High in the mountains, far above the other settlements, dwell the Syrenn. Also called the Birdfolk, the Winged Hags, or the Bloody Singers. They are described as having the legs, feathered tail, and wings of birds of prey, with the torso of a woman, cruel talons upon their hand s and feet,and...

Those merchants who think it easy to take advantage of the primitive Isslen by offering them shiny rocks often find themselves on the bad end of the deal instead. Although males are not too bright, the females are another story. And the Matriarch always does any negotiations for her harem. It...

Well... I'd prefer not to, really. I was going for a differnt feel. Barizar is a decadent place where anything can be had and decidedly Aleasanan, while Arber's a frontier of another culture that has become an armed camp and merc central. In Barizar slaves, narcotics, and other items of that...

Index And now presenting the Aleasana index. I'm breaking it up by category. Numbers below refer to what post it is. The standard viewing format is 40 posts per page. I'll present it now as incomplete, and edit it as I go. Also, if someone tells me how to link to specific posts (if...

Yeah, I recall the Faegrim being to the southwest. I figured the Island would be north of that. And it's not exactly just off the coast as the various archipelegoes are. I figure it's a bit further out. Trade involves a sea voyage, but not a too too long one. As to being overrun, it is...

Well, it is complicated. The occasional summary is somewhat helpful, if brief. Just throwing out ideas, but maybe an index. Say divided up by category, and then what posts it's mentioned in. Like, say Dragons, Post #xxy or whatever. Or, is it possible to link to specific posts? Then just...

Doh! That never even crossed my mind. :eek:

And, jumping on the religion bandwagon... The dragons have their own religion with no connection to the humanoid races of Aleasana. Their religion revolves around the elements, which they regard as the building blocks of the world and life, and the embodiments thereof. There are four major...

The Order of the Just is one wing of a larger organization: The Guardians of Aleasana. This group was the kingdom's peacekeepers and police force, and still do so, albeit in a capacity limited by the fragmention. Nevertheless, the continue, and their exploits are one of the reasons for the...

Perhaps the most bizarre claimant to the throne is Nara, an alu-fiend- and the daughter of the last king by his first marriage, to a succubus who had seduced the king in disguise in an attempt to engineer some hellish plan. She was discovered, and forced to flee, leaving the half-breed behind...

Sorry for the absence. My internet died, and right now I'm using a friend's. I'll keep up as able, but if I can't, that's why.

Will throws a scowl at the sight of the decker drinking on the job, but turns at Siren when she explains the financials. "Sounds okay." He pauses at the call for introductions. "Cat." he grinds out. "Everyone called me Cat." It's a little apparent the nickname irritates him. "I was until...

Sarli notices Kayla study him like she could see right through him for a few moments, and recognizes the significance. Mage. he thinks to himself. If he minds the common mage habit of astral peeking upon meeting everyone new save the thought, Like a dog that has to sniff everyone new. he...

Definatley no. Here's the thing- Law<-------------------------------------------->Committing crimes for money. See that? Shadowrunners are at the opposite end of the spectrum. ;) And population : X million in the sprawl/ 5 guys. See that? That's bad. ;)

I don't believe I've seen this mentioned, but who's the law in this sprawl? Lone Star, Knight Errant, some other company; or plain old public sector cops?
