Torval was brought back from his reverie by his father’s voice calling from below. He looked down on the man striding toward him. Ingemar was a big man, over six feet, and well-muscled from years of hard work and countless miles at sea working the sails and oars of the longships. His hair, unlike that of Torval, was dark red and long, hanging over his broad shoulders, an eagle talon braided in one long lock. His face was covered with a thick beard and moustache, which was streaked with gray running ...

His long, blonde hair, caked with dirt, blood, and sweat from the exertion of this conflict, blows back from his scarred and bloodied face in the light wind.

Liandri was tucked away safely in the stables below, seemingly happy to be around plenty of other horses. I hoped she would be alright down there, it would be a week before we reached land ...
Biology is a far more important science on Aurah than in our world. It has made advances that have greatly benefitted the anthros and ensured continued sustainable development. Sensitive anthro noses could not tolerate the large scale burning of coal and oil in the early industrialisation of Aurah. A viable alternative was found in the extraction of odourless methane from waste. The discovery of electricity brought with it electrical vehicles and trains that filled the cities and gave ...
