Dragons, creatures of majestic destruction, able to breathe fire. They are as old as the world itself, known throughout history. Dragons and humans do not have a good relationship on the long run, but every now and then, certain individuals bond...-The Bestiary of Animals, Chapter 3
WilliamBeekeeping was a simple enough life, all you really had to do was make sure the bees had a home and that you got some honey without being stung too much. While it did keep William fed, he didn't find it very entertaining. No, he found how the bees got the honey in the first place entertaining. He would follow the bees and see them go to the various plants and harvest. It was like farming actually.
As another day of work was done, William returned to his hut to rest. His sisters and mother would surely have cooked up something by now...As he entered the door, he heard the sounds of horses down the road. He looked towards them. Knights. William couldn't tell if it was the baron's or another's...

Kiev had seen better days, that was true. Still, life was better than in some backwater away from Kiev, that was even more true. Here Vladimir could focus on his art and make a fortune out of it. Right now Vladimir was working on another cathedral and it to properly show its beauty, it would need glass. A huge amount of glass. It would need to arrive fast, and be put together fast, which was one of the reasons Vladimir was working on-site. Oh it was cold yes, but at least he didn't have to deal with the glass breaking on the way...He could never trust those teamsters.
As work on the cathedral finished for the day, Valdimir started putting away his tools, and returning to his home. As he did however, he saw two men enter the cathedral. The cathedral was barely usable right now, and besides, no one had been given permission to enter. What reason could they have to enter?

The sea could be gentle and calm; or cruel and unruly. She could be generous and yet she could be greedy. Sometimes she murdered, other times she gave life. She was a strange woman, one who saw little difference between a human and a fish. But Albrecht loved her even so. He was a seaman, not some farmer or merchant; the sea was almost human compared to the earth. It had emotion. And today the sea was in a foul mood. The skies were dark and it rained heavily. the waves were huge and constant, and yet Albrecht had decided to fish today. A storm was terrible yes, but he needed something to sell today and no one had ever called McFinod a cautious man.
As he navigated the boat, lightning struck just a few metres aside him! That was close...MicFinod released his pole and waited. Suddenly, something bit. Something big.

Recently you've been busy trying to prove that the stars were the same thing as the sun, just smaller. Course you had little evidence for that...
Right now you were walking down the market district, looking at the wares. You see a many beast here: horses, dogs, pigs, little tailed creatures, and even a dragon.

Alchemy was a wondrous art, one could create great weapons and riches! Or at least thats what everyone's been trying to do. Oh the weaponry was easy enough, but gold was a hard, hard thing to make. Some alchemists had spent their whole lives trying to make gold, you on the other hand went the easy way of making weaponry. It was good money too; the Empire always needed their precious Fire to fight off the heathens, recently they've been requesting a lot more than usual. Well he wouldn't have blamed them, the Sarceans had been attacking more frequently and in greater number. the Turkish aerial forces were simply too much to bear...
