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.

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!

His first solo occupation of the Drunken Dyr had arrived following the information his bird had brought him of a sighting of a strange creature departing from his lands. So he needed the escape to think and thos escape was here, away from his needy demented family. He had been here for hours already drinking, thinking, and playing music. Ish sat behind the piano playing a lighter melody than before but he wasn't alone, no his horde of rats were with him and they played freely here while some sat on the piano listening to his playing. While most of his family would have been angry with the revelation of a possible intruder Ishmael was the calm level headed one and the gears of his mind was turning.
The music stopped, "Ona...," he called softly for the bar owner, Gus his most loyal rat sat on his shoulder in a tiny jacket, rose to sniff the air around them, "Ona," he called again.

Ona had let Ishmael into the tavern before disappearing more to the back, to the 'kitchen' area which was divided from the main room by a wall and door. She wasn't sure whether Ishmael wanted to be alone with his animals or not, but she hadn't been eager to find out either. She had told him she'd be nearby in case he needed her. They hadn't gone over any specifics, like if he could get drinks himself or if he would ask her to get them, but she figured it would become clear on its own. After Tribute and what had happened to Weylin and Demelza, Ona had realised that Ish wasn't as innocent and harmless and she had led herself to believe. She didn't want to annoy him with too many questions because she didn't want to feel an Eldouirs wrath released upon her.
When she heard her name being called, she looked up. She had been staring at the table she was sitting at, lost in thought, but now duty called. The woman got up and held the door open so Obri could follow. She walked over to the piano and leaned against it while looking at Ishmael.

Ishmael poked at a few keys as Ona entered and addressed him whispering something to his rats that made them scurry away, and before Ishmael replied to his summoning it was just him, Gus, and the Dresmondi.
Bright green acidic eyes turned up to meet hers, they were glazed over from a light buzz from the alcohol, "Let's say you had a coop full of chickens, a few chickens eventually start to look stressed out and they stop giving eggs," he hits a heavy deep keep, "Do you blame the frantic hens or do you figure out the source of their scare?"

A riddle. Or a hypothetical situation in which your answers mattered. Great. She hated those, because she wouldn't know what she was agreeing with or saying until the situation was materialised afterwards in a non-hypothetical situation.
"I would figure out the source of their scare." In a way, the example was applicable to her duty of keeping her girls safe. If something bothered them, she would find out what, and not replace her girls.

"Precisely, very good," Ishmael stood and grabbed his mug, "drink," it wasn't an ask and he wasn't letting her pour, Ish did it himself as he continued getting to the point of his situation, "I have intel that a very odd creature was spotted leaving within our walls and that's very alarming...you wouldn't happen to have seen anything odd? People out of place?"

At least she got that right. She watched as the tall man went to pour himself another drink, still leaning against the piano. "A creature?" she repeated, posed as a question, her brow furrowed. She genuinely didn't know about that, because Regan hadn't shown herself to her in that form. "Like, an animal or a dyr-shape people are unfamiliar with?" Most dyr were accounted for because it had been a while since new dyr had spawned in the cave of names, so it would be surprising to see a dyr leave the territory.
"I can't say that I've seen anything out of the ordinary, no."

Ishmael made a simple 'hmm' as he played with the rim of his whiskey cup staring off in thought, he was already formulating a new plans and ones he was not going to share...yet.
However he downed the whiskey is a single shot, "It were no animal nor one your peoples dyrs, it was a horrifying creature by description and no Eldouir has a Gift to do as so. I'm concerned there are enemies amongst us," those green eyes stared out across the Drunken Dyr, "I am beefing up the Dresmondi soldiers patrols."

She frowned. She had met Regan, but it hadn't been in her wolf-ish form, so she genuinely didn't know who Ishmael was talking about. She suspected it was something that would help the people of Dresmond, but wouldn't share this suspicion with the red man.
"Understandably so", she said. "Maybe Lorendale has gathered other Gifted to check out Dresmond. I've heard they tend to do things like that. My mother used to tell me a a story that she heard from a Coheedsman, when they invaded Dresmond. He had seen it when they invaded Lorendale. Gifteds that turned into animals, and Lorendale used them to spy on their enemies. Maybe that's what they're doing now." A made up story, but a believable one.
She wanted to redirect his attention from Nevermere to Lorendale. "I mean, if I was Lorendale's queen, I would also be scared of your family. You're obviously far more capable than she is."
