Trixany Performance, Saturday 9/14

Come hear Trixany sing a hardcore* musical tribute to the metal legend RANÉK VILMAS at Shadowsands Bazaar!

If you've been around The Cast Co, or to Wings & Metal, you know that Ranék is a dear buddy to a lot of us: metalhead, rockstar, and an all-around cool worgen guy. So of course he inspired this new head-banging song by the parody princess.

Saturday, Sept 14 at 8pm CST on Moon Guard, The Lost City of Tol'vir, Uldum

🐾 Enjoy the bazaar, stick around for the performances... and come ready for the mosh pit with yo paws up!! 🐾

Magick and Moonlight

It’s kismetOr just perfect timing,Or maybe the UniverseListening But,Locking eyes with you acrossThat crowded room,We welcomed the lightInto our darkest shadowsAnd set the future into motion. That night,We wrote the beginning ofOur happy ending. So when the bell rings,And we bid the pastA February farewell,I’ll take your words,Your sadness,Your pain,And bury them allIn the graveyard of…

Fragments of Woodland

I remember the momentwe entered the woods:boots imprinted soil, releasing the scent of bark. I remember how the shadowsand undergrowth embraced us.The chill traced goose bumpson our skin as we brushed past rusty ferns and sodden grass,tangled in branches, kissedby leaves and brushed by fungus,and acres of trees exhaled into fragments of sky and cloud,a sigh that hugged our lungsand filled them…

DEAREST MAY By Samuel Asuquo

DEAREST MAY, Oh May,Is as if you were lostwithout tracesFor the sea searches for youBut got lost in your horizon,And the land waited Till the dark came And swallow its only shadowThough the wind is still whirling Around the mountain topNot knowing you were just Behind April’s shadowsAnd the sun impatiently, Had swallowed all the  water dropletsIn the Northern Hemisphere.I know the soil still…

The Blue Moon Poem

The Blue Moon Poem

The blue moon risesIn the dark and starry skyA rare and precious sightA symbol of love and hope It casts a soft, ethereal glowUpon the earth belowIlluminating the shadowsAnd chasing away the night The blue moon whispersOf mystery and magicIt tells tales of the pastAnd speaks of the future As it hangs in the skyIt reminds us of allThat is possible and true So let us gaze upon the blue moonAnd…

Shadowsands Bazaar Purchases 5/30

Wicker Charm:

A triangular talisman made of wicker and bone, tied together with string. Keeping it over your bed will shield you from dream interference; keeping it in front of your door will shield your home and family from harmful magic. Of course, the charm can be repurposed toward more nefarious deeds, but neither Aura nor the Dreadmist Crew would know anything about such things.

Fer the Respite. Better to be too prepared than unprepared. Hope we don’t need it, but it’s there if we do. I’m startin’ ta fall behind on how this kinda magic works. Might need ta take a trip ta Drustvar and see what Alton thinks about this charm. I can feel that it’s real, but I wonder how effective it really is. Might as well visit soon. Book ‘a Bones is actin weird. He might know why.

MD Boarding Party:

An Eight Barrelled Rifle with a rotating cylinder. Fielding 80. Calibre ball shot, this behemoth fires like a double-action revolver, and has a built in feature to discharge all eight shots one after the other with great speed. (Think the Repeater Handgun from Warhammer) It is made from fine steel and wood. A great addition to anyone's armoury! It weighed about 12lbs, and could be used to knock a fool stupid if the situation called for it.

Fer me. Hehe. Winter’s Veil came real early. I knew me and this thing were ta go hand-in-hand the moment I laid eyes on all eight cylinders. Now I got something that’s got real firepower without havin’ ta use Shadow if I need it. Gotta practice quickly loadin’ it. It’s more unwieldy than my pistol. Eight shots, and it becomes a club until I got the time ta load the cylinders.

Aqua Regissima:

This extremely potent solvent will take care of most of your disintegration needs. From gold to flesh, everything melts under the sizzling touch of this base.

Fer Loira: Figure this might be helpful in some way or another. Strong ass acid. Got no idea what the name means. I know ‘Aqua’ means water. The other part? Hell if I know. Remind me to speak ta ya about somethin’. Got two new things that might interest ya: One new potion recipe I managed ta get from an old friend and some kind ‘a adrenaline-storin’ parasite I figure ya might wanna study.

Leather Mask: Red Dragon

Supple leather has been wet formed and smoothed into various creatures and shapes, moulded onto a face shaped block to promise an excellent fit upon the wearer’s face. Each piece has been hand stitched with a deep black thread - for some colors this blends in well, in others it creates artistic details. Masks come with a soft cord that allows it to be easily tied onto whoever it is meant for.

Fer Ratbit. Figured this’d fit ya both metaphorically and literally. Sorta know where ya got yer skills. Figured this’d be on brand fer ya whenever ya gotta get some wetwork done. Wherever ya are, stay safe. But more importantly, stay hidden, and stay alive.

Porcia Blend Rolled Cigarettes x20:

A blend of fine, mellow herbs combined with high-quality Westfall green tobacco. Combined with cured Kul Tiran Billow-Weed, a recreational herb favored by Great Sea Corsairs, Star-Lily petals from the Shadowmoon Nightmarsh of Draenor, and a small amount of sticky, refined felweed resin.

Fer me. Ma, I know ya always hated anything that even rhymed with ‘tobacco,’ hated its smell on pop’s beard. But honestly? I don’t gotta worry about killin’ my lungs when I’m already dead. Wish ya were here though. Even ya scoldin’ me is somethin’ I miss. I... Sometimes, I wish I had the power to step through the veil, inta the land ‘a the dead just so I can see ya again. But the dead should rest. Ya deserve yer rest. Me and pop’ll see ya when our times come. Wherever ya are, ma, I love ya. I hope yer at peace.

Smyrna Oil

The oil of the Alteraci Sassafrass herb, combined with the spores of the Mudsnout Blossom Mushroom of Hillsbrad. A few drops of this oil for the experienced, or a single drop for the wary, should be soaked into a small square of cloth and tucked between the lips and teeth. This oil induces a kind, slow, altered state of pleasant and colorful hallucinations and happy, sleepy awe. Especially useful when observing the beauty of the natural world. The effects fade roughly an hour after the cloth is removed from the mouth. Doubly effective and slightly restorative for undead.

Fer me. Pop talked me up and down about meditation in the letters before he disappeared. I’m still skeptical that it works for the dead. But Nigel assured me it does. Takin’ this is like escapin’ fer awhile. Sometimes get tired, exhausted enough ta not even feel like movin’ sometimes. Maybe this can help.

Throwing Knives of Seeking x5:

These well-balanced throwing knives appear unnaturally keen and sharp. Before it is thrown, the wielder chooses a target. The knife will then correct its own course of flight as needed to hit that target.

Fer me. Lately I’ve noticed my aim’s gettin’ a little shaky. Might be the mindlessness startin’ ta take hold. Sometimes, my hands feel so cold, and they won’t stop shakin’. I’m scared. Feel like my time’s gettin’ closer each day. And shaky aim might get me my second death. Need ways ta defend myself without relyin’ on a gun. Age is gettin’ ta me. Sometimes, I wonder if I should succumb ta it or keep goin’. Latter wins every time. Sometimes, I don’t know why I keep choosin’ it. Maybe it’s just because I’d rather die standin’, not quietly kickin’ the bucket.

Glasses of Translation:

“A must-have for both bureaucrats and merchants. When worn, the following languages (when read) are translated into Common for the wearer: Draenic, Thalassian, Darnassian, Gnomish, Dwarvish, Gutterspeak, Orcish, Goblin, Zandalari, Taurahe, and even Nerubian!”

Fer ya, pop. Hope yer doin’ all right. Ain’t seen ya in awhile, not a single word since old god shit hit the Vale hard. Miss ya every day. I try not ta think about it too much or else I become an anxious mess. Hope this package gets ta ya. Just... please write me back, pop, even if it’s just ta let me know yer still okay. I’m goin’ down ta the Vale myself ta look fer ya if nothin’ comes in.

I know ya’ve been learnin’ from them monks. I dunno how much ya’ve learned, but I hope it was enough ta keep yerself alive durin’ that invasion. I love ya, and I wish ya were here.

Pipe of Insight:

An excellent tool for the student pressed for time, or for the researcher on the brink of a discovery. When any material is lit in the pipe, and then smoked for five minutes, the smoker feels great mental clarity, and their body rejuvenates as if they had a full night’s rest. The mental clarity lasts for four hours.”

Fer me. One ‘a the worst feelin’s in the world is bein’ tired, and ya can’t sleep or do nothin’ about it other than just lie down and hope it eventually goes away. Works on Undead. Made sure ta ask. Hopefully, this’ll make restin’ a lot easier.

Skeletal Stag and Doe Figurine:

This is a graceful pair of carved skeletal wooden figurines, the Eversong wood of a pale hue with a very fine grain. The stag stands tall and alert while the doe rests at his side, head also turned forward as if having just noticed something ahead. The eyes glimmer against the wood with dark, cloudy onyx gems set to match them as a pair. Within the curve of the doe’s body one could rest a candle, though incense could also be leaned against her spine to hold it upright as it burns.

Fer Alton. Sorry I ain’t been ta Drustvar lately ta help ya out on the farm. Travel ta Kul’Tiras proper’s hard. But I think tensions are easin’ up after, well, the Banshee showed her true colors and the war ended. Reckon these figurines would be fittin’ fer ya. Swear this stag even looks like one ‘a yer forms, bones and all. I ain’t forgotten ya. Just waitin’ fer the right time ta visit. Kill a witch fer me, Alton. Stay safe.

⭐️ Review for #ShadowSands ⭐️ Thank you to Frankie at @littlebrownbookgroup_uk for being part of this tour and to @robertbryndza for the book! Synopsis: When Kate Marshall finds the bloated body of a young man floating in the Shadow Sands reservoir, the authorities label it a tragic accident. But the details don't add up: why was he there, in the middle of the night? If he was such a strong swimmer, how did he drown? As Kate and her assistant Tristan Harper follow the evidence, they make a far darker discovery . . . This is only the latest victim in a series of bloody murders dating back decades. A mythic serial killer is said to hide in the rolling fog, abducting his victims like a phantom. And when another woman is taken, Kate and Tristan have a matter of days to save her from meeting the same fate. Review: I'm beginning to think that it's impossible for Robert Bryndza to write a book i don't absolutely love and give five stars too. Once again he's crafted an incredible story full of twists, turns and red herrings. One of my favourite aspects of Nine Elms was the friendship between Kate and Tristan and that developed even more here. It was great learning more about Tristan, seeing his relationship with his family and how he grew more as a character during the story. Peter Conway, while not as big a player as in the first book, is a menacing presence throughout. This was something i think Bryndza was able to achieve superbly, a silent unnerving spectre in the life of Kate and her son. It reminded me of Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. A small physical presence but a huge impact overall. The main storyline was chilling. People vanishing as the fog rolls in, the bodies uncovered indicating a serial killer is at work all lead to an investigation which hits close to home for Kate and Tristan. I was gripped from the first paragraph and devoured this incredible story in a day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 #books #bibliophile #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #book #bookish #bookishlyengaged #bookishlove #bookishlife #bookreview #bookreviews #booksofig #bookrecommendations #thriller #booknerd #bookstagrammer #booklovers #booksbooksbooks #darklybookish https://www.instagram.com/p/CHK7ncMgb-f/?igshid=1tegel5215iec

[skellebonez]

I have absolutely NO prompts for them (specific prompts anyway) but I have the strongest most out of place desire to just... write either ShadowCoding or TintedGlasses (SyntaxMacaque and TangMacaque, but I heard the later is also called HibiscusTea? When did that start?).

I also have a desire to write another crackship but that one HAS a prompt so I'll work on that I guess.
