and new followers and lurkers.

Have a native introduction here in my own bio links and pinned post. Be sure to check it out if you can. For old and new followers. For accessibility purposes and safety reasons. Esp as a lgbt and disabled native of color creative and social media user.

It’s a singular native introduction post on my tumblr, wordpress, and my blogpost. If reading one singular post is easier than a thread. It’s why the links are in my bio and pinned post. It’s also a native introduction thread on my bluesky and my threads (of instagram).

My main socials (other than my tumblr):

My native introduction is reposted as a singular post onto here on Blogspot and Wordpress . For your mutuals who don’t have tumblr.

Singular post versions:

My Wordpress:

My Blogspot:

Introduction thread versions:

My threads of instagram:

My bluesky:

Threads (of instagram) and bluesky are the most up to date versions of my native introduction thread

My native introduction that is a singular pinned post here on tumblr, wordpress, and blogspot is reposted onto my threads (of instagram) and bluesky as a bio pinned post and native introduction thread.

Not all of the info on this single native intro pinned post on tumblr, wordpress, or blogspot is reposted into the native intro pinned intro thread on bluesky and threads though. Since there is a social media text block limit. As well as for privacy, safety, & security reasons.

FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions:

🛑 🚫

This is a list of rules, guidelines, procedures, & boundaries. For those of you who are also bipoc, qtipoc, and disabled. For those of you who are white, cishet, allistic, neurotypical, abled bodied, & or non native. To make this a better, healthier, & safer social media experience for me.

This is how i am vetting people i want or don’t want following me. I’m trying to cultivate and curate the social media sphere I want here. To protect my social media space. Esp as a marginalized person.

I don’t do follow for follows. I don’t have the time or the energy to follow back every single person who follows me. Thats how we got twitter into x. I’m not doing that. I also don’t follow anyone without vetting them first as a lgbt and disabled social media user and creative. For safety, security, and privacy reasons.

Be sure to check out my bio links pinned post and or pinned post before interacting with me in any way if you are a new follower. You should be doing this for every social media anyway. I’m trying to not have the clusterfuck of Twitter happen here too.

Always recheck my bio links pinned post and or pinned thread before interacting if you are an old follower. I’m always updating this with up to date information. This tumblr, wordpress, and blogspot singular pinned post btw is the most up to date native intro cuz of how easy it is to edit here.

Remember those symbols and that before you interact are in my bio and pinned post for a reason. Please respect my social media boundaries. Esp as marginalized social media user. I’m a visibly brown queer trans and disabled native of color.

If you don’t read my bio, links, pinned post, and or pinned thread and you interact with me. I’ll see this as you not respecting my social media space/sphere and boundaries as a marginalized person. I will mute unfollow and or block you. I’m taking extra steps to keep myself safe here as a marginalized person. If you can’t take the time to respect that. Then you’re not clearly someone I want in my social media space. Plain and simple.

The introduction is detailed and thorough for a reason. Past lateral violence and micro aggressions. I’m trying not to encounter that here. This shouldn’t need to be fucking said but apparently it does. Don’t be mad at a marginalized person for having a long intro. Remember rules guidelines and procedures. Be mad at bigots who made this all necessary in the fucking first place.

You don’t have to read the bio links pinned post and or pinned thread in one go also btw. Remember that I am a disabled writer artist and creator. It’s not meant to be read in one go. I’ve written it with the help of bipoc qtipoc and disabled mutuals. You can like it, pin it, bookmark it, whatever. Continue where you left off until you’re done reading it. 📌

With that out of the way. Thank you. Welcome to my social media sphere and space. 👋

Preferred Names:

Hello. My Indigenous Pasifika preferred name is No’eau Aitonui Hoata/Heiani Mareva Hoata. If you are Indigenous or Indigenous Pasifika please refer to me by that name

My Vietnamese Kinh name is Ngoc Hien/Xuan Dinh Nguyen. If you are a non native person of color please refer to me by that name

Names on the left is when I’m kane/tane or masc. Names on the right is when I am vahine/wahine or femme.

I do have unisex names for when I am maohi raerae (think two spirit, mahu, or fakaleiti) or native third gender.

But I am not comfortable sharing it on social media. Only use these names if you are a fellow native or indigenous pasifika. Or if you are a non native person of color. Not if you are a non native yt settler.

Names have power. I don’t want certain people referring to me by my certain names for obvious reasons.

My English/French name is Christian Henry Nguyen/Charlotte Jeanne Nguyen. If you are a non native white person you can only refer to me by this name.

It’s alot more nuanced than this but this is based on our racial cultural and gender identities and their relationship to each other.

Preferred Pronouns:

Any and all pronouns. Including neopronouns and indigenous third gender pronons. He/him. She/her. They/them. Xer/xers. Zer/Zehir. Native third gender neutral oña. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈⚧

For unisex or gender neutral names when I am they/them, xer/xers, or zer/zehir. Ask privately for the names.

I will also accept native masc femme and native third gender terms. As well as masc femme and genderfluid terms from other cultures of color. Be sure to clarify which ones are which first for me.

Don’t assume masc. That queer and trans symbol is in my bio for a reason. Esp as a third gender native of color. I really don’t want to be misgendered or deadnamed on here like Twitter. The only time you can ever refer to me by masc without asking me first is when we are irl for safety reasons.

General rule is ask for pronouns first. If I say he him. Refer to me by my names on the left. If I say she her. Refer to me by my names on the right. If I say they them, xer xers, zer zehir, etc. Ask privately for my unisex or third gender names.

Spoken word poetry anthology book:

Do you want to read a spoken word poetry anthology book I wrote as an Asian native Pasifika artist who’s a songwriter and spoken word poet? Its called Heart of Fire Dragon Soul of Flame Phoenix and Sea Fairy Ocean Blood.

It’s about being a disabled native (autistic, neurodivergent, chronically ill, & mentally ill disabled), a displaced disconnected state side diaspora, being an Asian Native (as a Vietnamese Kinh, French, Chinese Hoa, & Polynesian Tahitian Indigenous Pasifika person of color), a child of a transracial adoptee, & about being a QTIPOC (queer and trans third gender Indigenous person of color).

I have been working on it for a long time as a storykeeper, language keeper, and culture keeper. I have been working on it for a long time as an artist who’s a poet and songwriter. Since seventh grade of junior high.

It includes a personal foreword and personal afterword to Indigenous people specifically Polynesian, Micronesian, and Melanesian audiences.

The old cut and censored version of it was linked in my pinned tweet of my Twitter mudaship39. Before I deleted my Twitter. Cuz of musk.

The new cut and censored version will be posted to tumblr, wordpress, blogspot, threads, and or bluesky. If anyone is interested in reading something like this. The uncut and uncensored version of it is on a google doc on my google drive.

OK I've learned a bit more about how deep the cuts were on the recent layoffs, and I'm a lot more concerned than I was before. Please, everyone who has a blog and cares about preserving their content, or anyone who wants to stay connected - take this post seriously and Do The Things.

There's another way that might be easier, depending on your access to an install of WordPress that is not hosted on the WordPress site*.

*Because Automattic - the company that owns Tumblr - also owns WordPress, and if things are going south for them, using the WordPress site might not be any guarantee of safety/backup for your content.

Apparently it's very easy to import all the content from a Tumblr blog to WordPress because they share the same structure/platform. Here's a plugin that can help with that. So if you're able to use WordPress on a hosted or private server, that's an easy option for backing up your blog.

Once More - On Creating a Personal Website

Over the weekend, I wrote the above post on my main blog about a new FREE webhost called Nekoweb. While I still use Neocities myself, I just wanted to toss this out here as an alternative, especially given where sites like this and WordPress are going in terms of the lack of your content's safety and your control of your work.

Learning basic HTML is pretty straightforward, and there's lots of templates out there to get you started. Once you get the hang of it, you might surprise yourself with how much fun you have designing your own site and not being held back by anyone else's design and content choices!

The cool thing is, you can make your own website, then link your stuff here (like I did above) to share it to any social media you like. But it's not TIED specifically to Tumblr or X or Bluesky because you host it somewhere else. So, you can still post it to social media to get the word out about your writing or art, while maintaining control of where it lives in the long run.

HTML files can be backed up. So if something happens to your host, as long as you keep your website files on your computer or other media, you can always turn around and upload it to a new host. No fear of having your stuff wiped forever because it's locked in a social media account database you can never reach.

Just some considerations!

🔥 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒂𝒓

- Hᴜᴍᴀɴ

- Sʜᴀᴅᴏᴡ Dʀᴀɢᴏɴs

- Mᴀɢᴇ

Her real name is Favilla Arteius, only daughter of an important noble family of Minrathous.

Since she was a child, she has always cared deeply about the fate of the slaves. She was the only one in her palace who treated them like human beings, and many times she tried to help them secretly, drawing the ire of her parents upon herself.

One day her mother tried to kill her nanny in front of her eyes, as punishment because she dared to give her, a slave, a piece of strawberry cake. She reacted instinctively to protect her beloved friend and her powers exploded, setting fire to her home and any family ties she may have had to it.

The slaves managed to escape, not all of them, but the few survivors brought her to safety, giving her a new life, under a new name. The Mercar family welcomed her under their roof, raised her like a daughter and helped her to control her powers.

The intense shock of that moment and the fact of being only a child, contributed to erasing those memories from her mind, which every now and then reappear, like bad nightmares from which it's difficult to wake up.

This didn't stop her from continuing to fight for what she believed in. Freeing slaves from the yoke of the Empire became her reason for living and this did not go unnoticed. The Shadow Dragons had long had their eyes on her and when she grew up they recruited her into their ranks.

About the rest of the story... I'll leave the task to Varric. He's much better than me in this things.

Echoes from the past

Lucid Nightmare - part one

Lucid Nightmare - part two

You are my ocean..

You are my ocean My first love was the sea. Uncontrolled and free. I danced with her, as a child. I fell into her waves and I felt the safety of her power and strength. Today by the Pacific I sat with Beatrice, my Italian beauty and  I traced her sun-kissed skin with my hands. I told her,  my love. I fell into your blue eyes, wild and free. Made me find old places,where I was once wild and…
