Sir Niles - Also known as “The Jolly Goliath”, Sir Niles lives in the current history of this dark fantasy universe, He can be seen roaming from town to town, taking down any beasts that happen to be inconveniencing any townsfolk he comes across. Though Sir Niles fights with the Torrent Guild, aiding in their pursuit to eradicate the Unitorum, Niles would much rather be found in the nearest pub, downing a pint amongst his “Lads”. Though Sir Niles is fond of day drinking, this somehow does not inflict upon his weapon skills. Sir Niles wields his trusty oversized mace that he nicknamed “IronToes” No one is really sure why he named it that, he is extremely proficient in using irontoes even though it is a very impractical weapon. Also fun fact about Sir Niles, he was the only man that picked a duel with the Nameless Knight and was able to retreat mildly scathed due to his incredible weaponry skills and his outright respect for the Knight. (I’ll get around to explaining who the Nameless Knight is soon)

One of my favorite characters I’ve made in this universe.

Challenge #03968-J316: Under Strict Supervision

The wandering magistrate hadn't come, at least not alone. This time, someone much higher rank came with them to see what kind of job they were doing. The knomira and the wandering magistrate learn very quickly this higher-up person is NOT amused by the idea of any kind of corruption among their peers. And, fortunately, this one has the authority to put two individuals in their place, harshly.

There were two horses coming into town. Two riders. One was the travelling magistrate, and the other... wore the livery of the Crown. Her riding dress wore a prominent depiction of the Whitekeep coat of arms on both chest and back. Her horns had a delicate silver diadem locked onto them. She was young, but held herself like a princess.

Because she was a princess. Princess Joyful Velvet Maripose Whitekeep, first of her name. Perfectly safe in the company of that magistrate because everyone knew who her father was.

Besides, the first daughter of the Thrice-Sworn King didn't need her Dad to cut off anyone's face for her. She was just as deadly as her sire. And she promised to be twice as deadly here. She didn't look down her nose at the citizens of Greenway Hollow, she examined them all in seconds as she passed. No wonder she assessed Nada Irontoe as an interfering, opinionated, busybody in an instant.

How Does Iron Enhance Your Health?Iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, contributing significantly to overall health and well-being. This vital nutrient is involved in oxygen transport, energy production, and immune function, among other things. Understanding how iron enhances your health can help you appreciate the importance of maintaining adequate iron levels in your diet.The Role of Iron in Oxygen TransportOne of the primary functions of iron in the body is its role in the formation of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Hemoglobin contains iron molecules that bind to oxygen, allowing red blood cells to carry it through the bloodstream. Without sufficient iron, the body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to a condition known as iron deficiency anemia. Symptoms of this condition include fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath, highlighting how iron boosts your health by ensuring efficient oxygen delivery to tissues and organs.Iron and Energy ProductionIron is also critical for energy production. It is a component of various enzymes involved in cellular respiration, the process by which cells generate energy. These enzymes help convert nutrients from food into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell. By supporting these enzymatic functions, iron plays a vital role in maintaining energy levels and overall metabolic health. Thus, having adequate iron levels is crucial for sustaining energy and preventing feelings of lethargy.Supporting Immune FunctionIron's influence on health extends to the immune system. Iron is necessary for the proliferation and maturation of immune cells, particularly lymphocytes, which are essential for the body's defense mechanisms against infections. Furthermore, iron deficiency can impair the body's ability to mount an effective immune response, making individuals more susceptible to infections. Therefore, ensuring sufficient iron intake is key to supporting a robust immune system and protecting the body from various illnesses.Cognitive Function and DevelopmentIron is also essential for cognitive function and development, particularly in infants and young children. The brain's development relies heavily on iron, as it is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. Iron deficiency during critical periods of brain growth can lead to developmental delays and cognitive impairments. In adults, adequate iron levels contribute to maintaining cognitive performance and preventing issues such as decreased concentration and memory problems.Sources of IronTo reap the health benefits of iron, it is important to include iron-rich foods in your diet. There are two types of dietary iron: heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron, found in animal products such as red meat, poultry, and fish, is more readily absorbed by the body. Non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods like beans, lentils, spinach, and fortified cereals, is not absorbed as efficiently but is still a valuable source of this nutrient. Consuming a balanced diet that includes both types of iron can help ensure you meet your daily iron requirements.Enhancing Iron AbsorptionCertain dietary practices can enhance the absorption of iron, particularly non-heme iron. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and bell peppers, alongside iron-rich foods can significantly boost iron absorption. Additionally, avoiding the intake of coffee, tea, and calcium-rich foods or supplements during iron-rich meals can prevent the inhibition of iron absorption by these substances.Conclusion: The Health-Enhancing Properties of IronIn conclusion, iron enhances your health in numerous ways, from facilitating oxygen transport and energy production to supporting immune function and cognitive development. By understanding the importance of this essential nutrient and incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet, you can maintain optimal health and prevent iron deficiency-related issues. Remember, a well-balanced diet that ensures adequate iron intake is a key component of overall well-being.

Guild Wars 30 days challenge

Day 15 : What do you listen to while you play ?

I... listen to the game ? XD I hardly ever listen to something else while playing.

A few weeks ago when I was grinding Fronis Irontoe's Lair for my monk's Survivor title, I listened to a lot of Destiny lore videos made by My name is Byf. Great insights, even though I disagree with some things. (Says the woman who doesn't play Destiny^^)

Story of a Small Town’s Story

I began S.O.A.S.T. as a way to create awareness and to insight a call-to-active to my local hometowns of Ironto, Elliston, and Shawsville, Virginia. The intention was to bring to light the necessity to have a more active participation turning the local economy in these communities around. It’s bad news when all your banks have moved out and your only pharmacy has closed down. When many of the businesses are struggling to have local business partrons and when the locals have to take most or all of their business into other larger towns to meet their needs. 

This should not be! Only, when I began searching for other local folks to become more active in understanding these issues as trouble, I was met with a lack of interest from the natives to insight changes. And any assistance requested from local non-profits to partner together and see what else could be done, I was met with no response. At this point, I just decided if I was going to be see change, it would be by me personally. But when you don’t have adequate finances to do this, how do you do it?

I brainstormed of ways to do this just by myself. A HUGE undertaking for anyone! But I thought, “What do these communities have within themselves that could be built off of and enhanced?” We have tons of natural resources. So, I thought perhaps looping nearby local trails, or even the Appalachian Trail through these communities to bring in tourism. And besides that, what else do we have plenty of? A wealth of historical music for generations. Perhaps an additional stop for The Crooked Road. And what else do we have? ENDLESS STORIES! All different and everyone with something interesting... if you can convince people to share them. And that’s where I come in. 

I’m beginning with “MY” story, because I can’t ask anyone else to share what I am unwilling to do myself. That being said, I am mostly done with writing my memoir on child loss entitled “Three Jewels in a Mother’s Crown: Reigning Victorious Over the Grief from Child Loss,” which I hope to establish an author platform and website for soon, where I can begin selling it in eBook form until there are funds for a print version. Or perhaps sell it on a Patreon account. I’m not sure yet. But will let you know if you are interested. 

Drop me a line or comment. Ask me questions about my blog platform for S.O.A.S.T. or for my memoir. I’m open for discussion and hope to chat with you all soon!
