...in Some Old Places.
Slow Story Progress is Slow. But, for the most part, I've been getting some new, juicy material to use for future chapters of "The Praxeum Chronicles" from playing WoW. Particularlly since my main, Macroi, has been leveling up in Zangramarsh in Outland.
I've also been working with a new main on a separate server. A friend who has a house-guild on Blade's Edge has convinced me to give the Shaman class a go, so now I have a new character that may be cropping up in the future plot of the story.
Also, considering it's the night of the Winter's Veil celebration, I want to send out to everyone a very Merry Christmas, and hoping that the holiday season is a good one for you and yours.

Back in Business!
Hooray! My Desktop computer arrived today! Refurbished, new chasis (a Compaq, ugh), more RAM, bigger hard drive!
Now, just need to go through reinstalling all of the programs I've been using... and hopefully get paid so I can get back onto WoW. The Praxeum SHALL return!
Also, uploaded revised Chapter 7 for "The Blessed Light" today. Enjoy the story!

Computer Progress -- Chapters Updated!
Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 of "The Blessed Light: Book One" have been updated/revised, and are now available for reading at my Fanfiction.net page.
Getting back into the swing, with the characters, so that should make things move more smoothly as I get back to work on the current chapter (16 overall, chapter 2 of Book Two).
As well, my desktop has been repaired and should hopefully be on the way sometime in the week ahead. I'm THIS close to getting back online with WoW again.
In the meantime, enjoy the revised chapters! For the Praxeum! -- SSJ

Character Profile 003
3rd of ??? profiles, to give you the reader some background on the characters that are part of "The Praxeum Chronicles". Daily Post #2, and here's the female protagonist of our story.
Enjoy! For the Praxeum! -- SSJ
* Gender: Female
* Race: Blood Elf (Sin’dorei)
* Eyes: Forest Green
* Eyes Glow: Fel Green (currently)
* Hair: Auburn Red w/ Gold Highlights.
* Height: 5’ 11"
* Occupation: Unknown.
* Rank: Unknown.
* Birthplace: Silvermoon City, Kingdom of Quel’thalas.
* Base of Operations: Silvermoon City, Kingdome of Quel’thalas.
* Affiliation: The Horde.
* Abilities: Freaja has the inherent arcane abilities of her race, as such is capable of taping into mana-based and fel-based energy sources to either use to cast spells, or stave off the arcane addiction that is a hallmark of the Sin’dorei. She has proven to know some basic martial skills -- riding, the use of armor and basic combat skills -- but it is not clear if she has had formal combat training as yet. She does have strong diplomatic skills and has proven to be very educated on the laws of war.
The youngest daughter (one half of a pair of twins -- her brother is Freajr Sin’belore) of one of the noblest of families in Quel'thalas, Freaja was raised in the hopes of following her father -- Odan Sin’belore, a highly-learned scholar -- in his path of teaching. As such, for his wisdom and level-headed-ness, Odan achieved a high role as a leader among her people, and it was intended that Freaja would also benefit from learning at his side, as he stood among the Council of Silvermoon.
However, the invasion of the Scourge and the death knight Arthas changed everything. Near the apex of the Scourge assault, her father was struck by a plague-carrier and, as a result, was rendered blind. After the attack, and the resulting revivial of Kel’Thuzed, when the bulk of the Scourge left Quel’thalas in ruins, the remnants of the High Elves -- now called the Sin’dorei -- worked to rebuild was was left of their race and capital.
Despite the fact that nearly all of the elves in Quel'thalas were wiped out, Freaja, her father Odan, her brother Freajr and her two elder sisters Sifya and Helyna had managed to survive the slaughter and were among the first to join in the rebuilding effort.
It is unclear as to why she was discovered in a slaver’s cage in the wilds of the Eastern Kingdoms, but it is linked to a secret that Freaja herself is both reluctant to reveal herself, and is the source of a mystery that she -- and the paladin, Liam mac Roi are keen to unravel.

Character Profile 002
2nd of ??? profiles, to give you the reader some background on the characters that are part of "The Praxeum Chronicles". Here, I present Liam's companiions... after all, every hero needs his side-kicks. ^_^
Enjoy! For the Praxeum! -- SSJ
Rhandall Sturmhahn
* Gender: Male
* Race: Dwarf (Wildhammer)
* Eyes: Gray-Green
* Hair: Deep-Red
* Height: 4’ 5”
Hanna Sturmhahn
* Gender: Female
* Race: Dwarf (Wildhammer)
* Eyes: Gray-Blue
* Hair: Golden-Red
* Height: 4’ 2”
* Occupations: Tracker, Hunter.
* Ranks: Master-Sergeant / Sergeant-Major
* Birthplace: Aerie Peak, Hinterlands.
* Base of Operations: Ironforge, Dun Morogh
* Affiliations: The Hunters’ Guild, The Order of the Praxeum.
* Abilities: As both Hanna and Rhandall are hunters, they are both skilled trackers, accomplished beast-masters and survivalists. Both are highly-trained marksmen and take their skills with guns very seriously; Rhandall is more concerned with precision, while Hanna believes in quick-shooting speed. The Cousins carry specially-crafted rifles with them at all times -- gifts from their guild's gunsmith -- and have both swords and axes as melee weapons.
Both have tamed hunting pets -- one white and one black nightsaber, named Skott and Kryn.
Rhandall and Hanna are both cousins, and are members of the Sturmhahn clan of Aerie Peak -- with their fathers being twin brothers, Bronbor and Burdoc. Apart from being accomplished brewmasters, Bronbor (Hanna’s father) was a skilled tracker, while Burdoc (Rhandall’s father) was a master marksman. Both seeing the benefit of each other’s skill, they worked in concert to train each other’s child in both skill-sets.
By the time they had both reached their majority, Rhandall and Hanna had become two of the best hunters in all of Aerie Peak. Determined to become masters at their crafts, the cousins set out together to journey to the High-Thane’s city of Ironforge, where they joined the Hunter’s Guild and continued to hone their skills in the snowy lands of Dun Morogh.
Over the years, it was rare to ever see one Sturmhahn Cousin without the other. Rhandall’s ‘pig-headedness’ and open emotions are often balanced out by Hanna’s level-headed tact and guile. Through the years, they have become a potent and effective tandem-team of huntsmen and marksmen.
Traveling across Azeroth, while the Sturmhahn Cousins continued their training in Ironforge, they had many adventures while plying their trade-skills and have become friends with many people in the Grand Alliance. Chief among these is the paladin Liam mac Roi -- whom they befriended while Liam was part of a contingent of humans training with the paladin trainers in Ironforge. They are also acquaitenced with the thief, Trissa Twinblades, the Night Elf engineer Kajara Oakenspire, as well as Liam’s childhood friend, Aemer Solarin.
Rhandall and Hanna have both been made honorary members of the Order of the Praxeum, where they serve in an advisory capacity.
They both have their families back in Aerie peak; with multiple (as yet unnamed) brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts. (Bronbor and Burdoc are the only named relatives mentioned in the context of this story.).
