Icewatch Barracks

Image


When Icewatch members are not on patrol or standing guard they are usually in the Icewatch Barracks. The barracks are near the Ice place and were built by the Iceglaze Hold. This building is well insulated and is very comfortable. It has been renovated multiple times to fit more Icewatch but at the moment it is looking at the end of its growth. It started out quite small but gradually got large as Icewatch grew. This building contains the living quarters of the members, the training areas, the healing center for the Kelvics, and areas for Kelvic birthing.

Most of the people in the barracks are Kelvic or Vantha but there are some other races that live in the barracks. There are also rooms for on call workers like healers or breeders who routinely stay the night as they watch their charges. These rooms tend to be small and contain only a bed and chair. Occasionally foreign visitors are allowed to tour the barracks and learn about the Icewatch lifestyle.

The rooms for the members fit two comfortably, usually a bonded pair. Spouses are not allowed to live in the barracks unless they are also Icewatch members. The rooms are quite simple and contain two beds, two small closets, and whatever the individuals wants to have in the room. The rooms are not too fancy but the Icewatch do not mind. They are happy as long as their bondmate is happy. Of course, if one ever complained they would get what they needed. The barracks are simply a nice, simple place to live.

Living Expenses :
Only Icewatch members may live in the barracks. Living in the barracks incurs common living expenses.

Employment :
Positions Available
  • Veterinarian - must demonstrate competent skills in medicine and animal husbandry (6gm/day)
  • Icewatch Guard - joining Icewatch will require competent combat and wilderness survival skills as well as a three day initiation trial (5gm/day)

The cold wind lashed the two of them as they waded through the snow, blinding them and making them stumble. As they approached Shysk could see that the building wasn't as ugly as he had first supposed; it was broad and warmly coloured and seemed to have an air of hospitality. Ther also seemed to be a party going on in there, for Shysk could hear voices raised in song and could smell both the sweet scent of Vantha nad the musky strong scent of Kelvics. Shysk was gently guided into the building, the guard opening and closing the door behind him. He stood there blinking in the light, glad to be out of the cold and somewhere warm. The interior was well lit, open and hospitable; Vantha and Kelvics were all around, eating, singing, dancing and laughing, the symbols of ice glittering in the ruddy light of the candles and fires. At the sight of the guard a young vantha girl stood up and hailed him, crying out, "Coren! Coren, welcome, didn't expect--". She stopped midsentence, staring at Shysk. She was very pretty, her black green hair hanging down to her waist and framing her cherubic features. She dropped her gaze back to Coren and siad, "Who the hell's this?"
Coren replied, "I don't know; he isn't a Zith, he's a Mixblood... And his tongues been cut out. I'm taking him to the Officer of the Watch."
The girl stared at him then stepped aside, pity filling her eyes as she watched the Mixblood being escorted away towards a bare office, dominated by a huge desk and three chairs.
The Officer of the Watch was another woman, this time with red highlights to her hair and covered in scars, but her voice was warm and her eyes kind;
"Coren, welcome and welcome to you our guest," She said smiling, making her scars seem to vanish. Coren spoke to her quickly, informing her of Shysk's arrival, and his malady and she nodded once, birdlike. At a low growl to his right Shysk turned to see one of the Kelvics in bear from staring at him and nervously edged away. The Officer of the Watch smiled at him sympatheticaly and said "Don't worry; she won't bite." She motioned for him to sit at the desk and passed him a piece of parchment and a quill. He looked up at her and nodded and began to write;
'My name is Shysk; I'm a Mixblood; my father was a Zith and my mother a human. What else do you want to know?
"What are you doing here?"
'I am looking for a friend, a girl called Keliselle; her settlemnt was attacked and she was kidnapped to here.
The Officer nodded slowly and said, "Well..." and the doubt was etched upon her face as deep as glaciers and as clear as day.
Shysk glared up at her, biting down his anger and forcing himself not to break the quill as he wrote, 'I don't care how outlandish it seems; she IS here. I'm not here to make trouble. I want to find her, nothing more.
She sighed and nodded again, and she seemed much older and her scars more livid. "Well... Good luck and Morwen bless you Shysk."
'Thank you'
The guard led him out and Shysk stood still a while, the snow coating his fur and sending shivers dancing across his spine. He stood there until he could stand no more and began walking towards a nearby inn.
Silence is the Nightmare

The Nightmare is Real

But oft Hope is Born when All is Forlorn

And Hope is the Dream

The Dream that shall Never End

The Wind is her Lips

And the Snow Her Embrace

And We shall Never be Torn Asunder

Comment: Both Coren and Jedara (the woman in charge of Icewatch) need a moderator to play as them in posts. Jedara's appearance is much different than what you wrote (although I know it was because you were making the woman up on the spot). Also, Jedara's bear mount is a male and his name is Senari. You might want to do a post previous to this where your PC got taken to the Barracks. Talk to my AS Triniel and leave a post in her Office if you would like to do this thread. I like where it is going but you will need a moderator for this.

Sorry, about the mistake; this was my first attempt at a proper post and i misunderstood the pages purpose.

Again I'm very sorry and it won't happen again.
