Thread: From Gransys to Hearthstone - Past (EvaR & ChrisGabriel)

Hearthstone, a place not unlike Gransys but its own nonetheless. It had its fair share of monsters, the kind that lived in Gransys and different kind native only to Hearthstone such as nagas and gargoyles. Because of the different kind of the terrain within Hearthstone, there were many diverse creatures around nowadays, many of them have not been seen in the area for about a hundred years. Olter was a place unlike many other city in Hearthstone or Gransys, or any other country on that continent. It was the only city that could be found under a mountain. There was a hole on the other side of the Tainted Mountain, a huge one that humans carved into the mountain more than a hundred years ago. There is a tunnel connected to that cave, leading anyone who walks down it to Gransys. Right in front of the cave, hiding the scents of the humans inside, was a waterfall. The monsters around the south area of Hearthstone are saurians large bipedal lizards that tend to carry staffs or spears, many of which make the two rives of south Hearthstone their home. Because of the huge lizards, there must be a sentry stationed at the waterfall entrance at all times. There was also a drake of course, the lesser dragon that was not too much to handle for hunters. The underground city is mostly made up of homes and is not known for producing anything useful for any other city. Instead, the people there have been known to entertain anyone coming to Gransys, and they have enough room to do so. Three inns are inside of the town, two more than what is usually seen in a town of any kind. Smoke rose from the chimney of the fireplace while the smell of cooking food began to fill the inn while the innkeeper herself was busy trying to ask someone wanted for breakfast. So you just want a drink? Very well, that will be twenty gold, she said to the other woman. The innkeeper's belly was protruded, showing off her pregnancy especially short shirt she now wore. The cooking woman was further along than her boss, looking like she would give birth any day now. Oddly enough, there were few men in the town, ten at most. The inn was a little small, just two stories tall with three bedrooms for guest while the basement was reserved for the innkeeper to stay in. Besides the two pregnant women, there was one more in the inn. She sat beside the fireplace, frequently talking to the cook. On her back was a specially make pack, large enough to hold an egg bigger than the woman's head. It looked plain enough, except for the sheer size of it. The woman who lugged it around sat up straight, eyes narrowed and large bust almost unable to fit in her shirt. The woman's voice drifted through the quiet room, able to be heard easily, It's only been a week and look at us. We can't live like this, we need to get in contact with one of the other towns at least. I know, and nobody will go out. I hope you don't mind my saying, ma'm, but I don't blame them. I mean... well, proof of what they do is on your back after all, the cook mumbled, trying not to overstep her boundaries. Not only that but most of the men are gone, including Phillip. I'm sorry for your loss Maryam, but these monsters still need to be shown what for. The woman who spoke had a dagger in hand, as though she were ready to fight if need be. She sounded like she were ready to go out there as well but, given the way she moved carefully for the egg on her back, it also seemed unlikely.
