Well, obviously. I already knew that, I know there was a DL once that was a Civie. What I meant was, a current civie on the staff, to supervise the weapons training/ rank of the civies.

I actually asked about this when i first came, but I want there to be some sort of weapon score. These ladies are surrounded by weapons, and have absolutely no ability to protect themselves "should battle come" to the BT and they have to sneak out, or something. Weapons training would also let us be able to RP with people we wouldnt usually RP with.

Also, I was thinking maybe jobs would be cool, if they were available, like for the inn and being a waitress or something. You could get a rank higher, or something.

Even better... ever thought of having a civilian on staff? My vote goes to Katekins over there!

Hey there! Well, we are all very glad you read the fabulous Robert Jordan, and you are very welcome to Dragonmount. As you will soon learn, there is a staff for each little group, and until recently, Celes/Lyv was the Division Leader. Now, it is Silhouette. Like Ata said, we also have an offsite board which is much more likely to be checked. Just make a 'Howdy' post there, and people will flock to you. So, welcome to DragonMount and Gaidin!

*pats big brother stan* good job, mr skinny! ;)

and its a big ole family, gotta be a chat member to be in it

hey katykins! how is my favorite daughter in law today?

well i can tell you from personal experience... i was told at first that my reason for being at the BT wasnt good enough and i had to edit it a few times

aye, well, the thing is, you have to find someone that has siblings from the past. Covai had a blank spot that allowed unknown cousins. Plus, I have known Covai for a while. Why dont you wait around to meet someone else that has a BTer and a spot for a cousin or sibling. make sure you two are friends, cause yall would be RPing alot. and never forget the possibility of making a soldier or whatever they are called

i can tell you, you gotta have a very good reason to end up there, we had to change my bio in order to get it accepted so little Adawyn could stop by for a bit of a stay

Danian, once again, was being an idiot. And this time, she had realised the ultimate revenge. She shouldnt punish him. He was strong enough to resist against her and anything she could put him through, but it was his brother that was the soft point. Anything that happened to him, Danian tried to stop and end. She remembered the fight... Danian was fine until his brother was hurt. She had defeated him easily because of that. And that was what she would do. But she didnt really hate Dorian. Well, yes, she thought him a spoiled brat, but she also pitied him. It was Danian she hated... no, she loated him. Dorian she just really couldnt care. Ah, well, it was his own fault that Danian was his brother.

So here she was, five in the morning, watching the two boys sleep. Quietly, she stepped over to the Dorian and put her hand over his mouth. He sat up all startled, and she whispered into his ear, “Wake your brother, and you will regret you ever came here. Hurry up. Get some clothes on. You have to do something.†He nodded and jumped up, and she signed a piece of paper on the desk and then handed it to him as he finished. “Ok, go up to the library, and get any books that you see are on battles of the past.†He seemed in shock, and she pushed him to the door. “Don’t question me, just do it, and take it to the green ajah. Now!â€

He scampered out of the room, and she walked back to Danian’s bed. Throwing water onto him, he sputtered awake. “Your brother is at the library, LOOKING for something. Mess with him, and I hurt you.†Danian glared at her for a moment, and she walked to the door. “Go back to bed, runt, and don’t get up till your brother returns. You get the morning off until he is done with his punishment.â€

Looking up at the tower, Elizabeth shivered in her overly sized dress and thin cloak. Both were hardly more than rags, but they were what had been provided to her since... that night. Her whole body still ached, and her face was often hidden by her hair, which was matted with mud and blood. The Aes Sedai had kept trying to tell her to clean up, but Elizabeth was far too weak to take time to wash. The mud on her body almost helped to keep her warm in the winter chill of the north. And anytime that the women tried to touch her to clean or Heal her wounds, Elizabeth screamed and told them to not touch her. After just Healing the wounds so they wouldnt bleed, Elizabeth told them to not touch her, that she didnt want to be looked at or touched by anyone. She was tired of that. She just wanted to hide.

Her nights were still filled with her fears, and after the weeks of travel to Tar Valon, she was begining to wonder if she would ever get there. Anytime she would ask how much further, she was simply told that patience was a virtue, and she had better learn it. Well, Elizabeth had been waiting her whole life for something to go her way, and now that it was danging before her, she knew she would hurt anyone that dare to lie to her at this fragile state. She was ready to just start learning whatever it was these ladies wanted and get out. Honestly, it wasnt even like she was as strong as they were making her out to be. She would much prefer to be looking for her siblings than out here on a wild goose chase for her power. Well, it was better than Edwyn...

Shivering, she pulled the cloak tighter around her, and rode her horse forward. Perhaps she would get some better clothing, and a nice warm bath. Maybe even some food. The Aes Sedai were rude and gave her only a few pieces at a time, but kept telling her that too much would hurt her. Hurt her! After all that she had been through, and not eating for what seemed like weeks, the Aes Sedai actually thogut that food would hurt her. And she had to be “Healedâ€. She didnt see why. The wounds were scabbing over now, and she wasnt bleeding. She would be fine. The hocus pocus medicine the one woman had done on her was enough, no reason to be “Healedâ€. After all, never fix something that isnt broken.

She was led into the tower halls, and she saw girls in white dresses running around. Everyone seemed to look at her, and Elizabeth tried to hide in her cloak. The hood was up, and her hair was down around the scar, and her arms hidden under the cloak with her rags to barely fit her, but every moment she looked up, her bright blue eyes startled someone. And why wouldnt she surprise someone. She was hardly pretty, and almost scary. Long dark hair and bright eyes, hardly any color in her skin and skinny as could be... she felt like the ghost she appeared as. Perhaps that would change.

Going up a stairway, Elizabeth was trying to take everything in and not fall over. She was still so cold, even though inside was warm. But she had been on the road for days with barely any clcothes, so she was still frozen to the bone. She didnt even notice when the women with her knocked on some big door. They took one last look at her, then walked down the hallway, leaving her there. What in the light? The door opened behind her, and she turned to look, dropping in a curtsy. “Elizabeth Ferido, ma’am.†Looking up, the hair around her scar fell back as did the hood, and her horrifying face was bared to the woman before her as the bright blue eyes full of wonder met the mature ones.

Elizabeth

Scared Little Chica

Deneira opened up the library doors and looked inside, hoping to not see Danian. Good, she couldnt. That meant either one, she could go beat him for disobeying orders, or two, go spy on him without him knowing she was even in the tower. She asked a sister where the crippled was, and was soon pointed in the right direction. Walking in between a few shelves, Deneira spotted the young writer, hard at work on her paper. She smiled to herself as he struggled with his hand, having to use the left one to steady the right. Well, if she had thought about it better, she should have asked Dorian to write the paper, and Danian to watch. Oh, that would have been slow, cruel torture to watch the blind boy write while the crippled watches on, unable to help. Light, well, Danian was already writing, and she hoped he was learning his lesson. After a few minutes, she walked up and snatched the paper from him as he was taking a glance over his look.

â€HEY!†he yelled, turning until he saw who it is. Smacking him beside the head, she pushed him back down in the chair and grabbed the one beside him. “Quiet, you fool. You are in a library, and if you get thrown out, I’ll give you a workout you never forget, you hear me boy?†He nodded, and she took a look at his work. Of course, she had no idea what it said, but of course, she had to pretend she did. Nodding her head and twirling the hair on the back of her neck around her fingers, she handed it back to the boy and said, “well, i guess its ok so far, but I want it finished in time, or you write another two pages!†He simply nodded, and she rose from her chair. Pity, though, that she had been “reading it upside down.â€

Even more of a pity, as Deneira walked out the door, she ran into a familiar face... Sirayn Sedai. Bowing to the woman as she paused to look at Deneira, she whispered, “Good morning, Aes Sedai. How are you today?†The woman merely stared at her for a moment, then walked on into the library, and Deneira glared after her. Light, she hated that woman. It was because of her that she had had to admit, aloud, that she could not read. Only she, Ginae, and Shawn knew that fact. Light blasted woman. It was yet another pity that the “light blasted woman†was heading straight to Danian...

woo! ill get writing as soon as i get back from vacation...

Hello All!

I have some great news for you. We are putting together a carnival in Tar Valon. The following divisions are participating: Freelanders, White Tower, Gaidin, Children of the Light, Shayol Ghul, Band of the Red Hand, Seanchan, and Black Tower. Any other divisions that you might like to use have either denied their participation or have not expressed any interest with this event. The FL, WT, Gaidin, and Band are making their presence known. However, CoL, SG, Seanchan and BT will all be undercover in this event.

The Carnival will be one week in the RP world, which is ten days. These ten days will have an opening ceremony on the first day, and a closing ceremony on the last day. Both will be done by the Amyrlin Seat and the Master at Arms. The other eight days will be sponsored around a certain event, which we are leaving up to all of ya’ll. There could be gleeman stories, a show of weaponry and skill, a market place, or anything that you and a group of people want to put together. This is what you do. Come up with an idea, go to your staff for that division, and present them with the idea. They will either approve or say no, and if they approve, then you send it to us. We will then say whether or not there is already something like it, help you form the idea, or beg you to do this. This whole group of threads could be awesome, but it all depends on your participation.

Considering that it is the summer months, we understand that everyone is on LoA. We will begin looking for group participation now and continue until the end of September. I know this is a long time, but during this time, we want ideas on different events and to give everyone a chance to sign up. From there, we will give more details on when exactly the Carnival will begin and what will be going on. In order to put yourself on the list of appearance, please send an email to warders.rp@gmail.com. If you have an idea that is approved by your staff, then also send it to that account.

Ah, just another day, perfect for riding. As was every day. It was her time to get away from everyone and hide out in the woods, just relaxing as the air ran around her and she could let her hair loose. Going into the stables, Cuebiyar was already saddled, as usual, and she jumped upon her horse, ready to ride. Something smelled funny, and she wrinkled her nose. Some horse seemed to be living in it’s waist. Poor beast... no animal deserved that. Ah, well, she would never let her Cuebiyar be covered in sh-

“Hey, watch it!†yelled a man as she rode past him. Light, it was Daemon again. She knew he was a grandmaster and all, but the man deserved a smack. He was always so rude to her, and she couldnt stand him. Just the other day, he had messed with her horse, trying to get him out of the stall. So, of course, she told him off. It was her horse, she had bought him, and loved him, so this man had better stay away. Of course, he deserved it. He had better back off if he didnt want something to happen to him.

After a nice long ride, she was ready to get a bath. Light, did she smell funny? No, it was probably just the sweat of the day, nothing else. Leaving Cuebiyar in the hands of the stable hands, she left the stable, ready to go back to her rooms. A few turned to look at her, and they were grinning. She heard laughing, and turned around. What were they laughing at? What was going on? She heard someone else fall over laughing. Light, was the entire yard laughing? Even Ginae started laughing when she saw it. And there was Daemon. Light, what did he do to her.

She rested her hands on her hips and felt something on the back of her pants. Looking at her hands, she gasped. Horse sh- “LIGHT!†she yelled, and ran off to her rooms, ready to get this mess cleaned up and hide away. This was that stupid man’s fault. Well, if he wanted to play games with her, then she would play right back. How dare that man! First, he tried to take her heart from the stall, then he puts horse crap on the saddle. This was not going to be good. Green slime was attacking him next.

**The Next Day**

Oh, this would be good. Daemon was going down. Grandmaster or not, he deserved what was coming to him. She had quite possibly the biggest bucket in the warders yard filled with green slime, made of horse crap, oats, and water. It was all mashed up, and she was ready to attack him with it. He was coming from his barracks, and she snuck inside while he was gone. Going to the door, she set up the bucked over the door, the string to pull it resting inside. She shut the door and locked it, sitting in his room with a chair under the doorknob.

Plan was, he would come to the door and try to open it. He would be unable to open it, and she would pull the string and let the bucket fall onto him. Then, when he tried to get into his room, he would be unable to, and have to go out in the yard inorder to either climb in his window or go to the infirmary.

She waited, and finally heard him outside the door, cursing. Pulling the string, she grinned as she heard the foul substance splash over him. He kept fighting the door, and she waited until she heard him leave to open the door. Sneaking out behind him, she grinned as he was running across the yard to light knows what. Everyone was laughing, and once again, people looked around for the culprit. There, that would teach him to mess with her.

Rodrik watched his target carefully. She walked down the path in the middle of the Yards, and passed by him, where it seemed he was practicing his Forms. But in reality, he was laying out a plan for the Tower Guard. “It’ll teach her to give me useless chores. I didn’t plan to hit her with the stick, she just got in my way!†He spoke quietly to himself, reassuring his soul that it was a just thing that he was about to do.

He had been spying on Dene for three days now, watching almost everything she did. All in hopes of finding a way to prank her. To embarrass her in front of the MoT and maybe even the Master of Arms. He’d studied her for three days, and for three days straight, she had done the exact same thing. A visit to the stables, and an hour or two riding her horse.

He put his blade down and sheathed it quickly. He put his shirt back on, and headed to the stables. A thought had just popped into his head. This idea, he believed, had the potential to become very interesting. He moved quickly and walked down the path in the center of the Yards. Luckily, Dene wasn’t going to go riding at the moment, and he had time to conceive his plan.

He reached the stables, and pushed open the door. The combined smells of horse, manure, and hay were enough to remind him of his home. Just like the old days, when he was working with the horses, and feeding them and cleaning up after them. That was where his idea had come from. He walked to Thunder’s stall, and entered, giving the stallion an oat bag. He gathered the materials he would need for his prank. A bucket, a shovel, and the key to the compartment holding the saddles. And the final ingredient, he would have to wait on Thunder for. He guessed it would take the horse half an hour to an hour for the oats to digest. Then he would have his prank.

In the meantime, though, while he was waiting, he would get the saddle. He walked to the saddle closet and unlocked the door. He opened it, and went through the saddles until he found the one he wanted. Dene’s saddle. He grabbed it, and looked carefully to see if anybody was watching. He moved quickly to Dene’s horse’s stall and entered quietly. He fed the beast some oats as well, to calm it down. He then proceeded to saddle her mount. He already knew what would happen. She would come in and see her horse saddled. She would assume that one of the attendants had done it for her. And then she would mount up and sit on the saddle, which would be covered by plenty of horse manure. Speaking of which, he had better get back to Thunder.

He moved back to his own horse’s stall and saw that the oats had passed through its system a lot quicker then he would have thought it did. But it didn’t matter. He picked up the shovel and began the clean up, making sure that he didn’t miss a single piece of the green, foul-smelling substance. Every single piece of the crap went into the bucket, and he headed back to Dene’s stall. He brought the shovel with him, and he began smearing the crap all over her saddle, making sure not a single area was uncovered. He cleaned up any evidence that he had ever been there (not the poo of course) and left the stall. He locked up the stall, like he had found it, and headed towards his own stall. Passing by an attendant’s supply closet, he dropped off the bucket and the shovel. The he exited the stable. Now it was time to wait.

*Later that day*

Rodrik was practicing his forms when he saw Dene walk into the stable. Now it was time for the prank to begin. She rode out and, Rodrik breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the poo-smeared saddle she was riding on. She would be back in about an hour or so, and after she had dismounted and walked through the Yards, then the humiliation would begin. He laughed quietly, hoping that no one would notice before she rode away.

*One Hour Later*

The Yards had begun to become crowded. Everybody was out training. There were spars, there was running, and their was mentors mentoring their mentees. And then there was Dene walking though the Yards. The moment he had been waiting for three days was about to come to fruition.

He noticed the smears over her breeches the moment she walked out of the stables, and waited for others to do the same. The laughter started slowly, beginning with chuckles in small groups. Then it rose to dull laughter as more and more groups began to see, and finally, it became a full out belly rumbler. There were people rolling on the ground they were laughing so hard. Others had tears in their eyes. Rodrik himself, could barely contain himself from crying with laughter. Dene was spinning round and round, trying to figure out what was happening. And it got even better. The MoT and the Master of Arms stepped out from his office and they caught sight of the crapped on pants. They simultaneously joined in the laughter.

Dene soon figured that she was the source of the laughter. She began looking herself over, trying to find what was so funny. She brushed her hands over her bottom, and the crap came with it. A look of horror came over her face, as she realized what was happening. She ran to the barracks, trying to hide away from the rest of the Yards. This caused even more merriment and the laughter began anew. But it soon wound down, and everyone turned back to what they were doing. But some didn’t stay. Some headed to the barracks with concerned looks on their faces, and others were headed to town, with looks of amusement. Rodrik was extremely pleased with himself. But a nagging thought entered his head as moved towards town. What if she found him out? But he quickly dismissed it. He had cleared away any evidence of his being there, and now it was time to celebrate. The beers were going to taste extra fine tonight.

A writing assignment? Deneira didn’t know much of history, but she was pretty certain that no Tower Guard in the history of Tar Valon had ever gotten a writing assignment from the Mistress of Trainees. And why was it writing? Couldn’t she just answer a few questions, or do an errand or something? Anything other than writing a paper... and about respecting an authority, well, this had to be the biggest barrel of fish guts this side of the Caralain grass. She knew full right that Ginae was just trying to make her submit to the will of someone that was down right a stick in the mud. She would like to see the woman deal with insubordinate runts like this in Saldaea. She would treat them the same way Deneira had treated Danian. And why in the light did Corin have to go tell her what happened? This was between a student and his teacher. The boy deserved every mark he had and more. Well, she had better get this over with...

But, on her way to her rooms to beg Shawn to write for her, an idea came. Make the boy do it! Why not? He was a lord, or something like, so he should be able to write. She would just tell the young fool that Ginae had told her she was doing a good job, and to make him do some assignment, and the assignment was writing an essay about respecting authority. No one would ever be the wiser, no one would know she couldnt read, and Ginae would get her bloody essay. Light, she could even punish the boy in the process. This would be too good.

Going into the Trainee Barracks, she stormed into his room where, before first light, the twins were still asleep. Going to the wash bucket, she picked it up and tossed it on his sleeping form. “Get up, brat. You have an assignment, and the Mistress of Trainees agrees with it.†He sputtered as he sat up, coughing up the cold water, and she heard Dorian waking behind her. Grabbing his arm, she pulled him out of the bed, and he fell to the ground in front of her, wearing only his small clothes. The scars on his mangled body made her wince, and then she continued on. “Come on. Because of your display of rude behavior to your teacher, you have a writing assignment, and only until midmorning bell to complete it. I hope you are ready to write.†The cruel smile she sent down at him had him glaring back, and she went to his desk.

Picking up three sheets of paper, an ink well, and a quill, she tossed it on his bed as he stood up. Going to his trunk, she opened it, pulled out a pair of pants, shirt, and boots, she tossed them at him. He caught them, and she slammed the lid down on the trunk. “Come on, boy, don’t make me be your mother. I want an essay on respecting authority with two examples of insubordination in history that caused a problem with the battle. Up to the tower with you boy.†She went to the desk again, tore off a small piece of paper, and scrawled her sign on it, just a DS. It was all she knew to write. Handing it to him, she turned away, walking out. “That is your pass. Speak to no one. Now, HURRY!†Life was good when you had power...

Everything was so new and amazing. As soon as Covai and Adawyn had gotten out of town, Covai had stopped and told her to wait. Wait? Why? The way he had been talking of the tower, the ride would be long and hard, not something to just wait around. However, before she could even process her thoughts into words, he opened up a hole in the air. What in the light? Covai led his horse to it, and checked on her. What was going on here? She had expected weird, but this was… unreal. He went through and she followed him in, ducking from being split apart on the gateway. She didn’t want to die.

They were led to the stables, and she looked around at everything to see. Light, there was a lot to see. And it was about noon, judging from the sun at the time. It was all wet and almost night back in Caemlyn, yet here, it was sunny. She didn’t even want to know where they were exactly… she was certain her brain couldn’t handle anymore shock. This was just too… different to her usual ways.

They entered the stables and were immediately surrounded by stable hands. She smiled at them all, fluttering her eyelashes from behind her hood. Wearing tan pants, a white blouse, black boots and her black cloak, she could have been mistaken for a man except for her shapely legs, the curves under her blouse, and the face hidden behind the raised hood. She let them see her long hair which was only pulled back in a ribbon and tossed over her shoulder, and they all seemed to flock to her.

Covai was ahead and told her to dismount, and she smiled at the stablehands. A few went back to work, but the brave ones stayed where they were, one holding the reins, another trying to help her down. She shooed away the helping hands and then led her own horse to the stall beside Covai’s. Light, couldn’t they just go away? One of the boys tried to take her bags, and she grabbed them from him. How dare he touch her stuff! She glared at the rest, and they all backed off. Light, what was she? A porcelin doll? These boys had better learn, she was a Seriba, she wasn’t to be messed with.

Covai was grinning at her, and she glared at him. How dare he grin at her problems? Men… She finally let one of them take her bags, and a few others, all grinning at her, take care of her horse. Standing against a banister, she crossed her arms over her chest and silently pouted as Covai took care of his horse. He finally finished and led her to a large building. She still had her hood up, and was glaring at any man that took a second glance at her. This had to be a joke.

He led her into what seemed like an inn and up to a room. He opened it and let her in first. She glanced around the room, and smiled to herself. It was cute. Now, she had two options. Rest or tour… well, she wanted her own room, but she did need to see around. And then, her stomach rumbled. They hadn’t really eaten before they left Caemlyn, and that had been hours before. Ok, yes, it was time to eat.

Turning to him, she smiled. “I think it is time to eat. And I do need my own room and all. How about we take care of those two details, and then you show me around, hmm?†He nodded, and there was a knock at the door. He went to it, and a man with her bags was there. “Thank you!†she cursed at him as she took her bags from the man. Covai stepped back as she glared at the man that had so rudely taken her bags earlier and was now returning them. “Keep your hands off my things!†she said to the surprised man, then slammed the door in his face.

Dropping the bags to the ground, she walked up to Covai, who was grinning, and pushed him on the chest. “Do you think that funny? Your little cousin has to deal with men that want to do things for her, and you grin? The young woman that is being treated like a doll is your blood, and you laugh? Covai Seriba, tell these men to treat me like a person right now!†There was another knock on the door, and Adawyn went to it, opening, demanding, “WHAT NOW?â€

It was a serving girl at the door, and she looked startled. â€I brought lunch,†she meekly said, and Adawyn sighed, pointing at the desk. Once the girl was gone, Covai fell over laughing. Going to the tray, Adawyn took one of the goblets of wine and took a deep drink. “I give up on you…†she cursed under her breath. “Fine, eat, get me a room, and lets see this place!†she said to him.
