The Vels
By Bella Morta | October 16, 2014
Ellora opens her thick gold leaf foyer door, allowing it to close softly behind her. She walks through the hallway and removes her elven robe, hanging it on her coat hanger that she made from a dead oak. She turns toward the kitchen and gets a whiff of peach as she proceeds forward. She knows she is about to encounter an unwelcome visitor. Ellora steps into the kitchen and spots Kairi, who is pleasantly taking advantage of a free snack.
"So the prodigal daughter returns." Ellora says, as she pulls a cooking pot from above the stove. "Nae saian luume'. Has mother seen you yet?"
Kairi stares at her sister and takes another mouthful. She knows not to answer this, as this visit has played out more than several times throughout the years.
"I do wish you would not tarnish my table with your muddy shoes. It is the result of hard work, and should be respected."
Kairi nibbles the residue remaining from around the peach pit, and places the pit down on the table. She then grabs another and chews that one apart.
Ellora turns, facing her sister. She sees a smug half-elfling with her muddy boots on the table devouring a peach like it was her last meal. "You do not have to be a pig! Show some respect for my adobe!"
Kairi's foot shakes back and forth, and she leans back more comfortably, smiling as she presses her teeth into the peach. "I only give back what I get" she muffles, mouth full.
Ellora sighs heavily. She runs her fingers through her copper hair, something she does when she's trying to keep her composure. "Mani uma lle want? Mankoi naa lle sinome??"
Kairi spits, "You know I can't understand a damn word you're saying!" *chews* "I need a favor."
"Lle lakwenien? What trouble lle in now? I told you that I would not be paying your fines any longer. Lle have bled me dry, sister, and I am unwilling to part with my coin again, only to have you back for more."
Kairi sits up, putting her feet back on the ground. "No! Actually, quite the opposite! *bites and continues as she chews* I just need help getting established *swallows* I found a town to settle into, and am taking up a profession in..."
Ellora cuts her off before Kairi is able to continue her rant. "Kairi! How many times have I heard this? By the earth I have no time for your lies. Stop humoring me and tell me lle had been caught with your hands in the, what do lle call it, cookie jar?!"
Kairi chuckles. "No, not this time, sis! I'm here to ask you, as one sister to another, to assist me in aquiring a home. That's all."
Ellora's brow furrows. She has been mislead by Kairi's motives in the past, and still has a hard time deciphering her b.s. from the truth. So she presses some buttons...
"When have you ever considered me a sister? You came here after father passed, and rejected mother and me from the start! I tried to culture you, to open you up to your elven heritage, to arrange marraige for you...and you gave me no appreciation. Only resentment."
"I was young and 'ell, you said it yourself! I was raised by humans! I have an excuse for my disposition, tsk!"
"No more, Kairi.." but Ellora pauses. She thinks for a way to turn this around. She should try to believe her sister's story. And if it is a scam, she would feel better as a deceived victim, than an elf who cares not for her blood-kin.
"Kairi, dear sister. I want to believe you, I really do. So I shall give you this one chance, one oppurtunity, to show me that you have grown into the moral being that I..WE so want you to become. But there will be conditions."
Ellora steps forward and presses her knuckles on the tabletop, leans down and faces Kairi, eye to eye.
"One, keep your hands in your pockets. I will not bail you out again. I will not pay back bounties twicefold. You will deal with those consequences alone. If you should fail, I will be gone and will never be seen in your company again. I
will no longer stand to have our namesake tarnished by your repeated criminal history."
"Two! Once you get on your feet, I will have done my deed as a sister to you and I shall deserve your respect."
"Three!! Take that piece of cloth off from around your ears and show some pride. You disgrace us all with your shame."
Kairi puts her hands to her ears, holding the cloth bandana against them, "But it's my security blanket!" she whines.
Ellora stands upright, gives Kairi one final stern stare, and goes back to her meal prep.
Kairi picks her peach pits up from off the table. She wipes them against her apron and stuffs them in a pocket. "See ya in Narrowhaven! And by the way, sis. I'd appreciate it if you didn't spread any rumors. I'm trying to be on my best behavior."
Ellora shakes her head in regret as Kairi walks out. "Narrowhaven. What have I just agreed to?"

This land I now find myself on is, almost untouched as I wandered many nights looking for anything. Each night running till just before dawn then quickly digging into the damp soil for the coming day.
Wile laying in the soil's firm grip waiting for sleep, my mind raced with to many questions. Where am I, what of Ariakus did he go down with the ship? I couldn't touch his mind anymore. Normaly this could only mean a few things sleep, death, great distances, or magics. In my eyes all are baddly timed. Nothing left not even my beloved rune sword Vlos.
As the sun set the one night, I broke the soil's hold and stepped up free into the cool dusk air. Knocking the dirt free my hand hit something weighted. Swiftly I looked down and pulled at the pouchs around my belt. My withering fingers didn't want to move as quickly as I would have liked.
To my releaved eyes I still had my small orb of seeing. Holding the three inch orb in hand softly I spoke my command. Staring into the orb's swirling formed gray clouds cleared and revealed a land with many cities and magics. For even the simples magics could block the orbs gaze.
Following the orb I came to a city with many walls surrounded by jungles, desert, and water. I slowly tried to mix with the people coming and going to this city. More then once I had to stop and clear my mind. I could feel the hunger building the more I move around them. The smell of thier soft salty skin running hot with the blood of the day's labors.
Leaning against a wall druck with these images came a voice speaking at my. Blinking quickly and shuck my head and looked up. A man was asking if I was new and was looking for training. He spoke of a school he had started to help those new to the realm or in need. I followed him to a fort just out the city's west gate.
Once in the fort I met a trainer, who had shown me a few new things with a blade. After, spoke again about maybe joining them there, politely I side stepted it. Fine warriors and mages from what i seen. But my kind are only welcomed so long after they know.
Plus I wish to see if there are others kindred around. If I find none then I am honor bond to ensure that the Cappalacial bloodline continues, thrives and is protected.

Awakening in the deep
By Rizzen Vorn | October 2, 2014
Stopping a few times he picked up a rock or two and stared at the grains in the rock. Hitting the rock once with his hand pick, it split open. With a deep sigh he tossed them back down. Turning back to the others he yelled," Come on you lazy dogs bring me another touch before i go ahead." As the miner's boss lit the touch he seen what looked like a part of the tunnel turned to a collapsed chamber.
Holding the torch low the foremen walked closer to the collapsed area. Leaning down to one knee, he studied the rocks then again he cracked one open. The men behind him waited to hear the deep sigh. One miner yelled down the tunnel,"Did you find something boss?" Yelling back at his men the foremen said,"Hurry I think i found a vain of valorite it looks like, bring the timbers we have to clear the tunnel's entrance first.
The men worked two long days cleaning the entrance, finally with the last rocks moved and the entrance braced the foremen walked in first. The caved in area's walls shined brightly with valorite as the foreman's torch light the room. Looking back at the others he smiled and waved them in to start working.
For a week the men took shifts working the walls of the cave. Standing over the men watching them swinging their picks. The foreman leaned down and dusted off the ground and with surprised his hands touched smooth tile. With a puzzled look he told the men to stop digging and starts clearing the floor of rocks and boulder.
The men did as the boss told them to. After a few hours the men had cleared the tiled floor. All except a huge pile of boulders in the middle of the chamber." Come on men stop staring at the boulders and start breaking them up and get them out of here."their foremen ordered firmly.
The first pick axe hit the boulder's surface and started oozing a dark thick liquid. Stopping the miner yelled for the boss to come and see. The foreman walked over and touched the liquid and smelled it. Taking the pick out of the boulder the foremen looked at the pick's bent end. Turning the pick axe to the good side now the foreman raise it high and brought in down hard on the same spot.
The pick stuck into the boulder this time, but it didn't sound right. With his hand still on the axes handle, his hand shook every few secends and was increasing. The pile of boulders started to shake as well. All the workers backed away from the center of the chamber waiting to see what was happening.
Standing back in terror the men watched as the boulders moved to reveal a huge dark grey dragon uncoiling infront of them. Seeing this the men started running out of the tunnels. Only the foremen and a few other couldn't move out of fear. Their feet looked to be rooted in place as the air thicked around them. Watching they seen the grey dragon had someone in his claws.
Tenderly the dragon held what looked like a elf with snow white skin and tattered clothing. Slowly the dragon uncoiled from around the elf. Softly the dragon placed the elf down on the ground. Then turned it's attention to what had pierced it's tail's scales. It's massive claw pulled the tiny pick free then with a twitck it sent it's tail out side to side to crush all in the chamber. All but one died out right, the last one the dragon picked up and softly squeezed till the man passed out.
Dropping the foremen to the ground the dragon lightly pushed the elf with it's nose. Seeing the elf not moving the dragon picked up the foremen again ruffly this time. It layed the man across the elf's chest. The grey one poked at the foreman's neck with his one claw. trying not to rip the man's head off. Laying his head down to the floor the dragon watched as the elf's nostrils started flaring.
The elf's red eyes shot open and hissing as his fangs pierced the foreman's salt neck. Sitting up the foreman's body fell to the side. Looking around slowly the elf's eyes came to meet the dragon's gazing back at him. " I remember you being smaller or have i shrank?" he said to the dragon. Raiseing his head now the dragon left out a deafling laugh," No my master you are the same size." Standing now the elf turned to the dragon," I told you once before you can can me, hmm what was my name?"thinking along moment" Oh yes thats it Ariakus was my name right?" The dragon noded to his master."Ok then lets see if you can still get out of here." Picking his master up tenderly, he held him close to his chest as he rammed his way out of the cave. To the dragon the elf said loudly," I wish to see what has changed since being traped down there!"

LEVIATHAN- she devil of the seas! A RP STORY
By Mob Hunter | September 28, 2014
The waters lay silent and calm. Garret knowing the chance he had disturbed a grove of horrifying sea monsters to be greater then ever before. Laying down In his boat he felt the hull o his ship begin to make a sound. Echoing for what seemed like ages , a scratching sound . But sturdy. The ship began to rock and toss. Something had grabbed the boat. Upon standing up he saw an ungodly sight. What looked as thought it were around fifty feet taller then te line if the water . Stood a giant kraken much larger then te last ones sighted. This created appeared to have upset the ocean floor very much so ; for along with the mighty Leviathan came a contingency o lesser known baddies water elementals, krakens of smaller dimensions, sea serpents and deeper lesser known versions of themselves.
Te quick thinkin Garret knew he was in way over his head. He quickly began to play his bamboo flute and lute to try and calm the savage beasts.
One by one he calmed them . Slowly putting them Into a relaxed lulled state.
Whilst giving commands to his tiller man the ship was sailing flawlessly through the crowds of monsters.
The monsters proved too much for Garret and he was forced to retreat back to the main land. Killing several kraken and serpents even a few water elementals.
As he approached the port he made haste to abandon the ship at the docks. For te dreaded leviathan was hot on his trail. Jumping across what seemed like 10 to 12 foot gaps as it carrined over the docks , climbing up the bulkhead and onto the shore.
Noone was safe!!! Had Garret accidently brought ruin to his new home? He was dismayed he couldn't felt the beast himself.
The quick thinking Garret called his pals at the list tower and asked for help with the mighty devil. A few moments of running for your life will set you into perspective.
With his last remaining mana Garret manged to open a mystical gateway to another Location .
Through the gateway two figure can be seen running towards him. He immediately realizes this is his reinforcements.
Appearing in a flash a Deamon of significant stature comes through. Followed by Arkanum the Legendary Mage and Vitzik a ranger from the north. For a better bowman I could ask for none.
At a moments notice the magical fury was unleashed waves of vortex horrors appeared , daemons, and summoned undead bound to our realm by Garret's learnings in defense I te dark arts. A long forgotten art . It is also rumored to be taught at te Newley opening arcan university.
After a long and arduous battle the creature lay still. Giving very little in the way of bounty one item notable of rememberence is the elusive" rope " that was seized from the corpse of the slain mega kraken. I want to thank Arkanum and Vitzik for their help in taking down the devil of the sea with me . Althought the bounty wasn't what we were expecting. The fond memories we have made together .I will forever cherish. Thank You! I have written this with my phone. I hope to come back soon with a more detailed account if the encounter with the devil of the sea! Your local fisherman and pal, Garret Greencorn... Captain Greencorn hehe

Visions of the Crusade
By Doc Kade | July 15, 2014
He opened his eyes to find himself on the edge of a great cliff. High above the clouds, Forge could see the world stretching out in all directions. Beside him, a being of pure light stood, gazing off into the sky. Forge squinted and held his hands up to try to make out the figure's features, but the light was blinding. Come, Forge Kade, I have much to show you.
The figure pointed to the distance, where Forge could make out the shape on the Lone Islands with Narrowhaven at it's center. But Narrowhaven looked different. It was young, the buildings were new and the wildlife was vibrant. From the sky, one seed tumbled to the ground and sprouted.
A twig, then a leaf, then branches began to grow, and Narrowhaven grew with it. The tree towered high above the city, and the city grew out around it, as if feeding off of eachother. Arms of the tree spanned the islands, and lights burned brightly in castles and shops throughout the land. But just when the land seemed to be at it's strongest, the islands began to grow dark.
Lights in homes and shops dimmed, and the faded into darkness. The wildlife wilted and died, and the forest turned to desert. With no nutrients to sustain it, the great tree began wilting. Branches crashed to the ground, destroying chuncks of the kingdom. And then, time froze and a layer of dust covered the tree and the kingdoms of the world.
This is the past. Now see the future.
From the very top of the tree, one seed burst forth, traveling along a beam of light into the sky. The beam then plummeted down into the distance, in the middle of a small island. Light poured out into the surrounding kingdoms and they were purged of evil and darkness. Their lands flourshed, population grew, and the light brought peace to this world.
Go now, Forge Kade. Leave your worldly kingdom, your posessions, and be cleansed of the corruption of this place. You will go forth proclaiming My Justice, My Judgement, My Purity and Peace. For I am your Maker, and you will be my sword.
When Forge woke up, he knew what he had to do. He and Doc paid their final dues to the rest of the company, and packed away anything that would be dangerous to the few remaining citizens of Narrowhaven. Then they set out, carrying nothing but basic clothing and a book of hymns. The Maker's light would guide them to their next destination.

Official Press release – Movement of Ownership
By Orlando | June 24, 2014
Over the course of the last year and a half here at UO Roleplay we have been hard at work finalizing the development through our Alpha stage known only as "UORP". We have had an absolute blast building the UO Roleplay world and have been honored to have you all join us in the first part of this journey. If you take a look back you can see the progress we've made over that past 5+ years as we slowly started to drift away from the stock UO server and lore to something more individualized and unique creating a truly unique world. Through the development of the custom systems, unique lore, new content, and with your help as a player, we have finally reached the limits of the UO Client/RUNUO system. We have reached the point where we really want to add more content, more artwork, more animations, more monsters, more mounts, we want to do so much more, but the client literally won’t let us do it!
So the 4 of us, Matt, Patrick, John, and Lucas had a chat to see what our options where. For some time now we have realized that we have been quickly approaching the limits on what the UO client can handle and we saw that we really had two options:
A. We could write a new UO client from scratch. Build something from the ground up that would work with the runuo server. A new piece of software that would allow us to do more then we can do now with UO.
B. Or we could build our own game. Create own own server, create the world, make it do what we have always dreamed of doing with UO but could not do because of the limitations!
At this point there was really only one option available to us... Create our own game!
Because we love UO Roleplay so much we are going to be passing it onto a new group of leaders and developers headed up by Alpmara. We have complete confidence in Alpmara and we are very excited to see what all of you are going to create in UO Roleplay world!
We are supper excited to introduce to you Narrowhaven Online. A Massively Multiplayer Online game supporting PVM, PVP, and RP game modes. Allowing players to do what they want, be what they want, in a world they create and control. Also having the ability to slash their way through hordes of beasts, minions, and monsters on epic quests. Supported by a strong and dynamic story line which changes daily based on the actions of other players. Cities will rise and fall based on the choices of the users.
We have done a good amount of research and we believe our own game will be competitive, much less limited, and MUCH more content rich than UO could ever have been. Below are posted a few screenshots of very early development to give you an idea of the project we are creating:
We are going to create something that we have always dreamed of creating and we want you to help us!! We need your help! Together we are going to create the best RPG game that has ever been created! So please visit http://www.Narrowhavenonline.com and sign up today! Follow all of our status updates and be one of the first to peak at our fantastic game.

The Company’s Return
By Big T | June 24, 2014
It was good to be back in Narrowhaven. Even though much had undoubtedly changed, the city still felt the same. There were new faces around town. New citizens, new merchants, even a few new adventurers had apparently decided to make Narrowhaven their home. The young fencer Lanelynn came immediately to mind. Somewhat ill-equipped perhaps, and with much to learn, but possessing a grim determination and a heart of fire. He was one to watch.
There were still plenty of familiar faces around, too. Mauzen still strolled up and down the streets, as if lost in his own contemplation. Engale had made an appearance at the shop as well, always showing up when least expected and disappearing just as quickly. And of course there was Gaia, the mischievous nature spirit. Bankenfuere's lip curled up in a snarl, shaking his head and setting the antlers of the deer pelt he wore swaying and rattling. The so-called goddess had wasted no time in stirring up trouble. What her infatuation with causing him problems was, he would never know. She would have to be dealt with somehow, sooner or later.
Bankenfuere pushed her from his thoughts, looking once again out towards the sea. He and the Kades had been gone longer than they had planned to be. Still, the journey was necessary. He had needed to go, to return home once more, and finally put his ghosts to rest. Their had been many challenges to face, many battles to fight, and he and the Company had emerged victorious. Now they had returned, to take up where they left off.
With that thought still in mind, he glanced around the town, noticing the looks he drew from the townspeople, especially the womenfolk. News of their return had traveled fast, indeed. It wouldn't be long now until various people came to the Company seeking their services. Kings and beggars, saints and murderers, adventurers, craftsmen, drunkards, and nobles. It didn't matter who they were or where they came from. They all had need of things that only the Blackfoot Company could provide.
Bankenfuere turned around, taking a whetstone from one of the smiths and retrieving his axe, Goreshovel. He stood and admired the weapon for a moment before drawing its blade across the stone. They would be busy soon. There was much to do. It was time to prepare.
