Karigan G'ladheon

Game Received: Dionysus' memory share game, Day 416, Night
Team Played With: n/a
Memory Form: a grape


Swordplay with Drent is just short of nightmarish :')

Supposedly training with Armsmaster Drent is an honor to Karigan, but it's also viewed as a punishment at times because he is exacting, demanding, and very drill sergeant.

This training for Karigan took the form of endurance training and building up the strength with her left arm. She will know how to fight with either her right or left hands with this skill. Drent is also the beginnings of the training towards swordsmaster initiate. She's not to that point yet, but she's now extremely skilled with a sword.

She'll receive hand weights with this skill.

Memory Form: a small silver vial. Uncap it to receive your skill.


Intrigue is a board game! It's similar in nature to chess. It's all about strategy and tactics. Karigan actually is really bad at it and kind of hates the game, but she does know the basics of how to play it.

The novel thing about Intrigue is that it can be played with two or three players. In a two player set up it is essentially chess. In a three player set up, the third, or triad, player can form alliances with the other players to gang up on one side or another or to backstab etc.

It can get really vicious!

That said, it is also used by the noble class as a teaching tool for their kids.


She will have a game board and the three sets of pieces (red, green, and blue) done in wood in her bedroom.

Memory Form: a golden laurel crown. Wear it to receive your skill! Usable only once, obviously, but you can keep it as an accessory.

The Rider's Call is what calls a prospective messenger to the Green Riders. It is a magical calling and usually felt or heard as hoofbeats. It can push a Rider to travel across an entire continent in any weather to take their place amongst the Riders.

Karigan is a pretty rare exception. :')

She resisted the call for a year or more, refusing to join the Riders immediately. Even she could not resist it entirely, and she kept her Rider's brooch with her even though she ignored the call. Eventually she gave into it after it drove her out of bed on a breakneck ride to the capital leaving her two towns over one morning in her nightgown.

For the time being, this reawakens Karigan's abilities in magic. They are minimal abilities except when augmented by her Rider's brooch. She has actually been wearing it since she arrived in Aather, but she could not see it for what it was: a winged horse cast in gold. The brooch identifies Riders to each other -- Riders being the only ones who can see them clearly.

However, given Aather's multiverse nature, if you would like to have your magic user sense the presence of the brooch and be able to see the wavery and indistinct form of the brooch, you are welcome to.

As it says on the tin basically.

This is a novice/intermediate level sword work. She's got natural talent though and is pretty good. She also has some dirty fighting tactics along with this.

This is from Master Rendle for the beginnings of formal training during school and Sevano, the Cargo Master of Clan G'ladheon, for the dirty stuff.
