The Ancestor Hall at Troy

A wealth of information presents itself to the wanderer in Troy, tales & symbols of the Jackal ancestors & their deeds sit upon the walls of a shrine before the ritual circle in Troy.

Portable Alchemy

The last of my sketches at the Spring Moot 1118AF. Time spent in the Alchemists Guilds proves to be challenging as always

The Gardens of Nara, Gathering 1117AF

Sketches and Scenes from the Gardens of Nara in Nihon. Our hosts for the Gathering of 1117AF were most accommodating.

The Approach to the Gardens of Nara

Sounds of water and the knocking of bamboo to enjoy in the quieter moments in the garden.

Adventures of Bear in Nihon

Sketches I did for Scarlett, she was going to miss her dad while he travelled to the Gathering in Nihon and he promised to bring her Bear and tell tales of his adventures on his return to cheer her up. Bear came with me for a visit to the Gardens of Nara and he went home safe with her dad the sketches.

The Sword of Ravus

During the Summer Moot I spent time chatting with Ravus in the Healers Guild. He described an old sword of his. Listening to his words I sketched the forms in my mind. Hopefully he will find his sword by the Spring Moot next year and I will see how accurate I have managed to interpret his words.

The Gryphons Summer Moot 1117AF

I feel I should apologise to the people of the Gryphon Faction, I had intentions of providing more sketches to capture their culture and scenery but unfortunately I was involved in the high magic trials. The trials took far more time than I expected and my time was limited to only a couple of sketches, one is the sword above the flames and the other of an urn by the ritual circle. In addition to these is the sketch of a sign hanging outside the Scouts Guild.

Botanical Drawings at the Healers Guild

Despite my young, slim and spritely appearance (ahem!) it is often the games of skill and intellect that interest me at the GEF. I was delighted to see Nephri had organised a botanical drawing competition at the Healers Guild and I couldn’t resist taking part. I was amazed at the standard of work my fellow artists had submitted and flattered that my work was appreciated when standing among such fine pieces.

The Spinning Wheel

My usual morning wanders took me to the Tesseract. All was quiet before the beginning of the games and my attention was taken by a spinning wheel standing in the corner of the viewing pit.

The Clock at the Tesseract

After finishing my sketch of the spinning wheel I strolled around to the other viewing pit to cast an eye over the arenas and combat pits. Standing between them was a clock hanging off a stone pillar.

An Invitation to the Herbalists Ball

A chance meeting with a friend had raised a request to visit the Alchemists Guild to sketch the herbalists ball. I always enjoy my time spent sitting amid the bottles, scrolls and specimens at the guild and needed no real persuasion to call in again. I hope I have managed to capture the essence of the skill he has shown in creating this ball of herbs.

Signpost to the Arenas

This year the Tesseract had an entrance adorned with many things to tease the mind. Unfortunately it was closed to me when I arrived early but I could at least sketch the warning signpost located outside.

The Alchemists Bottle Off.

One of the challenges set by the Alchemists at the GEF was the creation of a bottle to form a suitable vessel for a potion. I did not have the materials to take part in this competition but I could at least make a sketch of an entry I enjoyed.

A Crystal Delivered to the Mages Guild

I have noticed a few items arrive at the Mages guild during my hours of guild service there. This time a small wooden chest was delivered contains a crystal within a jar. While things were quieter at the guild desk I took the opportunity to sketch it into my book.

Fun and Games at the GEF

A familiar statue of a serene monk at the Tesseract had acquired a paper hat no doubt courtesy of an enthusiastic visitor. It raised both a smile and a sketch.
