Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

Meeting Old Friends [Tydus]

Day 1 of Spring in the Year 514 AV

Kel had to mull over Tydus’ words as they walked along the streets of Riverfall. Tydus, he trusted completely. They had a long history that extended back to their youth. Their pods used to be closely entwined with one another as they sailed up and down the Suvan Sea Canal. The two pods weren’t always together but they visited each other frequently enough to cause a strong bond to quickly bind the two unlikely Svefra children together.


Kel had always had a hard time making friends. He was blunt, rude, arrogant, foolhardy, stubborn and cocky. But he was also loyal, strong, fearless and dependable. Tydus was the only one who ever seemed to see through the long list of flaws in Kel’s character and into his heart. There was never any words spoken between them, they had just clicked. No one forced them together, it just sort of happened.


Tydus had intrigued Kel. The first time Kel saw him as a young boy, he saw something in the child’s eye. A glint. It spoke volumes about who he was as a person and even though Kel didn’t know what it was, he felt irresistibly drawn to him.


They both were outcasts of sorts among their own pods, each in their own way, so it was only natural for them to be drawn together. When the other young Svefra children attempted to make fun of them, they were quickly shut up when tempers flared and fists were thrown.


Their relationship grew as the years past. They found themselves in each other’s company more often than not, their antics growing more and more ridiculous. Their strengths and weaknesses complimented each other well and they learned how best to operate together. Kel was usually the brawn and Tydus the brains, both well suited to their task.


Kel shook the memories of the past out from his head. His thoughts shifted to more present issues. The other podmate. He vaguely remembered the name, Adney, but had never met the kid personally. He was reluctant to allow someone to live on his ship that he didn’t know but Adney had two things going for him. One, he was Svefra and two Tydus vouched for him. Kel trusted Tydus. He knew he was going to have to rely on Tydus’ judgment in this.


Kel looked up, finally zoning back in after having been lost in thought for so long. The silence hadn’t been awkward, they were both comfortable with one another and at ease. They stood in front of the Suvan Suites, warm lights flickering in the windows. The moon played hide and seek among the clouds, teasing them with light before plunging them into semi darkness.


Kel gestured towards the door, “After you. Lead the way to your podmate. Let’s meet Adney.”

Meeting Old Friends [Tydus]

Memories stirred in the Tempest Svefra's mind as he recalled the memories that him and Kel shared. There were many, spanning from their age as a pup to that of adolescence. He had often chosen to take Kel with him when the two Pods were moored at the same port, to teach him a bit of what it was to negotiate, but alas, it wasn't in his mindset to do so. Not that it mattered. Whenever other races would find the Svefra duo doing what they called stealing (how can it be stealing if it's just out there, waiting to be taken? Silly people.), it was Kel that actively defended them, a defense which often led to fists. Outcasted until Ty's utility as a negotiator came to prominence, but this was after the last time him and Kel had seen each other. It was unfortunate that the two pods split off for so long, but it seemed that Laviku, and destiny, had other plans for them.

As the pair entered the Suvan Suites, Tydus flashed a single wink at Tsarahas, the innkeeper, though the woman chose pointedly not to respond. The real story as to what happened to get Tydus evicted was different than he had told, though Tydus knew that it would cause more notoriety and be more interesting if he accounted tales of sharing a night with the lovely, beautiful Tsarahas rather than the daughter of a rather wealthy merchant. Or rather, both of them. It had been quite the situation, indeed, but it was irrelevant.

"Don' wanna ask for ma' room back. Jus' gonna go up to Adney n' talk to him. S'okay?" The woman arched her eyebrows, but relented, waving her hand at the two as the Svefra traversed the path towards Adney's room. How Tydus missed this place, it simply... breathed, luxury. But, the fuss had been too big to allow him to stay. Tydus understood it, given his own limited business acumen.

The Svefra finally reached Adney's door, banging on it impatiently, yelling out in Fratava, "Ad!" He knocked twice more, "AD! Get yer lazy arse out here! Unless ye' got a girl in there. Gotta remember the sash on the door rule, pup!"

A chuckle escaped Tydus' lips as he looked over to Kel, the chuckle soon fading to quiet snickers before he noted, "I think you'll like Ad, Kel. You and him can recount tales about how both of ye' snuck into Svefra heritage. With yer odd hair colours... Petch, I'm barely a Svefra and I'm a blonde."

Adney woke up from what was a beautiful nap. He looked around and was able to observe the beauty that the room had, but he also realized that the room was nothing but velvet. Velvet chairs, Velvet silk, Velvet everything. He got out of bed and landed on the carpet which was soft but also thick. Adney looked around and saw no sign of his pod mate Tydus."Petch Tydus has still not returned yet" .Adney was feeling really impatient and began to make his bed, while doing so there was banging on the door,"Ad!" This time there was only two knocks, "AD! Get yer lazy arse out here! Unless ye' got a girl in there. Gotta remember the sash on the door rule, pup!" Adney with annoyance on his face knew who that voice was. He slowly walked towards the door, "Yeah Yeah I'm coming and Tydus how many times have I told you not to call me..." As Adney opened the door he saw Tydus and another guy next to him . Adney looked at Tydus and then at the guy and then at Tydus again. "um..." Adney said scratching his hair. Adney looked at Tydus to say something but the man was just so distracting Adney just had to ask. "Who are you?" Adney knew it was rude to ask but he didn't like the fact there was someone he didn't know here with Tydus. Adney was a friendly person but ever since the tragedy with his and Tydus's pod and pod mates he begun to show caution of people and who to trust. This character that Tydus brought was somebody that Adney should be really careful with."Come on Adney get it together you can't jump to conclusion Tydus must of had a reason to bring this guy here."Adney came out of thought he smiled at the guy and raised his hand for a hand shake. "I apologize for what I did earlier. Hi the name is Adney and you are?"

Day 1 of Spring in the Year 514 AV

Kel followed Tydus through the doors into the main lobby of the Suites. He cast a critical eye around the room and grunted.


“How the petch do you guys live in a place like this? It’s so…sure footed. You can’t even fall asleep, how can you fall asleep without the lull of the ocean?”


Kel shook his head and continued down the hall. He stopped abruptly as Tydus came to a halt in front of one of the rooms. He looked over at Kel seriously.


“I think you’ll like Ad, Kel. You and him can recount tales about how both of ye’ snuck into Svefra heritage. With yer odd hair colours…Petch, I’m barely a Svefra and I’m a blonde.”


Kel scowled at Tydus good naturedly. “Hey, I can’t help it that my biological mother likes the odd chaps. But apparently she has good taste, because look at how awesome I turned out. We probably need to start breeding with more of the odd ones now that I think of it…”


He responded snidely. The door swung open and the Svefra that appeared, peered out, locking eyes with Tydus. His quickly looked over at Kel, surprise registering on his face. He seemed to study Kel for what seemed like an eternity. Kel resisted the urge to scowl at him for looking at him like that for Tydus’ sake and settled on rolling his eyes.


“Who are you?”


The clipped tone and abrupt manner caused a chuckle to burst from his lips and he looked over at Tyrus.


“Straight to the point. I might actually like this kid.”


The second Tempest brother seemed to catch himself and looked a little embarrassed. He offered Kel his hand and tried again. “I apologize for what I did earlier. Hi the name is Adney and you are?”


Kel took the outstretched hand and shook it. “Bahh never apologize. Why be ashamed of what you think? Not saying it is as good as a lie.” He smirked and bowed mockingly, arms extended, his trident pointing down the hall. Sarcasm dripped from his voice, “At any rate, it is a delight to meet you, Addy.”


Kel returned to his regular posture, “I’m from the Greytide pod. Kel Greytide. An old friend of Tydus.”


The cynical smile slid off of his face and he began serious for a moment. “Heard about your pod, sorry mate.” He was silent for a moment but shook it off a few ticks later, when he deemed the silence too uncomfortable. He pushed passed Adney without an invitation and stood in the middle of the room. His blue eyes took in all the velvet and look back towards the Tempest duo in disgust.


“This is outrageous. This is no place for my Svefra brother to live…oh wait…Ty got kicked out.” Kel threw back his head and roared with laughter. After a few moments he calmed down from his own hilarity. “But seriously, no Svefra should live apart from their lifeblood. This is just…demeaning.”


He jabbed the end of his trident into the wooden floor and cocked an eyebrow at the two. “What do you say, I have extra space on the Laviku’s Wrath. You guys in?”

Surefooted was right. In truth, the Svefra felt disgusted being on land for such a long period of time. The ground was rigid, and it never bounced and shifted beneath his feet. More than once, the security of solid ground had been its deception, tripping the Svefra with small stones and his posture had to compensate. He had gone from taking long, yet jumpy strides to taking shorter, slower steps. It was disturbing. The amount of space available was strange, as well. He was used to shuffling about, or changing from ship to ship. Though even that habit had lessened, as the pod took to using only one, larger ship for the time. There were plans of expanding the fleet again, but those ideas were moot now.

The Svefra shook his mind free of his thoughts, a melancholy manifested upon his features for a moment before he allowed it to fade. Instead, he grinned at his fellow Svefra, chuckling as he shared insight with him,

"Honestly, mate. For the first three three days, I'd alternate between sleeping in the bath tub and the bed. It's terrible being on land, mate. We'll move our stuff in right away, right, Ad? This place is nice, but it's... terrible at the same time."

Oh how the Svefra missed the sea! He hated the feeling of being moored, stranded, unable to explore. Of course, the Svefra also knew that there was no Lia in their little group to guide them. The matter needed to be settled, but for the moment, Tydus said nothing. Instead, he looked to Adney,

"We should go with him, Ad. We're not meant to be alone like this. It's nightmarish. Confined. Solid... You miss the sea, right brother?"

Thirty and three days has passed since the two Tempest Svefra washed up upon the shores of Riverfall, and it was the longest, driest, most miserable moment of his life. Thirty-three days off of the The Waverunner's Fist. Thirty-three days since he had been out to sea. And thirty and three days since Tydus had been happy. Drink and women were temporarily solutions, but in his heart, the Svefra wasn't happy unless he was part of an on-the-sea unit. He missed it so petching much.

"Let's get the bloody petch out of here... We need to, at the very least, start planning our adventures together. I can't stand living this way anymore, Ad. I can't imagine how it feels for you. You were always the better sailor."

Even before the other Tempest Svefra answered, Tydus began whirling thoughts, plans, ideas through his mind, his brain abuzz with the possibilities of what could occur. What they could do. What had to be done.

Laviku... guide us in this endeavor. Two of your children seek to re-enter your embrace. Thank you... for sending Kel to us.

When Kel offered Adney and Tydus for them to stay at his ship, Adney was in shock. While Tydus and Kel were talking Adney was in deep thought. "I can't believe this I can come home" To Adney the sea was always home to him and never liked being on land, it made him feel confined. Adney came out of thought to hear what Kel and Ty were talking about. "Honestly, mate. For the first three days, I'd alternate between sleeping in the bath tub and the bed. It's terrible being on land, mate. We'll move our stuff in right away, right, Ad? This place is nice, but it's... terrible at the same time." Adney nodded in agreement. "We should go with him, Ad. We're not meant to be alone like this. It's nightmarish. Confined. Solid... You miss the sea, right brother?" Adney nodded again "of course I miss the sea brother I rather be there then be cooped up in this place."

Adney missed the sea, he missed the adventures and he also missed his pod and pod mates. For three days of being on land Adney felt like he was going crazy without the sea. "Let's get the bloody petch out of here... We need to, at the very least, start planning our adventures together. I can't stand living this way anymore, Ad. I can't imagine how it feels for you. You were always the better sailor." The thought of that made Adney feel more confident and began to show out his chest. " I was always the better sailor wasn't I?...... Alright then Tydus and Kel let's go, what do we got to lose,we are going home!" Adney ran through the room packing all of his and Tydus's stuff, he packed their clothes and equipment. He ran toward the door with excitement holding all of their things, as he got there he looked at them both with happiness. " What are you guys standing there for? let's go!"
