Validar left Corunglain for Ft. Fletcher in New Frontiers #67. He expected to be away longer and for Gabriella to head to Pyris and spend the winter there. The hope was for him to return to Pyris himself sooner than later. Ft. Fletcher was recovered much quicker than expected and while many of the ...

Validar placed his left hand on Acerion's shoulder and clasped wrists, while Gabriella took Ivy by the hands and gave her a comforting look.

"If you have need of anything," Validar looked first to Acerion and then nodded toward Ivy, "You have only to ask. It is our pleasure to honor the life of ...

The Morning Funeral -

The long day turned into the long night and then became an even longer night as Corley and Jallarzi had rescued Lady Ardel from her kidnappers. Gabriella had stayed awhile to help with her recovery, until she was properly cared for and fully resting. Gabriella had wanted to ...

The King agreed to the details of the preemptive strike on the leaders of the army moving north from Athenos. We needed to strike before the army arrived. While it would be possible to defeat the army with the adventurer forces assembled, it would involve a tremendous loss of life. The soldiers ...

The long night is winding to an end, but it is about to get longer and more emotional for some. Validar sees Corley approach his cousin Jallarzi and notices a sense of serious concern on their faces. Although he cannot hear what is said over the din of the chatter as the King’s planning session ...

Validar and the rest of the Guardians of Light finished up their time in Corunglain in post 66. In post 67 they were in Fort Fletcher, regaining control of the fortress.

As dawn approached, the first light of day began to peek through the cracks in the shutters, casting a soft glow across the ...

The day had been long and drug out in Elcadan while at the side of the Duke. After there was much planning for the events to come. Validar stepped into the room that he and Gabriella were given while at Jallarzi's estate. A fire burned low in the fireplace and the flame of a single candle flickered ...

The previous evening, after everyone had returned to the Sallavarian Estate,….

“Validar!”

The Baron of Pyris turned at the familiar voice. But oddly it was not sweet and melodious. Validar had not heard his woman seemingly so angry before. The accusing tone once more accompanied his name ...

Jallarzi Conversation

Before leaving the hall, Jallarzi will seek out her cousin, Sir Validar. “Hello cousin. It seems your mission met with success. I have a favor to ask of you. Given that the enemy is nearly here, and I am no doubt among the targets, I am going to move my staff and their ...

Civil War Planning

There is talk about how to deal with the multiple attacks coming at us from Athenos, the Inner Kingdom and Corunglain. Anything from the Corunglain area has not been identified, so we have no idea where the threat may be. Fortunately Fort Fletcher has been secured and at least ...

At some point in the evening, Duchess Lysandra will speak with her son about a matter of interest to her. “It is our intention to bring the orphans from the Azrellan Temple and any other children into the castle during the battle for their protection. I would like Lady Ivy and Lady Lyonessa to ...

The Guardians dinner had player posts in it throughout a few posts. Acerion and Ivy announced their betrothal in Post #65.

The evening had been filled with laughter, camaraderie, and tales of valor, the air in the hall thick with the aroma of roasting meats and the clinking of goblets. Gabriella ...

Gabriella's eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned in closer to Validar, her dark curls brushing against his shoulder. They sat in the quiet solace of the private room he had secured for them, the candles flickering shadows on the walls and casting a warm glow on her bronzed skin. She spoke ...

In the dim candlelight of their private chamber, Validar's muscular arms enveloped Gabriella's waist as she sat comfortably across his lap. The warmth of the hearth cast flickering shadows on the walls, dancing in tune with the gentle sway of the curtains. Her green eyes, a stark contrast to her ...

In a bustling marketplace of Zakhara, where spices filled the air with their warm embrace, a young girl named Gabriella danced among the stalls. Her bare feet nimbly carried her swiftly over the ancient cobblestone streets. Her laughter, a soft melody, blended with the chatter of the traders and the ...

The following day would be the Guardians' gathering. Gabriella and Validar have some morning projects they each need to complete after breakfast and then they have the afternoon to spend together, before the evening meal. She is once more dressed in the clothes she wore the day he first saw her in ...

“You said earlier that you would like to hear me sing,” Gabriella cooed softly. “May I reward the care you have given me by singing a song for you, darling?”

Validar sat up straighter, intrigued. “Most certainly!” he said, not even trying to hide his excitement at the prospect of hearing her ...

Gabriella and Validar remained in their comfortable embrace. The substantial seriousness of their dual expression of love for the other, slowly dissolved into more mundane conversation about random subjects, like family, favorite colors, which foods they disapproved of and whether candles were best ...

She shifted in his arms, sitting up more to face him directly. “That is a worry of mine,” she finally says.

That caught him unexpectedly. “Whatever do you mean, my dear?”

“In simple words, just that. I am not a typical Cynalonian noble woman.” A look of concern filled her face. She hesitated a ...

After the meeting with the King, Gabriella and Validar have some free time. He invites her to share dinner and, in the meantime, she wishes to have him meet the children they saved. Certainly interested to see how all the refugees are doing and witness further the activities that Gabriella had ...

The three new knights stand and raise their swords together, tips touching overhead. “For Cynalon!” Validar will cheer and the other two match his acclimation. They then turn and face the rest of their comrades in the Guardians. Striding back toward their proud and congratulatory faces, Validar's ...

In New Frontiers #63, we had the meeting between the newly crowned King Victor and the Guardians. This is a point where a significant re-write comes in. Gabby and Validar have reconnected already and she was not part of the King's council. Her place would have to be replaced eventually and for now ...

After the discussion with Yusef about joining the Guardians and stories about his past and background, Validar and Gabriella have finished their morning meal and are now in the halls of the Duke’s Gatehouse. He specifically takes her hand, instead of offering her his arm, which would be the courtly ...

In the morning, Validar will awaken early, if not overly so, as his body does require some recuperation after the strenuous activities of the previous days' battles. He will send out a messenger to locate Lady Gabriella in the morning, to have her accompany him to the morning meal.

Before long ...

New Frontiers #61 is where we begin our real changes. Obviously Gabby is not in the meeting with the King this time. Otherwise, everything happens the same. Gabriella's lines are absorbed into Jallarzi's and now the real work begins!

There is the meeting with the King, the discussions immediately ...

To set the stage on what happened, I send you to a quite epic tale. In my opinion it was one of the most overwhelming odds, the most difficult of tasks and the storming of a city already under attack by eleven brave heroes. All while bringing along a group of 50 refugees rescued on the road outside ...

This was not her dress at the party where they met, certainly. It was much more refined. However, being summer in Gateway she likely appeared in something more like this at several points.

I was quite pleased with the pencils on this drawing and not as pleased with the inking that came from it ...

While the meeting and subsequent early relationship between Gabriella and Validar was never written (as mentioned there was not enough back story at that time anyway), we're not going to try and recreate that. It would be so much more work. And since it was not actually a part of New Frontiers, it ...

Validar finally met up with Lady Gabriella at a meeting with the King after the Siege and it was revealed that she had been an advisor to the King himself. She also came across as a lot more formal and romantically detached than what I had envisioned. Despite the underwhelming romance, the two ...

In a nutshell, this will be exactly what it says: the story of the romance between Lady Gabriella Allonica and Lord (and eventually Baron) Validar Vanarkus. But there is more to the story, than just a story, of course.

This "project" started due mainly to a series of misunderstandings and lack of ...

Once the Blackhawk is airborne, Validar mentally goes over the plan in his mind. There are so many unknown variables that make this proposition extremely risky.

Validar watches the process that Serena does, so that he has some idea of the concepts at work at least. This sort of ship was opening up ...

Chareos will accompany the King and Duke into Elcadan, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the mission he volunteered for.

If Chareos is going on the rescue mission to the Order Hall in Alexandria, then there is no time to ride into Elcadan. The rescue mission is happening this early evening ...

Validar thinks more on the subject of Teris and her message. From her starting point in the Inner Kingdom to ride all the way to Elcadan would take at a minimum nine days, pushing herself to the brink the entire trip. Nine days of preparation and organization. It will take them quite some time to ...

And so it begins....re-begins.... begins yet again... hmmmm...

Onward!

The Seekers were off to clear Castle Elcadan. Likely a long process, Baron Validar did not expect to see them again before the assault on the Order of the Griffons headquarters in Alexandria.

There was much to do and Validar ...

Greetings all!

Saw some new things on the web about Champs Online. So thought I would take a sec and share.

A release date has been announced: July14th. Of course, this means that it will be sometime AFTER July 14th most likely, but at least they are talking about final version.

I have seen alot ...

Baron Validar -

Sir Corley -
"Lady Vera is in no harm from the Corun boy. He wants her for his wife; no other reason. She may be imprisoned, but she is surely alive and well kept. Think rationally and you will see that it certainly is better to have allies in the Retribution Mission."

The anger ...

Maraudon is a place that the satyrs have taken over and it is also filled with demonic creatures and other nasties. Tatyanah and Kyerna have invaded the place and come out successful. Tatyanah has also soloed the dungeon, as the creatures are very susceptible to a paladin's special abilities.

The ...

Baron Validar -

“Has the kingdom fallen this far?” Sir Corley cannot help but wonder. “That we are now fighting with our own? I know that there’s never been any great love lost between the Inner and Outer Kingdoms, but all out war? I wonder what our ancestors would say if they could see us now ...

OUT OF CHARACTER -

I just wanted to mention that it appears that several people mis-read my comment on volunteers for the mission to free the Order members. It was not the intent that all missions would be done simultaneously. While I appreciate the suggestions on where people want to go, I do ...

The way I look at it, is that it is an entirely different world or version of the world we know. Obviously the characters will be different (unless we program our own version of the game!) in some degree or another. Powers may be different or they may use things we do not expect. And it will be ...

Hello -

Did a little more poking around tonight and found out more things about Champs Online.

Apparently you will be able to go into a magical dimension or outer space or the underwater city of Lemuria too, among other locations.

The PC and 360 versions will have their own servers dedicated to ...

Baron Validar of Pyris-

Once the immediate situation with Jallarzi and the rescue of the King is decided, Validar will send his squires to gather the Seekers and also send word for the Guardians to explain about about what they have learned.

Validar will have the Seekers prepare for their ...

Baron Validar of Pyris -

The Lady Sallavarian indicates that she can scrye for the king with her Crystal Ball.

“Do so immediately, Jallarzi,” Duke Relon states. “We need to know what has befallen the King.”

The Duke also agrees with the idea of using Castle Elcadan as a base for the Civil War ...

Baron Validar of Pyris -

Validar is up early as per his regular routine. He meets briefy with Lady Gabriella and shares a quick morning meal.

Before long, the High Priests of Heironeous, Mystra and Helm arrive at the Sallavarian Estate and explain their findings. The being that is imprisoned in ...

Baron Validar -

Sir Corley makes his report and it seems that all has gone well, other then the information about another dragon being present and the mysteriousness surrounding the imprisonment of something beneath the castle. There was some talk about what to do with the being and the dangers ...

I think I can answer some of the questions MAD posed here, from what I've seen about the game online.

I am looking forward to this one and the more I see it the more likley it is I will be playing. Pretty much a very good chance, so who else is interested in forming a hero team?

The MMO part I ...

Baron Validar -

Validar has been spending time with the Duke watching the goings on and assisting the Duke in the preliminary establishment of the new Duchy. They have learned about several of the Council being killed and devils were found there, not the expected demons. Pehaps there is more to ...

Eventually Tatyanah was compelled to begin adventuring in the lands beyond the Dark Portal now that it has been re-opened. In the heart of the Blasted Lands, the Horde and Alliance unite (sometimes) to fight a common foe, much like they do with the Argent Dawn far to the north. Here Tatyanah has ...

The holidays in World of Warcraft always are a reason to celebrate. There are often quests and events or other things to keep you busy for short periods of time. In October was the Dwarven Brewfest. Here Tatyanah learned to ride a ram and worked briefly for a beer company telling everyone in Iron ...

Tatyanah has encountered many of the dungeons on the main continents by now, both with other members of the Order, with other groups and even solo in some cases. This was a very small group that went into Uldaman, the ancient dwarven stronghold held by the Dark Iron Dwarves. It started out with just ...
