Many are the travelers who set their eyes on the lofty, treacherous heights of Suspended Peak, though not all of them have the endurance to make the climb. Here, halfway up the mountainside, travelers who have made it this far can stop, take respite and celebrate their long journey’s successes, in the mirage of Half Hung Peak. Here, you’ll see revelers tied in elegant contortions, some of them on the ground or tied to the architecture, others in various states of partial suspension, but none who have both toes off the ground – that’s a special privilege for the denizens of Suspended Peak. All of the activities here are spread beneath the watchful eye of The Artist, the Lady and stern, protective taskmistress of Half Hung Peak.
The Artist made her way delicately through the winding streets of Half Hung Peak, her silk slippers soundless on the clean-swept pavement. Her eyes scanned the revelers fondly, as they tied one another into beautiful art forms all along the path. She stopped where two men were knelt, one tying the other into an intricate harness that laced in and out across his thighs and over his rear. She slid two fingers beneath the rope where it pulled taut against the bottom’s groin, then shook her head slightly, her crop whistling through the air to land on the would-be rigger’s shoulders, then setting about showing him how to retie the knot with the proper tautness. He attended carefully, head hung low. Everyone knew that The Artist’s crop was never gentle, but her disapproval was the real sting.
Half Hung Peak Quests
Interest in Half Hung Peak
To claim this quest:
The world of rope is vast and challenging. For those who seek a quick study that they can master with little effort, cuffs and bondage tape offer immediate gratification with little threat for consequence. But for those who are in awe of the heights of the mountain, who want to undertake a long, satisfying journey to learn a new skill that offers a lifetime’s worth of variety and challenge, Rope Bondage can be a rewarding pursuit. If you are intrigued by Rope Bondage and are looking to learn what The Artist would teach, you can claim this quest.
Put In The Work
To claim this quest:
The Artist knows that rope bondage can be a physically challenging enterprise. Denizens of Half Hung Peak wake up before first light each morning (or shortly after the sun rises to the rapid sting of The Artist’s crop!) They gather in the square and at the Artist’s relentless direction, they stretch and tax their muscles to prepare for a long day of tying. Whether rigger or bottom, we can all benefit from putting some effort into making sure our bodies can meet the demands we make of them. Bonus points if you or a partner play The Artist’s role (with or without riding crop.) To claim this quest, define a ritual to strengthen your core or increase your flexibility, then carry it out for a month.
Futomomo
To claim this quest:
The Artist will tell you that various harnesses are most of the work that happens, here on Half Hung Peak. But before she teaches any chest harnesses, which have the potential to restrict breath, or seat harnesses which can get dangerously close to the groin, she likes to start with another kind of harness that can serve her students when they reach Suspension Peak, but also can be entertaining here at Half Hung Peak – the Futomomo harness. Futomomo is a harness that secures the ankle of the bottom to the thigh. Master this harness so that you don’t have to look at any instructions to tie it, and you can claim this quest (and perhaps a slight nod of approval from The Artist.)
Chest Harness
To claim this quest:
The Artist keeps her composure cool and unruffled at all times. It’s part of how she inspires such attentive tension from her students at all times. She would never admit the thrill that races through her pulse when she is tying a neat, taut harness on one of her well-trained bottoms. A chest harness is not just another important skill for those who plan to keep climbing the mountain in hopes of one day reaching suspension peak. A well-tied harness can provide some restraint, some gentle restriction of breath, and a solid point for tugging a willing (or misbehaving) bottom close. Choose a chest harness that you like and learn to tie it until you can do it comfortably without instructions and you can claim this quest!
Seat Harness
To claim this quest:
The Artist loves the swelling curves of the lower half of the human body. A well turned ass, the reactions pulled from a touch, a kiss or her crop between the thighs. Little brings her more pleasure than tying a good, solid seat harness, and toying with the varied pressures of the rope, and the heady tug of metered body weight. Choose any seat harness and master tying it until you can reproduce it with no instructions. Once you do that, you will have earned The Artist’s respect and the right to claim this quest.
Partial Suspension
To claim this quest:
After a long, arduous journey of lessons, The Artist gives a final test to her students before allowing them to continue up through the city gates, along the mountain pass toward Suspended Peak. They must tie one of her well-trained bottoms, with one leg suspended and the other still resting on the ground. It sends a thrill of pride through The Artist to watch her once-clumsy students as they tug and check, steady and focused in their efforts. If you can’t undertake the training at Half Hung Peak, beneath The Artist’s stern tutelage, please be sure to exercise the same level of caution and skill that she would expect of any of her students in earning this quest.
