Teaser from Dead Man’s Chest
Calhoun’s gaze settled on his Mate, a small smile spreading across his face. In the past few years he looked more Pirate than English Lord. The dark hair was browner, having been bleached by the sun, and was longer than when he had first had his way with the Englishman, the black velvet tie was no longer used to pull it back but instead tie of the braid that was settling on his shoulder. The fancy clothes were replaced by durable sea worth wear, a cutlass strapped to his side, with two side arms settled against his lower back.
Over time he had discovered he wasn’t actually an English Lord, but a Roman.
After they had Mated titles really didn’t mean anything to him.
English Lord.
Roman Lord.
There was no difference.
Neither would secure safe passage in the Caribbean.
Until he saw the Roman truly come out, and it was far from the English Lord he played. Warrick watched in awe and ended up horny as hell as his Mate ripped to shreds a group of soldiers working for the East India Trading Company that had the audacity to arrest Captain Calhoun.
Tony and Timothy had broken him out of the cell, while Nick finished off the soldiers. The grace and brutality that he used to dispatch the idiots was beautiful. For a moment he had thought he was looking at another who was known ‘to fight like a devil dressed as a man’.
When Nick pulled his sword from the soldier’s gut watching as he fell next to his comrades, then turned towards Warrick eyes flashing – he had been tempted to drop to his knees.
Anthony slid next to him, smirking slightly. ‘Captain, I would like to introduce you to the Roman General Nicolaus Valerius Meridius.’

Summary: When Johnny Tran begins stealing from some of Border’s Chosen Ones, Dom, with their Clan Leader’s permission, takes matters into his own hands. What he doesn’t expect is to come face to face with someone who will change his life forever.
Author’s Note 1: Although I am doing the rewrite on my own, I want everyone to know and remember that our John Sheppard helped me write this originally, and plot it out. While a lot has changed, the spirit of the plotline has stayed the same, and I have kept some of the original work when it fit.
Author’s Note 2: The Border storylines are going episodic, with the first season, now called Shifting Tides, lasting from Brian’s introduction to 2013-14-ish.

Author’s Note: A big huggy Thank You! to The General for all the help … We won’t talk about the Bunnies that were launched with afterburners on full. LOL
The names of the full moons are taken from American Indian Moons. As someone who has the greatest respect for indigenous traditions around the world, and as a practioner of some of those traditions … I have taken a teeny bit of poetic license with the legend of the Ancient Puebloans that built the cliff dwellings in the Four Corners area of the southwest United States as they ‘may’ pertain to Anasazi (Frank Hopkins).

Sylum Inspiration: Cicero
Integridad: Lead Hunter
Cicero has always stayed close to Maximus, but kept his distance at the same time. He mostly takes care of the home and ranch in Trujillo.
He works with the horses as much as Maximus does.
The General also took time to Train him to be a Hunter specifically for Azeem, as Maximus and Quintus worked for the Council.

Wiki Update: New Look & New Characters
The Sylum Wiki Blog has a new look!!
We’re always trying to find better ways to view, sort and find things you need to enjoy the Sylum Universe. The Wiki basically got a simple facelift, making it slightly easier to view, the set up is still the same.
NOTE: At this moment Wiki Index Page is broken, the program that runs the index hasn’t been updated to the latest wordpress. When it’s up and running again we’ll make another announcement. In the many time – use the SEARCH field to search for characters … we’re building an extensive index list in the background that will make things easier to find.
We’ve recently removed characters: A few were do to adjustments in their storyline, and others do to the actor playing the role ended up on the ‘oh hell no list’, pulling other characters associated to their bios with them. We’ve also changed the image of at least one character for the same reason.
Reminder: The ‘oh hell no list’ is actors/actress that stood against the basic principles we showcase, and would probably took offense to all things Sylum, and we work hard to keep Sylum a safe place, plus lets not anger the ‘powers to be’.
We’ve also added five new characters over the past few months, though these don’t directly replace the ones removed they do added more diversity to Sylum.
Characters Removed:
Tallikut Clan:
Timothy Taylor
Jill Taylor
Brian Kenny
Justin Taylor
Image Changed:
Dirk Pitt
Bios Removed Pending Changes:
Catherine Willows
Clavo Cruz
Ramon Cruz
Sean Boswell
Ellis Cochrane
Characters Added:
Tallikut Clan:
Victor Henricksen – Tuckercat your timestamp just became the 4th story in the Carry On My Wayward Son Series … so it may take longer to get written than anticipated. At the moment Pirates are in the way 🙂
Mod Kin Clan:
Sanguen Vitae Clan (India):
Medjai Clan:
