The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
There times like today she wondering around taking in the scenery. To take in the nation that is Coheed, it was in a way different then Nevermere. They are a few similarity there but that might be due to Nevermere slow influence in Coheed. She walked over to where the ships landed when they arrived here and she remember about the day she left. Seeing her brothers and sisters standing on the beach as they waved her off. She promised them that she will be back soon and that she will make sure she will tell them as much as she can about Coheed. She just hope that her siblings are behaving especially Raj, knowing that he can be a pain in the ass when it come with training.
Walking by the sea she thought on a hot sunny day she really needed to cool down as she is not used to the heat from the rays of the sun so she walked into the water until about knee high feeling the cool water on her skin. It felt great upon her skin as she stood there for a moment she noticed a tall man swimming he most be a Coheedsman, as she thought that if it was one of the soldiers from Nevermere then she would noticed such a tall man on the ship, well aside from Tor. However, she doesn't recognized this one.
She realised that she was looking for a while as she looked away for a bit with a slight smile on her face. "I take it you enjoyed a cooling dip on a hot day sir?" Zarha asked.

Most days after taking a run or some training the large man enjoyed a nice nude dip in the sea to cool down. Today wasn't different but he hadn't noticed the small audience until he stood scooping handfuls of water over his head and while he heard her speak Kaalim was out far enough his naked lower half was hidden below the water, "I do miss," Kaalim replied with a kind smile for such a monstrous sized man, "This is the best time to avoid all the children and others, quiet time, but please just call me Kaalim..."

Even though Zarha was impressed by the size of this man and he clearly didn't have anything to hide his toned muscle, her eyes focused on his eyes. She looked around as she noticed how peaceful it was around here. "Quiet time is important Kaalim." Her warm smile on her face. She was slowly getting used to seeing the people of Coheeds. it is truly different than Nevermere but she cannot complain about it.
"Please call me Zarha." She wasn't on duty and even here her duty was to work alongside the people of Coheed. She feel the cool water crashing into her skin as she feels the heat from the sun.

"Zarha of Nevermere, please share in the quiet," he sank to his bottom, even sitting Kaalim stuck out from out of the water with no problem, "I will admit it probably don't have the allure of your black sanded beaches of your home but I love it. We didn't have the luxury of such a view back in my former village of Bantu so my appreciation is tied together for it...how are you finding Coheed?"

Giving a soft smile as she walked in deeper. "It still have it allure. The sun for one makes a nice change from the overcast we see every day." When he asked how she is finding Coheed. "Well apart from adjusting to the heat... Coheed has been welcoming. I have been enjoying learning about the culture here in Coheed, there is some charm to it." Thinking of her experience with @leander

"Wait until the Vers festival and games! If you want to dive deep into a growing and melding culture you will love the festival," Kaalim glorified with Zarha, "do you have festivals in your kingdom?"
Post by Zarha Sliva on Jul 17, 2023 8:09:33 GMT -5
"What is your festival about?" She asked she was true when she want to learn about their culture and she was willing to spend time learning about it and even sit with the people to learn about them. If she was to work alongside them then she have to have at least a basic understanding of their culture.
"Yeah we have the festival of the Two-goddess. Which is basically a festival of love, I normally would think the whole idea of having a festival based on love was stupid." But she doesn't now.

Scooping more water over his head Kaalim listened to the little woman speak a smile full of white teeth flashed over his face softening his features, "We have a festival of love too, Gjødselfest, every season of fall. My own creation so our festival doesn't revolve around God or Goddesses but don't think a festival of love silly young warrior," he chuckled and spread his arms out indicating to the back drop that was Cohed...Gilead...., "Gjødselfest saved our people, the fire heads almost decimated our entire people their leader Hiram wiped half of my family from this plane in a single day. I've lost wives and children, brothers, sisters, and a Father. Others have lost it all...love and love making," he said it with a flare of wit, "saved us all. Our population, though young, can thrive once again....I myself having sixteen healthy children as a result." Kaalim spoke proudly of this.

Listening to Kaalim as he explained about this festival called Gjødselfest to her. Zarha couldn't help but blush when he mentioned Love making was a part of this festival. It did take her a bit of surprise, but she wasn't totally shocked with how some of the men view of having sex out in the open, they feel really relaxed about it.
"I am sorry that Hiram destroyed things." Her voice was soft of course she had loads of questions but the only time she talked about it was with Leander and in Nevemere it wasn't something she would normally talk about. "16 children? Wow, big family. your wife, wife most be very happy. sorry in nevermere grown up with the concept of you marrying one person sort of thing."

"that is a funny concept to me you see, here the more wives one has represents more strength and power," for Kaalim it meant all of that but more, "My wives are strong, even the ones Hiram cheated to their early deaths, they all represent the strength of my character the ultimate goal of what I started many years ago. Women warriors, women leaders, and equal women."

Zarha smiled softly at Kaalim when he mentioned Women warriors. It is indeed a wonderful idea. She doesn't know what she would do with herself if she wasn't a soldier. She wouldn't be here, she wouldn't of mat the man that is Leander who brought a side of Zarha who she nearly forgot about. He brought out this rare but wild Zarha out.
"It is really is an amazing thing with the woman warrior. They are really an amazing bunch of people, a true testimony." There was a part of her that want to ask though. "How do you find time for all your wives, children and other commitment? Don't any of your wives get jealous? sorry for the questions i am just intrigued by your culture."

Kaalim pondered the questions sitting silently in he water, "I have always just managed to split my time between them all, it's a way of life going back hundreds of generations so you learn and you are taught these things...when I'm not training with the others or my children I am home, when I am home I am the husband and my time is devoted to them..to my children...it just happens..."

Zahra listened to the man speak about spending time with all his wife. "Wouldn't any of your wife jealous of each other? Tell me to stop it the question get to much. I am just truly interesting how our two nations differ." A part of Zarha thinks about @leander and his wife. She was a little bit jealous of her, she doesn't know if she would be able to share her with her.

"Jealous? Nay, well one in particular from time to time does but my wives are very open when you've lived a certain way for so long like we do jealousy is a trait of rich men," Kaalim explained, he didn't care to answer questions, "for example if my wives were to even see me here with you they care not," in fact all of his wives alive and dead had caught Kaalim with different unmarried women (and they weren't just talking; and he would not fuck a married woman that was dishonorable) and sometimes Ateppa brought women to bed to share with Kaalim.

Zarha let out a soft laugh when Kaalim mentioned if one of his wife saw them. Well they was just talking at the end of the day, plus she looked down for a moment and wondered if @leander wife knew about her and if she was jealous, because she knew she was slightly jealous of her. She was the woman Leander goes home to, she the mother of any children they have. Zarha was just the woman he have to hide they love in silence. Zahra was unaware that her checks were going red thinking about Leander.
"Well, I am fabulous, who wouldn't want to hang with me." Zarha laughed as she flipped her hair.
