The Grey Tower

Callum looked at the building rising above him. He felt a sense of foreboding, knowing that his entire life was about to change, just as soon as he walked through the gates and signed his name in the books as a Soldier. His hands were tightened on the reins of the horse, and he had to force himself ...

Callum considered these words and fell silent for a few moments as he did so. He hadn't thought of that, but as they said, 'The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills', and who was he to say that this wasn't exactly what the Wheel had had in mind for him all along. His slight frown and vacant expression li...

Callum gave Kalyan a bewildered smile when he couldn't seem to recall how long he'd been at the tower, but then nodded along with the given explanation. "That makes sense. I'm sure there's a lot to learn, and plenty of things to do for those higher in rank. It has to be a bit bewildering."...

Callum smiled and nodded, "Ready as I'll ever be," he replied, wiping the sweat on his palms off and indicating that they should start forward. "So, how long have you been at the Tower then?" he asked, wanting to keep the friendly conversation going while they walked. it would he...

Callum smiled, "Whitebridge is a wonderful place to visit, and an even better place to be raised. But then, I'm likely to be biased, seeing as both apply to me." He looked around at all the hustle and bustle around him, wondered if he should be honest and get roped into a possible conversa...

Callum pulled up short. He'd been paying very little attention to his surroundings and felt a little bit foolish. His mind was mostly focused on the Tower in the distance and getting there to get enrolled. He looked down at the man speaking up to him and gave him a slight smile and a nod. He was sta...

Oh, I understand fully, but I already know full well what Ajah I'm going to join, lol. I guess I could always enjoy watching people compete over me though.

As his horse came into town at a slow walk Callum took it all in. It had been a good long time since the Grey Tower had been established, but even then, he hadn’t expected the town around it to be so large. He saw people from all over the world walking the streets. Accents, clothing, scents, skin to...
