Lunarill’s protectors (Fantasy Verse)
(warning I suck at coming up with Fantasy names)
In the large city of Lunarill, sitting on a small hill towards the back of the town is a large fortified manor. Out front is a lush growing garden with a alabaster path from the beginning of the property to the front door. This is Luther Manor, named after the man who built it. It was once where the leader of the town lived but has since been taken over as a base by a group of adventurers.
Jess had come to be a member of this merry band when she found them wandering her home: Dragon’s keep. After helping them take down some vagabonds intent on giving them a hard time, they agreed to let her join and she’s been with them ever since. Her background is more. . .royal than she would ever admit. She had the luck of being born into the family of the nearby king who in his ‘kindness’ had given his 5 siblings all the titles of lord/lady and had given them pieces of land to rule over. She had been born into the family of the protectors of Dragon’s Keep where the raven is on their family crest.
With the title of heir secure in her eldest brother, she was given freedom to roam whatever she wished or learn whatever she wanted to. A gift she never took for granted, close with one of her older brothers. The two of them learned the way of the woods, learning how to make their steps silent, how to slip into the shadows. The two became quite stealthy, a gift that showed its weight in gold when weapons training started.
Jess chose knives and learnt the way of the blade, throwing them with near perfect accuracy. When the band came to town and she left with them, she left nothing behind. On the way back to Lunarill she discovered an interesting power she never knew she had: She could turn into a raven for a short period of time. She wrote to her parents about it and discovered it was a power that all of her family shared. While she was annoyed they’ve never tried teaching it to her, Max the magic man of the group offered to teach her to see what other sorts of magic she could learn to control.
She has mastered shifting forms but other magic is. . .hard and still takes quite a lot out of her but in celebration of her learning to control her shifting, her parents sent a bunch of raven themed clothes. Jess’s favourite being an enchanted cloak that she soon learned could hide the wearer in shadows. Something she has used many a time in her adventures with the group.
The band themselves travels the land upon request and often go off to fight villains or evil creatures or even to find people, always asking for money in return. No job is too great if you have the money to pay for it but sometimes just sometimes, they’ll fight for the people out of the good of their hearts. Especially for family of another member. The Band are like family to one another and once you’re in their group, you’re always welcome back.
