Kapallas' cleaver struck the block seperating the head of the pig from its shoulders.  Leaving the blade stuck in the thick piece of wood, he grabbed the head and shoved it roughly into a burlap sack.  

&quot;Here you are Mistress&quot;, he said as tossed the sack onto the counter.  A middle aged woman in brown woolen dress threw a few silver pennies next to the sack, &quot;I hope this will be enough&quot;, she said.  &quot;It will be enough&quot;, Kapalla replied as he smiled, &quot;enjoy  ...</description>

			<description>Blinking as he stepped out from the shady spot next to one of the ramshackle houses strewn along the street, looking back and forth along the street and beginning a trek for a meal today. The afternoon sun was beginning to reach the horizon and night loomed behind it. Those in the town of Aringill were idly pacing around their homes, either finishing the days work or preparing for the evening. For most, it was to be a time of rest, to loosen the worrisome ties of the world and all of its unfortunately  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>sacrafist</dc:creator>
			<description>The man named Sacrafist Kilkerrion was born in a small village in the northern countryside of Saldea.  Leading a somewhat simple life, until he was a young man.  At the age of 16, strange things started happening to him and his family.  First, while in the deep depths of a vicious nightmare, the large oak tree exploded for what seemed like no reason.  Although it’s not uncommon for a tree to explode in Saldea, it was the middle of summer, and that in itself was a mystery.  The next unexplainable  ...</description>

			<description>Terron Togita swung his sword to meet the hissing blade of the fade, Easily the man flowed from form to form, the heron on his blade a mere blur as it repelled the eyeless strikes, never making a mistake as he struck the fade across its upper torso, allowing the lurks head to fall to the ground. The man turned to see Kcacee come into the square his sword raised to attack any other shadowspawn in his way. Kcacee seeing his father walked toward the man, noticing the fade still thrashing behind  ...</description>

Clack!  The sound of wood hitting knee echoed across the courtyard.  Panting, his dark sweat-matted hair held back only by two thin braids, the younger man stood wearily, using his practice blade for balance.



“Dar!  Light son!  It’s been about a year since I started teaching you and you are still trying that stuff.  That will get you killed in the bloody Blight!  The older and shorter of the two was not the less deadly man.  Lyn was a grizzled blademaster  ...</description>

			<description>Kellen Degaile hails from southern Arad Doman, his heritage shows clearly in his skin. His early life meant little to what he is now. He was just a young child, fresh away from his mothers watchful eyes, when he joined the guard.

	It was on a standard drill through the eastern fields when his life was changed. His regiment stumbled upon something they weren't wholely trained for, a half a fist of Trollocs. His fellow soldiers could only brace themselves for the carnage that ensued.

We also had another M'hael position that I believe worked very well.

There won't be a certain number of RPs required for Asha'man and everyone above that because I don't think that's needed but we will probably speak to you if you haven't been RPing in awhile. If an opening does open up We will choose from the Senior members of the Tower.
