The Druids Axe.

Over the last year I have got to know Abrozar of the healers guild and Gryphons well. He was telling me of his druid ways and the care he gives to the trees. He also took time to describe a favourite flint axe for his work. After listening to his words I sketched the image, I hope my guess work is right and I can compare it to the real thing when we next meet (some OOC notes on this sketch).

The Watching Owl.

Some animals seem to hold an affinity for mages and mystics. The Owl is one I seem to find reassuring. Stillness and receptiveness has value when you seek to become part of the surroundings. Above the library chamber an owl took roost above the shelves, I wondered how many noticed as the passed beneath.

The Chained Book.

Anyone who spends a little time around magical texts knows not all books are safe. Within the library chamber of Camelot a book lay chained to a desk, behind it concoctions bubbled and a mortar and pestle stood ready.

Xatobi Holds an Audience.

It was hard not to notice the arrival of daemons within the Powers Guild area. Over the course of a few minutes several had arrived and it was not long before Xatobi herself walked in and seated herself amongst the crowd to hold a meeting about a rite she wished to begin. I stood at the back catching a few words and notes as the heat and humidity built.

The Healers Guild Structure.

Many things have changed many times within the Healers Guild over the last few years but there has been a constant presence there striving to make improvements. Crymson has long worked to deal with curses and provide assistance to those in need. This year he stepped up as Lifemaster and together with Bastion has made constant improvements to the guild area. Before the arrival and opening of the guild for the day I sat beneath the entrance canopy and looked for a subject to commit to my book to capture the current stability within the guild. Beside a lantern was a parchment listing the roles within the guild. I took a moment or two to jot it down.

The Stone Lion.

I strolled within the well lit rooms of the Court rooms, among the architecture was a recurring feature of a stone lion projecting a silent roar from the walls. Banners and shields were hung below the forms. It seemed appropriate to sketch this feature within my book.

Merlins Cave.

I searched within the court of Camelot to find my first subject for sketching at the Gathering. I noticed a pair of doors had been knocked off their hinges and passed through into a dark crystal cave. Forms were trapped in the rocks and a strange mist rose from an old cauldron in there. I settled in to sketch the scene into my book and found after a few minutes my spell casting ability had been enhanced (sadly this didn’t last once I left the cave). Others wandered in to admire the location and several referred to it as Merlins Cave. Very fitting I suppose.
