    i will die without you.
    Someday you'll be reading an old rag of a magazine; or drinking a cup of lukewarm coffee; or leisurely hailing a cab in the middle of the night after a long, dull party. Someday, you'll be living your life, and in a moment of total aloneness you'll feel it in the peripheral of your awareness: a presence like a heart palpitation or deja vu, a memory without substance. You'll look up from your magazine or coffee or iPhone, and you'll find that the world around you has darkened almost imperceptibly but for that feeling behind your heart or eyes, that feeling of something other.

    You will try to ignore it as one ignores headlights in the rear-view mirror on a dark, winding road. You will go on and live your life.

    And then one day, you will find yourself turning a corner, or opening a door, or spinning around in a moment of certainty. . .and you will no longer be where you were meant to be. You will be Somewhere Else. And you will not be alone.

    Welcome to the Labyrinth, a dark, ever-changing conglomerate of everything you've ever feared and all the things you never knew you would. You have your own room, a pet cat, and a new mother that wants nothing more than to love you in the only way she knows how.

    And how.

    Shields of Valour

    shields of valour

    The history of the house of Gornahm is a tale shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Many historians have tried, and failed, to piece together the truth and events that led to the demise of the former High King, the tension between the royal family, and the ultimate fall of the kingdom of Laeltian.

    A long time ago, many centuries in fact, the great countries of Iymsford and Valitshire were united under one banner: the unicorn banner of the House of Gornahm, a noble royal family with a legacy of compassion and kindness for their people. However, the suspicious death of High King Matthias in the year 1126 cast a shadow that stretched so far it led to civil war.

    For thirty long years, Iymsford and Valitshire waged the deadliest civil war known in history, with brothers fighting sisters, and mothers murdering sons. Only after decimating the population and impoverishing their countries did the royal family declare an uneasy truce, and draw a line down the middle of the nation, dividing it equally into two parts. Those who pledged allegiance to Matthias' younger brother, the handsome Prince Valit, formed a new court; after naming the new country for himself, the orders were made to begin the construction of a Great Wall. Those who pledged allegiance to High King Matthias crowned his eldest daughter, Iym, as Regina, and named their new nation Iymsford, after their lovely monarch.

    The dividing Wall, which was only completed at the very end of King Valit's long reign, stretches the border of Valitshire and Iymsford in totality. It is said that the workers who died during its construction were buried in its enormous stone walls.

    But that was many years ago. The tale of how the two kingdoms were once united is rarely acknowledged, as the two separate countries have developed their own cultures, histories, and laws, befitting the beliefs of the first rulers. As each new ruler remains loyal to their successors, the mistrust of their neighbor seems to linger, although much of the initial bitterness and hatred has subsided.

    Will the current monarchs be the ones to see beyond the errors of the past and begin a change for the future? Or will the unsightly barrier wedged between the lands continue to stand tall for years to come, impacting the lives of royals, nobles, and commoners alike.

    Pax Letale: a modern myth game
    old gods made new
    PAX LETALE:
    GODS REAWAKENED


    Something is stirring in Newport Beach, California.

    One of the most affluent and exclusive areas in Orange County, Newport Beach is a safe, comfortable space where the real world has a tendency not to to intrude on the pleasures of its citizens. It's a nice, normal, friendly, monochromatic city in a county that's known for the same. In fact, many people say that the majority of Orange County seems like a construct designed to keep the troubles of real life out, creating a plasticine paradise that nothing dark or dirty can penetrate.

    The residents of Pax Letale are slowing coming to know better.

    Pax Letale is an exclusive luxury apartment building right on the beach, with easy access to the 405 and all the charm that Newport Beach has to offer. Its residents comprise a surprisingly eclectic demographic for Orange County and Newport in particular, with people from all walks of life being drawn to this building for reasons they can't quite identify.

    The common thread that binds them, of course, is that they are each of them inhabited by a sleeping god.

    As they spend more time at Pax, their gods are awakening, though -- and strange things are happening. Natural (and supernatural) mishaps and disasters, disappearing tenants, and quite recently, the concierge was brutally murdered.

    There are whispers among some that the strange island in the bay, visible from the building, has something to do with all of this. Still others are compelled by the island; if it didn't sound crazy, they'd say it was calling to them.

    They aren't crazy.

    Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.
