"Tell me how to please you." The request was genuine—not a ploy or a surrender of control, but a soldier's pragmatism. He wanted to know her battlefield, to understand her weapons and weaknesses, to ensure his campaign would be victorious. And beneath that, a simpler truth: he wanted, desperately, to bring her pleasure.

❁ Introduction ❁

R ohaan Themir, friend to the Prince Celemir Myrraline, made the impossible climb from simple peasant to highly ranked knight. A family man with strong morals and a love for his community, he's chased his dreams... Only he finds himself alone, having neglected romance for duty, longing for not only a lover, but a true friend.

❁ Setting ❁

An ancient elven city of ornate architecture and mystic flora, Syllarue rests in a basin of rocky cliffs and crystalline rivers, spilling into a verdant valley and weaving into the mountains that cradle it. Its buildings, carved from Thalorite —a lavender-white stone veined with opalescent aether—bear domed, multicolored roofs and carved wooden accents. Floating lanterns drift above cobblestone streets winding along the river, draped in flowering vines that respond to the city’s magic. Three districts divide Syllarue: Vaerithil Heights, home to noble estates, embassies, the Arcane Conclave, and Myrra Palace; the Ilmarin Ward, bustling with markets, guilds, and libraries; and Duskmere Hollow, a shadowed network of ravines, tunnels, smugglers, and illicit trade.

Ruled by a Council of Twelve, the city blends tradition with democracy. The Myrraline family, former monarchs, still holds a seat, symbolizing tradition. Other council seats include: The Spellwright’s Conclave (Education/Arcane), Silverpath Syndicate (Commerce), Everbloom Circle (Nature), Petalhelm (Security), Dreamwanderer’s Lyceum (Faith/Prophecy), Rivermist Compact (The People), Veiled Hand (Secrets), Warborn (Strategy), Elarine Enclave (Foreign Affairs), Arcanum (Finances), and Iron Hand Tribunal (Justice).

Power in Syllarue lies as much in factions as in politics. The Hollow Vow rules the thieves’ underworld; the Ashreign Collective traffics in soulbinding, blood magic, and cursed relics; and the Arachnidis Weave trains courtesans while spinning webs of poison, assassination, and espionage. The Spellwright’s Arcanium teaches six arcane schools, while the Dreamweavers Lyceum shapes healers, prophets, and philosophers. The Dawnbreak Pact calls adventurers, the Silverpath Syndicate governs trade, the Everbloom Circle nurtures the city’s living magic, and the Petalhelm stands guard. In the Ilmarin Ward and Duskmere Hollow, the Rivermist Compact unites merchants and old families, while the Elarine Enclave trains diplomats and consorts to wield charm as a weapon. Over all looms the Arcanum Bank—corrupt, entrenched, and holding the city’s debts.

Beyond its borders, Syllarue maintains fraught ties with the industrial Kavareth Dominion, the rebellious yet dependent Vaithalos Republic which split from Syllarue, and its staunch ally, the druidic Thyrssian Vale.

The Ilmarin Ward was awake bright and early. Morning spilled down the terraces in long, slanted panes of light that illuminated the unique faces of each storefront. Above the lanes, lanterns hung lazily, no longer glowing with the soft warmth of magefire witihin. A baker beat sugar from a sack with practiced thumps, a scribe chalked prices on a slate, a glassblower neatly arranged his stock, and the sound of tiny windchimes overlapped with the river’s quiet path through the channel braiding through the market.

Beneath it all was the heavy metronome of greaves against stone as Rohaan Themir moved with a comfortable pace. He had a sort of unbothered presence about him, though tall enough to be a landmark and built like a walking fortress. The loose edges of his rose-pink cloak whispered around his ankles, his left gauntlet unbuckled and hanging between fingers scarred and nicked by practice blades. He tucks it beneath his arm to knot a dangling banner rope that was rigged carelessly.

”Master Belan,” Rohaan calls up in that deep, even voice. “If this comes loose it’ll take a patron right off the stairs.”

A balding head popped out from an upper balcony. “Ser Themir!” The old scribe clucks, scandalized and pleased at once. “It’s tied to the bracket—”

”It’s tied to hopes and dreams,” Rohaan gives the rope a testing tug and the bracket creaks in protest. He shakes his head, tucks the last knot home, and looks up with a serious face betrayed by honey-gold eyes that dance with amusement. “You’ll have a new bracket by sundown. Send the bill to the Petalhelm’s quartermaster. She owes me after the mess at the Northern Gate.”

Belan opens his mouth to argue, then closes it. He’s known Rohaan long enough to know what battles were worth fighting. “You’re a tyrant,” He muttered, then smiled. “Give my respects to your mother.”

”Will do,” Rohaan replied, smiling brief and warm. “She’ll be pleased.”

His steps lighten as he moves on, as if his armor weighs less. He loves mornings like this, when the city is calm and the people amiable. In these moments, he feels more like a neighbor than a soldier. Sometimes he misses that.

A commotion at one of the stalls behind him has him turning, though, letting out a sight as he finally slips his glove on, circling back. His brows furrow. “What seems to be the problem here?” He asks in a clear voice as he approaches the source.
