Welcome to FailtSpire, the largest city in all of Caerwyn! Well... it's the
only city in Caerwyn, actually. FailtSpire has only been around for one generation, and has had two rulers, counting it's current one--who is Hamilton Farrell the Second, son of Hamilton Farrell the First, who was a knight that founded the city.
"Hamin," as his son is often called, is still very young. Hardly fourteen, he was thrust upon the throne after his father died of a dreadful illness. That same sickness took many lives that winter. Hamin hasn't had any trails during his first year as king, but his citizens are content and well fed. There isn't a war to start or fight in, due to there being unknown lands to the North and West. Vast oceans lie to the East and South.
Now,
you, dear traveler, are no doubt looking for the Trios' Guild! Either Mage, Rogue or Knight, ye are welcome to join up, and create a team to go Dungeon crawling! The darker areas of Caerwyn are still majorly undiscovered, as the Trios' Guild has only really been around for the past four years. Even the Mage's Academy has been around for longer!
Caves, temples, sprawling forests and mysterious fields, await those who are willing to travel across the land. Treasures that you couldn't even
dream of are no doubt lying in wait--mounds of gold and jewels, books upon books of forgotten knowledge, weapons of great power... but be warned. Great objects are always guarded by even
greater forces. Monsters, bandits,
who knows what lies in the shadows.
But, the rewards are worth the danger. Your knees may knock and your swordpaw may tremble, but I pray your heart and spirit will remain steadfast. Gods guide you, and good luck out there, traveler. The roads ahead are littered with danger and glory.

FailtSpire was everything Toril had heard about, and so much
more. The city was bustling with felines, be it they were at some stall to sell their wears or walking about the cobblestone roads--she'd never
seen so many cats in one place! Toril had thought that the Tavern on the way here was busy. HA! Compared to FailtSpire, it was silent as the plain. The little country cat was awestruck by the sights that the city offered, which was no surprise.
But ah, t'was the Mage's Academy inside the city's walls that caught her attention. It's what she originally traveled all this way for, so, naturally she was going to enroll... right?
"You'll loose your freedom."
Fell's words of warning came slithering up her back, and the calico actually shivered a bit. She was yards away from the Academy's main gates. Toril just had to.. step up and
open the gate.
"The Trio's Guild lets you run free--you'll feel the grass under your paws, and learn more then you ever could inside some stuffy room."
Oh, it was tempting... the tabby's stories of the Guild's exploits were so
tempting. All that hidden knowledge and treasure... Toril's paw hovered over the gate's handle. She looked up toward the sky, ears falling back slightly as she saw just how
tall the walls around the spire where. The Bobtail took a few wary steps back, nervousness suddenly gripping her heart like winter's cold hand. Those stone walls were
impossible to scale--and when a
cat says that, you know it is so, for felines are one of the best climbers--and impossible to dig under, for the cobblestone that covered the city's ground. Locked in a tower for Gods knew how long... never leaving and being forced to learn meaningless and mundane spells...
No.
Toril found herself at the Flask and Scroll Tavern within the next few minutes, filling out the minimal paperwork to join the
Trio's Guild. Adventure awaits, and Toril Alvar was not about to sit by and let all that lore and gold go to waste.
The white-gray-and-orange feline sits in a chair by the fire, quill in one paw, Crow upon her shoulder, and parchment in the other paw. It asked mostly basic questions. Name, Age, Class, Current belongings, Pets, such and so on. It took her roughly fifteen minutes to fill out the paper and hand it back to the barkeep--who was a burly she-cat of Siberian descent, and Toril honestly felt her cheeks and ears get rather warm when the feline
winked at her, and said something about it being
wonderful to have a Mage in the ranks. Apparently it'd been a while since they had a new one...
Sitting at one of the
Guild Reserved Tables, Toril was nursing a mug of warm milk--too young to drink anything behind the bar, nor was the Mage very interested in such beverages. Toril's companion bird, Corbin, was settled on the table near her right paw, happily pecking away at some sunflower seeds that Toril had brought for his dinner. Toril let her gaze wander around the lively tavern, ears perking as her feet dangled off her chair. The barkeep, said her name was Emery, had said something about joining a
party. Like a team of three other cats or so--as it was much too dangerous for fresher adventures to go wandering off into the Caerwyn Wilds on their own--to protect one another from the dangers that came with adventuring. Emery said the Party Members were chosen by her, so she would call or send for the cats who signed up around the same time as Toril had.
Now all Toril needed to do was wait for other cats...
