Ripped from the page (David T List)

I am Irdessa the Undying, an arena fighter in Keswal, in the property of Lanista Udiari.

Looks like he’s got a whole tree of links

Violence & Vigilance. Hopefully the sequel.

I will save Vim.

The planning room in Cornerstone in Vim. My father Andelsior would plan missions for the Vanguard. I learned my numbers and letters on the floor. Later I’d learn strategy by standing beside him. Those days are dead, as is my father, but maybe I’ll see Cornerstone again.

My twin javelins. They’re fluted to make you bleed out faster and they’ve never failed me in Keswal.

I’ll take that to mean, who needs to die the most? I used to think it was Marshal Zander. He arrested us after all, despite years of cooperation. That got my father killed. But he’s only a product of something older and helplessly corrupt. I don’t see that improving until His Might, Vretos dies. If only he aged.

I grew up in Vim, a city as far from Promontory as you can get without falling off Fohrvylda. My friends and I had the run of the place. Andelsior was my father and he led Vim’s Vanguard. I watched him and learned.

Ah. You’re referring to the betrayal that led to our arrest. I guess if one of us had managed to see through that shit deal we’d still be running Vim’s Vanguard. And we’d surely be doing a better job than Promontory’s Domestic Patrol at cleaning up outlaws. But there’s no point in digging that up.

I don’t know who hurt you, but I wish it had been me. One day you’ll pay for all you’ve done and all you plan to do. I hope I’m there.

From David: Thanks for indulging in these interviews, dear reader. And thanks DB for inviting me to do this. V&V launches August 4^th, and I hope you can join in on Irdessa’s journey.
