|| It starts slowly, quietly. First the sound of one person running, breathing heavily. Then two, then six, then dozens, hundreds, thousands. Incoherent cries and shouts join in to add to the chorus; the tang of aether hits your mouth. Soon there’s cannon fire in your ears. Occasionally you catch the soft release of a bowstring. You see people beside you – a sea of people in different colored uniforms but the same patterns. Comrades. Your side. A wave against a dark, faceless enemy. No, not faceless – they all sport the same face. They never seem to stop coming.

There's no map to it, the way to... not normal. Normal is a myth. But something better, at least. Sleeping a couple of bells at a time turns to three, then four. Making it a whole night without the sudden startle, your mind shouting Get Up, Get UP Damn You!! only to find blessed quiet, broken by the soft breaths of dreaming.

No handbook, no guide to tell you when these trials end. Only a hand to reach for as you breathe deeply. Lay back down. Brush your hair out of your eyes; it's grown long enough for that. You're the only one awake this time. Good. Maybe that too is a promising sign. You weren't loud. Sleeping on your back is comfortable again. The second time in a year.

And should it prove a bad night, where you have to get up to read or step outside, the sheets are still warm. You are not the only one who can keep a bed cozy.

Your nameday came and you got drunk. For once not to forget it was your nameday. Though maybe you'd like to forget the cost of the wine. The rest can stay. It sits in an odd spot right now, tucked between old discomforts and newer joy. But, as you've been told-- patience and time.

I am currently looking for new role-play partners. I’ll be starting with my Priest of Nald'thal, Nathaniel. Nathaniel is a particular character of a particular flavor: I highly encourage to check his additional information if this interests you. Role-play will be done exclusively in-game!

I come out of a very straining (albeit rewarding) role-play campaign and I am looking to branch out from my usual group and meet new players.

OVERVIEW:

Name: Nathaniel of Salem 

Ethnicity: Hyuran (Half-Highlander, Half-Midlander)

Age: 41 years 

Nationality: Ul'dahn 

Occupation: Priest of Nald'thal 

Known Proficiencies: Tutelage, Rhetorics, Sorcery, Enchantments, Theology, Aetherochemistry, Ul'dahn History, Exorcism, Swordsmanship.

HOOKS:

Foreign contacts. Nathaniel is looking to better his relationships with merchants and noblemen from beyond his borders. The character is new to Ul'dah and needs a caretaker: Nathaniel has been chosen for the task.

Private tutoring for Ul'dahn nobility. For all of his Royalist nonsense, Nathaniel’s skills are undeniable. The character is a young, promising nobleperson whose parents or caretakers reluctantly chose Nathaniel as a new private tutor for the discipline of their choice. 

Student of the Ossuary or Phrontistery. Perhaps you enjoy the man’s lectures more than you thought you would, and are in need of personal help for a project.

In need of spiritual guidance. […] Maybe your character has elected him as their personal counselor and comes to consult him every now and then for comfort and confidence’s sake.

AND Anything you would be available to work with, or have ideas for! I am very open to pre-established relationships, for as long as they are modular and superficial.
