GS4-QUILIC:

"A letter for you, Or-resh," said the solemn-faced young Iyo. As Socius looked up, the young woman bowed her head and proffered a sealed envelope. With an inward sigh at the protocol, Socius accepted the letter and nodded his dismissal. He knew that if he did not, the Shadow Warrior would remain until released, however long that may take.

It was how he had trained them, after all.

Once he was alone once more, Socius opened the letter and perused its contents.
----
''Socius,

''You once taught me that regrets were worth less than an empty breath formed of the same air. I will offer no apologies for my words, or my tone, when last we met. You are who you are, and it would be folly to think that I could change you. But you must remember that you helped me become the person I am today, and it would be a similar folly on your part to think that I would change in the face of your... disapproval.

''Since that meeting I have sought advice from all corners. You also once taught me a lesson about leaders. I wonder if you even recall your words? 'A leader is responsible for understanding every piece they place on the board, for once they are placed, there can be no turning aside.' I remember being so confused at the time, but I always remembered those words. Years later, I believe I understand what you meant.

''You are a killer, Socius. You never claimed to be anything but that, much as some of us wish that you were... more. All your skills in stealth, espionage, and other shadowy arts are bent towards that purpose. I believe I understand this particular piece, and when I look across the board, I have come to believe that I know where you must be placed.

''Hunt, Socius. This is how best you can help your former home, and those you once thought might be your friends. Go out, find the Hyssch. Find the Hounds. Find the Circle. Find the Center. And kill them.

''I grieve at the necessity of this request. There might be so much we could learn from a prisoner. There may be mitigating circumstances, or reasons for mercy. But those are not concepts you are capable of understanding. Again, folly to think that your motivations could be turned aside for any sort of greater good.

''So hunt, killer. Do what it is you do.

''May the Arkati have mercy on me.

''~Administrator Zofiya<br>
''Mist Harbor
----
Socius closed the letter once he had read it through twice. He placed it carefully in a pouch on his belt, and drew his dagger. He held it up to his face, until its blade obscured his vision entirely, then slowly closed his eyes, taking a long breath and letting it out with an involuntary shudder. He let the blade drop as he opened his eyes, and pursed his lips, letting out an intricate trill of whistled notes. Before he had finished, two Iyo had slipped in the door and another through the window. None had made a single sound.

"Gather. We hunt," the Or-resh said in a flat tone. With no more noise than they had made with their entrance, they were gone once more. The Or-resh expected nothing less.

It was how he had trained them, after all.

GS4-QUILIC: /* Official Vignettes */

==Summary==
Fire started behaving oddly on [[Mist Harbor]] in January, including burning much hotter and faster than it should. In the wake of this, the [[Stumbling Pebble Bar II]] bore a brief investigation, its own fireplace victim of the unpredictable flames and bearing an odd symbol. Individuals wearing red and orange cloaks were reported to have trespassed in [[Iyo]] territory, and adventurers learned about the existence of a cult, the Hyssch (translated from Iyo to "Eternal Flame"), which was attempting to acquire what the Iyo were protecting. Since then, a massive fireball devastated an Iyo village within the jungle. [[Uhlen]], a crafter and trader among the Iyo, and [[Kiyonna]], a researcher who has grown to be accepted among the Iyo, have shared some insights into the nature of the Hyssch, its Circles, and those targeting the Iyo.

GS4-QUILIC: Created page with "Zofiya strides in, muttering under her breath. Kalyrra grins at Rohese. Rohese stands up. Yardie says, "I hope to investigate more about Andos. Hoping that I get a lead......"

Zofiya strides in, muttering under her breath.

Kalyrra grins at Rohese.

Rohese stands up.

Yardie says, "I hope to investigate more about Andos. Hoping that I get a lead...or clue...something."

Yardie glances at Zofiya.

Speaking to Rohese, Kalyrra says, "You, as well."

Trallihn's sentient potato whistles a jaunty little ditty!

Speaking warmly to Zofiya, Rohese greets, "Administrator."

Rohese nods in greeting at Zofiya.

Kalyrra nods to Zofiya in greeting.

Sirona just arrived, striding along.

Trallihn quietly grunts at Zofiya in greeting.

Zofiya apologetically says, "If you would bear with me for a moment, I need to get this thought down while it's fresh in my brain."

Sirona smiles.

Rohese smiles at Sirona.

Rohese nods in greeting at Sirona.

Sirona quietly says, "Afternoon all."

Yardie hugs Sirona, who wraps him in a warm embrace.

Sirona gives Yardie a friendly hug.

Rohese nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Kalyrra nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Speaking to Sirona, Yardie says, "Good to see you."

Zofiya sits down at her desk and quickly begins to scribble on a parchment, muttering all the while.

Rohese finds an empty space on a bench and settles into it.

Sirona smiles at Yardie.

Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink.

Speaking quietly to Yardie, Sirona says, "You as well."

Zofiya lays down her quill with a sigh, then looks up with a somewhat shaky smile.

Zofiya apologetically says, "Thank you. Again, my apologies for the rudeness."

A blue-stippled bark brown moth suddenly grows restless and detangles itself from Trallihn's beard. It makes its way up, up, up to traverse the bare skin of Trallihn's face. He reaches up quickly as though to catch the annoying critter, but the moth simply reverses course and nestles back down into his facial hair once again.

Sirona whispers something to Yardie.

Rohese smiles at Zofiya.

Sirona smiles at Zofiya.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese reassures, "No need to apologise, I'm sure you have much to deal with."

Kalyrra agrees with Rohese.

Speaking respectfully to Rohese, Zofiya says, "I was well pleased to hear from you, Loremaster. We do not cross paths nearly often enough, it seems."

Rohese smiles at Zofiya.

Speaking kindly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "My thoughts exactly."

Sirona finds an empty space on a bench and settles into it.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "I just wish it was under better circumstances."

Zofiya gives a small smile, which quickly slides away.

Zofiya nods in agreement at Rohese.

Sirona nods slowly.

Sirona takes a drink from her warm sylvan tea.

(Rohese lowers both hands into her lap, cradling her warm lavender tea in them.)

Zofiya quietly asks, "I have some news to share, but it can wait. Did you have something that you wished to discuss?"

Rohese glances around the room.

Speaking to Zofiya, Trallihn asks, "Any word on the coffee order?"

Trallihn idly digs in his ear with his forefinger for a moment. He pulls his finger out and squints at some earwax stuck to his fingertip. For some reason, he sniffs at it before casually rolling the earwax into a tiny ball between his forefinger and thumb. Looking satisfied, he flicks it away with a grunt.

Speaking to Zofiya, Yardie says, "I...it's been difficult to find any leads. It's rather frustrating."

Kalyrra grins at Trallihn.

Speaking tentatively to Zofiya, Rohese says, "I was hoping to speak with you about whether the Chronomages had reconsidered their deadline."

Sirona shudders.

Zofiya slowly empties her lungs.

Sirona glances between Rohese and Zofiya.

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Zofiya seriously says, "I have yet to hear baack from them, honestly. The last communication was that the deadline stands."

Rohese lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Zofiya quietly says, "And I have received some troubling news from the Iyo, as well."

Zofiya closes her eyes for a moment.

Rohese inclines her head.

Kalyrra cocks her head at Zofiya.

Speaking to Zofiya, Yardie asks, "How troubling?"

Speaking concernedly to Zofiya, Rohese asks, "Oh?"

Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink.

The sound of a hacking cough emits from Trallihn's tattered filthy towel.

A mixture of confusion and curiosity crosses Sirona's face as she studies Zofiya.

Zofiya quietly says, "Trader Uhlen has sent me a rather... formal letter. It would seem that there was some issue with Kiyonna recently, and relations are... very strained. The bottom line of the communication was that for now we should consider the Iyo as neutral, but we have been requested not to journey into Iyo territory, for our own safety."

Rohese furrows her brow.

Kalyrra nods slowly at Zofiya.

Zofiya slowly empties her lungs.

Sirona raises an eyebrow.

Yardie knowingly says, "The accusation."

Speaking carefully to Zofiya, Rohese says, "That is unfortunate."

Zofiya tiredly says, "It seems as if there are fires to put out in every direction lately."

Yardie mutters, "She snitched."

Zofiya blinks at Yardie.

The grey cocklebur hanging from Trallihn's neck suddenly flares a bright shade of green.

Rohese glances between Yardie and Zofiya.

Speaking quietly to Yardie, Sirona asks, "What do you mean?"

Sirona glances at Yardie.

Speaking to Zofiya, Yardie says, "My...assumption? She was accused of the fires....and that might have led to this circumstance."

Speaking softly to Yardie, Rohese asks, "Snitched is a rather unpleasant term, what can you possibly mean?"

Rohese raises an eyebrow.

Zofiya nods slowly at Yardie.

Speaking neutrally to Yardie, Zofiya says, "I heard much the same from Brank, just this morning. The letter arrived soon after."

Sirona looks thoughtfully at Yardie.

Rohese takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of her nose.

Sirona quietly says, "Hmm."

Kalyrra ponders.

A slight wince crosses Trallihn's face as he gives a light tug of his beard.

Zofiya tiredly says, "I have now added 'Repair relations with the Iyo' to my list of impossible tasks."

Rohese looks at Zofiya with concern.

Sirona quietly asks, "So where is Kiyonna now? Still with the Iyo?"

Speaking kindly to Zofiya, Rohese offers, "If there is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask."

Speaking to Sirona, Zofiya says, "I believe so. I have no reason to believe otherwise, and given the current climate, I don't think it likely we will know for certain."

Zofiya nods appreciatively at Rohese.

Yardie quietly says, "That complicates matters."

Sirona nods slowly at Zofiya.

Speaking apologetically to Rohese, Zofiya says, "My apologies, you did not ask for this meeting to hear my troubles."

Speaking hastily to Zofiya, Rohese reassures, "Not at all, I merely wish to help in ensuring the future of the Isle for all concerned."

Kalyrra grins at Rohese.

Zofiya nods understandingly at Rohese.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese confides, "I have grown rather fond of the Library."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink.

Speaking to Rohese, Zofiya says, "Indeed! We'll find a way forward... I just don't know for sure what it will be yet."

Speaking hesitantly to Zofiya, Rohese adds, "May I offer a suggestion?"

Rohese bites her lip.

Zofiya nods encouragingly.

Zofiya says, "Please do."

Trallihn's sentient potato whistles a jaunty little ditty!

A low thrum and grind of gears emanates from Trallihn's second-rate case.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese acknowledges, "This is purely my opinion and I may be wrong but it would seem to me that the priority right now is the issue with the Chronomages."

Zofiya nods slowly.

Kalyrra nods at Rohese.

Zofiya says, "It does appear to be the most imminent trouble, I suppose."

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "After all, nothing can be done to allay the differences with the Iyo or deal with the Hyssch if we are no longer permitted on the Isle."

Rohese shrugs slightly.

Zofiya nods understandingly at Rohese.

Sirona agrees with Rohese.

Sirona gazes thoughtfully at her warm sylvan tea.

Sirona takes a drink from her warm sylvan tea.

The sound of a hacking cough emits from Trallihn's tattered filthy towel.

Speaking tentatively to Zofiya, Rohese suggests, "Perhaps press for a meeting with them again and be honest with them - share your troubles and fears with them."

Zofiya turns an inquisitive ear toward Rohese.

Sirona nods in agreement at Rohese.

Rohese softly says, "I am always telling my husband that honesty is the best policy, even if it makes you uncomfortable."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Trallihn nods to a torn and tattered filthy towel covered in questionable stains.

Kalyrra grins.

A blue-stippled bark brown moth extricates itself from the depths of Trallihn's beard. It sets out across the vast expanse of his facial hair like a mountain goat traversing the Dragonspine. Despite a few slips and missteps, it perseveres until reaching the other side where it triumphantly burrows its way down in once again.

Rohese surreptitiously glances at Trallihn.

Zofiya flashes a warm smile, which fades quickly, but her features appear slightly more relaxed.

Sirona quietly says, "Best to keep communications open..."

Speaking to his tattered filthy towel, Trallihn says, "Aye, coffee prolly would help everyone's mood."

Rohese agrees with Sirona.

Kalyrra adopts an agreeable expression.

Speaking quietly to Zofiya, Sirona asks, "Are you still in contact with Socius at all?"

The shaved rat on Trallihn's shoulder makes a sudden flying leap, apparently trying to gain access to the top of his head. Muttering under his breath, he manages to herd the recalcitrant rodent back to his shoulder.

Yardie says, "It's a good idea."

Speaking quietly to Sirona, Zofiya says, "I am not. We haven't... I haven't spoken to him directly since he left, unfortunately."

Rohese inwardly sighs.

Sirona nods slowly.

Rohese regretfully murmurs, "Such a shame."

Trallihn says, "Ordim left a message fer'im.... but no word that I've heard."

Giving only a quick glance around, Trallihn reaches and scratches at one of his armpits.

Speaking quietly to Rohese, Zofiya says, "While I do appreciate honesty, what purpose might that serve? They are already well aware of our situation, I would think."

Rohese nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Speaking quietly to Zofiya, Sirona says, "But they might have more to say on it."

Sirona quietly says, "If you haven't spoken to them directly."

Speaking clearly to Zofiya, Rohese states, "They wish to reclaim the Isle but there won't be an Isle if the Hyssch have their way."

Rohese agrees with Sirona.

Sirona quietly says, "Seems the more heads are put together, the better chances a positive outcome might be."

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese speculates, "I do wonder if they might be willing to ..."

Rohese points at Sirona.

Sirona shrugs nonchalantly.

Rohese softly exclaims, "Exactly!"

Zofiya nods slowly.

Sirona quietly says, "If we need to doster better relations you can really only do that with positive interactions."

Rohese softly posits, "What is time to a Chronomage anyway, I do not understand their sense of urgency."

Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink.

Sirona quietly says, "Preferrably without ..accusations."

Rohese smiles.

Rohese agrees with Sirona.

Speaking slowly to Rohese, Zofiya says, "That... is a rather intriguing idea..."

Rohese smiles at Zofiya.

Yardie asks, "Do the Chronomages have a concept of time?"

Speaking quietly to Yardie, Sirona says, "I would think so."

Speaking softly to Yardie, Rohese says, "Unlikely."

Speaking to Yardie, Kalyrra says, "When it pleases them, I'm sure."

Sirona chuckles.

Sirona grins at Kalyrra.

Sirona nods in agreement.

Kalyrra grins.

Zofiya thoughtfully says, "Forgive me... I am lost in thought at the possibilities. So we could... explain to the chronomages that the Hyssch are actively working towards destruction of the Isle..."

Rohese agrees with Zofiya.

Zofiya thoughtfully continues, "And they would be well served to let US deal with this problem..."

Yardie quietly muses, "Perhaps the volcano is the timer."

Kalyrra ponders.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "Stress that the security of the Isle of greater import to them."

Sirona quietly says, "I mean...or perhaps work with us...."

Sirona nods at Rohese.

Zofiya thoughtfully concludes, "The issue might be that they will simply return as soon as the Hyssch are dealt with? They still are reclaiming the Isle, after all."

Kalyrra nods slowly.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese acknowledges, "It's a possibility, yes, but you will have more time to consider that thorny problem."

Sirona quietly says, "Inless we find some other way forward it would seem so..."

Yardie asks, "So if the island is cleared, they will remove the Hyssch at the same time, yes?"

Sirona quietly says, "Unless."

A slight wince crosses Trallihn's face as he gives a light tug of his beard.

Rohese cocks her head at Sirona.

Sirona quietly says, "Well...we haven't found another heir."

Speaking softly to Yardie, Rohese says, "I suspect they will leave the problem of the Hyssch to us, they are not known for being helpful."

Zofiya slowly empties her lungs.

Sirona quietly says, "But I still think there is one out there...somewhere."

Rohese smiles at Sirona.

Sirona shrugs innocently.

Speaking softly to Sirona, Rohese says, "So we buy more time to find one."

Speaking to Sirona, Yardie asks, "One...what, exactly?"

Sirona nods slowly.

Zofiya slowly says, "I believe the idea has some merit... if I can get them to agree to a meeting."

Sirona quietly says, "Perhaps..."

Sirona nods in agreement at Zofiya.

Zofiya slowly proposes, "Let me... run a slight variation by you all?"

Rohese inclines her head.

Sirona looks thoughtfully at Zofiya.

Kalyrra turns an inquisitive ear toward Zofiya.

Sirona takes a drink from her warm sylvan tea.

Zofiya slowly says, "Perhaps... we negotiate slightly more forcefully. If I can convince the Chronomages that we would rather side with the Hyssch and destroy the Isle rather than return it peacefully..."

Rohese bites her lip.

Sirona raises an eyebrow.

Speaking to Zofiya, Yardie says, "That's....a gamble."

Sirona quietly says, "Uhh...hmmm."

Speaking reticently to Zofiya, Rohese says, "It's risky but it has merit."

Sirona glances skeptically at Zofiya.

Zofiya slowly concludes, "Then that might give us more leverage, to negotiate for better terms? Perhaps even assignation of the Isle to another family?"

Kalyrra glances at Yardie.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "Not an option I would consider but it's not my place."

Speaking quietly to Zofiya, Sirona says, "I don't think I could be a part of that."

Zofiya carefully asks, "If time is indeed not much of an issue for them... what is it to wait out another bloodline?"

Sirona folds her arms over her chest.

Zofiya nods understandingly.

Yardie says, "If you did that, you'd need Ordim and Talinvor. I can't make that bluff...not anymore."

Zofiya softly says, "Perhaps that is too far of a jump."

Rohese agrees with Zofiya.

Yardie says, "Those two however? Rotten to the core."

Sirona nods firmly at Zofiya.

Zofiya slowly empties her lungs.

Speaking understandingly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "I can see why you would wish to go that route but it's distasteful."

Zofiya tiredly says, "More time would be very welcome, I'll admit. I will do as you suggest, and request another meeting with Vellosior."

Speaking quietly to Zofiya, Sirona says, "Perhaps just be honest and explain the situation with the Hyssch."

Zofiya nods slowly.

Rohese agrees with Sirona.

Rohese softly repeats, "Honesty is always the best policy."

Rohese takes a drink from her warm lavender tea.

Zofiya softly says, "I do not mind sharing that my thoughts are turning more desperate as the hour draws near."

Yardie nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Zofiya softly says, "Thank you for the advice. I should not wish to give up that which makes us who we are for the sake of 'winning'."

Speaking gently to Zofiya, Rohese advises, "And you clearly need to get some sleep."

Zofiya gives a wan smile.

Kalyrra agrees with Rohese.

Yardie asks, "There's....been no word on Greth?"

Speaking quietly to Rohese, Zofiya says, "I shall sleep when I'm dead, Loremaster. I just pray that I am kept waiting for quite some time yet."

Rohese shakes her head at Zofiya and clucks her tongue.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese chastises, "You'll be no good to anyone if you're tired and can't think straight."

Trallihn's tattered filthy towel shakes back and forth for a short couple of moments.

Speaking softly to Yardie, Zofiya comments, "My father..."

Zofiya clears her throat.

Speaking quietly to Yardie, Zofiya says, "Greth has not been seen, nor heard from."

Rohese places a hand over her heart.

Rohese closes her eyes for a moment.

Rohese lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Yardie nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Zofiya clears her throat.

Zofiya brusquely says, "But I am sure that he's doing well."

Zofiya closes her eyes for a moment.

Trallihn's sentient potato whistles a jaunty little ditty!

Rohese quietly says, "Let's hope so, he is sorely missed."

A slight wince crosses Trallihn's face as he gives a light tug of his beard.

Rohese takes a drink from her warm lavender tea.

Trallihn grunts at Rohese in agreement.

Kalyrra nods firmly.

Yardie says, "I wish there were more leads."

Zofiya quietly says, "Indeed. He was the heart of this Isle, and his loss is sorely felt on a daily, if not hourly, basis."

Zofiya slowly empties her lungs.

Sirona furrows her brow.

Rohese firmly exclaims, "And we can't allow Ordim to sequester the bar in the name of the Penguin again!"

Kalyrra grins at Rohese.

Sirona quietly says, "We need to start searching for him."

Speaking quietly to himself, Trallihn says, "Heart o'the isle... anchor..."

Trallihn ponders.

Rohese agrees with Trallihn.

Speaking amusedly to Rohese, Zofiya says, "I believe Mal would take offense at that. He and Brank are at least somewhat known to each other."

Sirona looks thoughtfully at Trallihn.

A low thrum and grind of gears emanates from Trallihn's second-rate case.

Rohese smiles at Zofiya.

Trallihn squints.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "Good to hear. The Stumbling Pebble is in safe hands for now then."

Rohese smiles quietly to herself.

Rohese takes a tiny sip of her warm lavender tea, warming her lips and making sure it's cool enough to drink.

Zofiya stretches her back, eliciting a series of wet pops.

Rohese glances over at Zofiya and winces.

The grey cocklebur hanging from Trallihn's neck suddenly flares a bright shade of green.

Speaking to Trallihn, Yardie says, "Pashtal made a reference to the heart of the isle...said similiar."

Zofiya softly says, "I thank you all for the advice, and the suggestions. I appreciate more than I can say that I have so many that can help me from going too far astray. My teacher always told me that it was critical to seek those individuals out and let them guide me."

Speaking to Trallihn, Yardie says, "Meaning Greth."

Rohese resignedly says, "I should probably return to the Library. Books don't tidy themselves after all."

Trallihn nods at Yardie.

Zofiya nods understandingly at Rohese.

Speaking to Yardie, Trallihn says, "Seems the coffee is more important than any o'us thought."

Trallihn ponders.

Kalyrra grins at Zofiya.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "As I said, please don't hesitate to reach out if I can help at all."

Speaking resignedly to Rohese, Zofiya says, "And I need to send some more letters, it would seem."

Rohese smiles at Zofiya.

Zofiya nods understandingly at Rohese.

Speaking softly to Zofiya, Rohese says, "Yes, you do."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Sirona nods understandingly.

Speaking to Yardie, Trallihn asks, "We got some beans in the Falls... ain' the greasy stuff Greth imported, but wha' is?"

Rohese takes a drink from her warm lavender tea.

Quiet gurgling issues from Trallihn's tattered filthy towel.

Sirona glances uneasily at Zofiya.

Sirona stands up.

Sirona sighs.

Rohese stands up.

Speaking to his tattered filthy towel, Trallihn says, "Aye... I guess we could bring some beans."

Speaking quietly to Zofiya, Sirona says, "Get some rest."

Zofiya quietly exclaims, "If you all will excuse me, I do need to get to work. Please let me know if anything arises in the meantime, please!"

Speaking to Trallihn, Yardie says, "I may have to take Spinnerette to the Folly if we do not solve this dilemma."

Zofiya nods in agreement at Sirona.

Rohese nods understandingly at Zofiya.

Trallihn nods at Yardie.

Speaking quietly to Sirona, Zofiya says, "I will do my best."

Zofiya stands up.

Kalyrra nods at Zofiya.

Rohese kindly says, "I wish you all a good afternoon."

Rohese smiles.

Genuine warmth filling his yellowed eyes, Trallihn sweeps low in an extravagant bow, one hand going to his blackened stew pot to keep it in place. As he straightens up, he runs a hand over each of the mismatched handles sticking out from either side of it, eddies of nebulous black sparks flying free as he adjusts them.

Zofiya smiles at Rohese.

Kalyrra grins at Rohese.

Trallihn raps soundly upon his chest with a clenched fist.

Sirona smiles.

Zofiya says, "As will I. Thank you all for coming."

Sirona waves.

Straightening her back, Rohese gives a formal, low curtsy. She inclines her head as well, giving a brief nod.

Sirona strides away moving out.

Zofiya raises a hand in farewell.

Zofiya strides out.

==Summary==
Fire started behaving oddly on [[Mist Harbor]] in January, including burning much hotter and faster than it should. In the wake of this, the [[Stumbling Pebble Bar II]] bore a brief investigation, its own fireplace victim of the unpredictable flames and bearing an odd symbol. Individuals wearing red and orange cloaks were reported to have trespassed in [[Iyo]] territory, and adventurers learned about the existence of a cult, the Hyssch (translated from Iyo to "Eternal Flame"), which was attempting to acquire what the Iyo were protecting. Since then, a massive fireball devastated an Iyo village within the jungle. [[Uhlen]], a crafter and trader among the Iyo, and [[Kiyonna]], a researcher who has grown to be accepted among the Iyo, have shared some insights into the nature of the Hyssch, its Circles, and those targeting the Iyo.

2023-09-11T22:42:01Z

GS4-QUILIC: Created page with "You quietly greet, "It is good to see familiar faces. Thank you all for coming." You clearly state, "In my opinion, it is high time that we share some information with you r..."

You quietly greet, "It is good to see familiar faces. Thank you all for coming."

You clearly state, "In my opinion, it is high time that we share some information with you regarding the Hyssch, Hexah'Jing, and the Isle itself."

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Moshari agrees with you.

Sirona examines you closely, sizing you up and taking note of all the details.

You confess, "This opinion has been met with some resistance, but it has been agreed that I may share some details with you all, in the hope that we might all work to keep the world safe from the Ancient Filth."

Jaderain takes a moment to observe you.

Kalyrra turns an inquisitive ear toward you.

Sirona nods understandingly to you.

Sirona folds her hands in her lap.

Moshari turns an inquisitive ear toward you.

A spider descends on a dragline from Moshari's web-worked bracer. Its slender legs twitch as it spins in midair.

You quietly say, "I ask that you all try to understand that the Iyo are... resistant to change. We have an ancient purpose, and it has long been felt that allowing outsiders any influence would... dull our effectiveness."

Myharl just arrived.

Myharl waves to Yardie.

Sirona looks thoughtfully at you.

Kalyrra nods to Myharl in greeting.

Sirona nods slowly to you.

You continue, "That said, if you will indulge me, I will provide a general recap of the events until now, then let you know what I may about what has occurred since last we spoke, and what the Iyo believe is the best path forward."

Sirona smiles at Myharl.

Myharl smiles at Sirona.

Jaderain nods slowly to you.

Moshari nods to you.

Moshari takes a few deep breaths, fists clenched at her sides.

Moshari appears momentarily unsettled and uncomfortable before the tension abruptly bleeds away from her.

Lady Starletdawn just arrived.

You carefully begin, "Hyssch is an Iyo word, though I am unaware of a direct translation to Common. Others have termed the small factions of Hyssch that seem to arise from time to time as 'Circles'. Each Circle is made up of five members, one of whom is considered the 'Center' of the Circle."

Starletdawn selects a spot on one of the cushioned benches and settles into its soft cushions.

Yardie waves to Myharl.

Yardie gives Myharl a friendly hug.

Myharl gives Yardie a friendly hug.

Jaderain nods in greeting at Myharl.

Inclining his head, Myharl lifts his right hand in greeting to Jaderain, the motion drawing attention to the tower signet ring on his right middle finger.

You carefully continue, "In our legends and records, these 'Circles' arise with troubling regularity, and their goal is always the same: to break the Great Seal and allow the Ancient Filth, Hexah'Jing, to come to the surface, scorching the world as it did in the world's infancy."

Sirona nods thoughtfully to you.

Jaderain furrows her brow.

Myharl raises his eyebrow, the lustrous onyx rings set within only enhancing his skeptical expression.

You simply continue, "The Iyo stand opposed to the Hyssch, and in generations past, created the Great Seal, hiding the Isle, and indeed the surface world, from the Ancient Filth."

Moshari inhales deeply upon her pipe, puckering her lips and sending out one ring of smoke before her briefly.

You seriously say, "The Hyssch have returned once more, and have resumed their efforts to locate and destroy the Seal. It would, quite simply, mean the end of the Isle... if not the world."

Jaderain blinks at you.

Sirona glances about with a look of concern on her face.

Yardie says, "Always magic....always power."

You seriously say, "The Iyo were able to apprehend a member of the current Circle, and have kept the individual incarcerated. The Circle are unable to harness any of their... abilities... while they are incomplete, but the Iyo firmly believe that they will soon be back to full strength, having replaced their missing member with a new devotee."

Sirona nods in agreement at Yardie.

Moshari nods.

Yardie mutters, "That was fast."

Sirona quietly says, "Ahh...it was a member."

Yardie nods at Sirona.

Sirona quietly says, "Hmm."

Yardie says, "One of the 5...or 6 I believe."

Myharl confusedly asks, "But, why? What's their agenda beyond... destruction?"

Myharl shifts his weight.

You seriously say, "It is the belief of the Iyo heads of families that the recent activity from the mountain at the center of the Isle is the result of the indoctrination of a new member of the Circle, and them testing the limits of their abilities."

Sirona glances between Myharl and yourself.

Jaderain frowns.

Sirona quietly says, "Huh."

Kalyrra nods slowly to you.

Sirona thoughtfully taps a finger against her lips.

Speaking quietly to Myharl, you say, "Simply that. They have served the Ancient Filth since time before Iyo legends began, and always the same... they seek to release Hexah'Jing's primal rage, allowing it to run rampant and scorch the world once more."

Sirona quietly says, "That is not good at all."

Myharl nods slowly.

You seriously say, "While I have not been present for much of the questioning of the prisoner, I am assured that they have not said anything of value, choosing instead to rant and wail about the injustices of the Iyo and the forthcoming eradication of all who dwell on the Isle of the Four Winds. The inquisitor can be quite..."

You try hard not to grin.

You quietly continue, "Persuasive, but has yet to gather any useful information."

Yardie blinks.

Myharl appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Moshari frowns.

Sirona furrows her brow.

Jaderain flatly asks, "Apologies. Do they seek to control this...Filth once they release it?"

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "What do they rant ...what about the injustices of the Iyo? What does that mean?"

Speaking seriously to Jaderain, you say, "If so, then they are sorely mistaken. Hexah'Jing was there at the beginning of creation, birthing fire and char into the still-forming world. To see that terror released on the current world is... impossible to envision."

You seriously say, "The Iyo have watched the activity from the mountain extremely closely, as it is rumored that one day it will explode, and that day will be the return of the Ancient Filth to the surface world."

Sirona nods understandingly to you.

Jaderain huskily offers, "We might consider that loosely. It seems difficult that more than a few people would want to commit suicide to set the world on fire."

Myharl deeply says, "Unless the don't know anything individually... the best way to keep a secret it not to let any one person know beyond their part."

Myharl ponders.

Jaderain looks thoughtfully at Myharl.

Speaking quietly to Sirona, you say, "The Hyssch have always cast the Iyo as enemies, proclaiming that we are preventing them from service to their... deity, I suppose."

Speaking huskily to Myharl, Jaderain says, "Good point."

You grimace.

Yardie nods at Myharl.

Myharl nods slowly.

You reassuringly say, "The Iyo stand vigil over the Great Seal, and I can assure each of you that it is completely intact, and remains hidden from the Hyssch. The activity from the mountain is notable, and a cause for some concern, but so long as the Seal remains, Hexah'Jing is unable to emerge."

Myharl glances at you.

Myharl nods grimly.

Jaderain confidently says, "My limited experience with the Iyo leads me to believe they will guard the Seal."

You say, "The Hyssch still seek the Seal, but... they are unaware even what form it takes. There are a number of... false leads in place, and not even the first of those has been breached."

Sirona looks lost in thought.

Jaderain nods once to you.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "False leads?"

Jaderain smiles.

You nod in agreement at Sirona.

Jaderain huskily says, "The Iyo are fond of making sure that things are not always as they seem."

Jaderain smiles.

Speaking quietly to Sirona, you say, "Avenues which... would seem to lead towards the Great Seal. Indeed, in some cases there is an... object at the end of the trail which could easily be believed to be the actual Seal."

You flash a quick grin at Jaderain.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona says, "Well that is good I suppose. But they were able to find another member to replace the last."

Moshari chuckles to herself.

Jaderain huskily whispers aloud, "Like musical instruments appearing to be on fire when one plays them."

Sirona nods understandingly to you.

Jaderain appears to be struggling to keep a straight face.

Speaking quietly to Sirona, you agree, "Indeed. Our concern is that this... Circle... will cause untold damage in its quest to find and destroy the Seal. There are many, many stories of similar events happening in the history of the Iyo."

Sirona glances at Jaderain.

Sirona nods slowly at Jaderain.

Speaking to Sirona, Yardie says, "I suspect they will kill the prisoner."

Speaking amusedly to Yardie, you say, "The inquisitor will... resist any such efforts."

Jaderain raises an eyebrow.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona says, "I certainly hope so. It would not benefit anyone to do that."

Speaking to you, Yardie says, "Oh I don't mean the Inquisitor...but...in my line of work, you keep people from talking by...making sure they can't."

Speaking simply to Jaderain, you say, "The Or-resh has returned to the Isle, and has dwelt with the Iyo for a time. It is he that has handled the prisoner on our behalf."

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "What do we know of this prisoner, anyway? Who is...he or she?"

Sirona nods understandingly at Yardie.

Jaderain huskily asks, "How can we help the Iyo and the Or-resh?"

Speaking quietly to Yardie, Sirona says, "I thought that might have been what you meant."

Speaking agreeably to Yardie, Myharl says, "Any cult bent on destruction likely values life very little. I think you're probably correct."

Jaderain nods in agreement at Yardie.

Sirona nods at Yardie.

Yardie nods understandingly at Myharl.

Speaking seriously to Jaderain, you say, "The most important thing is to find and neutralize the Center. Without them, the Circle will fall and dissolve."

Jaderain huskily says, "The center."

Jaderain ponders.

Sirona nods at Jaderain.

You seriously continue, "I have been in contact with Administrator Zofiya, who assures me that all efforts have been made to locate this individual, but there is precious little to go on at this juncture."

Jaderain nods once.

Kalyrra nods understandingly to you.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "This prisoner has not lent any evidence to locating others?"

Moshari breathes in deeply as she clenches a pipe in her mouth, then exhales slowly, causing some pale amorphous clouds of puffy smoke to float up from her mouth.

Speaking seriously to Sirona, you say, "Not as yet. I believe the Or-resh intends to deliver the prisoner to the Harbor in the near future, that they might be questioned here."

Yardie nods to you.

Kalyrra cocks her head.

Jaderain looks thoughtfully at you.

Sirona nods.

Sirona quietly says, "That would be a good thing."

Sirona glances at Kalyrra.

You quietly say, "If the Center can be located... and neutralized... then we may once again rest safe in the knowledge that the Ancient Filth will remain sealed away for a time."

You close your eyes for a moment.

You quietly say, "That is what we all desire most, but there is another, related, matter."

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Jaderain turns an inquisitive ear toward you.

Moshari raises an eyebrow.

Myharl ponders.

Sirona glances uneasily around the room.

Ambient light catches on Moshari's web-worked bracer, revealing the intricate web of ultrafine silk wrapped around the surface.

You seriously say, "There is a tome. Or a scroll. Or a book. Always, when the Hyssch arise, this is the root. We must locate the Center... and this... book, whatever form it may take."

Jaderain frowns.

Sirona glances at Yardie.

Kalyrra nods slowly.

Sirona quietly says, "A tome."

Sirona quietly says, "Hmm."

Jaderain huskily asks, "Do we know anything about this item that makes it stand out, or appear different?"

Jaderain ponders.

You seriously say, "Some Iyo believe that these... guides... are what cause the formation of the Circle. They are always in the possession of the Center, and our legends say that they are where the Center gains the knowledge needed to form a Circle, and pursue the Great Seal."

Jaderain nods understandingly to you.

Jaderain rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Sirona quietly asks, "Oh the book is in the Centers possession?"

Jaderain nods slowly at Sirona.

You quietly say, "Many, many iterations of the Hyssch have fallen, and had their guides summarily destroyed. Of note... they always appear to be completely blank when viewed by any Iyo involved with the process."

Jaderain raises an eyebrow in your direction.

You simply say, "But there is always another guide. And another Circle."

Jaderain looks lost in thought.

Sirona quietly asks, "Another Circle?"

Sirona scratches her head.

Yardie blinks at you.

You seriously continue, "So while it is paramount that the Center be located and neutralized... their guide must also be neutralized, else another Center immediately step forward."

Jaderain huskily says, "They must multiply faster than moulis."

Jaderain mutters under her breath.

Sirona nods at Jaderain.

Sirona quietly says, "Seems so."

Speaking to you, Yardie asks, "I presume this is a guide....a recent one. Something that appeared in the last few months?"

Sirona quietly says, "They recreate the circle..."

You quietly say, "In Iyo legend, there is only ever one... guide... at a time. When it is destroyed, it is years, if not generations, before another rises to notice."

Jaderain nods in agreement at Sirona.

Sirona nods to you.

Myharl deeply says, "So all we need to do to save the Isle is find someone we don't know who has a book with nothing written in it..."

Myharl ponders.

Jaderain grins at Myharl.

Jaderain chuckles.

You simply say, "Where they come from, what they contain, and why they keep being recreated... we have nothing but guesses."

Sirona nods slowly at Myharl.

Jaderain nods slowly to you.

Sirona slowly empties her lungs.

Yardie says, "....let's hope it's a different book."

Myharl concernedly says, "I think we'll need to get creative with questioning."

Sirona nods at Myharl.

Jaderain huskily asks, "And direct the questions to those that are not familiar to us, perhaps?"

Jaderain ponders.

Speaking seriously to Myharl, you say, "I believe that may be the reason for the Or-resh bringing the prisoner here. The Or-resh has stated that they are... loath to do such things any longer."

Jaderain looks thoughtfully at you.

Myharl nods slowly to you.

Yardie asks, "Are the O-resh like the Iyo? The krolvin? Or are they another race of natives in the isle?"

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "Why?"

Sirona nods at Yardie.

Speaking huskily to you, Jaderain says, "Perhaps we can ask questions in a manner that would cause the prisoner to want to answer."

Speaking monotonously to Yardie, Moshari says, "I have assumed it is the torturers title."

Moshari shrugs at Yardie.

Jaderain nods once at Moshari.

You seriously say, "The Iyo are not a warlike people. We fight when we must, in defense of our families and our home. But make no mistake. This is a war that has been fought for generations, and the stakes could not be higher. We will not shie away from our duty."

Sirona nods respectfully to you.

Myharl yanks his shimmering dagger from a secret compartment in his black alloy vambraces and wields it menacingly.

Myharl glances at a shimmering dagger with a spiral wyrdshard embedded in the blade in his hand.

Speaking grimly to his shimmering dagger, Myharl says, "Creative."

Speaking to Yardie, you say, "The Iyo use the term 'resh' to indicate the founder of a Family. The Or-resh founded the 'Or' family, many years ago."

Myharl almost seems to be stabbing himself as he thrusts his shimmering dagger into a secret compartment of his black alloy vambraces.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Yardie says, "Ahhhh. Now I understand."

Moshari chuckles to herself.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona asks, "And what is the Or-resh family's service to the Iyo?"

You quietly say, "I apologize, but I run short of time. I will be... more present in the coming weeks. We must be proactive, rather than reactive, and the Iyo wish to assist in those efforts."

Sirona quietly says, "I know the families all have thier roles."

Jaderain nods understandingly to you.

Sirona nods understandingly to you.

A pale white aura dances across Moshari's web-worked bracer.

Yardie says, "I don't recall if it was the Or that were killed in the fire."

Speaking huskily to you, Jaderain says, "Thank you for speaking with us today."

Moshari nods.

Speaking simply to Sirona, you say, "They are the... shadow warriors. They operate from stealth, and infiltrate when they can, and kill quietly when they must."

Yardie blinks.

Sirona nods understandingly to you.

Jaderain glances at Yardie.

Yardie glances at Kalyrra.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona exclaims, "Thank you!"

Kalyrra looks thoughtfully at you.

Jaderain grins at Yardie.

Moshari chuckles to herself.

Kalyrra glances at Yardie.

You glance at Kalyrra.

Uhlen nods very slightly.

Jaderain glances at Kalyrra.

Kalyrra nods at Yardie.

Jaderain grins.

Ambient light catches on Moshari's web-worked bracer, revealing the intricate web of ultrafine silk wrapped around the surface.

Moshari breathes in deeply as she clenches a pipe in her mouth, then exhales slowly, causing some pale amorphous clouds of puffy smoke to float up from her mouth.

Jaderain stands up.

Jaderain bows to you.

Myharl grunts to you in tribute as he bangs his fist sharply upon his black alloy platemail in a barbaric salute.

Kalyrra nods slowly to you.

Moshari nods to you.

Speaking quietly to you, Sirona says, "Thank you so much for coming to speak with us."

Yardie bows to you.

You say, "Thank you very much for coming, and I will see you again soon."

OVERIVEW

Hello there, intrepid adventurer! This iron gizmo is a Junk Bomb item. These items allow you to weightlessly store 5 kinds of treasure system junk and use it as ammunition/shrapnel via a giant, perfectly safe explosion! The item may hold up to 30 of each item and each shot consumes up to 30 charges to deal damage to a target. For each item consumed, 1 cycle of damage is inflicted.

VERBS

LIGHT - ignite the gizmo and set it to fire.
DISARM - disarms the gizmo and stops it from firing once it has been LIGHTed.
TINKER - repairs the gizmo after it has fired.
TURN - rotates to the next cylinder for firing.
PUT - drop a junk item into the device, storing it for future use.
RUB - Fluff.

MECHANICS

When the you LIGHT the gizmo, it will ignite for 5 seconds. After those 5 seconds, it will fire and shoot 5-30 pieces of shrapnel at your target (or a random creature if you're not targetting anything.) The damage severity is based on item type and moldy bones will leave behind a Death Cloud (1712) while tattered cloths will leave behind a room Web (118).

Currently, the gizmo contains:
0 / 30 Chipped Bricks
0 / 30 Table Legs
0 / 30 Rusty Doorknobs
0 / 30 Moldy Bones
0 / 30 Tattered Cloths

The gizmo may currently fire 1 times per day. It is currently fixed.

ALTERING

This item may be freely altered but must remain consistent with the script: it should be an item that has multiple cylinders to load items into that spin around a central axis. It should be in good operating order but may show signs of wear-and-tear.

| You pull a small cord on the back of your iron gizmo. After a brief moment, it begins to sputter and hiss while a voluminous amount of smoke begins to pour out of it.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader"|Disarm
| Working quickly, you throw the iron gizmo's firing mechanism open and smother the smoldering powder contained within. With a final huff of smoke, the gizmo goes quiet and still once again.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader"|Tinker
| You carefully check your iron gizmo, realigning the firing mechanism and ensuring that all of the cylinders are in perfect operating condition. Once the gizmo is reset, you lift it to give its aim one final check. With a nod of satisfaction, you lower your gizmo once again.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader"|Turn
| You carefully turn a small knob on your iron gizmo, and with a small series of clicks, the body of the gizmo rotates as well, bringing the chamber for Chipped Bricks to the forefront, pressed against the detonator. You make a mental note that the current chamber has 5 pieces of potential ammunition available.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader"|Put
| You carefully load a chipped brick into your iron gizmo, watching with interest as the internal mechanism spins rapidly to the correct chamber, then spins back to its initial starting point.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader"|Rub
| Using the heel of your palm, you rub the surface of your iron gizmo in quick circles in a vain attempt at cleaning it. Despite your efforts, the gizmo remains surprisingly grimy.

Premium transport jewelry

2023-07-19T23:03:21Z

GS4-QUILIC: /* Messaging */

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
In order to get to [[Mist Harbor]] on the [[Isle of the Four Winds]], a premium member must have a piece of '''teleportation jewelry'''.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==Analyze==
'''Default Messaging'''
<pre{{log2}}>
The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a Premium transport jewelry item. It has the capability of transporting you to Mist Harbor. It is currently set with default messaging.

A merchant can alter this item with a long description or a show. The worn location cannot change.
</pre>
<br>
'''Custom Messaging'''
<pre{{log2}}>
The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a Premium transport jewelry item. It has the capability of transporting you to Mist Harbor. It is currently set with custom messaging. This item is set to message with option 25: Frost.

A merchant can alter this item with a long description or a show. The worn location cannot change.
</pre>

==Usage==
When {{boldmono|[[TURN]]}}ed while within a public area in any town, these jewelry items will teleport the wearer to a random point within the town of [[Mist Harbor]] (which is accessible only by this method). The return trip will return the character to their last non-Mist Harbor location exactly. These items of jewelry are available in a special location (often a table) [[Premium teleportation jewelry#Locations|located]] inside the Four Winds Hall in their town. Once used, they are attuned to the claiming character. If you {{boldmono|[[RAISE]]}} your jewelry, you will unattune it, allowing you to give them to other Premium members. Different patterns and item types are available in various towns.

A person can have as many of these teleportation jewelry items as they want, and they can be used both while worn or while held in the hand. The {{boldmono|[[DROP (verb)|DROP]]}} command will let you properly dispose of unwanted jewelry. Special teleport [[Premium teleportation jewelry#Messaging|messaging]] is available via merchant, and a [[Premium teleportation jewelry#Grounding|grounding]] service (to teleport to a specific location in Mist Harbor) can also be performed by a merchant for citizens of Mist Harbor only.

There is no wait period between uses to transport to Mist Harbor.

The wearer can {{boldmono|[[LOOK (verb)|LOOK]]}} at the jewelry to ascertain its status. When there is an event going on at the Isle of the Four Winds, {{boldmono|LOOK}}ing at the jewelry will show it blinking as if trying to get its owner's attention.

===Grounding===

Teleportation items can be grounded so that a person will always teleport into the same room in Mist Harbor each time the item is used. Grounding can only be done by a merchant and is only available to premium members. Players will be able to select from the following options upon being selected by a merchant:

===Messaging===
Messaging can be changed by merchants, either one specializing in transportation jewelry, or those who offer general alterations. Some shops may also sell transportation jewelry with custom messages already set. Options 17-22 are only available at [[Ebon Gate]]. Options 33-37 were released at the [[Spitfire]] and are not normally available. The carousel option only applies to the [[intricately painted tin carousel]] earned from the Key to the Midway quest from Ebon Gate when it took place at Feywrot Mire. All other options should be available for selection from merchants that are working on transportation jewelry (Options 1-16, 23-32, and 38-60).

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|Sudden gusts of wind swirl around you, trailing wisps of vapor that rapidly obscure your vision. The wind whips past your head, coupled with flashes of light that add to your sudden disorientation. As quickly as it began, however, the winds fade away and you realize you are not where you were.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|A brisk breeze swirls around your hand for a moment, then surrounds you with a comforting embrace. The winds carry numerous sounds that echo as though from a far distance. You make out the fierce cry of a hawk, the soothing whistle of a mourning dove, and the laughter of children. With a gentle thump, your feet touch the ground and you suddenly realize you've been suspended by the winds and your surroundings have changed.
|A sudden breeze blows through the area, carrying the faint cry of a hawk and the call of a mourning dove. Streams of vapor coalesce briefly into a small cyclone that fades away as quickly as it formed, leaving Kaikala before you wearing a slightly disoriented look.

A sudden shudder down your spine forces you back to reality, and as you glance around, you notice that you are no longer where you were.
|A sudden gust of wind swirls through the area, gathering dust and debris into a miniature sandstorm. The particles rapidly coalesce into flesh and blood, leaving Kaikala before you.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|A single mote of multi-hued light appears in mid-air and begins to swirl around your hand. It is quickly accompanied by dozens and then hundreds more which join its dance and encircle your body. You reflexively close your eyes from the brightness of the dancing lights, but can still feel pressure building on your skin. The pressure suddenly dissipates and you open your eyes again to see that your surroundings have changed.
|A single mote of multi-hued light blinks into existence and begins to quickly swirl in a circular pattern. It is soon joined by dozens, and then hundreds, more. Their dance rapidly gains speed and a silhouette appears in the middle of the phosphorescent swirl. The motes suddenly flash brightly and vanish, leaving Jainna before you, looking a bit disoriented.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|A dense fog rolls into the area, surrounding you and concealing the visible world from your eyes. A chill runs down your spine as you sense that you are moving at a high rate of speed. As quickly as the fog and sense of motion overwhelmed you, they leave, and as your eyes adjust to the new light, you see that your surroundings have changed.
|A dense fog rolls into the area, then suddenly dissipates, revealing the form of Kaikala as it finally vanishes.

!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|8. Seagull Experience
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|You close your eyes and sense a sudden disconnect from your body. A warm breeze now rushes across your face, and the moist scent of sea water fills your nostrils. You open your eyes to find yourself soaring in a thick, fog-like haze over an open sea. A circling flock of seagulls accompanies you on your voyage. With a sense of natural instinct you cry out a resonating, "Swah!" to your fellow gulls and thrust your feathered wings outward. Suddenly, the miasma becomes thicker, and your surroundings obscure and shift before your eyes. You find yourself once again standing upon solid ground, and with a bemused gaze, you slowly lower your outstretched arms.
|A whirling bluish-gray mist quickly coalesces nearby, and from within you hear the distant "swahing" of seagulls. After a moment, the mist dissipates, leaving the lingering scent of seawater and Kaikala, who stands in place of the miasma with her arms widely outstretched. With a bemused gaze, she slowly lowers her arms.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|The faint scent of seawater eddies upon a swift, warm breeze as a cloud of whirling bluish-gray mist envelopes Kaikala. Moments later the mist completely dissipates, leaving in its wake only the fading resonance of "swahing" seagulls. Kaikala is nowhere to be seen.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|You turn your (ITEM) idly. It begins to emit a low-pitched hum. You sense something appear behind you, and you turn around. Suspended slightly above the ground is a closed driftwood door. It opens, revealing a far-off town. Inexplicably, you are drawn towards the open door. You stumble through the opening, crossing the threshold. The door slams shut behind you. As your eyes adjust, you notice your surroundings have changed. A glance backwards confirms the door has vanished as quickly as it appeared.
|A low-pitched hum fills the air. A driftwood door appears, floating slightly above ground level. Suddenly the door opens, revealing the scenery of a distant town. As Sherlise stumbles through the doorway, her hand on her (ITEM), the door slams shut and vanishes, leaving no traces of its existence.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|A faint breeze stirs your hair, and along with it you catch a faint array of smells that relax you in a most comforting way. In an instant all of your surroundings start to spin out of control, making everything a blur. When all comes to rest, you realize you are in a new location.
|A small whirlwind races into the area, and before there is time to feel the full blast of its ferocity, it dissipates into nothing, leaving Jainna standing in its place!
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Jainna's eyes stare into the distance, and a slight smile touches her lips. Out of nowhere a whirlwind starts at her feet and grows larger, until she is completely enveloped. As quickly as it appeared, the whirlwind vanishes, leaving no trace of Jainna.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|Cracks begin to form in your skin, and pieces of you fall away to shatter on the floor like fine porcelain. Momentary panic begins to set in as a numbing sensation suffuses you. Just as you surrender to the blackness, you realize you are whole again, but not where you once were.
|Shattered pieces of porcelain arrive on an errant breeze and begin to assemble themselves before your very eyes. As the last pieces fit into place, they reveal Naionna, who now stands before you.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Tiny cracks begin to appear across Naionna's skin, pieces falling away and shattering on the floor like fine porcelain to reveal a void within. As the last piece falls, a gust of wind blows through the area, whisking the shards and dust away.
|-
!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|12. Fire
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|You hear the soft crackling of fire as flames lick at your feet and begin working their way up your body. The crackling soon becomes roaring, and you find yourself closing your eyes against unbearably bright light. Just when you think you may be deafened and blinded by the flames, everything suddenly goes dark and quiet. You open your eyes to find that your surroundings have changed.
|A column of fire appears out of nowhere. It roars briefly before blinking completely out of existence. In its place is Lydil.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|As Lydil touches his (ITEM), flames begin to lick at his feet. The flames grow larger and larger, until Lydil is completely obscured. Suddenly, the flames disappear. Lydil is nowhere in sight.

!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|13. Water
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|The sound of rushing water suddenly crashes around you in a cold embrace. A curtain of bubbling water erupts from beneath your feet, swirling upwards until it has wrapped you completely. Your vision of the world outside blurs and distorts through the aquatic curtain. After a breathless moment, a great gurgling noise sounds from beneath you as your vision clears and you find yourself somewhere else.
|The sound of crashing waves suddenly fills the area as a curtain of bubbling water erupts from the ground. The waterspout spirals upwards and the outline of a humanoid shape is visible within the aquatic column. With a great gurgling noise, the water drains away leaving Tamuz in its place.
|-

|The sound of crashing waves suddenly echoes from around Tamuz as a curtain of bubbling water erupts from beneath his feet, swirling upwards until it has wrapped his form completely.

|-
!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|14. Leaves
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|A sudden breeze picks up around you, carrying dozens of verdant green, burnt orange, and crumpled brown leaves. The whirlwind of foliage surrounds your body, and leaves begin sticking to your limbs. Small vines lash the leaves together and in seconds your entire body is covered and your sight is limited to nothing but a swirl of browns, oranges and greens. Just as quickly as it began, the whirlwind ceases, the leaves fall to the ground in puffs of smoke and you sense that your surroundings have changed.
|A sudden whirlwind of verdant green, crumpled brown, and burnt orange leaves blows into the area and begins swirling in a tight circle. The leaves arrange themselves into the rough outline of a humanoid shape, and with a bright flash of light emanating from between the cracks in the leafy cocoon, Jainna appears in a cloud of grey smoke.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|As you touch the surface of your thorned rose stickpin it begins to thrum and twelve metallic runes spiral out of the stickpin. The twelve copper, brass, bronze, silver, gold, and lead runes twist about you, forming a circle centered around your waist with each rune positioned equidistant from its neighbor. With a shimmering pulse the runes direct lances of silvery light to their neighbors, temporarily obscuring your vision. When the light subsides, you find yourself somewhere else.
|With a faint popping noise, twelve metallic runes appear in a small cluster in mid air. The runes quickly spiral outwards forming a circle of metal with each rune equidistant from its neighbor. A shimmering pulse of light runs through the circle before dissipating, revealing the form of Tamuz.

!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|16. Unraveling
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|Your hand brushes the thorned rose stickpin, and a faint tingling sensation creeps across your skin. The pins and needles dance across your body in a thin-edged lattice, quickly moving from hands to torso, and then down your legs. A blood red haze covers your eyes, concealing your vision. When the crimson mist dissipates, you find yourself elsewhere.
|A faint popping sound heralds the arrival of a cloud of blood red mist. Tendrils and strips can be seen whirling inside the crimson cloud at great speed. The movement within the cloud rapidly builds in to a humanoid outline. With a final shudder, Tamuz steps out of the mist, drops of crimson vanishing from his skin at a swift pace.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Tamuz touches his thorned rose stickpin and gives a slight shudder. A blood red mist surrounds him as his skin begins to peel from his body in thin strips. As the flayed skin unravels, the muscles, tendons, and ligaments beneath begin to unwind and vanish in to the crimson cloud around him. A final shudder runs through the cloud, and it vanishes with a faint popping sound.

!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"|17. Licking Mists
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|You lightly place your hand upon your (item) and feel the coldness of the piece seep into your palm. Slowly, a pale green nimbus begins to surround you, and you feel its misty tendrils licking at your skin and the air. It doesn't take long for the fragile stuff to completely obscure your vision, and disorientation is quick to follow, but the sensation passes along with the mist after just a few moments.
|Pale green mist begins to coalesce nearby, its fragile tendrils licking out at everything nearby. A sudden drop in temperature heralds the shadowy presence of something in the mist and then suddenly, the mist scatters in all directions to reveal Khorbin.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Khorbin places his hand over his (item), and tendrils of pale green mist begin to seep from where his hand touches it. Slowly, an eerie nimbus begins to surround him, and you can feel the cold of the misty tendrils begin to lick out at everything nearby. It is only a matter of seconds before Khorbin is completely obscured by the strange, fragile stuff and then, abruptly, both he and the mist are gone.
|-
!scope="row" role="rowheader" rowspan="2"| 18. Rising Spirits
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|Chill and foreboding, a faint zephyr rises from your feet as you place your hand upon your (item). Multiple pale shapes rise from the ground and begin to form the images of fallen comrades, some in tattered armor, and others in half-rotted clothing. They swirl in a miasmic whirlwind around you, their mouths parting in soundless moans. Soon, they surround you in frenzy and completely obscure your vision of the world, but the moments are fleeting and just as you begin to feel them press in upon your body, they scatter and you find yourself in a new place.
|Several pale spirits converge upon a nearby spot, their bodies displaying the signs of past ravages. Soldiers in dented armor, men and woman in tattered clothing, and even a pale child in a nightgown, all converge upon a single space. Their bodies exude a chill mist that condenses into a pale column, which suddenly parts to reveal Quilic. As quickly as they came, the spirits scatter to the winds.

After a few seconds of frenzied activity, the butterflies begin to land on you, settle into you, and make you more whole with each one.

|Modrian casually tosses a few beans to the ground before him. Within seconds, the little beans instantly bud and sprout, growing magically fast into a thick and tall vine complete with multiple dangling pods! Modrian grasps hold of the vine and is carried away out of sight. Moments later the vine vanishes completely, as if it had never existed at all.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|As your hand brushes over your (item), you realize the palm of your hand is full of a substance that feels a bit like tiny sharp crystals. A smile forms on your mouth as you fling the rainbow colored glittering dust over your head. You snap your fingers in a happy circle at the accompanying cloud of color that obscures your entire body. When the dust settles, you realize you're in an entirely new location.
|From nowhere, a smiling Lydil suddenly appears, posing and making a grand entrance through a dissipating cloud of rainbow colored dust.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Lydil gives a happy grin before flinging a cloud of glittering, rainbow colored dust into the air over his head. Before the glittering cloud completely obscures him, he gives a snap of his fingers. When the dust settles, he's gone.

|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Arrival
|rowspan="2"|As you turn your (item), pieces of sea glass begin to stack around you until they form a cylinder of stained glass. A brilliant light fills the space between you and the glass itself before it becomes too much, forcing your eyes to close in response to its brightness. When you open your eyes, you're somewhere else.
|Bubbling up out of the ground, small pieces of multihued glass enlarge, then stack one on top of another until they form a large cylinder that imitates the look of water. Steadily a light within illuminates the pieces and casts rippling shadows across the area briefly before it all shatters into tiny pieces. The subtle aroma of salt water drifts through the area upon an unexpected cool breeze and carries the pieces away like a mist, leaving Naiken standing there.

|Tiny pieces of multihued sea glass begin to stack around Naiken until he is completely concealed by a large stained glass cylinder with swirls of silver and oceanic hues.

You draw back in anticipation, but suddenly something grabs you from behind. As you instinctively cry out, you are lifted from your feet and violently pulled into utter darkness. When your vision returns, you are somewhere new.
|The area grows unnaturally dark, but in the shadows there is a flurry of movement as an obscured figure manifests. After a brief moment the area returns to normal, and the figure is revealed to be Khorbin. Wide-eyed and breathing heavily, he lurches forward unsteadily before composing himself.

|A tempest of viridian-tinged ebon flames surges to life, whirling around in a chaotic torrent of shifting balefire! As abruptly as they manifested, the blackened flames are extinguished and Naiken is standing where they once burned, a faint wisp of verdant smoke wafting languidly around him.

|The sound of delighted laughter heralds the surprise appearance of Quilic nearby, with a pink blindfold falling from his slightly dazed eyes before flying away on a brisk wind.

In an instant the roa'ter lunges forward, and your world is only darkness and the smell of rotten flesh for a long moment until light returns once more and you realize you are somewhere completely different.
|The ground beneath your feet begins to shake, and a low rumble can be heard. Breaching the surface of the ground, a massive roa'ter surges forth, thrashing about in distress. Freezing for a moment it hacks and coughs loudly, dropping a bewildered Lydil on his feet before reversing course and returning back the way it came, leaving no trace of its existence.

The weight around you presses in from all sides, as if seeking to saturate you with its essence while sapping your senses. When you return to yourself, you are somewhere completely different.
|A low rumble begins to hum, felt more than heard. A dark tear appears, ripping through space, as a large set of shadowy talons force their way through while clutching Modrian in their grasp. With a final shove, he is thrust forward and released, narrowly avoiding falling to his knees. As the fissure closes behind him, wisps of remnant shadow coil against his skin before darting along the lines of his features as they make their way across his face and seep into his eyes.
|-
|scope="row" role="rowheader"|Departure
|Modrian closes his eyes as a low rumble begins to hum around him, deep enough to hover at the edges of perception. The space behind him ripples, suddenly pierced from the other side by a coalescent mass of shadow manifesting as a massive taloned hand.

When you look again, you are elsewhere, the only reminder of your journey a thin wisp of smoke rising from your fingertips.
|A sudden gust of heat and a fitful greenish-black light herald the arrival of a balefire maelstrom. The pillar of lurid fire wavers, then flows like liquid along the dark form at its center.

Hyacinth (storyline)/The Storm (vignette)

2023-06-14T18:05:34Z

GS4-QUILIC: Created page with "Kiyonna loved a good storm. She nearly danced through the sheets of moisture, humming a wandering tune she made up on the spot, and marveled at the bright flashes of lightnin..."

Kiyonna loved a good storm. She nearly danced through the sheets of moisture, humming a wandering tune she made up on the spot, and marveled at the bright flashes of lightning and the tremendous rumbles of thunder that followed mere instants later.

She was brought up short by the appearance of one of the Iyo sentries. The young man dropped from a tree limb soundlessly, mere feet away from Kiyonna but not making a sound. Kiyonna blinked in surprise, then smiled as she recognized the sentry.

"Eskos," she greeted with a nod, which the man returned.

"You shouldn't have come this way, Kiy," he intoned, his face serious.

"What? Why not?"

"That's not something I can tell you."

Kiyonna set her hands on her hips and gave Eskos a stern look.

"What do you mean you can't tell me? What are you even doing out this way? Your family stays near the peak of the mountain."

Eskos sighed and gave Kiyonna a penetrating gaze.

"Not any more we don't."

Kiyonna eyed him speculatively for a long moment, then blinked in surprise as realization struck.

"You're the new guardians?" she whispered harshly.

Eskos didn't move a muscle, just regarded her steadily. After a few long moments, Kiyonna nodded slowly and took a measured step backwards.

"Will you... Is there anything I can do?" she asked tentatively.

"Forget you saw me here, and forget the path you took to get this far in the first place."

Kiyonna nodded gravely and turned to leave back the way she'd come, her enjoyment of the storm completely forgotten.
----
The storm covered his movements, not that he needed the help. The stranger darted from rooftop to rooftop, making acrobatic leaps and changing direction with the use of various poles and beams that he encountered on his journey. When he neared the center of town, he slowed considerably and found an outcropping on which to perch. There he crouched, his eyes vigilant despite the horrible storm. Rainwater streamed down his forehead and into his unkempt beard before filtering down the front of his bloodstained tunic.

There had been three today. He had been vigilant, and stopped them before they could accomplish their mission. Two were dead, and one... wished he was, but he would answer the stranger's questions after being given some time to think over his situation. The particular ambience of the room in which he'd awaken would see to that. It was imperative to know how much time remained... and what was being planned, if it could be ascertained.

For now, though, the stranger watched, as he had for weeks. He could be patient, when needed. And the current situation called for a quiet hand. At least until it could be determined who could be trusted. Then... well, then the hunt would begin in earnest.
----
Crash awoke with a start, his thoughts foggy behind a blinding headache as he spluttered, "Who?" before realizing he was alone. Though perhaps not entirely alone. He was tied to a chair with forearm-thick rope which had been passed around his legs, torso, and neck, leaving him nearly unable to move. He had some freedom of movement with his right hand, but a few moments of straining failed to bring any advantage or avenue to freedom.

A pair of forms became slowly recognizable a short distance away, themselves tied to chairs, though both were mostly hidden in shadows. The longer he stared, though, the more the tableau managed to swim into focus.

Bitter and Dive. Or what remained of them. All the parts were still there, he supposed, though it was impossible to make a full accounting. Still, all the important bits were present.

Stacked in each of their laps were their feet, hands, and head.

Crash screamed, his headache vanished in a fresh wave of panic, but the storm outside drowned out any noise he was capable of making. That did not deter him, however, and he screamed until his voice gave out. And then screamed some more.
----
Zofiya hated the office. She hated her desk, she hated the neverending line of people requiring her attention, and hated the fact that she was expected to leave her sword at home when handling town business. She longed to be out there, hunting as she'd been trained to do, and felt very out of her element.

She forced her attention back to her latest visitor, ashamed to realize that she'd missed his last statement. She mustered a smile and a nod, which seemed to appease the man.

"I'm glad you agree, Administrator," he said warmly. "I think it will be very well received amongst the townsfolk. I have spoken with as many as I might in the course of my daily work, and the consensus is fairly clear."

"Thank you, very much," Zofiya said, trying to drag her wits together and follow the conversation. What had she just agreed to?

"It is my consummate pleasure to be of assistance to the town, Administrator. I have lived here all my life, and am happy to help in any way that I can."

With that, the Center rose and gave a somewhat self-conscious smile, followed by a half-bow, and then he strode from the office. Once safely out of sight, his grin grew predatory, though it was well-hidden by the storm.

GS4-QUILIC: /* Official Vignettes */

==Summary==
Fire started behaving oddly on [[Mist Harbor]] in January, including burning much hotter and faster than it should. In the wake of this, the [[Stumbling Pebble Bar II]] bore a brief investigation, its own fireplace victim of the unpredictable flames and bearing an odd symbol. Individuals wearing red and orange cloaks were reported to have trespassed in [[Iyo]] territory, and adventurers learned about the existence of a cult, the Hyssch (translated from Iyo to "Eternal Flame"), which was attempting to acquire what the Iyo were protecting. Since then, a massive fireball devastated an Iyo village within the jungle. [[Uhlen]], a crafter and trader among the Iyo, and [[Kiyonna]], a researcher who has grown to be accepted among the Iyo, have shared some insights into the nature of the Hyssch, its Circles, and those targeting the Iyo.

"It doesn't matter what you suspect, the reality is that you have no idea!"

Zofiya's face was red with anger, but clear lines of exhaustion stood out against her youthful countenance. She knew she was out of line, but weeks upon weeks of uncertainties and half-confirmed reports had her at the end of her patience. There had been no real leads, but the name Hexah'Jing seemed to be on the tip of everyone's tongues these days. Kiyonna's revelation had shaken the residents of Mist Harbor to their core, and people were concerned... and looking to her for answers that she had no ability to give.

"Your pardon, Administrator. I just thought-"

"No, Memnole. I am out of line, and you have my apologies," Zofiya interrupted, her tones much softer through a concerted effort of will. "This has been stressful for all of us, and you are just doing your best to help. I should not have lashed out."

"Completely understandable, Administrator, and there are no apologies needed," the priest reassured.

Before either party could continue, a rapid knocking came against the Administrator's door. Zofiya frowned, then called, "I'm with someone."

"Administrator Zofiya, I come with urgent news from Trader Uhlen!" came a muffled voice through the door. Zofiya's eyes went wide, and she glanced to Memnole, whose expression mirrored her own.

"Enter," she called.

A page hurried in, clutching a faded parchment envelope, which he handed to Zofiya as soon as he was near enough.

"Thank you," the Administrator said distractedly as she examined the envelope. Seeing nothing amiss, she drew her belt knife and used it to slice through the wax seal, withdrawing the letter within. She read as she replaced the knife, then without warning leapt to her feet with a loud shout!

"They found one!" she cried. Memnole and the page each exchanged thoroughly confused looks, and when Zofiya noticed, she realized she needed to explain herself.

"Trader Uhlen says that they were able to apprehend one of the members of the Circle, and they have him locked away. She also says that there were a number of Hounds slain during the apprehension, and that the Iyo are quite certain that the Circle cannot continue their works until they indoctrinate a replacement. She further states that this is required to be a lengthy process, and that we now have a respite during which we can gather more information without fear of any further strikes from the Circle!"

Memnole and the page exchanged another glance, this time with cautious grins threatening to split their faces at any moment.

"Truly? The Circle is broken?" Memnole asked, his tones heavy with anticipation.

"For now," Zofiya cautioned. "They have no indication that they have apprehended the Center, and if the Center remains, they will of course be looking to re-close the Circle, but Uhlen implies that this process can take many weeks, and that is only after a suitable candidate is identified. It is highly likely that we have an extended period in which we can make preparations and continue our search for the other members of the Circle."

----

Uhlen gazed at the cloaked figure across from her with curious eyes.

"And you would have me believe that you did this without any thought of reward? I am aware of your nature, lawman."

The figure snorted, lowering his hood. The stern countenance of the Mist Harbor constable regarded her coolly.

"My compensation is none of your concern. Suffice it to say that I was employed to deliver one of the Circle to you, and I have already been compensated for such. My duty here is discharged, and I will be taking my leave," he said in a cold tone as he rose.

"Who paid?" Uhlen asked urgently as she also rose to her feet. "Who hired you to do this?"

"I do not discuss settled contracts," Mal said emotionlessly. He dipped his head in a short bow, then strode out of the hut without a backward glance.

Uhlen took her seat once more, her eyes on the far wall but her thoughts far away.

----

The goblet struck the flagstone hearth and shattered, sending a spray of expensive wine and fragmented glass across the crackling fire.

The Center stood in front of the fire, murder in his eyes as his chest heaved. They had been so close. Plans were in place, and he was certain they had nearly uncovered the location of the Seal. Now, though...

"Idiot!" he roared, placing his hands on the hearth and bowing his head. The veins stood out on either side of his neck and he fought to control his breathing. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the unyielding stone harder and harder. After an indeterminate time, he exhaled and straightened. He glanced over the mess at his feet and decided it would be someone else's job. The new maid was attractive enough, but her attitude had been troublesome from the outset. It would do her some good to clean up this mess, which would hopefully make her a little more appreciative of the easy duties she'd been given thus far.

----

"The contract is finished. Do not contact me again unless you wish to negotiate a new one. Remember my pricing."

The note was terse, but that was to be expected. So was the man, after all. Still, he had delivered, as the stranger had known he would. Greth had been clear about what to expect, to include Mal's unusual pricing scheme.

The first contract was negotiated in good faith, and generally fair. Each subsequent contract was negotiated off the price of the first, but with two zeroes added to the end. The first contract the stranger had negotiated with Mal had been somewhat straightforward, but this one had been costly. Any further contracts would severely strain the stranger's current resources, but the stranger was certain that it had been worth the expense.

The Circle was fractured. The Center was still out there somewhere, but that was the stranger's concern, not Mal's. The stranger would find the Center. It was only a matter of time.

==Summary==
Fire started behaving oddly on [[Mist Harbor]] in January, including burning much hotter and faster than it should. In the wake of this, the [[Stumbling Pebble Bar II]] bore a brief investigation, its own fireplace victim of the unpredictable flames and bearing an odd symbol. Individuals wearing red and orange cloaks were reported to have trespassed in [[Iyo]] territory, and adventurers learned about the existence of a cult, the Hyssch (translated from Iyo to "Eternal Flame"), which was attempting to acquire what the Iyo were protecting. Since then, a massive fireball devastated an Iyo village within the jungle. [[Uhlen]], a crafter and trader among the Iyo, and [[Kiyonna]], a researcher who has grown to be accepted among the Iyo, have shared some insights into the nature of the Hyssch, its Circles, and those targeting the Iyo.

Hexah'Jing

2023-04-18T16:37:07Z

GS4-QUILIC: Protected "Hexah'Jing": Official Document ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

{{Official-document}}
__noTOC__
The information below was shared by Kiyonna, a researcher living amongst the Iyo on the Isle of Four Winds. These documents were stolen from the Mist Harbor Library some years back, but have since been returned, and they are on file there.
----
Sleep well, sleep calm

Most Precious of the people

Let ocean breezes chase away

Thoughts of fire and ash

Hexah'Jing sleeps, his fire dormant

Expel thoughts of fiery rain and lakes of lava

Breathe cool air and be at peace

The Ancient Filth is far and still

Sleep easy, breathe light

Most Precious of the people

Worry not your mind with thoughts of fire

Rest peacefully the night through

~Rough translation of an Iyo lullaby by Palorus Leiffen

----

Before there was anything, there was Hexah'Jing, and it birthed flame into the dawn of the world, a white-hot grain of sand in the wheels of creation, scorching all it touched.

Hexah'Jing burned the world in its infancy, then claimed the inferno-lashed realms as its own while others of its ilk went about the business of crafting a world. Plants and animals were formed and flourished, but anything... beast, tree, flower, insect... that found its way to Hexah'Jing was incinerated. And so it was, and so it remains, but the hour draws to a close.

The Seal shall crumble. Hexah'Jing, the Ancient Filth, will rise once more to scorch the world.

~Iyo Prophecy, as dictated to K.L. Syl, Head Archivist

----

Hexah'Jing has been classified as a "Great" Elemental, though whether its core is one of Fire or Lava is unclear, given that there have been no actual sightings of the being itself in recent history. Almost the entirety of the available information is anecdotal, taken from folk tales and fables, but there is some uniformity in the details, and enough evidence has come to light to confirm both the existence of the being, and an approximate estimate of its power (Evidence Index #9b.3).

Hexah'Jing is believed to have its realm far beneath the Isle of Four Winds, and there are any number of cautionary stories told regarding the fate of those who find themselves there, though there is no indication of how one might travel there. Most of the stories agree that the great mountain at the center of the Isle will explode when Hexah'Jing arises, and the fact that there are no records of any eruptions to date merely indicates that it has not yet turned its attention towards the surface. In the interest of accuracy, extensive field research yielded no evidence of any prior eruptions, though fluctuations in the temperature of the ground lining the sides of the mountain clearly indicate the presence of magma beneath the surface (Evidence Index #9b.3a).

One other detail the stories agree on is that Hexah'Jing is not dormant, and a number of details have been uncovered to lend credence to this, but it does appear to be stationary. Extreme caution should be taken by any who venture to the Isle, but there does not appear to be an active threat, therefore this file is classified as 'Green', per standards.

~From the notes of K.L. Syl, Head Archivist

Kiyonna arranged for use of the Mist Harbor Library's Meeting Hall, and used the forum to share the secret that the Iyo have been keeping for generations:

Beneath the Isle of the Four Winds lies a Great Elemental, though it's uncertain if it is lava or fire at its core. The Iyo have hidden the Isle from it through the use of a Great Seal, which they guard with their lives. It is believed that if Hexah'Jing's focus were to turn to the surface, it would scorch the world in its entirety.

Kiyonna returned three pieces to the Library that she had taken some years back, explaining that the secrecy which had been paramount no longer existed, since the knowledge of Hexah'Jing had been shared. {These documents have been uploaded to the wiki as official lore}.

Kiyonna also spoke somewhat on the Iyo's feelings about death and spirits, and played a mandolin which was imbued with ethereal flames. She explained that the Iyo believe that those flames are the manifestation of kindly spirits that have passed on, but still remain close by in small ways.

"Excuse me, sir. Can I ask your business here?" The matron's voice was clear and well-enunciated. It carried the weight of authority, and made the target of her interest smile, just a touch.

"I come to see the new addition, as others before me. The orphanage seems very well-built," the man remarked neutrally, casting his gaze around at the architecture.

"Indeed. Though I must say, your interest has lingered far longer than most of the others. What is your specific interest? Is there something I can assist you with?" The subtext was extremely clear: How can I help you finish whatever your business is, so that you can leave?

Again the man's mouth tugged at the corners, though his beard hid most of the expression. Still, his eyes sparkled with a flicker of amusement.

"No, no. Nothing of the sort. It's good to see the Isle is in capable hands," he remarked.

"Then, sir, if you have no further business here?"

This time the smile broke through, and the man dipped into an elaborate, courtly bow.

"Watch over these young ones, Eira. They have been through more than any should at their ages. Take care that they are sheltered from any further suffering."

Before the matron could respond, the man turned and strode out without a backward glance. Eira felt a chill run up her spine. Everything about that man had set her teeth on edge. She calmed herself and let her grip relax on the small dagger she'd kept concealed against her wrist while they'd spoken.

She knew what it was to confront a stranger unarmed, and would never forget the lesson learned that dark night.

Some hours later, Eira was getting some of the younger ones ready for sleep when a gentle tap on the doorframe caused her to glance up from the book she was reading aloud. There stood the Administrator, and Eira thought to herself once more that it was uncanny how such a formidable individual could move so silently. Eira nodded to Zofiya, though did not pause her reading. Zofiya leaned against the doorjamb and listened along to the escapades of Piotr the Penniless, the star of this evening's narrative, as he wound his way through a series of ever-more-unrealistic coincidences until arriving back home, safe and sound. Eira tucked each of the little ones in once more, pausing to give one young girl whose eyes were shining with unshed tears a long hug. She then wished the room at large a good evening, and closed the door, ushering Zofiya ahead of her down the hall.

"What was the little girl's problem?" inquired the Administrator as they walked.

"Piotr is her favorite, but it always makes her sad. Her father used to read it to her, to the point that she knows every word of the story by heart. She always requests it, but it always makes her remember, too."

"Then why does she request it, if it'll make her sad?" Zofiya asked, genuinely curious.

"I asked her that same question the other evening. She said it's because she's not finished crying all the tears she needs to for her Daddy. She wants to hurry up and cry them all, so that the hurt will finally go away," Eira said. Her tone was even, but there was an undercurrent of strong emotion just beneath the surface.

Zofiya blinked at that, her own eyes welling slightly. Eira noted the reaction from the corner of her eye with some curiosity, then remembered that Zofiya herself had been an orphan.

"What did you tell her when she said that?" the Administrator asked, her voice husky with emotion.

"I told her that I would happily help her with whatever strategy she wanted to employ. So it's been Piotr the Penniless each night. And each night there have been fewer tears."

Zofiya nodded, though her expression was clouded over.

"Do you think that's wise? Maybe there's a better-"

Eira cut her off mid-sentence, her tone hard.

"That girl's lost everyone who ever loved her. Her father died in her arms. She's six years old. She is entitled to whatever comfort she can find, and I will do everything I can to help her. She doesn't need me to be a tutor, or a counselor. Thanks to the generosity of the town, those have been provided. My sole job is to make sure she knows, deep in her heart of hearts, that she is lovable, and loved. And I will do everything in my power to make sure that I do that job to the very best of my ability."

Eira finished her speech before she realized that she'd stopped walking, and had squared her shoulders to the much larger woman. She coughed slightly and relaxed her pose somewhat, looking away with a slight flush on her cheeks as an awkward silence settled over the pair.

"I'm so very grateful that you're here to take care of them," Zofiya finally said, her voice warm. "They, and we, are so very lucky to have you. If you need anything at all from me, or the town, just say the word and I will make it happen."

Eira looked up at the woman, noting the wet eyes and the wide smile, and felt a small smile creep across her own face.

"Thank you, Administrator. I shall."

The pair resumed their walk, the silence now far more companionable. As they reached the door leading back to the street, Zofiya spoke once more.

"I actually stopped by to ask if you had any information for me. I've been making the rounds and trying to see if anyone has seen any sign of this Circle in town. Have you noted anything strange? I know you've had a steady stream of visitors since the doors were opened. Anything that I should take a look at?"

Eira started to shake her head, then thought back to the man from earlier.

"There was... one man. He... set my teeth on edge," she began awkwardly.

----

Under the cover of night, the form slipped into the orphanage without being seen. Silent footfalls ensured that none of the slumbering residents were disturbed, and the two guards were easily avoided. Each was stationary, which was a basic tactical error that caused the interloper to purse his lips in disapproval, even as he took full advantage of their lapse. He wound his way through the structure, pausing often to scrutinize some detail of the construction, or to let fingers drift across a piece of furniture. He paused at the closed door to the room where the little ones slept, and rested one hand lightly against it. After a moment of stillness, he moved on.

He took his time, but finished his search at the matron's bedside. He regarded her quietly, standing stock still and watching her breathe for long moments. He leaned over finally, his nimble fingers sliding into the pocket of the apron she wore even in sleep and withdrawing her small dagger. He lifted it to eye level, scrutinizing it in the dimness before shaking his head slightly. Tucking the miniscule weapon away in his belt, he drew a curved blade of his own from a harness beneath his cloak. Leaning down once more, he slid the blade into the same pocket that had previously held the inferior weapon.

With silent haste, the interloper left the orphanage, easily avoiding the gaze of the guards. Once well away, he took the small dagger from his belt and took a closer look at it. A harsh chuckle broke from his lips as he stuffed the weapon into a sack on his belt. He started to stride away, but then felt the world tilt away under his feet as he was yanked backwards by the hair. The tip of a blade poked into his spine, and before he could get his bearings, his assailant was cheek to cheek with him.

"Do not speak. Do not move. Listen, or you die. Blink twice, slowly, if you understand."

The assailant's voice was cold and clear, and the trapped interloper had no choice but to comply. He blinked twice, even as he took a quick inventory of the weapons at his disposal. There were any number of implements he could use, but the presence of the weapon against his back made the odds of any of his plans succeeding long indeed.

"That building is off limits to you and yours. Never again let me see you there. Am I clear? Blink twice more if you understand."

"But I-" the man started to protest.

The assailant struck, savagely. The blade vanished from the interloper's spine, and the hilt of the weapon crashed into the back of his skull an instant later. Before the pain even began to register, the blade was replaced in the exact same spot as before.

"Do not speak," the assailant stated, his voice perfectly even. "Blink twice if you understand that the orphanage is out of bounds for you and yours."

The interloper's head was swimming, but he managed to blink twice.

"If you return, you will die, and will not see it coming," the assailant stated.

Then the assailant was gone. The interloper whirled, his head still swimming from the blow, but there was no sign of anyone on the street. His gaze drifted upwards, taking in the rooftops, but there was no movement to be seen there either. Rubbing his head, he made haste to the town's gate. It was time to leave.

----

Pashtal had been an idiot of the highest order.

That had been the Center's opinion from the beginning, but it had only made sense to give the deluded idiot a little assistance. There was nothing wrong with using a tool when it presented itself. Pashtal's plan had never had a chance of succeeding, but it had certainly furthered the ends of the Circle quite nicely. Indeed, they were finally complete, and the real work had at last begun.

"Good evening," a quiet voice said as its owner crept through the sitting room's door.

The Center stood, an easy smile on his face as he greeted the visitor. The pair embraced, then the Center indicated a comfortable chair near the fire as he retook his own seat, and the visitor settled in.

"What news, then? What brings you here this fine evening?" the Center inquired.

"Nothing too terribly impressive, I'm afraid. The townsfolk are flailing around, jumping at shadows in their search for us. And, not to put too fine a point on it, the real target of their search is-"

"Me," the Center interjected smoothly. He appeared more amused than anything at the notion.

"You," the visitor agreed. "Still, it's turned into a bit of a charade. There's been a somewhat steady stream of informants trooping in and out of the Administrator's office with 'tips', more often than not taking the opportunity to implicate their neighbors."

The Center chuckled at the thought, shaking his head in amusement.

"Let them search. It keeps them busy, and keeps us entertained," he remarked with a wry grin.

"Agreed," said the visitor. "Though I did have a question brought to my attention by... ah... the newest member?"

"Indeed. What inquiry does the little ember have?"

"She wishes to know what the plans are for the Harbor. She's skittish, and I'm truly not sure-"

"I am," the Center interrupted her once more. "She is but a small ember, but will erupt into flames with a little fanning. Assure her that her Harbor is safe. It is only the Iyo who stand in our way."

The visitor bowed her head in silent assent, then raised her head slightly to meet the gaze of the Center.

"What will she do when she realizes the truth?" she asked, her voice low.

"Die," the Center said simply. "At that point she will have outlived her purpose, and the Circle will be reformed stronger than ever."

The visitor bowed her head once again, then stood and wordlessly exited.

The Center poured himself a small drink from the crystal decanter on a small end table next to his chair, then sat and watched the flames dance in the hearth, a gleam in his eye and a slight grin on his lips.

Iyo/Naming

==Iyo Families and Naming==
====(As transcribed by Eslada L'Rae, a researcher imbedded with the tribe for several years, in early 5015)====

At first glance, Iyo naming seems fairly simplistic, with each family sharing a prefix, but looking beneath the surface reveals a surprising amount of depth to the practice. The Iyo do not retain their names for the entirety of their lives. Indeed, the name given at birth is always transient and not retained for very long once an Iyo has reached an age where they are able to "follow their roots," as the Iyo term it. While they are quite secretive about their language as a whole, this is the one phrase spoken openly and even explained. In their language it is pronounced: "Lhiss Sowshem."

Following one's roots can loosely be translated as “seeking your calling”. If an Iyo feels drawn to a particular skill or lifestyle they might seek out and join a family more oriented towards their particular desires. Each family has a specialty or two, and they all openly welcome new family members who share their passions. The Iyo regard themselves collectively as one large family of sorts, and there is no interfamily aggression.

For example, the Uh family is one that specializes in woodworking, especially when it comes to musical instruments. Their members will demur and claim that there are other families who do much finer work, but the Uh reputation is one that draws young Iyo to them. When an Iyo wishes to join the Uh family, they are given a new name, generally of two syllables, and begin their journey as a member of that family. They take up residence with their new family and begin to live the life that most appeals to them.

It is not uncommon for individuals to make this transition several times as they mature, and it is always a cause for joy as the community as a whole celebrates someone following their roots to where they are meant to be planted.

Families in the Iyo culture are started by an Iyo who seeks to pursue a particular skill or lifestyle. This Iyo chooses their leading syllable (Im, for example), then takes the suffix "-resh", thereby arriving at their own new name (Im-resh using the earlier example). As best I can ascertain, "-resh" in the Iyo tongue means 'guide' or 'leader', though these both feel lacking in some fashion, and I suspect the meaning goes deeper than either of those. Other Iyo who might join the new family would take their new name from the -resh's leading syllable. It is interesting to note that for each family there will only ever be a single "-resh", as the title is not inherited or passed down when the original "-resh" dies.

To date, only a handful of Iyo families have been identified:

The Uh family, as noted above, are talented woodworkers and instrument-makers. They also are rather clever tailors.

The Ah family are hunters and trackers and are one of the foremost crafters of firewheel weapons.

The Es family are poets, music-makers, and pacifists. They frequently 'sing for their supper', trading entertainment for food from the other families.

The Is family are farmers and are quite skilled at drawing all manner of crops from the rich soil.

The Ul family are gemcutters and miners who spend much of their time in tunnels under the mountain and fashioning beautiful jewelry from what they unearth.

When asked how many families there are, the common reply is, "as many as there need be."

The Ir family were regarded as 'sentinels', charged with guarding some secret that the Iyo keep hidden. This family was almost completely wiped out.

When asked how many families there are, the common reply is, "as many as there need be."

Premium Point costs

2023-03-21T19:52:22Z

GS4-QUILIC:

A [[Premium subscription|Premium]] GemStone IV subscriber is awarded 100 '''Premium Points''' per month as a loyalty reward (often referred to as PPs). Current number of Premium Points on any account may be seen using [[PREMIUM]] START. These points can be used to purchase many different Premium [[Long-term Benefits]]. See the Benefits page for official descriptions of services. This page will maintain costs and various notes.

Points can be exchanged for services including [[Script|scripted]] items, [[alteration scroll]]s, an [[autoscripter]], lightening or deepening of one item, type-ahead lines, [[enhancive]] items, [[custom script]]ing, adding [[flares]] to [[armor]], [[weapon]]s, and armor accessories, [[enchanting]] services, adding critical or damage [[padding]] to armor and a [[Society|society]] reset option.

Players often sell their PPs for [[silver coin|silvers]]. In these transactions the purchaser will have to give the seller the item as well as silvers so it is imperative that the seller be reputable. The average conversion range is approximately 4,000-6,000 silvers per PP. Larger blocks of PPs earn more silvers per point than smaller blocks, as they will be used for rarer or otherwise impossible to get services.

;Please note that the below is just to provide a general idea. The PCALC command in-game is generally the best bet for a good estimate, though it should be noted that the final price will always be calculated by the GM providing any Premium Scroll (Sadie) Services.

<small>''The range provided is based on a consensus of players in June 2015 and is only meant to give a general idea, not a firm price.''</small>

|}</onlyinclude>

==Additional Notes==
*Always use [[PCALC_(verb)|PCALC]] to get an estimate on the cost.

*Negatively enchanted items must be brought up to zero via normal means. For example: 500 points to bring a -10 item to -5, then another 500 points to bring -5 item to zero, then normal costs as described above.

*If the item has flares or special scripting (non-fluff), add 600 to the cost. If the item has padding or weighting, add (level padding/weighting) * 100 to the cost. If the item is a Defender item, add defender level bonus * 100 to the cost. If the item gives a bonus to TD, add TD bonus * 100 to the cost.

*[[Enchanting]] [[Adamantine]] costs double the normal points.

*[[Zelnorn]] carries the flaring surcharge. The new enchant will be based on the total [[Attack strength|AS]] + [[DS]] bonus and the +5 will be split between those qualities.

*For [[TD]] boosting items only the base enchant can be increased, not the TD bonus.

*For defender items, the defender bonus should be treated the same as TD as far as calculating the cost. The defender bonus prevents flares from being added.

*[[Resistance]] items with positive benefits cost 500 points per 10% resistance (rounded up). For items with multiple resistance types, add the resistance bonuses before applying this factor. Thus, (Sum of Resistance Bonuses (offset for penalties) / 10) * 500 points.

*[[Enchanting]], [[Flaring]], or [[Padding]] an [[Enhancive item]] will incur an additional premium point surcharge. The surcharge is: (Cost for [[Adventurer's Guild]] to recharge item) * (Enchant bonus of item) / 250. In the case of enchanting, the final enchant bonus of the item is used to calculate the surcharge, rather than the current bonus. [[Fusion]] items are considered enhancive items for this purpose. Empty fusion items are treated as costing 9000 to recharge. For instance, enchanting a set of +30 fusion armor without orbs to +35 would result in a surcharge of 1260 points, while padding or flaring the same set of +30 armor would result in a 1080 point surcharge.

*Temporary Enhancements do not incur any extra charges.

*[[1625|Paladin-bonded weapons]] should not incur any extra charges, but may calculate as such. Include the fact that it is bonded in the scroll.

===Functional Script Surcharges===

Complex scripts include, but are not limited to, Ithziri armor, Voln armor, and NerveStaves and have a flat 1200 point complex script surcharge.

Everything else (functional) is considered simple and has a 600 point simple script surcharge.

Fusion is still treated as separate from other functional scripts (see Additional Notes above).

==Troubleshooting==
*Not enough points. Use PREMIUM START to see how many points you have, and use the equations in PREMIUM 9 or PCALC to help you calculate. You may need to send a message to Sadie to confirm the point cost.

*Once you've chosen WRITE ACCEPT, your item should be delivered in the next 10 minutes or so. If that doesn't happen, it's stuck and you need to ASSIST in game and speak with a GameHost or GameMaster.

==Precalculated Premium Benefit Costs==

===Adding Flares===

Options: [[Fire critical table|Heat]], [[Cold critical table|Cold]], [[Lightning critical table|Electric]], [[Acid critical table|Acid]], [[Impact critical table|Impact]], [[Vacuum critical table|Vacuum]]

*Flare 0x (+0) item = 300
*Flare 1x (+5) item = 600
*Flare 2x (+10) item = 900
*Flare 3x (+15) item = 1200
*Flare 4x (+20) item = 1500
*Flare 5x (+25) item = 1800
*Flare 6x (+30) item = 2100
*Flare 7x (+35) item = 2400
*Flare 8x (+40) item = 2700
*Flare 9x (+45) item = 3000
*Flare 10x (+50)item = 3300

''Note: Partial enchants round up''

===Adding Heavy Critical or Damage Padding===

*Pad 0x (+0) Armor = 3200
*Pad 1x (+5) Armor = 3200
*Pad 2x (+10) Armor = 3200
*Pad 3x (+15) Armor = 3200
*Pad 4x (+20) Armor = 3200
*Pad 5x (+25) Armor = 3700
*Pad 6x (+30) Armor = 4200
*Pad 7x (+35) Armor = 4700
*Pad 8x (+40) Armor = 5200
*Pad 9x (+45) Armor = 5700
*Pad 10x (+50) Armor = 6200

===Enchanting Item (Base Cost)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 300
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 600
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 900
*Enchant 3x to 4x = 1200
*Enchant 4x to 5x = 1600
*Enchant 5x to 6x = 2000
*Enchant 6x to 7x = 2400
*Enchant 7x to 8x = 2800
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 3200
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 3600

===Enchanting Item with Spikes, Flares or Scripts (non-fluff)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 900
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 1200
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 1500
*Enchant 3x to 4x = 1800
*Enchant 4x to 5x = 2200
*Enchant 5x to 6x = 2600
*Enchant 6x to 7x = 3000
*Enchant 7x to 8x = 3400
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 3800
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 4200

===Enchanting Padded Armor===

The cost to enchant padded armor is the [[#Enchanting Item (Base Cost)|enchanting base cost]] + (padding points * 100).

As an example, the premium point cost to enchant a set of heavy critical padded (HCP) armor with a current enchant bonus of +30 (6x) to +35 (7x) is:

Enchanting base cost: 2400<br>
Heavy Padding: level 10<br>
Additional cost per point of padding: 100<br>

Total Cost: 2400 + (10 * 100) = 3400 premium points

''Note: The terms padding level and padding points are used interchangeably.''

===Enchanting Claidhmore (New Style Only)===

*Enchant 0x to 1x = 5000
*Enchant 1x to 2x = 6000
*Enchant 2x to 3x = 7000
*Enchant 3x to 4x = 8000
*Enchant 4x to 5x = 9000
*Enchant 5x to 6x = 10000
*Enchant 6x to 7x = 11000
*Enchant 7x to 8x = 12000
*Enchant 8x to 9x = 13000
*Enchant 9x to 10x = 14000

A massive fireball was glimpsed above the treetops, and Kiyonna reached out on ESP to ask people to rush to the aid of the Ir- family. She guided people to the shortcut that had been used previously, which had to be searched out. Once players arrived, they found a clearing in the jungle which had been burnt to a husk. Several huts ringed the area, but all were reduced to rubble save for one, which was barely standing. It was clearly total devastation, with no survivors.

Kiyonna confirmed through ESP that the coast was clear, and then made her way in. There were a number of clues in the area, each of which had to be searched out, but Kiyonna explained that it was clearly the work of a Circle. She explained that the Ir- family were the sentries, and this was their post. They guarded that which must remain hidden, and very likely died in that effort, at the hands of the Circle.

Kiyonna answered some questions, explaining that there is always a Center of the Circle, and that person is the leader. She also made clear that the Hounds are just 'people', though ones clad in foul-smelling and decaying animal pelts, who hunt at the behest of the Circle with a single-minded madness. She described the garb of the Circle (a crimson robe with flame-styled sleeves and their emblem on the chest), but made clear that the Circle operated as cowards, never letting themselves be seen if they could help it. She also related that the Iyo suspect that the Center is operating from Mist Harbor, though she did not offer any reasons for this belief.

Kiyonna left the group to go and report to the heads of the Families, assuring the players that more Iyo would be sent to take up the post. She assured everyone as well that the Circle had not found what it is that the Iyo keep hidden, for if they had, the Isle would already be no more. She asked that any who note anything related to the Circle, or the Center, please send her or Zofiya a letter. The Center must be stopped, the Circle broken, before it's the end for the entire Isle.

Hyacinth (storyline)/Summary 3-12-23 (summary)

2023-03-12T21:18:49Z

GS4-QUILIC:

Administrator Zofiya held a status update meeting in her office, and
brought the players up to speed. We're dealing with fires that burn
way, way too hot, and odd people in orange and red cloaks that are
trespassing in Iyo territory. Zofiya spoke of a few reports that
line up with those points of interest, and Yardie and Faerinn reported
sightings in town, leading all to assume that at least one of these
people is in town regularly.
Uhlen didn't show up, but someone named Kiyonna did. Kiyonna seemed a little scatterbrained, but very
earnest and anxious to please. She said she had been a researcher for
a long time, but that she's been living among the Iyo for years now,
and is considered a trusted Friend.

Uhlen showed up shortly afterwards, badly injured. After being healed, she said that she had
been attacked by a Hound. Between Uhlen and Kiyonna, they shared that
the Hyssch (Iyo word meaning generally: Eternal Flame) were a cult of
sorts who sought to destabilize the Iyo, in an attempt to get at what
the Iyo were protecting. Several times players were warned that if
the Hyssch were successful, the Isle would cease to exist as we know
it today (and other variations on that theme).

Uhlen asked for
assistance locating the Hyssch, which were believed to have been
exterminated generations ago. She said that the level of control
they've shown over flame is indicative of a full Circle, which means
five members, with one being the leader. It was mentioned that the Iyo believed they had eradicated the Hyssch, to include burning their "Tome", generations ago, but Kiyonna wasn't supposed to mention that part of things. Uhlen didn't touch on it at all when she tried to clarify things.

GS4-QUILIC:

==Premium Unlocks==
Premium subscribers are given the chance to procure unlocks for fluff scripts monthly. It's important to note that this service is dependent on approvals, and there is an exact list of scripts and tiers which must be abided by. That list can be found below. In order to get an unlock, you must have an existing item that is a single tier below the tier that you are seeking. There is no fee for this service, just the requisite that the individuals chosen have a correctly-tiered item that can be worked on.

There are some items that are limited with regards to the number of slots available, and those limits are similarly strict and cannot be exceeded. Once the available unlocks for a particular tier in a particular time period are exhausted, no more are available. These are first-come, first- serve.

Finally, there are some rarer unlocks, which will be distributed via a raffle system. The winners of these raffles will be allowed to choose from the list of available "rare" unlocks, again, first-come, first-serve. All the "rare" unlocks have limited quantities for the year.

Somnis

{{Material
|bonus = +15
|str = 15
|dur = 40
|weight = 100%
|use = Weapons
|rarity = Very Rare
|special = N/A
|color = Pearlescent Deep Purple
|dye = No}}

The '''somnis''' alloy is more contemporary in the annals of Elanthia, arriving for sale at Bloodriven Village in the year 5123. The alloy itself is a deep, rich purple in color, with pearlescent striations throughout that carry a slightly iridescent property, causing items forged from it to naturally shimmer or glisten when the light catches them just right. The metal itself appears to be a seamless integration of iron, carbon, and some unidentifiable substance, resulting in a steel-based alloy of surprising elegance. The alloy will not accept dyes, as the surface appears to be entirely impermeable, but is easy enough to alter for those with some small talent in metalsmithing. The material itself carries with it the ability to occasionally render the target of a strike with a somnis armament comatose, plunged deeply into a sudden slumber, though it remains unclear what, exactly, about the alloy renders this effect possible.

====Properties====
'''Lesser''' somnis armaments have a material-based flare that will use a rather forgiving SMR roll to attempt to put the target to sleep when the flare processes.<br>
'''Greater''' somnis armaments exist will process the same flare as '''lesser''' somnis, but will process the flare before any strike lands.

====Alteration Notes====
Alterations to somnis materials are able to be done as part of any GALD service, with the notable exception that the word 'greater' is not allowed to be added to any weapon which is not unlocked to allow it. Also, as noted above, somnis cannot be dyed, and should always remain a deep purple with pearlescent striations in hue (alternate wording is fine, so long as no objectively different colors are implied.) To further clarify, there is no requirement that the color (or any color) be in the description, but if any colors are used, they must remain true to the original hues.

Hyacinth (storyline)/Unauthorized Gathering (vignette)

2023-02-04T22:32:07Z

GS4-QUILIC: Created page with "Uhlen sat at the triangular desk, a quill in hand but her thoughts far away as her emotions roiled. Had she been wrong? Was she being played for a fool? She shook her head,..."

Uhlen sat at the triangular desk, a quill in hand but her thoughts far away as her emotions roiled. Had she been wrong? Was she being played for a fool? She shook her head, attempting to derail those negative thoughts. She would not believe it, she decided, but she would be sure. There was simply no other option. Her resolve strengthened, she dipped the quill into an inkwell and began to write.

Administrator Zofiya,

I am reaching out to you with an urgent request. It is essential that you assist me in ascertaining the identities of a number of individuals who were seen trespassing onto the slopes of the mountain at the heart of the Isle. These persons were not numerous, though reports vary as to their exact numbers. It appears that there were no more than five, but they were well past the acceptable limit of where the Iyo will allow interlopers. Each of the group were clad, head to toe, in dark red and orange robes, with their faces completely concealed.

I must be firm about this, Administrator. I have urged, bargained, and pleaded with the People to join together with your town in the spirit of fellowship. However, this level of disrespect for our borders constitutes a severe insult. Allow me to be crystal clear: The mountain is completely off limits to all save the People. Any attempt by the town or its residents to gain access will be regarded as a severe breach of trust, and will certainly undo any progress that has been made with regards to relations between your people and mine.

I must require that you ascertain the identities of these individuals, or, barring that, confirm that they did not originate from your town. In either case, you must reply and let me know, so that appropriate actions can be taken.

I have the impulse to apologize for this imposition, but I will not, as this matter is simply one that cannot be couched in niceties. Please exercise all haste in determining who amongst your people have decided to take such dangerous actions, so that they may be dealt with as an example to all others who might consider such a course.

With respect and urgency,
Uhlen

----

Zofiya read the letter for the fourth time, her jaw loosening slightly. The first time had caused her to see red. The second had left her longing for her sword. The third brought thoughts of Socius, and of bloodshed, which was the same thing. Still... she did her best to look at the larger picture, and reminded herself for the dozenth time that she was Administrator now, and that it was her job to handle situations like these.

With more force than was necessary, Zofiya yanked a drawer open and pulled out a scroll. She nearly spilled the inkwell as she jammed a quill in, then brought it to bear on the scroll.

To all Mist Harbor residents and visitors:

Trader Uhlen has requested that the identities of the individuals who were trespassing on Iyo grounds, specifically the slopes of the mountain, be provided to her at the earliest possible opportunity. She was most stringent in her language, and it was made clear that this is a very important matter to her. The only identifying information I was given was that it was a small number of individuals, and each was garbed in red and orange cloaks, with their features hidden. I would ask that any who have any information regarding this event let me know at your earliest convenience.

~Administrator Zofiya

GS4-QUILIC: Created page with "Zofiya still felt uncomfortable if she dwelt too long on her surroundings. She had long since admitted that she was most comfortable in narrow spaces, where she could control..."

Zofiya still felt uncomfortable if she dwelt too long on her surroundings. She had long since admitted that she was most comfortable in narrow spaces, where she could control every aspect of her environment, and the office assigned to the Administrator was far too large for her liking. Still, the role was hers, and with it came the office, so she did her best to make peace with that.

Some days were easier than others.

Uhlen sat opposite Zofiya, looking as composed as always, her hands folded in her lap and a calm expression on her face despite the story she had just related.

"I'm... sorry, but I would like to make sure I have this perfectly clear, if you don't mind?" Zofiya began.

"Of course. Ask what you must, and I will answer if I may."

"Thank you. You said that... fires... were acting strangely in your village?"

"It is important to draw a line of distinction, I feel. There have been a number of reports of home fires burning far hotter than they should, such that they extinguish the fuel in rapid order. However, this is by no means a widespread occurrence. There are simply enough reports that some have begun to wonder if there is cause for concern, which led to my trip here this morning."

Zofiya took some time to further digest this news, trying to figure out what she should do about this issue. The Iyo were allies, and had been proven so several times over. Zofiya wanted to help however she could, but this was yet another in a long line of problems that she felt completely incapable of addressing. She took a careful breath and started to pick at the problem as best she could.

"Are there any geographical similarities between the locations reporting this issue?" Before she had finished the question, Uhlen had begun to shake her head from side to side, dismissing the question.

"What about magic? Are there... forgive me for being indelicate, but little is known of your culture... do you have magic-users amongst your... families? And could they be responsible for this problem?"

This time Uhlen was not so quick to respond, and a long moment of silence yawned between them before Uhlen spoke.

"There is much I cannot reveal, for it is the way of the People, but I can assure you that none of ours is responsible for this."

Now it was Zofiya's turn to pause, and consider. It didn't fit with her nature to simply take someone's word for something. Anyone was capable of lies, or misdirection, or manipulation, depending on their circumstances, and Zofiya was well acquainted with liars and manipulators. Still, her father had assured her that the Iyo were friends, and she had seen with her own eyes that the native people had a strong sense of honor. She elected to accept Uhlen's statement, but also mentally flagged it as suspect... just in case.

"Very well. Next possibility would be some sort of demon-"

"Absolutely not," Uhlen interrupted smoothly.

"I... see," Zofiya responded. "Then perhaps-"

"If I may," Uhlen interrupted once more, her tone calm and polite, "If there were some means by which the People could discover the source of these issues, we would have done so, and I would not be here before you. What I would request is that you check with those who reside here in the Harbor, and see if similar issues have arisen, or if the issue is one pertaining solely to the People."

Zofiya flushed slightly. She knew Uhlen was right, and she silently berated herself for not approaching this situation correctly.

"Of course, of course," she assured. "I will send out fliers immediately, and see if I can garner reports from around town. If there is any indication of similar issues here, I will of course reach out to inform you."

"That would be most kind, Administrator. You have our thanks, and our ongoing support."

Uhlen's face split into a sweet smile, breaking the neutral, businesslike mask she had worn to this point.

"And a word of encouragement, if I might. You are well-suited to this post, young one. You have grown beyond your years in just the time that I have held your acquaintance. You will find the fit growing more comfortable as days go by."

Zofiya felt a smile crawl across her face as well at Uhlen's words, and she felt herself relax somewhat.

"Thank you, very much. It's been... trying at times, but I feel the importance of the role, and I am willing to do what I must for the town and its people. My mentors have taught me well in that regard."

Uhlen nodded, her smile diminishing somewhat as she stood to leave. Zofiya rose as well, holding out a hand reflexively. Uhlen blinked at the gesture, then made halting movements as she reached for the offered hand, finally clasping it somewhat awkwardly.

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Uhlen. It's good to see you regardless, but we also appreciate the warning that there might be a situation that needs our attention."

"The People will support you, Administrator. You have but to call."

Zofiya gave Uhlen's hand a slight squeeze, which the Iyo returned, then they released grips and Uhlen made her way out of the office while Zofiya slumped into her chair and drew out a blank scroll.

To the residents of Mist Harbor, and any visitors to the town:

We have received information from Trader Uhlen of the Iyo that there have been some oddities with fires in their homes. Specifically, some fires have burnt far hotter and faster than they should, consuming their fuel with unnatural speed. She has asked on behalf of the Iyo that any similar circumstances be reported as soon as possible, that we might be able to ascertain if this is a widespread enough issue to warrant concern. If anyone has any information along these lines, please send a letter to myself at your earliest convenience detailing what you may have experienced.

My thanks,
Zofiya, Administrator of Mist Harbor
