SHAMELESSLY STEALING IDEAS FROM HEDGE

[twin-fans.livejournal.com]

Fleischheim. It's a bustling medieval metropolis, possibly a port or trade city of some kind, surrounded by massive walls. In the center is a fortress, the home of the ruling authority of the land. It's an old-tech place, one where people who claim to have magic are believed, for they may or may not be telling the truth, alchemists yearn to transmute lead into gold, and guards in chain mail and knights in plate keep the peace.

Your characters are now in this place, as visitors or citizens. If they're not human, they are now. If they're superhuman, then they're merely the stuff of legends here, be it through skills or amazing physical prowess.

Go.

The scholar who kept the town's library had a ward, a small girl who dabbled in this and that. Yue had read every book in the possession of the great library, and was on her way to being a great sorceress. When her time comes.

She worked with everyone who had some valuable skill, some neat bit of knowledge to add to the library and its possessions. Trading materials and goods for just the time to talk, and write what a person has to offer.

She also had done some traveling, to gather more books from other cities, which might not be considered a safe prospect for a girl, let alone one that is as small as she is. But she has some skill with a blade, and she always returns safe. Which simply adds to the stories of her 'magic.'
