From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

Court of the Fallen was created in October of 2018 by Odd, Honey, and Crooked.
Skinning and hosting by the epically talented Kaons, and functionality fanciness by the coding magic of Neowulf. If you ever see either of them around, make sure to show them some love!
"Right, how could I forget?" Sah remarked dryly with fond amusement. The Outlander was far too satisfied to knock the proud woman to the ground. He was about to call his win when her leg kicked out. Catching him on the shin hard enough to bruised, she made him pause. But not long enough to stop him.
"Ow." Sah grumbled as he placed the point of his sword firmly at her neck. "Yield." Assuming that Aino agreed, he's offer a hand to bring her to her feet.
Rubbing the new bruise on his leg and putting away his sword, Sah sent her a grin. "Drinks are on me, right?"
He had no right to be grumbling. Sah was not the one lying on the ground with a sword to the throat. Aino glared at him, disgruntled and with more than her pride bruised, and seemed about ready to keep going. But with a sigh she did what honor dictated, and raised her hands from the snow in surrender.
"I yield," she bit off, and accepted his hand.
Once hoisted back up on her feet, she took a moment to compose herself, look over the sword and gather up her wounded pride before she could back at Sah with a wry sort of smirk. Neither of them were good at losing, but at least he wasn't rubbing it in.
"Two rounds," she agreed, upon slinging her sword back over the shoulder. "You really are good with that thing. Maybe you've missed yer callin', and should be joining the Shields. No doubt Deimos could make a fine warrior out of ye."
Slinging her arm about the young man's shoulders, they began the walk back into town. Arguing about proffessions, comparing favored drinks - Aino began to fill Sah in on her conversation with the General about wheelchairs and ramps for Ilma. A project for another time.

Come and conquer, drop your bombs Cross my borders and kill the calm
