In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol describes her reunion with her family... #pathfinder #pathfinderrpg #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

At my behest, we sent no runner ahead. Yet nevertheless, the townfolk took wit, and soon a crowd gathered and followed our showmarch to Dale Street and upward through the trademistresses’ farthing, and then ran ahead. By the time we reached the Ofu, they had gathered at the Heartyard, including many kin, friends, and lovers of our warriors, who began falling out to greet long-lorn sweethearts. Against myself, I had no heart to chide the breach.

Then from the Matrons’ Hall hastened Lady-Mother unhosted, and my sisters trippingly trying to upcatch. She waited not at the stairhead but ran down while we rode up. Ere we halted, she unheeded Ess (who had good thought to forgive her upstartness) and hugged my leg. Her antennae shuddered on my harness, and she would not let me go. Mildly as I could, I unsteeded, took her in arm, and answered the kiss, letting her sorrowful gladness overwhelm. I wept, too. So strong were our linked hearts that I think others nearby so befelt. The matrons gathering before the doors withheld, nevermind the breach to couthness. Vosaeth laughed even while she wiped eyes.

At last, my mother grew too weary to hold me more. Sniffingly, she backed, begged forgiveness, and asked what we would. I showed forth Lady Istae and Lady Vosaeth, asked them to stay, and bade the warriors to the Citadel, where they should stall and unpack, and then have the city’s freedom. Cheeringly, Krastaes and the underreeves led them forth, under many merry shouts from the onlookers.

Lady-Mother led us three to her house, along with my sisters and the higher matrons. She welcomed Lady Vosaeth and gave the City’s guesthood, and then spoke she understood we stand in Vosaeth’s dearth after her help and good rede while in the South.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol finally comes home to Son after the Formian War... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

We had crossed the landhold’s edgemark yesternight. Thus we saw the Aelau’s tail within a belltide of morning, which drew me to the prow, along with most any else not at oar. As wont for boatfare, we came along the island’s eastern shore. I watched the landscape slide by and idly wondered whether the hometree of my father’s farmhold stands therein. From my sightstead, we beheld Tonyol’s towntrees and walls show over the fields on the righthand bank. As we followed the island’s bend, the first green sheen: the Father-Hunter’s dome, then the Citadel’s wall steeples. Then over all, the lightspire at the island’s head, everburning where it stands behind Burning-Mother’s temple.

I fought off tears, squeezed eyes shut, and stayed swy. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and beheld Istae. Wordlessly we stood together, speaking nothing but sharing thought.

Our flatbarks sidled up to Lowertown’s wharf while a bell tolled our coming. We got all off the boats and tarried about the harboryard. All helms and harness already shone, and the shotalashu got fodder. We are a veteran host, unbeweighed by the pomp and sharpness folk hold dear, after our late warfare. I asked Lady Vosaeth what she would becrave as Son’s guest. She shrugged heedlessly. If she had something in mind (and laterward I learned she did), she worried not.

Bywardly, Captain Dosuaesh showed, alone and arailed almost as a mean warrior: but a weaponkilt and his rank’s neckband. Wordlessly he came among us, asking no hail, daring no outlay. Yet as one, all the warriors stood aring. Master-Captain went to one, reached forth his antennae, and kissed him. He went to each warrior in trend and did samely. Then he came and kissed my antennae. I befelt two things: ruth and understanding, and reminder of his old firdtide at the war. Even ere our warfare and from first I met him, I had ever witted his sorrow. He had hinted at it in our talks about the Formian War, wherein he had forewarned to not forelook glory...

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol describes their voyage's stops heading up the mighty River Yaro... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

We have reached Hanazhyana after a tough daysworth rowing, for the Stormtide flood has at last strengthened. Tonight we are thankful to get off the flatbarks and under a dry roof. I have chosen to break my own law about staying in Hanazhyana, unleastly for the haven they bestowed when we came here on our comeback from Sovyrian.

Therefore after the warriors settled, I headed up to the stronghold where I showed myself to the watchreeve and told I would beseech hearth with Lady-Captain Ashi and yield goodwill. Instead of Lady Ashi, however, a steadholder told that she is now afield. When I asked what had become of the foul wwart-things we had erewardly fought and brought a sample here, she answered Lady Ashi had earnestly taken our word and has led many scoutfares through rainwood, swamp, and darkfloor seeking those same banes. Even now she iscouts toward Lost Hoshiasa on thought these things might somehow be linked to the worldgate. The steadholder forespoke to bring my word to the lady-captain at her homecome. Then she wished me goodwill, whereat I left with a better worship for the Hanata than I had earlier owned.

7. Shenealae - 11th Day on the Yaro; Mahyat

After another hard four days, we have reached Mahyat, where, oddly, I had never stayed, forwhy it is near enough to Son that it is often missed. Yet Mahyat with Son and Old Hanat made a threesome of the Warrior-Queens' elder cities, whose names fill our yoretales. Indeed, from my lore, Mahyat's ownership made the main feud-sake between Son and Old Hanat, whose yestermind is borne down through Hanazhyana, which was founded by Old Hanat’s afterbears. I have found it a bustling burgh, thick with trade from Father-Yaro’s cleft with the Laul, which stream runs from the mountains and brings much ore. Smeltworks burn nigh forever, which spreads a queer smokiness unfound in other cities I have visited. Mahyat’s smeltworks, instead of burning wood, use a coalstone they delve from the mountains along with...

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol bothersomely deals with Vosaeth taking Oshis up on his offer... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Stormtide has offheld, I gladly say, and we make good furtherness upflood. Our two flatbarks tag each other, sometimes racing, sometimes rowing near to speak over water. I have asked Lady Vosaeth to oversee the other boat, though at night we camp together. Every night, Vosaeth takes Oshis to bed. Such bothers me not. Yet they seemingly take every hap to show their lovesport. Yesternight, we camped abank. I and Istae had made bed together on the flatbark’s stockbales. When we maidens came back from duskmeal, we found Vosaeth and Oshis lying upon our bed. Then they offleapt and left laughingly, leaving us shameful and with blushing brows.

Tonight we are docked at Eiha, where Vosaeth has seen fit to buy an innroom in town. She asked me to duskmeal. When I arrived, I met not only her, but Oshis too. After meal, she asked me to watch. I shrive this nighttide has left me unsettled, forwhy I now sit writing this, unleastwise for Oshis’s thought. He misdraws me, and I reckon Vosaeth knows.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol gets a surprising offer from Vosaeth, her wild Retaea barbarian spearsister... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashutna #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Last stood Vosaeth, wild like the tall moorland shotalashu whom her folk tame and ride, and in whose veins flows the Thief-Queens' blood who once had ruled from the Shemez to the Shattersea. I asked her to name the gift she would have, for she had cloven us whom she had not kenned, but had freely bestowed friendship, and by her leadership had upheld us all.

In answer, Vosath grinned and chucklingly warned that, the last time Son had offered a Retaea such a gift, the Thief-Queens had taken not only Son but the whole Yaro Strath. In goodwill we all laughed. Yet earnestly instead, she spoke she would becrave three things. First, she told while her hips swayed, she would have my love; next, her pick of our korasha; and third, even a child if the gods so will, for she longs to bring a babe back to the Retaea’s wide skies and would reckon it a boon if her child bears Son's blood.

At her word, Oshis boldly stepped forth, as if I ever doubted he would withhold. He knelt, kissed her belly, and upyielded himself, telling he owns proven manliness with children already. We all laughed, though some chided him so offering with Erymi his wifemate so far at home. Yet I knew her mind, and foresaw she would bless his deed.

At nighttide’s end, I sagged against Istae, who led me to a bench, set thereon, and found me bubblemead. I overlooked the innstead, at my friends and under-reeves. I beheld their mirth, and also relief that we had overcome war’s awfulness. I would lead our flag home and take more honor therein than in the outbound fare. Then I leaned between Semuane and Istae, a last mindshare amongst us three, ere dreams took me.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol helps her shieldmates and friends celebrate warfare's end and their impending return to Son... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding

Yestereve, I threw a mirthtide for my underreeves, many whomof I had reckoned as friends and lovers even ere our warfare to Valmayana. I chose the same meadyard Erymi and Remaue had held on our comeback from El, unleastly for its fond yestermind. So I sent word to Lady Istae, Lady Vosaeth, Krastaes, Tae and Less, Oshis, Draue, Nae, and Hanos, who all forespoke to cleave our merry nighttide. Semuane also came, though I think moreso for my sake.

For duskmeal, I had found an elven cook, a craft found only here in Qabarat, with thought to give my friends a dear taste. He readied dishes of salted greens and sourworts in oilwine, honey-roasted thurse-rump oversodden with thick tea-broth, grasscake and cheese, and for the last showdish: a glazed pie baked with with spicy wormworst, sweetworts and nuts, overslathered in creamsap, and then whereover we drizzled meadbrandy. We cheered these dishes and yielded the cook many bubblemead glasses. He took them thankfully, since I had stocked many jugs. I also hired a drummer and singer, who also played harp and upkept our mirth.

The evetide started with good news, and which I already knew, for Tae and Less had made good worth of the shipfare back from Qoaronaea - she is bechild. I bestowed them honeygold threadwork silk as gift, rather like Erymi had gotten years ago. I kissed them both and spoke that, if they still wish, they may welcomely follow my flag, and furthermore may have both house and love, and also Remaue’s, who I already know awaits them so much as I.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Part 3_, Vaeol's and Semuane's relationship reaches a watershed with their return to Qabarat, as Semuane makes a choice about her future, and Vaeol's impending homefare to Son... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Something happened amid our love yesternight. Wordlessly we swore something to each other, not quite matehood as I share with Remaue, which our cities would forbid, but more than idle maidenlove. Semuane sought a belonging, her worth as more than a maiden, even though she will stay evermaiden. For the night I cradled her body against mine, soothing her weariness.

We slept late and little recked duty, for with reach to Qabarat our warfare has ended. The warriors are already given freedom to tarry in the city. If I showed ere noonmeal at the Embassy, I would do well. We awoke already in mindshare as if we had never offbroken.

While we bathed, I asked what she will do. She shrugged and said she would samely as ever. She shared, however, that she knew a sith of like-minded wives and maidens here in Qabarat: other outriders and warriors, some tradewives, and even a few matrons, who belove evermaidenhood. This word heartened me even while it forecaught. If they uphold each other, then my heart will ease for Semuane’s sake.

Her life choice makes some worry, forwhy her kin, like almost other lashunta, forelook daughters to bear forth children and keep the bloodline. Furthermore, without wifehood, she would be withheld sundry rights. And yet, as outrider, it might only be canny, forwhy we forgo wifehood, at least while our first thewdom (I have already had my sisters goading me to set a bridetide and try for a child, and not for my sake). Since I had arisen to flagmaiden, could Semuane follow my example? Maybe so. Our songs and tales are full of yorely outriders who forsook men for a princess’s love, and so benamed their worth and deeds. In truth, the other mate in these lovetales is ever a wifemate, fully invested and with children whom the maidenmate takes as her own, and ever a matron if not higher, under whose ladyship the outrider-maiden is upheld. Our folk show rough eyes to those who fall beyond wont.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol describes the sea voyage back northward after warfare's end... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Our seafare’s highest thrill outcame when a herd of snailgods swam to surface at nighttide, two days ere Nivaea. They floated beside our ship, shells glowing with coral-fey in dithering patterns. Our sailors yielded wide berth, for though these huge water-qoelu stir but slowly, their blow could wallow and swamp our ship or even crush the hull. We stood at the stern while their winking lights faded in our wake.

Nivaea outstood by far the most enthriving city we reached. As the greatest and richest city in the South and founded back while the Time of the Warrior-Queens, it has been rebuilt no less than five times over history, as the bed of great Father-Hisyho has shifted where it meets the Shattersea. Our flag got a walkshow of one of these ghost cities, where the neighborfolk had cleared a path through the rainwood. Thus we got to stand in a queen’s palace main hall, whose throne’s marble dais still stood at the midst, and beheld mosaics of the gods wrought on the underdome, and from the walls, stonelikenesses of the elder queens with their haremmates.

Within the great harbor, we saw folk and heard tongues from Then on Lake Arasene’s shore, and even Candares, who had brought freight over the Sea of Mist from further east. Then I caught Oshis watching along the riverside, overlooking a fleet of odd, brightly hued houseboats tied to the bank. He hailed another man with his hair braided with bright scarves, who stepped off a boat. Shortly they spoke, and then left with friendly waves. Reckfully I turned to Less and asked what betided, and whose boats these were. He answered they belong to the Raumoava, the wandering riverfolk who make their livelihood by trade.

Painting of a snake-like character taste testing a concoction they've been cooking. They are standing in a kitchen populated with different utensils and spices.

Painting of a classroom of anthropomorphic characters as well as one human. There is a fox who is the teacher, a brown mouse student, a blond human student, a bat student, a chameleon student, a hyena student who is asleep on their desk. The focal point of the illustration is on a blue bird passing a note to their blue kobold classmate.

Painting of a bovine anthropomorphic character in full plate armour looking over their shoulder in a field of sunflowers with a bright blue sky.

Painting of an anthropomorphic otter waltzing with a cloaked figure embodying Death. The otter looks startled and scared. Death has boney hands, a skull for a face and a purple "eye" mirroring the otter's. The illustration is mostly in black and white with a red moon silouhetting both characters. A scythe appears on the right side of the piece, and a cemetery is on the left side of it.

Illustration: Ice Dragon

Digital artwork of an ice dragon from the shoulders up. It is made of an icy blue material, and it is covered in straight icicle-like spikes and horns. Especially long horns protrude from its brow, above each eye. Horns of similar length form a ring around the back of the head, beyond a translucent triceratops-like frill. The monster is glaring at the viewer with its many sharp teeth displayed, and the eyes and open mouth glow yellow slightly.

Creature Concept: Aspidus (cyber cobra)

Digital artwork of a mechanical cobra monster. Its fanged mouth is open, and a flame shoots from it. Its eyes likewise streak flames, and two large tubes on its bottom jaw shoot out jets of smoke behind its head.

Its hood, made of reflective metal plates, is open wide to reveal a pair of laser weapons with circles of blue lightning energy spinning around them. The edges of the hood are lined with spiky, rib-like bone structures on hinges.

The metal body is coiled over itself on a rough black floor, and the tip of its tail is made up of large exposed vertebrae held together with sets of cables that run through holes drilled into the bones. Held high above the ground at the end of this chain of bones is an electrified string of metal balls. Bolts of blue lightning similar to those in the hood weapons jump from one ball to another.

The sky behind the cobra is black and filled with stars.

Creature Concept: Baldhart the Black Flame (fire dragon)

Digital artwork of a black dragon with a dull red head, neck, and chest, facing left. It stands on a bluish mirror-like surface that is lit up with streaks of blue light.

Its wings are a purplish tag color, and huge compared with the rest of its body. Its tail is also elongate, and is patterned with rows of spiky barbs that can also be found on its neck.

3 pairs of horns grow from its head, two on the top, and one that curves around like a tusk on the back of its jaw. A short beard of black fur grows from the bottom of its head, longest under the tip of the chin.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol experiences a crisis of faith before the Qoaronae... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

The Valmaean High Captain spoke before the fane. She bade us remind our tide here and the warfare we had witnessed, the foe’s dread we had undergone, and the friends fallen we had lost. She bade us bear this yestermind back homeward and never forget, and never forgive. Then she bade us pray to the Qoaronae for winfulness.

My throat choked on the hymn, and I could not spit the words. Of all the gods I have kenned, the Qoaronae I love least. Unlike Burning-Mother, from what I saw at war, the Qoaronae do not ward and do not cleanse. They reap souls and blood, and whether they be lashunta or formians, I wonder that it may reck not. Instead of light, they belong to darkness and thrive thereon. Yet that is the least reason. For the coldheartedness and bloodymindedness I witnessed in Valmayana, I forsake the Qoaronae.

In school, I read the ‘Woe for Lost Valmaea’, and even foolishly tried it in the original Old Valmaean. I had loved the poetry, the fights and love-bouts, and overall the sheer wrath, a City meeting its own death. I remind how the hero Lady Beareal’s speech shouted right off the bookleaf into my mind: “Keep your warm gods smiling through heavenly skies. My gods behold a fiercer spirit. I, like them, was born under the South’s low, heavy sky. Heaven smiles not here. My heaven is the battlefield.” Lady Beareal and the Valmaeans may keep their southern gods. I choose Heaven.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol witnesses the war-goddess religion of Valmayana... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

After another year of such watchfare and other tasks, our firdtide in Valmaeana ended with our comeback to Qoaronaea. We marched up the Street of Heroes in full weaponshow, under the High Staff and Captains’ oversight. We were then led into the Temple of the Qoaronae - the War-Goddesses, at the city’s heart, a building so great that its main hall easily holds five thousand folk, which tallied, including us, the Qabarata, our other allies, and so many Valmaeans as the room let, as Honor Ward. There we stood sharp under the gaze of the Goddess’s mighty stonelikenesses, each fifty armspans tall, carven in startling, awful whitsomeness: hair of snapping snakes, mouths afang, blood-dark wings, harness gleaming darkly, and weapons clutched in clawed hands. The Qoaronae, whom the Valmaeans have besworn as their matron-goddesses, and this city’s namesake. By all tales, this stead is a world-wonder.

I heard a yoretale that the Qoaronae are the triplet-daughters of Burning-Mother and Father-Night. When they reached maidenhood, they went to their father and asked to help in warding their home, their siblings, and all the Sun-Worlds. When Father-Night yaysaid, they beseeched him to show them the Outer Darkness, for they claimed they must understand the dreads they would ward against. Begrudginlgy, Father-Night listened and led them into the darkness between stars. When the three maiden-goddesses came home, they were fearsomely shifted: no longer fair, and looking even as their stone-likenesses shown before me.

When I behold their snaky locks, sharp mouths as carven in their stones, and bloodily clawed fingers, I recall bewritnesses I have read of the elder Moqeva. I wonder how we have undertaken gods who even seem like these erstwhile foes.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol comes face to face with the embodiment of her people's bane: a Formian Myrmarch... #pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Then came a lone shape from the Formian swarm, who climbed a small crag beside the neck. A great Myrmarch, almost big as a Shotalashu and rider together, shell-crest sweeping like a helm, glyphs twisting down her scales, such as my grandmother Eavol had slain two hundred years ago, stood at the crag’s far end.

There she rose to full height, and weaponless. We reeves overtalked this meaning and reckoned she wished a truce-speech. As outrider and also soulseer, the Captain looked to me. I swallowed my boldness, sat Ess, and outrode to meet the Formian.

Semuane and Oshis rode as host to the crag’s foot. There, under sight not only of the lone Myrmarch staring buggily down, but also both hosts, I kissed them both. Then I handed Semuane my swordbill and sword, and then bade Ess climb the crag. Gamely we scampered upward, though my worry set him on edge. We reached the cragtop and beheld the Myrmarch awaiting.

Again I overlooked her shell-whelmed head and body, and the glyphs etched thereon. Quoth the Southerners, Formians so bewrite their deeds and rank upon their bodies. Unshakingly, this Myrmarch’s shell was so etched down to her spindly feet. Though she bore no weapon, I beminded her tail-stinger bowed high. If this outcame a trap, then I reckoned I had Ess to even the odds, and we should sell our lives so dearly as we could.

Ess halted about ten strides from the Myrmarch. I doffed helm under arm and looked with eyes unhindered. Likewise did the Myrmarch, though her inborn shell on brow and cheeks stayed. I then bewitted I had given no thought on how to begin this speech. So I stretch forth my antennae, felt for her mind, and merely bade: ~Limi:~ “Speak.”
