SETTING:

All Vales have some base similarities. They are all located in the Uncleansed Lands as the Tayldras call them. Lands that have not yet been cleansed of harmful magic and harmful mage twisted animals so the non-Gifted humans might occupy the land.

All Vales are surrounded by a Veil. This is a magical dome that encompasses the Vale keeping out unwanted animals and allowing the climate to be carefully controlled by it's Mages. To normal sight the Veil is invisible to Mage Sight it shimmers like sparkles in the air.

All Vales have hot springs, usually mage created or shaped. Bathing pools consist of a teired affair with a smaller hot pool ont he lowest tier for cleaning oneself, and a larger pool above for soaking and lounging. Tayledras are Not body shy at all and have no qualms about sharing bathing pools all the time. However if one is seeking a romantic bath there is a small marker at the entrance to each bathing pool area that can be flipped to red for privacy, green to welcome others, or blue to indicate normal usage.

All Vales also have: ekeles- the tree homes of the Tayledras, caves- for the Hertasi of the vale, and clearings and meadows for the various other non-humans like Dyheli. Some Vales also offer cliff caves for Gryphons and Kyree.

_{[glow=red,2,300](Amberhart and Vekia)[/glow]}


Amberhart was busy packing up his belongs in the specially reinforced double ekele he shared with Vekia. He'd just been informed by one of the Vale's elders that they were being sent to Haven and that he'd be required to act as Trondi-irn for anyone else among the non-human residents that needed it. He was perfectly happy with this situation as it was a good oppurtunity to see more of Valdemar and meet new people. He wasn't quiet sure how Vekia would take it, her being so close to completing her Master's training but he'd deal with it if it became necessary.

It didn' take him long to pack everything up and it all fit into a surprising small number of bags. Well, it would be surprising to anyone who was not familiar with how the clothing was designed to fold down into remarkably small packages and with how efficient his people were at packing up. That seen to he started to head towards the stairs down when he heard the thunder of very large wings and the distinctive thump of Vekia landing on her special platform. Turning around he was just in time to see her come all the way in. He could tell immediately that she was excited about something but waited for her to tell him, not wanting to spoil the young gyrphons fun.

Practically springing at him and gryph-grinning widely, "Did you hearrr!? We arrre going to Haven!!!" She was practically squirming with delight.

Laughing, well that takes care of how she'd react. An excited and happy gryphon was much easier to deal with than an upset one. Walking over and reaching up to scratch behind her ear tufts, "Yes, I've been informed. As you can see I just finished packing." Pointing to a separate pile of bags, "I took the liberty of packing up your gear as well Vek so we'd not have to waste any more time getting ready. Oakleaf told me we're to leave as soon as is reasonably possible."

Looking surprised, "Oh. Good. Thank you Amberrrharrt forrrr thinking of that." With nothing needing doing she made as if to go but turned back, eyes and body language betraying nerves. "Sssunssong ssaid to come ssee herrr when I'd finisshed packing. I think sshe'ss going to give me my Masster'ss tesst." Ear tufts flat to her head with nerves, "But I'm not rrrready yet!!"

Making soothing noises and stroking her feathers, "Of course you're ready ke'chara. You've been working very hard to get ready for this test. You'll do wonderfully I'm sure of it."

Her ear tufts pricked back up at his words. "You'rrre rright. I have worrrked verrry harrd on thiss." Nodding decisively, her confidence restored, she bent over to gently preen a loose strand if his hair and then returned to the landing platform and launched herself dramatically off it.

Shaking his head and chuckling at her display, "Silly bird, could just as easily dropped off the platform." He then went off to soak in the hotsprings for awhile before finding something to eat.

Several hours later saw him strolling over to the foot of the tree that housed his and Vekia's ekele just in time to glimpse a retreating tail tip and see the basket that they'd use to travel to Haven loaded and ready to go.

He smiled to himself as he checked the basket out. No doubt he'd find some hiden surprises stashed away by the hertasi for them to find later. Just then Vekia came hurtling through the trees. She angled herself so as to have to sun at her back and then came in for and a landing every bit as showy as her takeoff of earlir. She tried to saunter over calmly as if nothing was new but her whole body betrayed her, not to mention the fact that he could sense her emotions anyway. Once again pretending non-chalance, "So what did Sunsong want with you?"

Ruffling her feathers and shrugging, "Oh he wanted to give me my tesst."

Eyebrow raised, "And?"

Vekia couldn't contain it any more and practically pranced in her excitement. "I passed! I passed! I'm a Masster now."

Grinning broadly, "Congradulations Vek. I told you you could do it." Picking up a piece of harness, "And now since you're all finished why don't we head out. There's still plenty of daylight left and the winds in the right direction."

Decisively nodding her head she stepped over to be fitted out with the harness for carrying the basket. They finished that relatively quickly and, having already said goodbye to friends and family, they saw no reason not to leave immediately. Amberhart strapped himself into the basket and as soon as he was done so Vekia gave a great push upwards and with a few strong wingbeats they were airborne and on their way.

[glow=red,2,300](Steelwings)[/glow]


Steelwings was busy finishing packing for his upcoming journey to Haven in Valdemar. The young blacksmith was both excited and nervous about the whole thing. This would be the first time since he'd been adopted as a brother by Blackbird (at the age of six) that he'd been to Valdemar. Even though that was in fact his country of origin.

Nearby on a very large perch his bondbird Kreea was also busy preening herself after her meal. He devoutly hoped that they'd be prepared for such a large bondbird as his. He assumed that a message of some kind had been sent to Neverwind to inform him of his upcoming arrival.

It didn't take him long to finish packing. He fastened the last bag securely. Walking over to Kreea, who'd finished her preening, he scratched her affectionately while she closed her eyes in pleasure. "Well Kreea are you ready for our trip?"

::Ready for trip. Curious.::

Laughing, "So am I love, so am I." Giving her one last caress, "Well we'd better load up and get on our way before we lose anymore daylight."

Accordingly he set to work and soon they were on their way out of the Vale. Just before they passed through the Veil he stopped and took one last look around.
