UBERWENCH:

'''You see Blade Viselda the Palestra of Shamsiel Academy.'''

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

She is average height. She appears to be mature. She has long-lashed sea green eyes and dark skin. She has long, platinum hair. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and thin pointed ears.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a barbed high steel claidhmore in her right hand.

She is wearing a long grey cloak, a well-fitting weapon harness, a black leather bodysuit, a lor triskele inset with three wine-veined scarlet despanals, some grey rugged pants, and some black leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Vortelis Infernebrus Faendryl the Guildmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears to be ancient. He has silver-flecked brown eyes and ashen skin. He has shoulder length, thick dark brown hair worn in a single braid. He has a bony face, a sharp nose and tall upswept pointed ears. He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband with a murky shadowglass orb over his face.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his right hand.

He is wearing a shadowy black hood, a suspended void black urglaes sphere with misty veins of crimson, a writhing vortex of shadows, a veniom-threaded grimoire satchel, some incarnadine vathor skin leathers enruned in burning glyphs, some enruned fitted ebon gloves, some tailored dark leather trousers, and some deep black vruul leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Moravius the Veilmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears ageless. He has dark-rimmed jade green eyes and deep umber skin. He has shoulder length, unruly silver hair only partially tamed into a single braid. He has a fine-boned face, an aquiline nose and tall upswept pointed ears.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband, a banded chalcedony cameo, a whorled black leather case, some silver-shot ebon bourde robes with a grey silk tunic notched at the high collar underneath, a bezel-set ruby and silver signet ring, some jet leather leggings, and a pair of polished black leather boots.

'''Moravius says, "Ah, good. Bodies."'''

Amathea quietly says, "Oh dear."

Vivaldi says, "Sounds like ah'm gonna die."

Lylia says, "Encouraging."

The voice of Leafiara says, "I certainly wouldn't count on it being a safe trip, at least."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Thrassus says, "Very possible."

Vivaldi says, "Guess won't be the first.."

'''Vortelis says, "I will be coming along to test the soulstone, as well, though I would like to spend as little time with it near this mountain as possible."'''

(Arelder adjusts his scabbard, leaving his sword sheathed for the moment.)

'''Azure and celadon lights flash in the churning clouds high above, with the occasional mote of golden essence flickering by like a flake of snow.'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes. We should go now. Before the storm intensifies."'''

'''Moravius uses his translucent chalk to outline a large circle upon the ground.'''

'''Moravius put some waxy translucent chalk in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius throws his arms around the air above the summoning circle, forming a swirling cloud of energy, with burning runes emerging from the fabric of reality within the vortex.'''

'''The vortex of energy swirls into a maelstrom, morphing together into solidity, finally stabilizing as a glowing dark red portal.'''

'''Moravius says, "There we are."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a glowing dark red portal.

Thrassus says, "The effects are quite a bit more heavy here."

'''Vortelis says, "This whole land is sick with shadows. It is corruptive even to be here, fortunately we do not have to stay long."'''

Lylia says, "Evocative phrase. 'Sick with shadows.'."

Thrassus says, "Even the sky is corrupted."

[We noticed we were having some trouble with spells...]

Lylia's magic fizzles ineffectually.

Vivaldi says, "Smells bad."

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Perigourd says, "Interesting."

'''Viselda says, "This is more dangerous than that other region."'''

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

The voice of Pukk says, "Ewww anti magics....this is going to be interesting."

The voice of Leafiara calmly agrees, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "And mana-bereft."

Perigourd says, "It would seem the chaos of the shadow breach nullifies the mana flows."

Vivaldi says, "Hells."

Missoni declares, "Perfectly wretched."

Speaking to himself, Earthdiver says, "It's not so bad..."

Winrie says, "I would rather be dragged from here, than smell this air any longer."

Thrassus says, "The mana has been drained away to the shadow plane."

Speaking morosely to Earthdiver, Lylia says, "It is not so bad. It is worse."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "Just kick them."

From behind Earthdiver, Leafiara's voice says, "Just wait until the shadows show up and almost nothing physical damages them either."

'''Moravius says, "The suffocating blanket should raise with the storm."'''

'''The air ripples and warms.'''

[Magic is restored!]

Speaking to Lylia, Missoni says, "Oh, we can do that."

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "Perhaps we ought to have been here earlier. There may have been ample opportunity to trace that mana."

Missoni nods approvingly.

Thrassus says, "That is a good point."

'''Moravius says, "There are certainly anti-magical qualities to the shadows."'''

Missoni murmurs, "That is better."

Lylia says, "As if I needed another reason to dislike them."

'''Moravius says, "I can sense the sinkholes in the Veil. They are that way, closer to the ruins of the city."'''

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver says, "Let us not tarry..."

Missoni murmurs, "It is so thin one can see right to the Shadow Realm."

Arelder raises his oak torch overhead, allowing the flame to illuminate the surroundings better.

'''Moravius says, "Pure darkness is what you would call anti-mana, it is an aspect of the shadows as an energy."'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''Traveling to the peak of this bit of land, the climb is made more steep simply by the volume of bones scattered across the ground. Layer upon layer, the remains are heaped until it is near impossible to even see what lies beneath''

''them. Tendrils of shadow writhe and curl in the air where the rise drops off in a sheer cliff, leaving nothing but crimson clouds of mist to haunt the darkness beyond the field of bones.''

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd asks, "Such as in the rift with the Vvrael?"

Winrie painfully says, "That name again."

'''Moravius says, "That is a collective sentience of anti-mana."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... can we send something through there?"

Monthas says, "The Vvrael have no problem hurling that anti-mana back at me."

Oxhammer says, "Just stay hidden Pukk...everything will work out fine."

'''Moravius looks over and inspects the ripple in the air.'''

'''Moravius removes a phasing black alloy astrolabe from in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius removes a convoluted valencial cartograph from in his black leather case.'''

Perigourd removes a burnished silver spyglass from in his green leather cloak.

Perigourd peers east through his silver spyglass and slowly turns the eyepiece to focus it.

Perigourd polishes his silver spyglass with the edge of his sleeve.

The voice of Pukk asks, "Perigourd, did you look into the right end?"

Perigourd says, "I did, yes."

Perigourd says, "Bit dark here though, unsurprisingly."

'''Moravius hovers the astrolabe near the ripple, gesturing as it phases in and out.'''

Amathea quietly says, "You have to attune the thingy! silly..."

Vortelis says, "Teasing the tail of the dragon."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

[Fighting!]

'''Moravius says, "Impolite."'''

(Raelee moves closer to Moravius, attempting to see the astrolabe and cartograph more closely, seemingly unbothered by the hostiles.)

'''Moravius says, "This narrow passage is too tight. It impractical for forming a stable gateway."'''

Missoni asks, "Perhaps further in, then?"

For a moment, the ground trembles and cracks, and oddly, seems to expand as if stretching outward.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... what else do your readings say?"

Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath Amathea as a glistening ashen bleakworm erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!

[More fighting!]

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Yes then, your readings?"

'''Moravius looks unfazed and continues speaking.'''

Pukk says, "I felt the ground rumble and was just about to tell Leafi that she needs to cut down on the chocolate."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "If we were to try to breach here, we might fall into the interplanar void, or end up in some other valence entirely."'''

Speaking defiantly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Never."

'''Moravius says, "But then it might simply rip us into pieces through the tidal forces."'''

Winrie says, "Amathea..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I'm here somewhere."

'''Moravius points at Amathea, ruining her hiding place.'''

Raelee asks, "Have you any mechanism amongst your tools for sending something inside without following it yourself?"

'''Moravius says, "Hide and seek will not work when you are dead."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk asks, "Oh hi there. Did you know that you are dead?"

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "Have you thought about not dying? It's what everybody is doing now-a-days."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I did, in fact."

Earthdiver says, "Is there someone to raise her."

Winrie says, "She is ready."

Arelder gestures at Amathea.

With each passing moment during Arelder's slow chant, his eyes flutter rhythmically. He folds his right arm and rests his chin upon his hand, then gazes down at the lifeless corpse of Amathea, as if contemplating her existence.

Blinking once, Arelder thrusts his hand over Amathea, and crackling raw power flows from Arelder's fingertips into Amathea.

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "How do you remain in contact with it once it passes through?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Vortelis says, "There is a tether of energy that binds the probe to the sphere, so long as it does not get severed by the forces of the rift."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee says, "... curious."

'''Viselda impatiently says, "We should keep moving, Moravius..."'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

[Oh so much fighting! We lost a few.]

Speaking to Vivaldi, Pukk says, "So, you have died my friend..."

Earthdiver says, "Is there...someone to raise the farmer fellow."

'''Moravius says, "That will not do at all. You could get possessed laying around that way."'''

Leafiara tentatively asks, "Does anyone have a chrism on hand?"

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Ah mean.. fertilizer is fertilzer."

Arelder glumly admits, "I cannot, unfortunately..."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Thrassus says, "Nothing natural will grow here, though."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "For now."

Thrassus says, "Optimistic."

Thrassus snickers.

'''An old church bell rings hauntingly all around you, its distorted sound resonating throughout the broken lands.'''

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Yall run along and ah'll mebbe get the ground a li'l growin' like."

Earthdiver says, "No insects. It is indeed desolate compared to the other parts of the Bleaklands."

Arelder incredulously asks, "Did anyone hear that?"

A melodic chant escapes Leafiara's lips, singing the praises of the joys of living. Leafiara's eyes light up, and a sparkling yellow aura soon surrounds her as she revels in her ceremony. Caught up in the moment, she dances lively

around the body of Vivaldi, the exultant energy flowing from her to Vivaldi with every step. Leafiara takes a small bow at the end of the ritual that has left both her and Vivaldi slightly out of breath.

Speaking offhandedly to Arelder, Leafiara says, "It's, ah... not an uncommon sound around here..."

Leafiara says, "But, truly, what you'd better hope is that it doesn't signal the arrival of echoes of the Blameless."

Speaking to Leafiara, Lylia says, "Do not even speak them into existence."

'''Moravius says, "Blameless? Yes, I suppose we are, blameless in it."'''

Thrassus says, "If it was a few weeks older it would likely have turned into a maw on the end of a vine or something."

Monthas says, "Ohh thats right."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie asks, "What happens when those fruits come home?"

Monthas says, "Dirt from the bleaklands."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia says, "Well, naturally, but this is rather a different sort of...hmm. We can talk about it later."

Speaking to himself, Everall says, "This place..."

Earthdiver says, "Growing anything in this is almost certainly a terrible idea."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "They mean zealots."'''

Earthdiver says, "Unless you grow it here, of course."

Lylia says, "Koarites."

Earthdiver says, "Then it's probably ok."

'''Moravius asks, "Koarites?"'''

'''Moravius frowns.'''

Speaking to Vivaldi, Winrie exclaims, "Not on our watch, turnip!"

Amathea quietly asks, "Devotees?"

'''Moravius says, "Those zealots do not even appreciate demons."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Thrassus says, "A brief description of them would be a political faction that still thinks invading us was a good idea."

Lylia says, "Everblood, zealotry, madness, destruction."

Leafiara says, "They've been here before--in the Bleaklands, that is--but they aren't always."

Winrie exclaims, "Good!"

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Harrower Vortelis, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Harrower Moravius

Winrie exclaims, "Why would anyone?!"

Leafiara says, "But I think I recall seeing them last time we encountered those worms, so..."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

The spectre moans evilly!

[Still more fighting!]

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

'''Moravius exclaims, "There we are!"'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The face of the tumultuous mountain is altogether unlike any that can be found in the waking world. Strips of cloth that may have once been banners peek out from beneath rocks and within crevices, their countenances torn and frayed, making their crests all but unidentifiable. Sandwiched between the boulders that create the base of the range are humanoid limbs that twitch and swat at the empty air from time to time.''

Monthas says, "So much to see and look at."

Thrassus says, "Interesting."

'''Vortelis says, "This one seems more well-formed."'''

Thrassus asks, "Could that be the equivalent to the Reach on the shadow valence?"

(Pukk tries to poke the ripple in the air.)

(Lylia falls silent and peers avidly at the ripple as if searching for something beyond it.)

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

A flickering shadow spectre hisses an evil incantation!

[Periodic bouts of fighting!]

'''Vortelis fixes a small metallic orb to a dark tendril of energy from his urglaes sphere.'''

Arelder concernedly asks, "Is everyone alright?"

Thrassus says, "Quite fine."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "That thing!"

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "Oh..what is the that orb for."

'''The probe vanishes into the ripple of air. The tendril of dark energy flickers around, as if being drawn like a line of rope, then begins thrashing and grows taut.'''

Earthdiver says, "Ah, the probe."

Leafiara steeples her fingers together, quietly observing her surroundings.

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "Is the energy connection stable enough?"

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Thrassus says, "Something must have thought it was bait."

'''Vortelis says, "The issue is that the passage is too violently unstable. But yes, we can gleam some information, in this way."'''

Earthdiver says, "Somewhat like a Familiar, I suppose."

'''Vortelis says, "This will not do. We should get closer to the epicenter of the destruction."'''

Monthas says, "That sounds like a bad idea."

Pukk says, "That is why we are going to do it."

'''Vortelis says, "The shadows will be more intense there, we may be able to use the soulstone on it."'''

Thrassus says, "I have always wondered what it looks like there, anyways."

Earthdiver says, "It will be exciting."

Vivaldi says, "Dead farmers ain't too excitin'."

'''Viselda says, "These particular beasts have been limited. But this is dangerous. There should be more Palestra here right now."'''

Lylia says, "Keenly exciting. I have not seen some of these sights."

Monthas asks, "What is a palestra?"

Amathea quietly says, "More of that insight."

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "A demon slayer."

Speaking to Viselda, Thrassus asks, "As in how many more?"

'''Speaking smugly to Viselda, Moravius asks, "Where are your wandering Palestra of the outlands?"'''

Speaking to Viselda, Earthdiver says, "Do you have any advice."

'''Viselda scowls at Moravius.'''

Speaking to Viselda, Perigourd says, "Some of us here have fair experience at slaying demons as well."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Pukk says, "Don't die."

Speaking to Monthas, Lylia explains, "They are Faendryl expressly trained in the dispatching of demons, among other skills."

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: east, southwest

Monthas says, "Thank you."

Winrie proudly says, "Leave the dying to me."

Monthas says, "Did not know that."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "No!"

(Arelder rests the flat of his blade on his shoulder, tapping it idly.)

'''In the distance you hear a faintly unreal old bell ringing out. Soon this is met with a massing number of decomposing red-eyed bleak knights, shambling toward you with malicious and bloody intent.'''

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Hey!"

Thrassus says, "Ah, here they are."

A cold, dank wind blows in, followed by a decomposing red-eyed bleak knight!

A decomposing red-eyed bleak knight clatters to its feet.

[Fightinnnngggg!]

Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "That is only going to get worse as the storm intensifies."

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The great northern mountains rise up like a wall of jagged, icy fingers in the distance. Their peaks are obscured by heavy black clouds, and the once fresh mountain air has been replaced by the stagnant, putrid odor of burnt flesh and scorched earth. You also see a towering oily black tree.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Earthdiver blinks in surprise, as though just becoming aware of a towering oily black tree's presence.

Thrassus says, "Oh.."

Monthas says, "Black apples."

Winrie exclaims, "Apples!"

Earthdiver says, "Where..where is that black apple fellow."

Perigourd says, "We saw this the last time we came through."

Speaking quietly to himself, Arelder remarks, "Like the old tales..."

[Frequent skirmishes throughout our time here]

Speaking to a towering oily black tree, Thrassus asks, "Well aren't you magnificent?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Look at how big it is!"

Speaking encouragingly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "You made it so far. No giving up now!"

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "It looks taller when you are lying down, I have no doubt."

Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius says, "Yes, I know. The situation is improving by the minute."

Thrassus asks, "I do wonder if the fruit are the same as the ones in the orchard?"

Leafiara says, "Ah, good, now we more demonstrably prove that these black apples are different than the other black apples."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we have someone to raise her?"

Leafiara says, "Oh, I thought she wanted to be fed to the tree."

Speaking firmly to a towering oily black tree, Arelder says, "Cold steel and prayer..."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "Still not buried!"

Leafiara reassuringly exclaims, "Maybe next time with some other tree!"

'''Moravius says, "Unfortunately we have other experiments remaining."'''

Perigourd says, "Plenty of nicer trees to be absorbed by."

Perigourd nods slowly.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Thus we should continue, yes? What is next?"

'''Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius asks, "There is one near here, can you feel it?"'''

'''Vortelis nods at Moravius.'''

'''Vortelis says, "Near the ruins to the north."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went north.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

Rows and rows of crumbled, charred stones are strewn about the broken landscape where the towering walls of Talador once stood. Even the wind is hot, swirling around and scattering ash and smoldering debris all about. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: south

Vivaldi says, "Still smells bad here."

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The air hums with an unseen energy, and tendrils of deep shadow trail across the ground like snakes hungrily searching for prey. In the distance, a scarlet light pulses, distorting the bruised sky and smearing the colors like so much paint under an artist's brush.''

Thrassus says, "Oh, we are at the center for certain."

Lylia quietly says, "It smells cleaner than Chaston Griffin's camps."

Lylia purses her lips in a thin line of disapproval.

Earthdiver says, "At least it is warm here."

'''Moravius tweaks the index of the astrolabe along the ecliptic hyperbolic engraved on its rete, looking between his map and the rift as well as the mater.'''

Pukk says, "It's so quiet."

Pukk says, "And peaceful."

Vivaldi says, "So's a grave."

The voice of Pukk says, "I better hide."

Winrie says, "Warm, like a fermenting pile."

Thrassus says, "That light..."

'''Speaking to himself, Moravius says, "This is the best we are going to be able to do, unless the veil is totally broken through somewhere in that wreckage."'''

Thrassus says, "That's the center."

'''Vortelis says, "I will check to see if this rift can be used to charge the soulstone."'''

Monthas asks, "What does the soulstone look like?"

'''Vortelis says, "If I can get a reasonable amount of shadows into it, we can try to open a test portal to the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Vortelis removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in his vortex of shadows.'''

'''Vortelis says, "It looks approximately like this."'''

Monthas produces a gleaming multicolored soulstone from the depths of his spidersilk duster.

Monthas says, "Different than mine."

'''Vortelis holds up two fingers and slowly pinches them together until they are almost touching.'''

Lylia says, "It is pale now, but it was once a vibrant red."

Lylia explains, "It belonged to Aralyte, a Palestra Blade who was instrumental in destroying Althedeus, a sentient creature of shadows that sought godhood."

'''Vortelis brings the pale soulstone up to the ripple in the air and utters some arcane incantations in Faendryl.'''

Earthdiver says, "Godhood sounds like so much...responsibility."

'''The soulstone begins to glow red. Vortelis winces as it heats up and pulses.'''

Lylia quietly says, "She remained within the shadows."

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Arelder explains, "I know we have bigger problems than my memories... but it is a strange feeling seeing it. I grew up a bit west of here... we only rarely visited the capital. These stones seem like they should speak to me. But yet... they don't."

Perigourd nods grimly at Arelder.

'''Writhing shadows bleed through the ripple in the air, forming wispy tendrils that peel off the rift, which get drawn toward the soulstone and siphon into it.'''

Speaking gently to Arelder, Missoni says, "It cannot be an easy thing to see."

Thrassus says, "That pulsing light in the distance just might be where the bells are coming from."

(Winrie spreads her arms wide.)

Speaking quietly to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... are there no further readings to take with the astrolabe or quasi-sphere?"

'''Vortelis swaps the bright red soulstone to his left hand. His right hand is visibly burned on the palm with the imprint of the soulstone on it.'''

Thrassus says, "He is likely there."

Everall glances over at Vortelis and winces.

Earthdiver says, "That heated up surprisingly fast."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk says, "You should see a healer about that."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "He is going to try to fully open the rift into a portal."'''

Winrie flatly says, "Or, maybe not see one."

'''Moravius says, "Which would allow us to walk in ourselves."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia murmurs, "I have held fires that burned me to the bone. It is nothing we cannot bear."

Monthas asks, "First trip to the bleaklands, and then we go to shadow?"

'''The air abruptly grows cold, the shadows suddenly seem alive.'''

Earthdiver says, "That feels better."

A fluid shadowy bleakwalker drifts in smoothly, trailed by a shadowy haze.

The dark power of the shadowy bleakwalker draws at Grhim.

[Fights...so many fights.]

Vivaldi glances at a delicate azure bonnet.

Vivaldi says, "Killed some poor granny."

'''Vortelis says, "We will do a penetration test on the rift with the soulstone, as Moravius was saying, seeing if it might be able to form a stable portal to the Shadows valence."'''

Thrassus says, "That was a bleakworm."

Thrassus says, "Not a granny."

Lylia says, "A city died here. More than one 'granny' died, I am certain."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "It may have eaten one, however."

Thrassus says, "Fair point."

'''Vortelis says, "It is not charged fully. But siphoning directly off this rift was fairly fast."'''

Missoni says, "That is promising."

'''Vortelis says, "Hopefully my hand does not transform into a tentacle."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Perigourd says, "Perhaps it can siphon the entirey and close this.. tear."

Speaking quietly to Vortelis, Amathea says, "It might be an improvement."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "That could be exciting."

Monthas says, "That would be a deal breaker."

Lylia says, "On the other hand -- or tentacle -- it could be useful."

Vivaldi says, "Easier to scratch wit tho."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk exclaims, "But if it does think of how quickly you can eat food then!"

Missoni says, "That would be fascinating."

'''Vortelis confusedly says, "What? More shadows would only deepen the tear."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Thrassus asks, "Is something wrong?"

'''Vortelis chants in a dark tongue and faces the ripple, swapping the soulstone back to his burned hand and reaching out with it.'''

'''A flash of bright red light ripples outward into the Bleaklands.'''

Monthas says, "Thats the "hello we are here" beacon."

Thrassus says, "That's going to get more attention."

Earthdiver says, "A price for everything."

'''The tear in the fabric of reality looks unstable for a moment, and a bolt of energy soars off it, lashing past Vortelis and arcing up into the night!'''

'''More skin peels back from Vortelis's fingers, leaving ribbons of incarnadine blood and bone in its wake.'''

Pukk says, "I guess shooting a demon with a bow is still not going to work."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia hisses, "Steady on."

'''The light within Vortelis's talisman begins to churn and slowly dissipate until it grows paler, murky, then dull white.'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim says, "The lantern enjoys the taste of other shadows."

Speaking to Vortelis, Vivaldi says, "Don't look too good feller."

Earthdiver says, "How does that keep happening."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "I think they have it out for you."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "You know...I'm starting to think you like being dead."

'''The ripple in the air becomes darker, and the world beyond it begins to melt away, slowly turning bright red as if blood were seeping out across it.'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "It's a small price for knowledge."

Thrassus says, "It's stabilizing."

Vortelis carefully surveys his surroundings.

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Sure! I like risks."

Leafiara agrees, "Well, alright then!"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "It is beautiful."

Leafiara says, "I like the spirit."

Speaking to Leafiara, Winrie says, "Go easy."

'''The bloody hue dims away. Through the rift are shifting vistas of black skeletal trees, piles of bones, cliffs of crimson haze, iron chains through the skies, and a floating island of flesh stabbed through with obsidian. It keeps unstably expanding and contracting.'''

Vortelis gazes with interest at a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver asks, "What does that mean?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "I'm quite sure the bleaklands don't quite look like that."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's quite the sight."

Missoni murmurs, "Remarkable."

'''Vortelis exclaims, "Gah!"'''

'''The soulstone suddenly glows intensely bright and fires a beam of red into western sky!'''

'''Vortelis falls over.'''

'''The storm above Melgorehn's Reach is struck with a beam of red light. Its clouds turn bloody red, and for a moment time slows to a crawl, then suddenly snap back with a tidal wave of bright red light!'''

Missoni says, "Mind the storm."

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... curious that the energies can be so attracted to the storm at the Reach, even at this distance. One wonders how far that connection could extend..."

'''Vortelis dusts himself off.'''

'''Vortelis glances at a light red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his hand.'''

'''Moravius asks, "The veil is thinning all around us. Vortelis?"'''

Oxhammer says, "Sounds like landin starting to pop."

'''Space itself seems to thin out and stretch, and what little color there is wanes in the bleak lands. The landscape itself seems like a mirage of black trees and soil of flesh threatening to become real.'''

Vivaldi says, "Soil of flesh."

Vivaldi says, "Nawps."

Vivaldi says, "No."

Thrassus says, "It might have stabilized things too much."

(Lylia flicks her gaze uneasily to the south.)

Perigourd says, "One might concur."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we?"

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Not yet!"

'''Vortelis says, "Hold."'''

'''The whites of Vortelis's eyes go dark as he chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

'''Shadows peel off the rift and begin forming into masses of eyes and shadowy tentacles...'''

Monthas says, "Umm."

Thrassus says, "More of them."

(Winrie covers her face with her right arm.)

A massive tenebrous oculoth's central eye suddenly bleeds with a variety of hues, the colors roiling in a shadowy vortex until it finally blossoms with a solid incarnadine hue.

[Big fights!]

Vivaldi says, "Nawp nawp nawp nawp."

Amathea quietly says, "What is THAT."

Earthdiver says, "Ahhh. Finally."

Thrassus says, "Oculoth."

Earthdiver says, "My favorite animal."

Leafiara pleasedly says, "It's been too long."

Speaking to Amathea, Vivaldi says, "Nasty buggers."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "It's a giant eye with teeth."

Lylia says, "Do not implode them."

Pukk asks, "Implode them?"

Earthdiver says, "They...eat...the voids."

Lylia says, "I learned that lesson the hard way."

Earthdiver says, "And will vomit them on you."

Monthas says, "Eww."

Lylia says, "Messily."

Earthdiver says, "What do we have...that attracted the oculoths."

Earthdiver says, "They are normally such uh..peaceful creatures."

Speaking to Amathea, Leafiara exclaims, "We'll make sure it's clear first!"

'''Vortelis keeps incanting with his urglaes sphere hovering between him and the rift. The soulstone streams a thread of darkness and incarnadine light through the sphere into the rift.'''

Leafiara muses, "Relatively speaking..."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "We will defend you."

Speaking concernedly to Amathea, Winrie says, "If you keep dying, you might not come back."

'''The rift becomes black as midnight, and pierced with two feystone lights.'''

Monthas asks, "Glowing eyes?"

Monthas says, "Or something else."

Leafiara says, "Ah, that's what she looked like last time, I believe."

'''The darkness of the rift resolves around the feystone lights, which burn in the shadowy orbs in the face of a dark elven woman, with a bald head and blood red sigils over her eyes. She is surrounded in blood, and her body is wreathed in shadow. She reaches a shadowy arm out toward you as from the other side of a dark mirror.'''

Perigourd says, "That doesn't seem right."

Thrassus says, "It's Aralyte."

Pukk says, "Yeah..doesn't look crazy at all."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Oh, I am not far..."

Winrie exasperatedly exclaims, "It better be!"

Speaking to himself, Arelder remarks, "No... it can't be..."

Thrassus says, "She's closing the rift, it seems."

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim asks, "Have you been inside of there?"

Leafiara says, "Was more or less what she looked like last time..."

Lylia says, "Many of us have been in the realm of shadows."

'''The soulstone burns hot and bright.'''

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Well, you are married to Xorus so..."

Earthdiver says, "Seems like we are still good."

'''Vortelis says, "I have to get this away from here, you should get back to the portal."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Missoni says, "Surely you will not remain."

Lylia says, "Get it away from here how? I left her; I do not intend to leave you."

Monthas asks, "Are we raising or dragging?"

Earthdiver says, "At this rate, we could persist indefinitely."

'''Vortelis says, "Through a rift, away from these sinkholes, and the mana storm."'''

'''Vortelis says, "For now."'''

Earthdiver says, "Most of us."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie asks, "Do you still have deeds?"

Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Arelder replies, "But not with body and soul together."

'''Vortelis tears open space and disappears through it.'''

Leafiara slowly says, "Ah, correction, no, I'm not raising... she died again too quickly."

Thrassus says, "That means we move."

Monthas says, "So drag it is."

'''There is a loud, demonic shrieking through the ripple, which once again becomes unstable and contracts.'''

Earthdiver says, "I wonder what that one could be."

Monthas says, "Ohh yeah we dragging."

Lylia says, "We do not need to drag her."

Earthdiver says, "It has been SOO long since I have talked with a demon of some ability."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "That's probably not good."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia asks, "Do you object to animation?"

Vivaldi says, "A critter."

Pukk exclaims, "Ooh animate her!"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Nope!"

Pukk exclaims, "That's always fun!"

Monthas says, "That works."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Can't die if i'm dead."

Monthas says, "You sorceress are so efficient."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk exclaims, "And if Lylia wants she can make you explode too!"

Moravius reluctantly says, "This rift is not viable for us. We should leave this place."

Speaking to Lylia, Grhim says, "You never miss the opportunity to reanimate a corpse."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie says, "You are now an apple."

Monthas asks, "Wait, did he go into that rift?"

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "He fled."

Speaking to Monthas, Earthdiver says, "A personal rift."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "A fancy apple."

Lylia says, "His own rift."

Thrassus says, "He went into a different one he created."

Lylia says, "He did not flee so much as he took a dangerous object out of immediate proximity to the rift."

Speaking offhandedly to Amathea, Lylia says, "There may be some side effects. They are usually mild once you are raised."

Earthdiver says, "Can we stay a while yet."

Thrassus says, "I was worried for a moment."

Pukk says, "Landing is being invaded."

[Fighting breaks out as we make our way toward the portal.]

'''Moravius says, "We are almost there."'''

Earthdiver says, "I would like to have an oculoth one day."

Speaking to Pukk, Perigourd says, "Not surprising considering the Reach pulled some of the portal it looked like."

'''The sky darkens as a huge, mammoth oily black mass peels away from dark patches in the sky. Its gargantuan maggot-like body is a shadowy abomination of arms and thousands of teeth. It slowly descends toward you in the direction of the portal.'''

'''Moravius gazes up into the heavens.'''

'''Moravius says, "Fascinating."'''

Thrassus says, "Another one..."

Leafiara says, "Ahh, the maggot abomination..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Curious."

Missoni says, "One of those...things."

Earthdiver says, "That could be a large one."

Thrassus says, "They can be killed."

Perigourd says, "Most things can."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk says, "He says many of the things you always say. I think you might be related."

'''The massive shadowy blob of abomination moves closer with its tendrils and jagged teeth.'''

Speaking to Pukk, Raelee says, "We are not."

Perigourd says, "Though with the town imperiled, we may wish to assist there."

'''Moravius says, "Ah, yes. I should get that portal closed."'''

Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a yellow verlok feather, a glowing dark red portal, a lazy wild deep red dog, a wide-beaked copper verlok'asha that is flying around, a phantasmal indigo-eyed eel that is flying around, a mutilated shadowy Ithzir gibbet, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees, a cedar chip path and a shielded worker encampment.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Earthdiver, Vivaldi, Perigourd, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Winrie, Moravius

(Winrie adjusts her jaw.)

Perigourd says, "I'm going to aid in town."

Leafiara says, "Likewise."

Monthas says, "Thank the gods, we are back."

Thrassus says, "While the pylons can kill the things, it's still a hard fight."

Monthas says, "Not that I didn't enjoy my first trip to the Bleaklands."

A faint song draws attention to an odd silhouette that fades into a shadowy Ithzir omenbearer!

A shadowy Ithzir omenbearer raises her arms as she sings!

[Everyone's least favorite fight!]

'''Moravius walks over to the encampment and picks up a spear of kroderine, then walks back and hurls it into the shadowy portal!'''

'''The shadowy portal abruptly and violently collapses!'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly asks, "Oh great...these things followed us through?"

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "That is a handy spear."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "They lead us here!"

Thrassus says, "No, they are manifesting here."

Lylia says, "Not any more, I believe."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Ooohh.....it's all a bit of a blur."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "That stupid stone!"

Earthdiver says, "It looks like the town needs a hand."

'''The dark red in the storm clouds of Melgorehn's Reach slowly bleeds away, becoming replaced again with azure and celadon flashes of light.'''

'''Moravius says, "That is marginally better."'''

'''Moravius put a phasing black alloy astrolabe in his black leather case.'''

Thrassus says, "Somewhat, yes."

'''Moravius put a convoluted valencial cartograph in his black leather case.'''

Shadows in the surface of the lake pulse with dark crimson light, for a moment vaguely resembling an otherworldly landscape in its depths.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "From your readings, what is the primary source of instability in those ruptures?"

'''Moravius says, "If you had all died like this sooner, it would have made triangulating faster."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... for if we could find a way to stabilize them, it seems it would be better both for research and charging the soulstone..."

Speaking to Moravius, Vivaldi says, "Ah already died twice.."

Speaking to Amathea, the ghostly voice of Winrie says, "We did our paty."

'''Moravius says, "It is the chaos of the Bleaklands, and the haphazard way they are formed."'''

Speaking quietly to Winrie, the ghostly voice of Amathea exclaims, "We sure did!"

'''Moravius says, "Eventually they may collapse more fully into portals."'''

Thrassus says, "They might be easier to close at that point."

'''Moravius says, "But it seems quite likely we could get ourselves stranded in the Shadow Realm if we forced one open and it did not hold."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... then we ought to ensure it holds, yes?"

[missing part of log]

'''Viselda incredulously asks, "What Prelate?"'''

Thrassus says, "Chaston Griffon of course."

Thrassus asks, "You saw that red pulsing light in the distance through the rift, yes?"

Thrassus says, "That might be him."

'''Moravius asks, "In the Shadow Realm?"'''

Thrassus says, "Indeed."

Lylia firmly says, "Prelate Chaston Griffin is a smear of oily soot on a pair of my once-favorite boots and the reason I cannot wear them anymore."

'''Moravius says, "Vortelis is more versed in the history of the Bleaklands than myself."'''

Lylia says, "If any shred of him remains, I shall be happy to sacrifice another pair of boots."

Speaking to herself, Lylia murmurs, "Although perhaps not this pair."

Thrassus says, "Suffice it to say a witch's device detonated in the capital and created the Bleaklands."

Thrassus says, "Taking the Prelate and most of his Blameless along with it."

Perigourd says, "It may just be my persepctive, but it looked like Aralyte dirtected them to attack us."

Thrassus says, "I suspect it might not have destroyed them, however."

'''Speaking to Perigourd, Viselda says, "That was how I perceived it."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Lylia reluctantly says, "I have said before that she must be found. That is one of the reasons why."

Thrassus says, "Those tendrils she directed were reaching for the rift, it appeared to me."

Missoni carefully says, "She was reaching for us. Perhaps she was unaware of the effect she was having."

'''Moravius says, "We did not see her very long."'''

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Lylia says, "I thought that too. It was...ambiguous, in all the chaos."

Earthdiver says, "If only we had some way to track her presence in the Bleaklands."

Perigourd says, "She seemed imbued with shadow, herself."

'''Moravius says, "But there were these Ithzir, as well as shadow entities, spilling out into the Bleaklands from it."'''

Leafiara says, "We're dealing with shadows that appear like Ithzir and might not be them, so it's not implausible to face shadows that also appear like Aralyte and might not be her."

Leafiara says, "Just theorizing."

Perigourd asks, "Is there a point at which the shadows so saturate a person that they cannot be separated from them?"

Leafiara adds, "Although the soulstone does cast doubt on that particular one..."

'''Moravius says, "Siphoning energy out is one thing, but the mutations caused are something else."'''

Lylia says, "I do not recall her name. She spent a great deal of time with Cruxophim. She was so thoroughly taken by shadows that she may as well have been one."

'''Viselda says, "That would be settled with observation and treatment in a thaumaturgical asylum."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "And how many of those mutations are supported by the shadows? Are they survivable without the shadows?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "That is a difficulty. Aberrations often become physically dependent."'''

'''Moravius says, "Or they might be able to sustain themselves in some parasitic fashion."'''

Lylia stiffly says, "If she is contaminated in this way, then we must still find her."

Thrassus says, "Another concern is that titanic leech."

'''Viselda says, "I consider this a Palestra matter at this point. But that will be up to the Basilican Magistrate and Dracovir."'''

Thrassus says, "It very well may eventually make its way here."

Thrassus says, "That's what the last one did."

Speaking to Lylia, Earthdiver says, "I have been working on a device to track shadow energy. Perhaps it could be of some use."

Thrassus says, "It scented its prey in the Bleaklands and slowly floated its way here."

Lylia quietly says, "Perhaps. I hope that it might."

'''Moravius says, "The tracing methods will prove useful, even if now it is a virtual certainty that it is all stemming from this valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "You know, it is like saying, Korvath is somewhere on Elanthia."'''

'''Moravius says, "But I think Vortelis will want to enter the Shadows valence from here at Lake Eonak."'''

Thrassus says, "That's likely the safest option."

Perigourd says, "Considering that the breach expanded to the Reach here, it would seem from a safety standpoint to presume the same risks."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia asks, "Do you have an idea of the time we may expect this to occur?"

Lylia says, "I understand there is some randomness. Periodicity is not predictable with these storms."

'''Moravius says, "The storm cycle is dying down, probably for a month."'''

'''Moravius says, "We would be using the mana storm to help keep the portal propped open when we need it."'''

Lylia adds, "And Harrower Vortelis? He is safe?"

'''Moravius tilts his head and his eyes glaze over.'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes. Vortelis is elsewhere, waiting out the storm."'''

Lylia says, "Good."

'''Moravius says, "He may be in some trouble for hitting it with that beam."'''

'''Moravius says, "With the Archchancellor, I mean."'''

Lylia says, "Trouble follows in the hinterlands; it is just what happens."

'''Moravius says, "But it was chaos. These things happen."'''

Lylia says, "Just so."

'''Moravius says, "He was only half-joking about his hand. That was an intense exposure to shadows."'''

Thrassus says, "It did seem a bit stronger than anitcipated."

Speaking to Moravius, Everall asks, "Will he recover from that?"

'''Moravius says, "We will probably recharge it in a slower way."'''

Earthdiver says, "It happens."

Lylia says, "I did not mean to offend with my jest about the utility of having a tentacle. Nor should he take any comments about Ivas amiss."

'''Speaking to Everall, Moravius says, "If it is just a flesh wound."'''

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "I've seen some mages recreate hands out of pure fire essence."

Lylia says, "I have had...similar incidents with burns to the hands."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... I recall."

'''Moravius says, "Fortunately the storming was relatively mild. I would hate.. well, no... Viselda would hate it, if it were a much stronger volatility."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Everall says, "I suppose I was unaware whether these circumstances would be treated differently."

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "They may very well be."

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd says, "I suspect I share her view."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "You will be the death of us."'''

Arelder wearily says, "Forgive me for parting. This evening has been... overwhelming."

Arelder wearily continues, "...and I wish to be alone."

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "I'll have to work on a report for Sir Guarrin."

Missoni says, "We shall turn in, in that case."

'''Moravius says, "It is virtually certain we will have to go to the Shadow Realm now."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... that will be interesting."

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "I am happy to accompany."

'''Viselda says, "Dracovir will not allow a Palestra to be in that condition, left to her own devices in a demonic valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes, well. There is that, as well."'''

Lylia says, "We have been before. We shall go again. I have been eager -- well, no. I have been certain that returning is necessary. I would not say I am eager for it, however."

Thrassus says, "I don't think anyone was planning on leaving her in that state."

'''Viselda flatly says, "Yes. That."'''

Lylia firmly says, "I never have. I have sought to return for a decade."

Lylia says, "I know you have as well, and many others."

'''Moravius says, "It is a difficult and perilous place to harrow, we would not ordinarily try to go to that valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "The rift we will have to make to it will be relatively dangerous."'''

Lylia says, "We do what we must."

'''Viselda says, "The threat obviously outweights the hazard now."'''

Lylia says, "It was not easy when she used the Staff of Ith'can."

'''Moravius says, "That Ur-Daemon relic is presumably still in the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Moravius says, "We will only have the soulstone, and this old wound in the veil."'''

Lylia smiles slightly and says, "We have never shrunk from doing more with less, though, have we?"

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "Come along, Moravius. We have higher authorities to answer to over what happened."'''

'''Speaking to Viselda, Moravius says, "Laws? How quaint."'''

'''Viselda rolls her eyes.'''

'''Speaking mockingly to Moravius, Viselda says, "Your Highness."'''

'''Moravius says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."'''

'''Viselda says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch. But not him."'''

'''Viselda squints at Moravius.'''

'''Moravius says, "Famous ancestors."'''

'''Moravius shrugs.'''

'''Moravius tears open a rift that he and Viselda walk through.'''

Lost Palestra (storyline)/2026-02-04 - Astrolabe-or of Love (log)

2026-02-05T14:34:13Z

UBERWENCH:

'''You see Blade Viselda the Palestra of Shamsiel Academy.'''

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

She is average height. She appears to be mature. She has long-lashed sea green eyes and dark skin. She has long, platinum hair. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and thin pointed ears.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a barbed high steel claidhmore in her right hand.

She is wearing a long grey cloak, a well-fitting weapon harness, a black leather bodysuit, a lor triskele inset with three wine-veined scarlet despanals, some grey rugged pants, and some black leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Vortelis Infernebrus Faendryl the Guildmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears to be ancient. He has silver-flecked brown eyes and ashen skin. He has shoulder length, thick dark brown hair worn in a single braid. He has a bony face, a sharp nose and tall upswept pointed ears. He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband with a murky shadowglass orb over his face.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his right hand.

He is wearing a shadowy black hood, a suspended void black urglaes sphere with misty veins of crimson, a writhing vortex of shadows, a veniom-threaded grimoire satchel, some incarnadine vathor skin leathers enruned in burning glyphs, some enruned fitted ebon gloves, some tailored dark leather trousers, and some deep black vruul leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Moravius the Veilmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears ageless. He has dark-rimmed jade green eyes and deep umber skin. He has shoulder length, unruly silver hair only partially tamed into a single braid. He has a fine-boned face, an aquiline nose and tall upswept pointed ears.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband, a banded chalcedony cameo, a whorled black leather case, some silver-shot ebon bourde robes with a grey silk tunic notched at the high collar underneath, a bezel-set ruby and silver signet ring, some jet leather leggings, and a pair of polished black leather boots.

'''Moravius says, "Ah, good. Bodies."'''

Amathea quietly says, "Oh dear."

Vivaldi says, "Sounds like ah'm gonna die."

Lylia says, "Encouraging."

The voice of Leafiara says, "I certainly wouldn't count on it being a safe trip, at least."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Thrassus says, "Very possible."

Vivaldi says, "Guess won't be the first.."

'''Vortelis says, "I will be coming along to test the soulstone, as well, though I would like to spend as little time with it near this mountain as possible."'''

(Arelder adjusts his scabbard, leaving his sword sheathed for the moment.)

'''Azure and celadon lights flash in the churning clouds high above, with the occasional mote of golden essence flickering by like a flake of snow.'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes. We should go now. Before the storm intensifies."'''

'''Moravius uses his translucent chalk to outline a large circle upon the ground.'''

'''Moravius put some waxy translucent chalk in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius throws his arms around the air above the summoning circle, forming a swirling cloud of energy, with burning runes emerging from the fabric of reality within the vortex.'''

'''The vortex of energy swirls into a maelstrom, morphing together into solidity, finally stabilizing as a glowing dark red portal.'''

'''Moravius says, "There we are."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a glowing dark red portal.

Thrassus says, "The effects are quite a bit more heavy here."

'''Vortelis says, "This whole land is sick with shadows. It is corruptive even to be here, fortunately we do not have to stay long."'''

Lylia says, "Evocative phrase. 'Sick with shadows.'."

Thrassus says, "Even the sky is corrupted."

[We noticed we were having some trouble with spells...]

Lylia's magic fizzles ineffectually.

Vivaldi says, "Smells bad."

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Perigourd says, "Interesting."

'''Viselda says, "This is more dangerous than that other region."'''

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

The voice of Pukk says, "Ewww anti magics....this is going to be interesting."

The voice of Leafiara calmly agrees, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "And mana-bereft."

Perigourd says, "It would seem the chaos of the shadow breach nullifies the mana flows."

Vivaldi says, "Hells."

Missoni declares, "Perfectly wretched."

Speaking to himself, Earthdiver says, "It's not so bad..."

Winrie says, "I would rather be dragged from here, than smell this air any longer."

Thrassus says, "The mana has been drained away to the shadow plane."

Speaking morosely to Earthdiver, Lylia says, "It is not so bad. It is worse."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "Just kick them."

From behind Earthdiver, Leafiara's voice says, "Just wait until the shadows show up and almost nothing physical damages them either."

'''Moravius says, "The suffocating blanket should raise with the storm."'''

'''The air ripples and warms.'''

[Magic is restored!]

Speaking to Lylia, Missoni says, "Oh, we can do that."

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "Perhaps we ought to have been here earlier. There may have been ample opportunity to trace that mana."

Missoni nods approvingly.

Thrassus says, "That is a good point."

'''Moravius says, "There are certainly anti-magical qualities to the shadows."'''

Missoni murmurs, "That is better."

Lylia says, "As if I needed another reason to dislike them."

'''Moravius says, "I can sense the sinkholes in the Veil. They are that way, closer to the ruins of the city."'''

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver says, "Let us not tarry..."

Missoni murmurs, "It is so thin one can see right to the Shadow Realm."

Arelder raises his oak torch overhead, allowing the flame to illuminate the surroundings better.

'''Moravius says, "Pure darkness is what you would call anti-mana, it is an aspect of the shadows as an energy."'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''Traveling to the peak of this bit of land, the climb is made more steep simply by the volume of bones scattered across the ground. Layer upon layer, the remains are heaped until it is near impossible to even see what lies beneath''

''them. Tendrils of shadow writhe and curl in the air where the rise drops off in a sheer cliff, leaving nothing but crimson clouds of mist to haunt the darkness beyond the field of bones.''

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd asks, "Such as in the rift with the Vvrael?"

Winrie painfully says, "That name again."

'''Moravius says, "That is a collective sentience of anti-mana."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... can we send something through there?"

Monthas says, "The Vvrael have no problem hurling that anti-mana back at me."

Oxhammer says, "Just stay hidden Pukk...everything will work out fine."

'''Moravius looks over and inspects the ripple in the air.'''

'''Moravius removes a phasing black alloy astrolabe from in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius removes a convoluted valencial cartograph from in his black leather case.'''

Perigourd removes a burnished silver spyglass from in his green leather cloak.

Perigourd peers east through his silver spyglass and slowly turns the eyepiece to focus it.

Perigourd polishes his silver spyglass with the edge of his sleeve.

The voice of Pukk asks, "Perigourd, did you look into the right end?"

Perigourd says, "I did, yes."

Perigourd says, "Bit dark here though, unsurprisingly."

'''Moravius hovers the astrolabe near the ripple, gesturing as it phases in and out.'''

Amathea quietly says, "You have to attune the thingy! silly..."

Vortelis says, "Teasing the tail of the dragon."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

[Fighting!]

'''Moravius says, "Impolite."'''

(Raelee moves closer to Moravius, attempting to see the astrolabe and cartograph more closely, seemingly unbothered by the hostiles.)

'''Moravius says, "This narrow passage is too tight. It impractical for forming a stable gateway."'''

Missoni asks, "Perhaps further in, then?"

For a moment, the ground trembles and cracks, and oddly, seems to expand as if stretching outward.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... what else do your readings say?"

Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath Amathea as a glistening ashen bleakworm erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!

[More fighting!]

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Yes then, your readings?"

'''Moravius looks unfazed and continues speaking.'''

Pukk says, "I felt the ground rumble and was just about to tell Leafi that she needs to cut down on the chocolate."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "If we were to try to breach here, we might fall into the interplanar void, or end up in some other valence entirely."'''

Speaking defiantly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Never."

'''Moravius says, "But then it might simply rip us into pieces through the tidal forces."'''

Winrie says, "Amathea..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I'm here somewhere."

'''Moravius points at Amathea, ruining her hiding place.'''

Raelee asks, "Have you any mechanism amongst your tools for sending something inside without following it yourself?"

'''Moravius says, "Hide and seek will not work when you are dead."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk asks, "Oh hi there. Did you know that you are dead?"

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "Have you thought about not dying? It's what everybody is doing now-a-days."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I did, in fact."

Earthdiver says, "Is there someone to raise her."

Winrie says, "She is ready."

Arelder gestures at Amathea.

With each passing moment during Arelder's slow chant, his eyes flutter rhythmically. He folds his right arm and rests his chin upon his hand, then gazes down at the lifeless corpse of Amathea, as if contemplating her existence.

Blinking once, Arelder thrusts his hand over Amathea, and crackling raw power flows from Arelder's fingertips into Amathea.

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "How do you remain in contact with it once it passes through?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Vortelis says, "There is a tether of energy that binds the probe to the sphere, so long as it does not get severed by the forces of the rift."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee says, "... curious."

'''Viselda impatiently says, "We should keep moving, Moravius..."'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

[Oh so much fighting! We lost a few.]

Speaking to Vivaldi, Pukk says, "So, you have died my friend..."

Earthdiver says, "Is there...someone to raise the farmer fellow."

'''Moravius says, "That will not do at all. You could get possessed laying around that way."'''

Leafiara tentatively asks, "Does anyone have a chrism on hand?"

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Ah mean.. fertilizer is fertilzer."

Arelder glumly admits, "I cannot, unfortunately..."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Thrassus says, "Nothing natural will grow here, though."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "For now."

Thrassus says, "Optimistic."

Thrassus snickers.

'''An old church bell rings hauntingly all around you, its distorted sound resonating throughout the broken lands.'''

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Yall run along and ah'll mebbe get the ground a li'l growin' like."

Earthdiver says, "No insects. It is indeed desolate compared to the other parts of the Bleaklands."

Arelder incredulously asks, "Did anyone hear that?"

A melodic chant escapes Leafiara's lips, singing the praises of the joys of living. Leafiara's eyes light up, and a sparkling yellow aura soon surrounds her as she revels in her ceremony. Caught up in the moment, she dances lively

around the body of Vivaldi, the exultant energy flowing from her to Vivaldi with every step. Leafiara takes a small bow at the end of the ritual that has left both her and Vivaldi slightly out of breath.

Speaking offhandedly to Arelder, Leafiara says, "It's, ah... not an uncommon sound around here..."

Leafiara says, "But, truly, what you'd better hope is that it doesn't signal the arrival of echoes of the Blameless."

Speaking to Leafiara, Lylia says, "Do not even speak them into existence."

'''Moravius says, "Blameless? Yes, I suppose we are, blameless in it."'''

Thrassus says, "If it was a few weeks older it would likely have turned into a maw on the end of a vine or something."

Monthas says, "Ohh thats right."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie asks, "What happens when those fruits come home?"

Monthas says, "Dirt from the bleaklands."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia says, "Well, naturally, but this is rather a different sort of...hmm. We can talk about it later."

Speaking to himself, Everall says, "This place..."

Earthdiver says, "Growing anything in this is almost certainly a terrible idea."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "They mean zealots."'''

Earthdiver says, "Unless you grow it here, of course."

Lylia says, "Koarites."

Earthdiver says, "Then it's probably ok."

'''Moravius asks, "Koarites?"'''

'''Moravius frowns.'''

Speaking to Vivaldi, Winrie exclaims, "Not on our watch, turnip!"

Amathea quietly asks, "Devotees?"

'''Moravius says, "Those zealots do not even appreciate demons."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Thrassus says, "A brief description of them would be a political faction that still thinks invading us was a good idea."

Lylia says, "Everblood, zealotry, madness, destruction."

Leafiara says, "They've been here before--in the Bleaklands, that is--but they aren't always."

Winrie exclaims, "Good!"

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Harrower Vortelis, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Harrower Moravius

Winrie exclaims, "Why would anyone?!"

Leafiara says, "But I think I recall seeing them last time we encountered those worms, so..."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

The spectre moans evilly!

[Still more fighting!]

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

'''Moravius exclaims, "There we are!"'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The face of the tumultuous mountain is altogether unlike any that can be found in the waking world. Strips of cloth that may have once been banners peek out from beneath rocks and within crevices, their countenances torn and frayed, making their crests all but unidentifiable. Sandwiched between the boulders that create the base of the range are humanoid limbs that twitch and swat at the empty air from time to time.''

Monthas says, "So much to see and look at."

Thrassus says, "Interesting."

'''Vortelis says, "This one seems more well-formed."'''

Thrassus asks, "Could that be the equivalent to the Reach on the shadow valence?"

(Pukk tries to poke the ripple in the air.)

(Lylia falls silent and peers avidly at the ripple as if searching for something beyond it.)

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

A flickering shadow spectre hisses an evil incantation!

[Periodic bouts of fighting!]

'''Vortelis fixes a small metallic orb to a dark tendril of energy from his urglaes sphere.'''

Arelder concernedly asks, "Is everyone alright?"

Thrassus says, "Quite fine."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "That thing!"

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "Oh..what is the that orb for."

'''The probe vanishes into the ripple of air. The tendril of dark energy flickers around, as if being drawn like a line of rope, then begins thrashing and grows taut.'''

Earthdiver says, "Ah, the probe."

Leafiara steeples her fingers together, quietly observing her surroundings.

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "Is the energy connection stable enough?"

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Thrassus says, "Something must have thought it was bait."

'''Vortelis says, "The issue is that the passage is too violently unstable. But yes, we can gleam some information, in this way."'''

Earthdiver says, "Somewhat like a Familiar, I suppose."

'''Vortelis says, "This will not do. We should get closer to the epicenter of the destruction."'''

Monthas says, "That sounds like a bad idea."

Pukk says, "That is why we are going to do it."

'''Vortelis says, "The shadows will be more intense there, we may be able to use the soulstone on it."'''

Thrassus says, "I have always wondered what it looks like there, anyways."

Earthdiver says, "It will be exciting."

Vivaldi says, "Dead farmers ain't too excitin'."

'''Viselda says, "These particular beasts have been limited. But this is dangerous. There should be more Palestra here right now."'''

Lylia says, "Keenly exciting. I have not seen some of these sights."

Monthas asks, "What is a palestra?"

Amathea quietly says, "More of that insight."

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "A demon slayer."

Speaking to Viselda, Thrassus asks, "As in how many more?"

'''Speaking smugly to Viselda, Moravius asks, "Where are your wandering Palestra of the outlands?"'''

Speaking to Viselda, Earthdiver says, "Do you have any advice."

'''Viselda scowls at Moravius.'''

Speaking to Viselda, Perigourd says, "Some of us here have fair experience at slaying demons as well."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Pukk says, "Don't die."

Speaking to Monthas, Lylia explains, "They are Faendryl expressly trained in the dispatching of demons, among other skills."

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: east, southwest

Monthas says, "Thank you."

Winrie proudly says, "Leave the dying to me."

Monthas says, "Did not know that."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "No!"

(Arelder rests the flat of his blade on his shoulder, tapping it idly.)

'''In the distance you hear a faintly unreal old bell ringing out. Soon this is met with a massing number of decomposing red-eyed bleak knights, shambling toward you with malicious and bloody intent.'''

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Hey!"

Thrassus says, "Ah, here they are."

A cold, dank wind blows in, followed by a decomposing red-eyed bleak knight!

A decomposing red-eyed bleak knight clatters to its feet.

[Fightinnnngggg!]

Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "That is only going to get worse as the storm intensifies."

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The great northern mountains rise up like a wall of jagged, icy fingers in the distance. Their peaks are obscured by heavy black clouds, and the once fresh mountain air has been replaced by the stagnant, putrid odor of burnt flesh and scorched earth. You also see a towering oily black tree.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Earthdiver blinks in surprise, as though just becoming aware of a towering oily black tree's presence.

Thrassus says, "Oh.."

Monthas says, "Black apples."

Winrie exclaims, "Apples!"

Earthdiver says, "Where..where is that black apple fellow."

Perigourd says, "We saw this the last time we came through."

Speaking quietly to himself, Arelder remarks, "Like the old tales..."

[Frequent skirmishes throughout our time here]

Speaking to a towering oily black tree, Thrassus asks, "Well aren't you magnificent?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Look at how big it is!"

Speaking encouragingly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "You made it so far. No giving up now!"

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "It looks taller when you are lying down, I have no doubt."

Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius says, "Yes, I know. The situation is improving by the minute."

Thrassus asks, "I do wonder if the fruit are the same as the ones in the orchard?"

Leafiara says, "Ah, good, now we more demonstrably prove that these black apples are different than the other black apples."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we have someone to raise her?"

Leafiara says, "Oh, I thought she wanted to be fed to the tree."

Speaking firmly to a towering oily black tree, Arelder says, "Cold steel and prayer..."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "Still not buried!"

Leafiara reassuringly exclaims, "Maybe next time with some other tree!"

'''Moravius says, "Unfortunately we have other experiments remaining."'''

Perigourd says, "Plenty of nicer trees to be absorbed by."

Perigourd nods slowly.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Thus we should continue, yes? What is next?"

'''Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius asks, "There is one near here, can you feel it?"'''

'''Vortelis nods at Moravius.'''

'''Vortelis says, "Near the ruins to the north."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went north.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

Rows and rows of crumbled, charred stones are strewn about the broken landscape where the towering walls of Talador once stood. Even the wind is hot, swirling around and scattering ash and smoldering debris all about. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: south

Vivaldi says, "Still smells bad here."

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The air hums with an unseen energy, and tendrils of deep shadow trail across the ground like snakes hungrily searching for prey. In the distance, a scarlet light pulses, distorting the bruised sky and smearing the colors like so much paint under an artist's brush.''

Thrassus says, "Oh, we are at the center for certain."

Lylia quietly says, "It smells cleaner than Chaston Griffin's camps."

Lylia purses her lips in a thin line of disapproval.

Earthdiver says, "At least it is warm here."

'''Moravius tweaks the index of the astrolabe along the ecliptic hyperbolic engraved on its rete, looking between his map and the rift as well as the mater.'''

Pukk says, "It's so quiet."

Pukk says, "And peaceful."

Vivaldi says, "So's a grave."

The voice of Pukk says, "I better hide."

Winrie says, "Warm, like a fermenting pile."

Thrassus says, "That light..."

'''Speaking to himself, Moravius says, "This is the best we are going to be able to do, unless the veil is totally broken through somewhere in that wreckage."'''

Thrassus says, "That's the center."

'''Vortelis says, "I will check to see if this rift can be used to charge the soulstone."'''

Monthas asks, "What does the soulstone look like?"

'''Vortelis says, "If I can get a reasonable amount of shadows into it, we can try to open a test portal to the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Vortelis removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in his vortex of shadows.'''

'''Vortelis says, "It looks approximately like this."'''

Monthas produces a gleaming multicolored soulstone from the depths of his spidersilk duster.

Monthas says, "Different than mine."

'''Vortelis holds up two fingers and slowly pinches them together until they are almost touching.'''

Lylia says, "It is pale now, but it was once a vibrant red."

Lylia explains, "It belonged to Aralyte, a Palestra Blade who was instrumental in destroying Althedeus, a sentient creature of shadows that sought godhood."

'''Vortelis brings the pale soulstone up to the ripple in the air and utters some arcane incantations in Faendryl.'''

Earthdiver says, "Godhood sounds like so much...responsibility."

'''The soulstone begins to glow red. Vortelis winces as it heats up and pulses.'''

Lylia quietly says, "She remained within the shadows."

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Arelder explains, "I know we have bigger problems than my memories... but it is a strange feeling seeing it. I grew up a bit west of here... we only rarely visited the capital. These stones seem like they should speak to me. But yet... they don't."

Perigourd nods grimly at Arelder.

'''Writhing shadows bleed through the ripple in the air, forming wispy tendrils that peel off the rift, which get drawn toward the soulstone and siphon into it.'''

Speaking gently to Arelder, Missoni says, "It cannot be an easy thing to see."

Thrassus says, "That pulsing light in the distance just might be where the bells are coming from."

(Winrie spreads her arms wide.)

Speaking quietly to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... are there no further readings to take with the astrolabe or quasi-sphere?"

'''Vortelis swaps the bright red soulstone to his left hand. His right hand is visibly burned on the palm with the imprint of the soulstone on it.'''

Thrassus says, "He is likely there."

Everall glances over at Vortelis and winces.

Earthdiver says, "That heated up surprisingly fast."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk says, "You should see a healer about that."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "He is going to try to fully open the rift into a portal."'''

Winrie flatly says, "Or, maybe not see one."

'''Moravius says, "Which would allow us to walk in ourselves."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia murmurs, "I have held fires that burned me to the bone. It is nothing we cannot bear."

Monthas asks, "First trip to the bleaklands, and then we go to shadow?"

'''The air abruptly grows cold, the shadows suddenly seem alive.'''

Earthdiver says, "That feels better."

A fluid shadowy bleakwalker drifts in smoothly, trailed by a shadowy haze.

The dark power of the shadowy bleakwalker draws at Grhim.

[Fights...so many fights.]

Vivaldi glances at a delicate azure bonnet.

Vivaldi says, "Killed some poor granny."

'''Vortelis says, "We will do a penetration test on the rift with the soulstone, as Moravius was saying, seeing if it might be able to form a stable portal to the Shadows valence."'''

Thrassus says, "That was a bleakworm."

Thrassus says, "Not a granny."

Lylia says, "A city died here. More than one 'granny' died, I am certain."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "It may have eaten one, however."

Thrassus says, "Fair point."

'''Vortelis says, "It is not charged fully. But siphoning directly off this rift was fairly fast."'''

Missoni says, "That is promising."

'''Vortelis says, "Hopefully my hand does not transform into a tentacle."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Perigourd says, "Perhaps it can siphon the entirey and close this.. tear."

Speaking quietly to Vortelis, Amathea says, "It might be an improvement."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "That could be exciting."

Monthas says, "That would be a deal breaker."

Lylia says, "On the other hand -- or tentacle -- it could be useful."

Vivaldi says, "Easier to scratch wit tho."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk exclaims, "But if it does think of how quickly you can eat food then!"

Missoni says, "That would be fascinating."

'''Vortelis confusedly says, "What? More shadows would only deepen the tear."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Thrassus asks, "Is something wrong?"

'''Vortelis chants in a dark tongue and faces the ripple, swapping the soulstone back to his burned hand and reaching out with it.'''

'''A flash of bright red light ripples outward into the Bleaklands.'''

Monthas says, "Thats the "hello we are here" beacon."

Thrassus says, "That's going to get more attention."

Earthdiver says, "A price for everything."

'''The tear in the fabric of reality looks unstable for a moment, and a bolt of energy soars off it, lashing past Vortelis and arcing up into the night!'''

'''More skin peels back from Vortelis's fingers, leaving ribbons of incarnadine blood and bone in its wake.'''

Pukk says, "I guess shooting a demon with a bow is still not going to work."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia hisses, "Steady on."

'''The light within Vortelis's talisman begins to churn and slowly dissipate until it grows paler, murky, then dull white.'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim says, "The lantern enjoys the taste of other shadows."

Speaking to Vortelis, Vivaldi says, "Don't look too good feller."

Earthdiver says, "How does that keep happening."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "I think they have it out for you."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "You know...I'm starting to think you like being dead."

'''The ripple in the air becomes darker, and the world beyond it begins to melt away, slowly turning bright red as if blood were seeping out across it.'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "It's a small price for knowledge."

Thrassus says, "It's stabilizing."

Vortelis carefully surveys his surroundings.

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Sure! I like risks."

Leafiara agrees, "Well, alright then!"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "It is beautiful."

Leafiara says, "I like the spirit."

Speaking to Leafiara, Winrie says, "Go easy."

'''The bloody hue dims away. Through the rift are shifting vistas of black skeletal trees, piles of bones, cliffs of crimson haze, iron chains through the skies, and a floating island of flesh stabbed through with obsidian. It keeps unstably expanding and contracting.'''

Vortelis gazes with interest at a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver asks, "What does that mean?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "I'm quite sure the bleaklands don't quite look like that."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's quite the sight."

Missoni murmurs, "Remarkable."

'''Vortelis exclaims, "Gah!"'''

'''The soulstone suddenly glows intensely bright and fires a beam of red into western sky!'''

'''Vortelis falls over.'''

'''The storm above Melgorehn's Reach is struck with a beam of red light. Its clouds turn bloody red, and for a moment time slows to a crawl, then suddenly snap back with a tidal wave of bright red light!'''

Missoni says, "Mind the storm."

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... curious that the energies can be so attracted to the storm at the Reach, even at this distance. One wonders how far that connection could extend..."

'''Vortelis dusts himself off.'''

'''Vortelis glances at a light red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his hand.'''

'''Moravius asks, "The veil is thinning all around us. Vortelis?"'''

Oxhammer says, "Sounds like landin starting to pop."

'''Space itself seems to thin out and stretch, and what little color there is wanes in the bleak lands. The landscape itself seems like a mirage of black trees and soil of flesh threatening to become real.'''

Vivaldi says, "Soil of flesh."

Vivaldi says, "Nawps."

Vivaldi says, "No."

Thrassus says, "It might have stabilized things too much."

(Lylia flicks her gaze uneasily to the south.)

Perigourd says, "One might concur."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we?"

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Not yet!"

'''Vortelis says, "Hold."'''

'''The whites of Vortelis's eyes go dark as he chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

'''Shadows peel off the rift and begin forming into masses of eyes and shadowy tentacles...'''

Monthas says, "Umm."

Thrassus says, "More of them."

(Winrie covers her face with her right arm.)

A massive tenebrous oculoth's central eye suddenly bleeds with a variety of hues, the colors roiling in a shadowy vortex until it finally blossoms with a solid incarnadine hue.

[Big fights!]

Vivaldi says, "Nawp nawp nawp nawp."

Amathea quietly says, "What is THAT."

Earthdiver says, "Ahhh. Finally."

Thrassus says, "Oculoth."

Earthdiver says, "My favorite animal."

Leafiara pleasedly says, "It's been too long."

Speaking to Amathea, Vivaldi says, "Nasty buggers."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "It's a giant eye with teeth."

Lylia says, "Do not implode them."

Pukk asks, "Implode them?"

Earthdiver says, "They...eat...the voids."

Lylia says, "I learned that lesson the hard way."

Earthdiver says, "And will vomit them on you."

Monthas says, "Eww."

Lylia says, "Messily."

Earthdiver says, "What do we have...that attracted the oculoths."

Earthdiver says, "They are normally such uh..peaceful creatures."

Speaking to Amathea, Leafiara exclaims, "We'll make sure it's clear first!"

'''Vortelis keeps incanting with his urglaes sphere hovering between him and the rift. The soulstone streams a thread of darkness and incarnadine light through the sphere into the rift.'''

Leafiara muses, "Relatively speaking..."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "We will defend you."

Speaking concernedly to Amathea, Winrie says, "If you keep dying, you might not come back."

'''The rift becomes black as midnight, and pierced with two feystone lights.'''

Monthas asks, "Glowing eyes?"

Monthas says, "Or something else."

Leafiara says, "Ah, that's what she looked like last time, I believe."

'''The darkness of the rift resolves around the feystone lights, which burn in the shadowy orbs in the face of a dark elven woman, with a bald head and blood red sigils over her eyes. She is surrounded in blood, and her body is wreathed in shadow. She reaches a shadowy arm out toward you as from the other side of a dark mirror.'''

Perigourd says, "That doesn't seem right."

Thrassus says, "It's Aralyte."

Pukk says, "Yeah..doesn't look crazy at all."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Oh, I am not far..."

Winrie exasperatedly exclaims, "It better be!"

Speaking to himself, Arelder remarks, "No... it can't be..."

Thrassus says, "She's closing the rift, it seems."

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim asks, "Have you been inside of there?"

Leafiara says, "Was more or less what she looked like last time..."

Lylia says, "Many of us have been in the realm of shadows."

'''The soulstone burns hot and bright.'''

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Well, you are married to Xorus so..."

Earthdiver says, "Seems like we are still good."

'''Vortelis says, "I have to get this away from here, you should get back to the portal."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Missoni says, "Surely you will not remain."

Lylia says, "Get it away from here how? I left her; I do not intend to leave you."

Monthas asks, "Are we raising or dragging?"

Earthdiver says, "At this rate, we could persist indefinitely."

'''Vortelis says, "Through a rift, away from these sinkholes, and the mana storm."'''

'''Vortelis says, "For now."'''

Earthdiver says, "Most of us."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie asks, "Do you still have deeds?"

Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Arelder replies, "But not with body and soul together."

'''Vortelis tears open space and disappears through it.'''

Leafiara slowly says, "Ah, correction, no, I'm not raising... she died again too quickly."

Thrassus says, "That means we move."

Monthas says, "So drag it is."

'''There is a loud, demonic shrieking through the ripple, which once again becomes unstable and contracts.'''

Earthdiver says, "I wonder what that one could be."

Monthas says, "Ohh yeah we dragging."

Lylia says, "We do not need to drag her."

Earthdiver says, "It has been SOO long since I have talked with a demon of some ability."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "That's probably not good."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia asks, "Do you object to animation?"

Vivaldi says, "A critter."

Pukk exclaims, "Ooh animate her!"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Nope!"

Pukk exclaims, "That's always fun!"

Monthas says, "That works."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Can't die if i'm dead."

Monthas says, "You sorceress are so efficient."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk exclaims, "And if Lylia wants she can make you explode too!"

Moravius reluctantly says, "This rift is not viable for us. We should leave this place."

Speaking to Lylia, Grhim says, "You never miss the opportunity to reanimate a corpse."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie says, "You are now an apple."

Monthas asks, "Wait, did he go into that rift?"

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "He fled."

Speaking to Monthas, Earthdiver says, "A personal rift."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "A fancy apple."

Lylia says, "His own rift."

Thrassus says, "He went into a different one he created."

Lylia says, "He did not flee so much as he took a dangerous object out of immediate proximity to the rift."

Speaking offhandedly to Amathea, Lylia says, "There may be some side effects. They are usually mild once you are raised."

Thrassus asks, "Where's Moravius?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Where indeed."

'''The voice of Moravius says, "Rejoin on me."'''

Earthdiver says, "You are...not apparent."

Lylia says, "You have gotten lost in the darkness."

Leafiara says, "There he is."

Earthdiver says, "Can we stay a while yet."

Thrassus says, "I was worried for a moment."

Pukk says, "Landing is being invaded."

[Fighting breaks out as we make our way toward the portal.]

'''Moravius says, "We are almost there."'''

Earthdiver says, "I would like to have an oculoth one day."

Speaking to Pukk, Perigourd says, "Not surprising considering the Reach pulled some of the portal it looked like."

'''The sky darkens as a huge, mammoth oily black mass peels away from dark patches in the sky. Its gargantuan maggot-like body is a shadowy abomination of arms and thousands of teeth. It slowly descends toward you in the direction of the portal.'''

'''Moravius gazes up into the heavens.'''

'''Moravius says, "Fascinating."'''

Thrassus says, "Another one..."

Leafiara says, "Ahh, the maggot abomination..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Curious."

Missoni says, "One of those...things."

Earthdiver says, "That could be a large one."

Thrassus says, "They can be killed."

Perigourd says, "Most things can."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk says, "He says many of the things you always say. I think you might be related."

'''The massive shadowy blob of abomination moves closer with its tendrils and jagged teeth.'''

Speaking to Pukk, Raelee says, "We are not."

Perigourd says, "Though with the town imperiled, we may wish to assist there."

'''Moravius says, "Ah, yes. I should get that portal closed."'''

Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a yellow verlok feather, a glowing dark red portal, a lazy wild deep red dog, a wide-beaked copper verlok'asha that is flying around, a phantasmal indigo-eyed eel that is flying around, a mutilated shadowy Ithzir gibbet, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees, a cedar chip path and a shielded worker encampment.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Earthdiver, Vivaldi, Perigourd, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Winrie, Moravius

(Winrie adjusts her jaw.)

Perigourd says, "I'm going to aid in town."

Leafiara says, "Likewise."

Monthas says, "Thank the gods, we are back."

Thrassus says, "While the pylons can kill the things, it's still a hard fight."

Monthas says, "Not that I didn't enjoy my first trip to the Bleaklands."

A faint song draws attention to an odd silhouette that fades into a shadowy Ithzir omenbearer!

A shadowy Ithzir omenbearer raises her arms as she sings!

[Everyone's least favorite fight!]

'''Moravius walks over to the encampment and picks up a spear of kroderine, then walks back and hurls it into the shadowy portal!'''

'''The shadowy portal abruptly and violently collapses!'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly asks, "Oh great...these things followed us through?"

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "That is a handy spear."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "They lead us here!"

Thrassus says, "No, they are manifesting here."

Lylia says, "Not any more, I believe."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Ooohh.....it's all a bit of a blur."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "That stupid stone!"

Earthdiver says, "It looks like the town needs a hand."

'''The dark red in the storm clouds of Melgorehn's Reach slowly bleeds away, becoming replaced again with azure and celadon flashes of light.'''

'''Moravius says, "That is marginally better."'''

'''Moravius put a phasing black alloy astrolabe in his black leather case.'''

Thrassus says, "Somewhat, yes."

'''Moravius put a convoluted valencial cartograph in his black leather case.'''

Shadows in the surface of the lake pulse with dark crimson light, for a moment vaguely resembling an otherworldly landscape in its depths.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "From your readings, what is the primary source of instability in those ruptures?"

'''Moravius says, "If you had all died like this sooner, it would have made triangulating faster."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... for if we could find a way to stabilize them, it seems it would be better both for research and charging the soulstone..."

Speaking to Moravius, Vivaldi says, "Ah already died twice.."

Speaking to Amathea, the ghostly voice of Winrie says, "We did our paty."

'''Moravius says, "It is the chaos of the Bleaklands, and the haphazard way they are formed."'''

Speaking quietly to Winrie, the ghostly voice of Amathea exclaims, "We sure did!"

'''Moravius says, "Eventually they may collapse more fully into portals."'''

Thrassus says, "They might be easier to close at that point."

'''Moravius says, "But it seems quite likely we could get ourselves stranded in the Shadow Realm if we forced one open and it did not hold."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... then we ought to ensure it holds, yes?"

[missing part of log]

'''Viselda incredulously asks, "What Prelate?"'''

Thrassus says, "Chaston Griffon of course."

Thrassus asks, "You saw that red pulsing light in the distance through the rift, yes?"

Thrassus says, "That might be him."

'''Moravius asks, "In the Shadow Realm?"'''

Thrassus says, "Indeed."

Lylia firmly says, "Prelate Chaston Griffin is a smear of oily soot on a pair of my once-favorite boots and the reason I cannot wear them anymore."

'''Moravius says, "Vortelis is more versed in the history of the Bleaklands than myself."'''

Lylia says, "If any shred of him remains, I shall be happy to sacrifice another pair of boots."

Speaking to herself, Lylia murmurs, "Although perhaps not this pair."

Thrassus says, "Suffice it to say a witch's device detonated in the capital and created the Bleaklands."

Thrassus says, "Taking the Prelate and most of his Blameless along with it."

Perigourd says, "It may just be my persepctive, but it looked like Aralyte dirtected them to attack us."

Thrassus says, "I suspect it might not have destroyed them, however."

'''Speaking to Perigourd, Viselda says, "That was how I perceived it."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Lylia reluctantly says, "I have said before that she must be found. That is one of the reasons why."

Thrassus says, "Those tendrils she directed were reaching for the rift, it appeared to me."

Missoni carefully says, "She was reaching for us. Perhaps she was unaware of the effect she was having."

'''Moravius says, "We did not see her very long."'''

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Lylia says, "I thought that too. It was...ambiguous, in all the chaos."

Earthdiver says, "If only we had some way to track her presence in the Bleaklands."

Perigourd says, "She seemed imbued with shadow, herself."

'''Moravius says, "But there were these Ithzir, as well as shadow entities, spilling out into the Bleaklands from it."'''

Leafiara says, "We're dealing with shadows that appear like Ithzir and might not be them, so it's not implausible to face shadows that also appear like Aralyte and might not be her."

Leafiara says, "Just theorizing."

Perigourd asks, "Is there a point at which the shadows so saturate a person that they cannot be separated from them?"

Leafiara adds, "Although the soulstone does cast doubt on that particular one..."

'''Moravius says, "Siphoning energy out is one thing, but the mutations caused are something else."'''

Lylia says, "I do not recall her name. She spent a great deal of time with Cruxophim. She was so thoroughly taken by shadows that she may as well have been one."

'''Viselda says, "That would be settled with observation and treatment in a thaumaturgical asylum."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "And how many of those mutations are supported by the shadows? Are they survivable without the shadows?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "That is a difficulty. Aberrations often become physically dependent."'''

'''Moravius says, "Or they might be able to sustain themselves in some parasitic fashion."'''

Lylia stiffly says, "If she is contaminated in this way, then we must still find her."

Thrassus says, "Another concern is that titanic leech."

'''Viselda says, "I consider this a Palestra matter at this point. But that will be up to the Basilican Magistrate and Dracovir."'''

Thrassus says, "It very well may eventually make its way here."

Thrassus says, "That's what the last one did."

Speaking to Lylia, Earthdiver says, "I have been working on a device to track shadow energy. Perhaps it could be of some use."

Thrassus says, "It scented its prey in the Bleaklands and slowly floated its way here."

Lylia quietly says, "Perhaps. I hope that it might."

'''Moravius says, "The tracing methods will prove useful, even if now it is a virtual certainty that it is all stemming from this valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "You know, it is like saying, Korvath is somewhere on Elanthia."'''

'''Moravius says, "But I think Vortelis will want to enter the Shadows valence from here at Lake Eonak."'''

Thrassus says, "That's likely the safest option."

Perigourd says, "Considering that the breach expanded to the Reach here, it would seem from a safety standpoint to presume the same risks."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia asks, "Do you have an idea of the time we may expect this to occur?"

Lylia says, "I understand there is some randomness. Periodicity is not predictable with these storms."

'''Moravius says, "The storm cycle is dying down, probably for a month."'''

'''Moravius says, "We would be using the mana storm to help keep the portal propped open when we need it."'''

Lylia adds, "And Harrower Vortelis? He is safe?"

'''Moravius tilts his head and his eyes glaze over.'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes. Vortelis is elsewhere, waiting out the storm."'''

Lylia says, "Good."

'''Moravius says, "He may be in some trouble for hitting it with that beam."'''

'''Moravius says, "With the Archchancellor, I mean."'''

Lylia says, "Trouble follows in the hinterlands; it is just what happens."

'''Moravius says, "But it was chaos. These things happen."'''

Lylia says, "Just so."

'''Moravius says, "He was only half-joking about his hand. That was an intense exposure to shadows."'''

Thrassus says, "It did seem a bit stronger than anitcipated."

Speaking to Moravius, Everall asks, "Will he recover from that?"

'''Moravius says, "We will probably recharge it in a slower way."'''

Earthdiver says, "It happens."

Lylia says, "I did not mean to offend with my jest about the utility of having a tentacle. Nor should he take any comments about Ivas amiss."

'''Speaking to Everall, Moravius says, "If it is just a flesh wound."'''

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "I've seen some mages recreate hands out of pure fire essence."

Lylia says, "I have had...similar incidents with burns to the hands."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... I recall."

'''Moravius says, "Fortunately the storming was relatively mild. I would hate.. well, no... Viselda would hate it, if it were a much stronger volatility."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Everall says, "I suppose I was unaware whether these circumstances would be treated differently."

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "They may very well be."

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd says, "I suspect I share her view."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "You will be the death of us."'''

Arelder wearily says, "Forgive me for parting. This evening has been... overwhelming."

Arelder wearily continues, "...and I wish to be alone."

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "I'll have to work on a report for Sir Guarrin."

Missoni says, "We shall turn in, in that case."

'''Moravius says, "It is virtually certain we will have to go to the Shadow Realm now."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... that will be interesting."

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "I am happy to accompany."

'''Viselda says, "Dracovir will not allow a Palestra to be in that condition, left to her own devices in a demonic valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes, well. There is that, as well."'''

Lylia says, "We have been before. We shall go again. I have been eager -- well, no. I have been certain that returning is necessary. I would not say I am eager for it, however."

Thrassus says, "I don't think anyone was planning on leaving her in that state."

'''Viselda flatly says, "Yes. That."'''

Lylia firmly says, "I never have. I have sought to return for a decade."

Lylia says, "I know you have as well, and many others."

'''Moravius says, "It is a difficult and perilous place to harrow, we would not ordinarily try to go to that valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "The rift we will have to make to it will be relatively dangerous."'''

Lylia says, "We do what we must."

'''Viselda says, "The threat obviously outweights the hazard now."'''

Lylia says, "It was not easy when she used the Staff of Ith'can."

'''Moravius says, "That Ur-Daemon relic is presumably still in the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Moravius says, "We will only have the soulstone, and this old wound in the veil."'''

Lylia smiles slightly and says, "We have never shrunk from doing more with less, though, have we?"

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "Come along, Moravius. We have higher authorities to answer to over what happened."'''

'''Speaking to Viselda, Moravius says, "Laws? How quaint."'''

'''Viselda rolls her eyes.'''

'''Speaking mockingly to Moravius, Viselda says, "Your Highness."'''

'''Moravius says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."'''

'''Viselda says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch. But not him."'''

'''Viselda squints at Moravius.'''

'''Moravius says, "Famous ancestors."'''

'''Moravius shrugs.'''

'''Moravius tears open a rift that he and Viselda walk through.'''

Lost Palestra (storyline)/2026-02-04 - Astrolabe-or of Love (log)

2026-02-05T14:28:59Z

UBERWENCH:

'''You see Blade Viselda the Palestra of Shamsiel Academy.'''

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

She is average height. She appears to be mature. She has long-lashed sea green eyes and dark skin. She has long, platinum hair. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and thin pointed ears.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a barbed high steel claidhmore in her right hand.

She is wearing a long grey cloak, a well-fitting weapon harness, a black leather bodysuit, a lor triskele inset with three wine-veined scarlet despanals, some grey rugged pants, and some black leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Moravius the Veilmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears ageless. He has dark-rimmed jade green eyes and deep umber skin. He has shoulder length, unruly silver hair only partially tamed into a single braid. He has a fine-boned face, an aquiline nose and tall upswept pointed ears.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband, a banded chalcedony cameo, a whorled black leather case, some silver-shot ebon bourde robes with a grey silk tunic notched at the high collar underneath, a bezel-set ruby and silver signet ring, some jet leather leggings, and a pair of polished black leather boots.

'''Moravius says, "Ah, good. Bodies."'''

Amathea quietly says, "Oh dear."

Vivaldi says, "Sounds like ah'm gonna die."

Lylia says, "Encouraging."

The voice of Leafiara says, "I certainly wouldn't count on it being a safe trip, at least."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Thrassus says, "Very possible."

Vivaldi says, "Guess won't be the first.."

'''Vortelis says, "I will be coming along to test the soulstone, as well, though I would like to spend as little time with it near this mountain as possible."'''

(Arelder adjusts his scabbard, leaving his sword sheathed for the moment.)

'''Azure and celadon lights flash in the churning clouds high above, with the occasional mote of golden essence flickering by like a flake of snow.'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes. We should go now. Before the storm intensifies."'''

'''Moravius uses his translucent chalk to outline a large circle upon the ground.'''

'''Moravius put some waxy translucent chalk in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius throws his arms around the air above the summoning circle, forming a swirling cloud of energy, with burning runes emerging from the fabric of reality within the vortex.'''

'''The vortex of energy swirls into a maelstrom, morphing together into solidity, finally stabilizing as a glowing dark red portal.'''

'''Moravius says, "There we are."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a glowing dark red portal.

Thrassus says, "The effects are quite a bit more heavy here."

'''Vortelis says, "This whole land is sick with shadows. It is corruptive even to be here, fortunately we do not have to stay long."'''

Lylia says, "Evocative phrase. 'Sick with shadows.'."

Thrassus says, "Even the sky is corrupted."

[We noticed we were having some trouble with spells...]

Lylia's magic fizzles ineffectually.

Vivaldi says, "Smells bad."

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Perigourd says, "Interesting."

'''Viselda says, "This is more dangerous than that other region."'''

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

The voice of Pukk says, "Ewww anti magics....this is going to be interesting."

The voice of Leafiara calmly agrees, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "And mana-bereft."

Perigourd says, "It would seem the chaos of the shadow breach nullifies the mana flows."

Vivaldi says, "Hells."

Missoni declares, "Perfectly wretched."

Speaking to himself, Earthdiver says, "It's not so bad..."

Winrie says, "I would rather be dragged from here, than smell this air any longer."

Thrassus says, "The mana has been drained away to the shadow plane."

Speaking morosely to Earthdiver, Lylia says, "It is not so bad. It is worse."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "Just kick them."

From behind Earthdiver, Leafiara's voice says, "Just wait until the shadows show up and almost nothing physical damages them either."

'''Moravius says, "The suffocating blanket should raise with the storm."'''

'''The air ripples and warms.'''

[Magic is restored!]

Speaking to Lylia, Missoni says, "Oh, we can do that."

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "Perhaps we ought to have been here earlier. There may have been ample opportunity to trace that mana."

Missoni nods approvingly.

Thrassus says, "That is a good point."

'''Moravius says, "There are certainly anti-magical qualities to the shadows."'''

Missoni murmurs, "That is better."

Lylia says, "As if I needed another reason to dislike them."

'''Moravius says, "I can sense the sinkholes in the Veil. They are that way, closer to the ruins of the city."'''

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver says, "Let us not tarry..."

Missoni murmurs, "It is so thin one can see right to the Shadow Realm."

Arelder raises his oak torch overhead, allowing the flame to illuminate the surroundings better.

'''Moravius says, "Pure darkness is what you would call anti-mana, it is an aspect of the shadows as an energy."'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''Traveling to the peak of this bit of land, the climb is made more steep simply by the volume of bones scattered across the ground. Layer upon layer, the remains are heaped until it is near impossible to even see what lies beneath''

''them. Tendrils of shadow writhe and curl in the air where the rise drops off in a sheer cliff, leaving nothing but crimson clouds of mist to haunt the darkness beyond the field of bones.''

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd asks, "Such as in the rift with the Vvrael?"

Winrie painfully says, "That name again."

'''Moravius says, "That is a collective sentience of anti-mana."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... can we send something through there?"

Monthas says, "The Vvrael have no problem hurling that anti-mana back at me."

Oxhammer says, "Just stay hidden Pukk...everything will work out fine."

'''Moravius looks over and inspects the ripple in the air.'''

'''Moravius removes a phasing black alloy astrolabe from in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius removes a convoluted valencial cartograph from in his black leather case.'''

Perigourd removes a burnished silver spyglass from in his green leather cloak.

Perigourd peers east through his silver spyglass and slowly turns the eyepiece to focus it.

Perigourd polishes his silver spyglass with the edge of his sleeve.

The voice of Pukk asks, "Perigourd, did you look into the right end?"

Perigourd says, "I did, yes."

Perigourd says, "Bit dark here though, unsurprisingly."

'''Moravius hovers the astrolabe near the ripple, gesturing as it phases in and out.'''

Amathea quietly says, "You have to attune the thingy! silly..."

Vortelis says, "Teasing the tail of the dragon."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

[Fighting!]

'''Moravius says, "Impolite."'''

(Raelee moves closer to Moravius, attempting to see the astrolabe and cartograph more closely, seemingly unbothered by the hostiles.)

'''Moravius says, "This narrow passage is too tight. It impractical for forming a stable gateway."'''

Missoni asks, "Perhaps further in, then?"

For a moment, the ground trembles and cracks, and oddly, seems to expand as if stretching outward.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... what else do your readings say?"

Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath Amathea as a glistening ashen bleakworm erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!

[More fighting!]

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Yes then, your readings?"

'''Moravius looks unfazed and continues speaking.'''

Pukk says, "I felt the ground rumble and was just about to tell Leafi that she needs to cut down on the chocolate."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "If we were to try to breach here, we might fall into the interplanar void, or end up in some other valence entirely."'''

Speaking defiantly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Never."

'''Moravius says, "But then it might simply rip us into pieces through the tidal forces."'''

Winrie says, "Amathea..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I'm here somewhere."

'''Moravius points at Amathea, ruining her hiding place.'''

Raelee asks, "Have you any mechanism amongst your tools for sending something inside without following it yourself?"

'''Moravius says, "Hide and seek will not work when you are dead."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk asks, "Oh hi there. Did you know that you are dead?"

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "Have you thought about not dying? It's what everybody is doing now-a-days."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I did, in fact."

Earthdiver says, "Is there someone to raise her."

Winrie says, "She is ready."

Arelder gestures at Amathea.

With each passing moment during Arelder's slow chant, his eyes flutter rhythmically. He folds his right arm and rests his chin upon his hand, then gazes down at the lifeless corpse of Amathea, as if contemplating her existence.

Blinking once, Arelder thrusts his hand over Amathea, and crackling raw power flows from Arelder's fingertips into Amathea.

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "How do you remain in contact with it once it passes through?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Vortelis says, "There is a tether of energy that binds the probe to the sphere, so long as it does not get severed by the forces of the rift."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee says, "... curious."

'''Viselda impatiently says, "We should keep moving, Moravius..."'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

[Oh so much fighting! We lost a few.]

Speaking to Vivaldi, Pukk says, "So, you have died my friend..."

Earthdiver says, "Is there...someone to raise the farmer fellow."

'''Moravius says, "That will not do at all. You could get possessed laying around that way."'''

Leafiara tentatively asks, "Does anyone have a chrism on hand?"

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Ah mean.. fertilizer is fertilzer."

Arelder glumly admits, "I cannot, unfortunately..."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Thrassus says, "Nothing natural will grow here, though."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "For now."

Thrassus says, "Optimistic."

Thrassus snickers.

'''An old church bell rings hauntingly all around you, its distorted sound resonating throughout the broken lands.'''

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Yall run along and ah'll mebbe get the ground a li'l growin' like."

Earthdiver says, "No insects. It is indeed desolate compared to the other parts of the Bleaklands."

Arelder incredulously asks, "Did anyone hear that?"

A melodic chant escapes Leafiara's lips, singing the praises of the joys of living. Leafiara's eyes light up, and a sparkling yellow aura soon surrounds her as she revels in her ceremony. Caught up in the moment, she dances lively

around the body of Vivaldi, the exultant energy flowing from her to Vivaldi with every step. Leafiara takes a small bow at the end of the ritual that has left both her and Vivaldi slightly out of breath.

Speaking offhandedly to Arelder, Leafiara says, "It's, ah... not an uncommon sound around here..."

Leafiara says, "But, truly, what you'd better hope is that it doesn't signal the arrival of echoes of the Blameless."

Speaking to Leafiara, Lylia says, "Do not even speak them into existence."

'''Moravius says, "Blameless? Yes, I suppose we are, blameless in it."'''

Thrassus says, "If it was a few weeks older it would likely have turned into a maw on the end of a vine or something."

Monthas says, "Ohh thats right."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie asks, "What happens when those fruits come home?"

Monthas says, "Dirt from the bleaklands."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia says, "Well, naturally, but this is rather a different sort of...hmm. We can talk about it later."

Speaking to himself, Everall says, "This place..."

Earthdiver says, "Growing anything in this is almost certainly a terrible idea."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "They mean zealots."'''

Earthdiver says, "Unless you grow it here, of course."

Lylia says, "Koarites."

Earthdiver says, "Then it's probably ok."

'''Moravius asks, "Koarites?"'''

'''Moravius frowns.'''

Speaking to Vivaldi, Winrie exclaims, "Not on our watch, turnip!"

Amathea quietly asks, "Devotees?"

'''Moravius says, "Those zealots do not even appreciate demons."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Thrassus says, "A brief description of them would be a political faction that still thinks invading us was a good idea."

Lylia says, "Everblood, zealotry, madness, destruction."

Leafiara says, "They've been here before--in the Bleaklands, that is--but they aren't always."

Winrie exclaims, "Good!"

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Harrower Vortelis, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Harrower Moravius

Winrie exclaims, "Why would anyone?!"

Leafiara says, "But I think I recall seeing them last time we encountered those worms, so..."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

The spectre moans evilly!

[Still more fighting!]

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

'''Moravius exclaims, "There we are!"'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The face of the tumultuous mountain is altogether unlike any that can be found in the waking world. Strips of cloth that may have once been banners peek out from beneath rocks and within crevices, their countenances torn and frayed, making their crests all but unidentifiable. Sandwiched between the boulders that create the base of the range are humanoid limbs that twitch and swat at the empty air from time to time.''

Monthas says, "So much to see and look at."

Thrassus says, "Interesting."

'''Vortelis says, "This one seems more well-formed."'''

Thrassus asks, "Could that be the equivalent to the Reach on the shadow valence?"

(Pukk tries to poke the ripple in the air.)

(Lylia falls silent and peers avidly at the ripple as if searching for something beyond it.)

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

A flickering shadow spectre hisses an evil incantation!

[Periodic bouts of fighting!]

'''Vortelis fixes a small metallic orb to a dark tendril of energy from his urglaes sphere.'''

Arelder concernedly asks, "Is everyone alright?"

Thrassus says, "Quite fine."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "That thing!"

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "Oh..what is the that orb for."

'''The probe vanishes into the ripple of air. The tendril of dark energy flickers around, as if being drawn like a line of rope, then begins thrashing and grows taut.'''

Earthdiver says, "Ah, the probe."

Leafiara steeples her fingers together, quietly observing her surroundings.

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "Is the energy connection stable enough?"

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Thrassus says, "Something must have thought it was bait."

'''Vortelis says, "The issue is that the passage is too violently unstable. But yes, we can gleam some information, in this way."'''

Earthdiver says, "Somewhat like a Familiar, I suppose."

'''Vortelis says, "This will not do. We should get closer to the epicenter of the destruction."'''

Monthas says, "That sounds like a bad idea."

Pukk says, "That is why we are going to do it."

'''Vortelis says, "The shadows will be more intense there, we may be able to use the soulstone on it."'''

Thrassus says, "I have always wondered what it looks like there, anyways."

Earthdiver says, "It will be exciting."

Vivaldi says, "Dead farmers ain't too excitin'."

'''Viselda says, "These particular beasts have been limited. But this is dangerous. There should be more Palestra here right now."'''

Lylia says, "Keenly exciting. I have not seen some of these sights."

Monthas asks, "What is a palestra?"

Amathea quietly says, "More of that insight."

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "A demon slayer."

Speaking to Viselda, Thrassus asks, "As in how many more?"

'''Speaking smugly to Viselda, Moravius asks, "Where are your wandering Palestra of the outlands?"'''

Speaking to Viselda, Earthdiver says, "Do you have any advice."

'''Viselda scowls at Moravius.'''

Speaking to Viselda, Perigourd says, "Some of us here have fair experience at slaying demons as well."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Pukk says, "Don't die."

Speaking to Monthas, Lylia explains, "They are Faendryl expressly trained in the dispatching of demons, among other skills."

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: east, southwest

Monthas says, "Thank you."

Winrie proudly says, "Leave the dying to me."

Monthas says, "Did not know that."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "No!"

(Arelder rests the flat of his blade on his shoulder, tapping it idly.)

'''In the distance you hear a faintly unreal old bell ringing out. Soon this is met with a massing number of decomposing red-eyed bleak knights, shambling toward you with malicious and bloody intent.'''

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Hey!"

Thrassus says, "Ah, here they are."

A cold, dank wind blows in, followed by a decomposing red-eyed bleak knight!

A decomposing red-eyed bleak knight clatters to its feet.

[Fightinnnngggg!]

Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "That is only going to get worse as the storm intensifies."

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The great northern mountains rise up like a wall of jagged, icy fingers in the distance. Their peaks are obscured by heavy black clouds, and the once fresh mountain air has been replaced by the stagnant, putrid odor of burnt flesh and scorched earth. You also see a towering oily black tree.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Earthdiver blinks in surprise, as though just becoming aware of a towering oily black tree's presence.

Thrassus says, "Oh.."

Monthas says, "Black apples."

Winrie exclaims, "Apples!"

Earthdiver says, "Where..where is that black apple fellow."

Perigourd says, "We saw this the last time we came through."

Speaking quietly to himself, Arelder remarks, "Like the old tales..."

[Frequent skirmishes throughout our time here]

Speaking to a towering oily black tree, Thrassus asks, "Well aren't you magnificent?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Look at how big it is!"

Speaking encouragingly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "You made it so far. No giving up now!"

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "It looks taller when you are lying down, I have no doubt."

Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius says, "Yes, I know. The situation is improving by the minute."

Thrassus asks, "I do wonder if the fruit are the same as the ones in the orchard?"

Leafiara says, "Ah, good, now we more demonstrably prove that these black apples are different than the other black apples."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we have someone to raise her?"

Leafiara says, "Oh, I thought she wanted to be fed to the tree."

Speaking firmly to a towering oily black tree, Arelder says, "Cold steel and prayer..."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "Still not buried!"

Leafiara reassuringly exclaims, "Maybe next time with some other tree!"

'''Moravius says, "Unfortunately we have other experiments remaining."'''

Perigourd says, "Plenty of nicer trees to be absorbed by."

Perigourd nods slowly.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Thus we should continue, yes? What is next?"

'''Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius asks, "There is one near here, can you feel it?"'''

'''Vortelis nods at Moravius.'''

'''Vortelis says, "Near the ruins to the north."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went north.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

Rows and rows of crumbled, charred stones are strewn about the broken landscape where the towering walls of Talador once stood. Even the wind is hot, swirling around and scattering ash and smoldering debris all about. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: south

Vivaldi says, "Still smells bad here."

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The air hums with an unseen energy, and tendrils of deep shadow trail across the ground like snakes hungrily searching for prey. In the distance, a scarlet light pulses, distorting the bruised sky and smearing the colors like so much paint under an artist's brush.''

Thrassus says, "Oh, we are at the center for certain."

Lylia quietly says, "It smells cleaner than Chaston Griffin's camps."

Lylia purses her lips in a thin line of disapproval.

Earthdiver says, "At least it is warm here."

'''Moravius tweaks the index of the astrolabe along the ecliptic hyperbolic engraved on its rete, looking between his map and the rift as well as the mater.'''

Pukk says, "It's so quiet."

Pukk says, "And peaceful."

Vivaldi says, "So's a grave."

The voice of Pukk says, "I better hide."

Winrie says, "Warm, like a fermenting pile."

Thrassus says, "That light..."

'''Speaking to himself, Moravius says, "This is the best we are going to be able to do, unless the veil is totally broken through somewhere in that wreckage."'''

Thrassus says, "That's the center."

'''Vortelis says, "I will check to see if this rift can be used to charge the soulstone."'''

Monthas asks, "What does the soulstone look like?"

'''Vortelis says, "If I can get a reasonable amount of shadows into it, we can try to open a test portal to the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Vortelis removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in his vortex of shadows.'''

'''Vortelis says, "It looks approximately like this."'''

Monthas produces a gleaming multicolored soulstone from the depths of his spidersilk duster.

Monthas says, "Different than mine."

'''Vortelis holds up two fingers and slowly pinches them together until they are almost touching.'''

Lylia says, "It is pale now, but it was once a vibrant red."

Lylia explains, "It belonged to Aralyte, a Palestra Blade who was instrumental in destroying Althedeus, a sentient creature of shadows that sought godhood."

'''Vortelis brings the pale soulstone up to the ripple in the air and utters some arcane incantations in Faendryl.'''

Earthdiver says, "Godhood sounds like so much...responsibility."

'''The soulstone begins to glow red. Vortelis winces as it heats up and pulses.'''

Lylia quietly says, "She remained within the shadows."

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Arelder explains, "I know we have bigger problems than my memories... but it is a strange feeling seeing it. I grew up a bit west of here... we only rarely visited the capital. These stones seem like they should speak to me. But yet... they don't."

Perigourd nods grimly at Arelder.

'''Writhing shadows bleed through the ripple in the air, forming wispy tendrils that peel off the rift, which get drawn toward the soulstone and siphon into it.'''

Speaking gently to Arelder, Missoni says, "It cannot be an easy thing to see."

Thrassus says, "That pulsing light in the distance just might be where the bells are coming from."

(Winrie spreads her arms wide.)

Speaking quietly to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... are there no further readings to take with the astrolabe or quasi-sphere?"

'''Vortelis swaps the bright red soulstone to his left hand. His right hand is visibly burned on the palm with the imprint of the soulstone on it.'''

Thrassus says, "He is likely there."

Everall glances over at Vortelis and winces.

Earthdiver says, "That heated up surprisingly fast."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk says, "You should see a healer about that."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "He is going to try to fully open the rift into a portal."'''

Winrie flatly says, "Or, maybe not see one."

'''Moravius says, "Which would allow us to walk in ourselves."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia murmurs, "I have held fires that burned me to the bone. It is nothing we cannot bear."

Monthas asks, "First trip to the bleaklands, and then we go to shadow?"

'''The air abruptly grows cold, the shadows suddenly seem alive.'''

Earthdiver says, "That feels better."

A fluid shadowy bleakwalker drifts in smoothly, trailed by a shadowy haze.

The dark power of the shadowy bleakwalker draws at Grhim.

[Fights...so many fights.]

Vivaldi glances at a delicate azure bonnet.

Vivaldi says, "Killed some poor granny."

'''Vortelis says, "We will do a penetration test on the rift with the soulstone, as Moravius was saying, seeing if it might be able to form a stable portal to the Shadows valence."'''

Thrassus says, "That was a bleakworm."

Thrassus says, "Not a granny."

Lylia says, "A city died here. More than one 'granny' died, I am certain."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "It may have eaten one, however."

Thrassus says, "Fair point."

'''Vortelis says, "It is not charged fully. But siphoning directly off this rift was fairly fast."'''

Missoni says, "That is promising."

'''Vortelis says, "Hopefully my hand does not transform into a tentacle."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Perigourd says, "Perhaps it can siphon the entirey and close this.. tear."

Speaking quietly to Vortelis, Amathea says, "It might be an improvement."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "That could be exciting."

Monthas says, "That would be a deal breaker."

Lylia says, "On the other hand -- or tentacle -- it could be useful."

Vivaldi says, "Easier to scratch wit tho."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk exclaims, "But if it does think of how quickly you can eat food then!"

Missoni says, "That would be fascinating."

'''Vortelis confusedly says, "What? More shadows would only deepen the tear."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Thrassus asks, "Is something wrong?"

'''Vortelis chants in a dark tongue and faces the ripple, swapping the soulstone back to his burned hand and reaching out with it.'''

'''A flash of bright red light ripples outward into the Bleaklands.'''

Monthas says, "Thats the "hello we are here" beacon."

Thrassus says, "That's going to get more attention."

Earthdiver says, "A price for everything."

'''The tear in the fabric of reality looks unstable for a moment, and a bolt of energy soars off it, lashing past Vortelis and arcing up into the night!'''

'''More skin peels back from Vortelis's fingers, leaving ribbons of incarnadine blood and bone in its wake.'''

Pukk says, "I guess shooting a demon with a bow is still not going to work."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia hisses, "Steady on."

'''The light within Vortelis's talisman begins to churn and slowly dissipate until it grows paler, murky, then dull white.'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim says, "The lantern enjoys the taste of other shadows."

Speaking to Vortelis, Vivaldi says, "Don't look too good feller."

Earthdiver says, "How does that keep happening."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "I think they have it out for you."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "You know...I'm starting to think you like being dead."

'''The ripple in the air becomes darker, and the world beyond it begins to melt away, slowly turning bright red as if blood were seeping out across it.'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "It's a small price for knowledge."

Thrassus says, "It's stabilizing."

Vortelis carefully surveys his surroundings.

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Sure! I like risks."

Leafiara agrees, "Well, alright then!"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "It is beautiful."

Leafiara says, "I like the spirit."

Speaking to Leafiara, Winrie says, "Go easy."

'''The bloody hue dims away. Through the rift are shifting vistas of black skeletal trees, piles of bones, cliffs of crimson haze, iron chains through the skies, and a floating island of flesh stabbed through with obsidian. It keeps unstably expanding and contracting.'''

Vortelis gazes with interest at a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver asks, "What does that mean?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "I'm quite sure the bleaklands don't quite look like that."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's quite the sight."

Missoni murmurs, "Remarkable."

'''Vortelis exclaims, "Gah!"'''

'''The soulstone suddenly glows intensely bright and fires a beam of red into western sky!'''

'''Vortelis falls over.'''

'''The storm above Melgorehn's Reach is struck with a beam of red light. Its clouds turn bloody red, and for a moment time slows to a crawl, then suddenly snap back with a tidal wave of bright red light!'''

Missoni says, "Mind the storm."

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... curious that the energies can be so attracted to the storm at the Reach, even at this distance. One wonders how far that connection could extend..."

'''Vortelis dusts himself off.'''

'''Vortelis glances at a light red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his hand.'''

'''Moravius asks, "The veil is thinning all around us. Vortelis?"'''

Oxhammer says, "Sounds like landin starting to pop."

'''Space itself seems to thin out and stretch, and what little color there is wanes in the bleak lands. The landscape itself seems like a mirage of black trees and soil of flesh threatening to become real.'''

Vivaldi says, "Soil of flesh."

Vivaldi says, "Nawps."

Vivaldi says, "No."

Thrassus says, "It might have stabilized things too much."

(Lylia flicks her gaze uneasily to the south.)

Perigourd says, "One might concur."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we?"

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Not yet!"

'''Vortelis says, "Hold."'''

'''The whites of Vortelis's eyes go dark as he chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

'''Shadows peel off the rift and begin forming into masses of eyes and shadowy tentacles...'''

Monthas says, "Umm."

Thrassus says, "More of them."

(Winrie covers her face with her right arm.)

A massive tenebrous oculoth's central eye suddenly bleeds with a variety of hues, the colors roiling in a shadowy vortex until it finally blossoms with a solid incarnadine hue.

[Big fights!]

Vivaldi says, "Nawp nawp nawp nawp."

Amathea quietly says, "What is THAT."

Earthdiver says, "Ahhh. Finally."

Thrassus says, "Oculoth."

Earthdiver says, "My favorite animal."

Leafiara pleasedly says, "It's been too long."

Speaking to Amathea, Vivaldi says, "Nasty buggers."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "It's a giant eye with teeth."

Lylia says, "Do not implode them."

Pukk asks, "Implode them?"

Earthdiver says, "They...eat...the voids."

Lylia says, "I learned that lesson the hard way."

Earthdiver says, "And will vomit them on you."

Monthas says, "Eww."

Lylia says, "Messily."

Earthdiver says, "What do we have...that attracted the oculoths."

Earthdiver says, "They are normally such uh..peaceful creatures."

Speaking to Amathea, Leafiara exclaims, "We'll make sure it's clear first!"

'''Vortelis keeps incanting with his urglaes sphere hovering between him and the rift. The soulstone streams a thread of darkness and incarnadine light through the sphere into the rift.'''

Leafiara muses, "Relatively speaking..."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "We will defend you."

Speaking concernedly to Amathea, Winrie says, "If you keep dying, you might not come back."

'''The rift becomes black as midnight, and pierced with two feystone lights.'''

Monthas asks, "Glowing eyes?"

Monthas says, "Or something else."

Leafiara says, "Ah, that's what she looked like last time, I believe."

'''The darkness of the rift resolves around the feystone lights, which burn in the shadowy orbs in the face of a dark elven woman, with a bald head and blood red sigils over her eyes. She is surrounded in blood, and her body is wreathed in shadow. She reaches a shadowy arm out toward you as from the other side of a dark mirror.'''

Perigourd says, "That doesn't seem right."

Thrassus says, "It's Aralyte."

Pukk says, "Yeah..doesn't look crazy at all."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Oh, I am not far..."

Winrie exasperatedly exclaims, "It better be!"

Speaking to himself, Arelder remarks, "No... it can't be..."

Thrassus says, "She's closing the rift, it seems."

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim asks, "Have you been inside of there?"

Leafiara says, "Was more or less what she looked like last time..."

Lylia says, "Many of us have been in the realm of shadows."

'''The soulstone burns hot and bright.'''

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Well, you are married to Xorus so..."

Earthdiver says, "Seems like we are still good."

'''Vortelis says, "I have to get this away from here, you should get back to the portal."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Missoni says, "Surely you will not remain."

Lylia says, "Get it away from here how? I left her; I do not intend to leave you."

Monthas asks, "Are we raising or dragging?"

Earthdiver says, "At this rate, we could persist indefinitely."

'''Vortelis says, "Through a rift, away from these sinkholes, and the mana storm."'''

'''Vortelis says, "For now."'''

Earthdiver says, "Most of us."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie asks, "Do you still have deeds?"

Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Arelder replies, "But not with body and soul together."

'''Vortelis tears open space and disappears through it.'''

Leafiara slowly says, "Ah, correction, no, I'm not raising... she died again too quickly."

Thrassus says, "That means we move."

Monthas says, "So drag it is."

'''There is a loud, demonic shrieking through the ripple, which once again becomes unstable and contracts.'''

Earthdiver says, "I wonder what that one could be."

Monthas says, "Ohh yeah we dragging."

Lylia says, "We do not need to drag her."

Earthdiver says, "It has been SOO long since I have talked with a demon of some ability."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "That's probably not good."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia asks, "Do you object to animation?"

Vivaldi says, "A critter."

Pukk exclaims, "Ooh animate her!"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Nope!"

Pukk exclaims, "That's always fun!"

Monthas says, "That works."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Can't die if i'm dead."

Monthas says, "You sorceress are so efficient."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk exclaims, "And if Lylia wants she can make you explode too!"

Moravius reluctantly says, "This rift is not viable for us. We should leave this place."

Speaking to Lylia, Grhim says, "You never miss the opportunity to reanimate a corpse."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie says, "You are now an apple."

Monthas asks, "Wait, did he go into that rift?"

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "He fled."

Speaking to Monthas, Earthdiver says, "A personal rift."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "A fancy apple."

Lylia says, "His own rift."

Thrassus says, "He went into a different one he created."

Lylia says, "He did not flee so much as he took a dangerous object out of immediate proximity to the rift."

Speaking offhandedly to Amathea, Lylia says, "There may be some side effects. They are usually mild once you are raised."

Thrassus asks, "Where's Moravius?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Where indeed."

'''The voice of Moravius says, "Rejoin on me."'''

Earthdiver says, "You are...not apparent."

Lylia says, "You have gotten lost in the darkness."

Leafiara says, "There he is."

Earthdiver says, "Can we stay a while yet."

Thrassus says, "I was worried for a moment."

Pukk says, "Landing is being invaded."

[Fighting breaks out as we make our way toward the portal.]

'''Moravius says, "We are almost there."'''

Earthdiver says, "I would like to have an oculoth one day."

Speaking to Pukk, Perigourd says, "Not surprising considering the Reach pulled some of the portal it looked like."

'''The sky darkens as a huge, mammoth oily black mass peels away from dark patches in the sky. Its gargantuan maggot-like body is a shadowy abomination of arms and thousands of teeth. It slowly descends toward you in the direction of the portal.'''

'''Moravius gazes up into the heavens.'''

'''Moravius says, "Fascinating."'''

Thrassus says, "Another one..."

Leafiara says, "Ahh, the maggot abomination..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Curious."

Missoni says, "One of those...things."

Earthdiver says, "That could be a large one."

Thrassus says, "They can be killed."

Perigourd says, "Most things can."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk says, "He says many of the things you always say. I think you might be related."

'''The massive shadowy blob of abomination moves closer with its tendrils and jagged teeth.'''

Speaking to Pukk, Raelee says, "We are not."

Perigourd says, "Though with the town imperiled, we may wish to assist there."

'''Moravius says, "Ah, yes. I should get that portal closed."'''

Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a yellow verlok feather, a glowing dark red portal, a lazy wild deep red dog, a wide-beaked copper verlok'asha that is flying around, a phantasmal indigo-eyed eel that is flying around, a mutilated shadowy Ithzir gibbet, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees, a cedar chip path and a shielded worker encampment.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Earthdiver, Vivaldi, Perigourd, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Winrie, Moravius

(Winrie adjusts her jaw.)

Perigourd says, "I'm going to aid in town."

Leafiara says, "Likewise."

Monthas says, "Thank the gods, we are back."

Thrassus says, "While the pylons can kill the things, it's still a hard fight."

Monthas says, "Not that I didn't enjoy my first trip to the Bleaklands."

A faint song draws attention to an odd silhouette that fades into a shadowy Ithzir omenbearer!

A shadowy Ithzir omenbearer raises her arms as she sings!

[Everyone's least favorite fight!]

'''Moravius walks over to the encampment and picks up a spear of kroderine, then walks back and hurls it into the shadowy portal!'''

'''The shadowy portal abruptly and violently collapses!'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly asks, "Oh great...these things followed us through?"

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "That is a handy spear."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "They lead us here!"

Thrassus says, "No, they are manifesting here."

Lylia says, "Not any more, I believe."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Ooohh.....it's all a bit of a blur."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "That stupid stone!"

Earthdiver says, "It looks like the town needs a hand."

'''The dark red in the storm clouds of Melgorehn's Reach slowly bleeds away, becoming replaced again with azure and celadon flashes of light.'''

'''Moravius says, "That is marginally better."'''

'''Moravius put a phasing black alloy astrolabe in his black leather case.'''

Thrassus says, "Somewhat, yes."

'''Moravius put a convoluted valencial cartograph in his black leather case.'''

Shadows in the surface of the lake pulse with dark crimson light, for a moment vaguely resembling an otherworldly landscape in its depths.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "From your readings, what is the primary source of instability in those ruptures?"

'''Moravius says, "If you had all died like this sooner, it would have made triangulating faster."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... for if we could find a way to stabilize them, it seems it would be better both for research and charging the soulstone..."

Speaking to Moravius, Vivaldi says, "Ah already died twice.."

Speaking to Amathea, the ghostly voice of Winrie says, "We did our paty."

'''Moravius says, "It is the chaos of the Bleaklands, and the haphazard way they are formed."'''

Speaking quietly to Winrie, the ghostly voice of Amathea exclaims, "We sure did!"

'''Moravius says, "Eventually they may collapse more fully into portals."'''

Thrassus says, "They might be easier to close at that point."

'''Moravius says, "But it seems quite likely we could get ourselves stranded in the Shadow Realm if we forced one open and it did not hold."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... then we ought to ensure it holds, yes?"

[missing part of log]

'''Viselda incredulously asks, "What Prelate?"'''

Thrassus says, "Chaston Griffon of course."

Thrassus asks, "You saw that red pulsing light in the distance through the rift, yes?"

Thrassus says, "That might be him."

'''Moravius asks, "In the Shadow Realm?"'''

Thrassus says, "Indeed."

Lylia firmly says, "Prelate Chaston Griffin is a smear of oily soot on a pair of my once-favorite boots and the reason I cannot wear them anymore."

'''Moravius says, "Vortelis is more versed in the history of the Bleaklands than myself."'''

Lylia says, "If any shred of him remains, I shall be happy to sacrifice another pair of boots."

Speaking to herself, Lylia murmurs, "Although perhaps not this pair."

Thrassus says, "Suffice it to say a witch's device detonated in the capital and created the Bleaklands."

Thrassus says, "Taking the Prelate and most of his Blameless along with it."

Perigourd says, "It may just be my persepctive, but it looked like Aralyte dirtected them to attack us."

Thrassus says, "I suspect it might not have destroyed them, however."

'''Speaking to Perigourd, Viselda says, "That was how I perceived it."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Lylia reluctantly says, "I have said before that she must be found. That is one of the reasons why."

Thrassus says, "Those tendrils she directed were reaching for the rift, it appeared to me."

Missoni carefully says, "She was reaching for us. Perhaps she was unaware of the effect she was having."

'''Moravius says, "We did not see her very long."'''

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Lylia says, "I thought that too. It was...ambiguous, in all the chaos."

Earthdiver says, "If only we had some way to track her presence in the Bleaklands."

Perigourd says, "She seemed imbued with shadow, herself."

'''Moravius says, "But there were these Ithzir, as well as shadow entities, spilling out into the Bleaklands from it."'''

Leafiara says, "We're dealing with shadows that appear like Ithzir and might not be them, so it's not implausible to face shadows that also appear like Aralyte and might not be her."

Leafiara says, "Just theorizing."

Perigourd asks, "Is there a point at which the shadows so saturate a person that they cannot be separated from them?"

Leafiara adds, "Although the soulstone does cast doubt on that particular one..."

'''Moravius says, "Siphoning energy out is one thing, but the mutations caused are something else."'''

Lylia says, "I do not recall her name. She spent a great deal of time with Cruxophim. She was so thoroughly taken by shadows that she may as well have been one."

'''Viselda says, "That would be settled with observation and treatment in a thaumaturgical asylum."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "And how many of those mutations are supported by the shadows? Are they survivable without the shadows?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "That is a difficulty. Aberrations often become physically dependent."'''

'''Moravius says, "Or they might be able to sustain themselves in some parasitic fashion."'''

Lylia stiffly says, "If she is contaminated in this way, then we must still find her."

Thrassus says, "Another concern is that titanic leech."

'''Viselda says, "I consider this a Palestra matter at this point. But that will be up to the Basilican Magistrate and Dracovir."'''

Thrassus says, "It very well may eventually make its way here."

Thrassus says, "That's what the last one did."

Speaking to Lylia, Earthdiver says, "I have been working on a device to track shadow energy. Perhaps it could be of some use."

Thrassus says, "It scented its prey in the Bleaklands and slowly floated its way here."

Lylia quietly says, "Perhaps. I hope that it might."

'''Moravius says, "The tracing methods will prove useful, even if now it is a virtual certainty that it is all stemming from this valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "You know, it is like saying, Korvath is somewhere on Elanthia."'''

'''Moravius says, "But I think Vortelis will want to enter the Shadows valence from here at Lake Eonak."'''

Thrassus says, "That's likely the safest option."

Perigourd says, "Considering that the breach expanded to the Reach here, it would seem from a safety standpoint to presume the same risks."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia asks, "Do you have an idea of the time we may expect this to occur?"

Lylia says, "I understand there is some randomness. Periodicity is not predictable with these storms."

'''Moravius says, "The storm cycle is dying down, probably for a month."'''

'''Moravius says, "We would be using the mana storm to help keep the portal propped open when we need it."'''

Lylia adds, "And Harrower Vortelis? He is safe?"

'''Moravius tilts his head and his eyes glaze over.'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes. Vortelis is elsewhere, waiting out the storm."'''

Lylia says, "Good."

'''Moravius says, "He may be in some trouble for hitting it with that beam."'''

'''Moravius says, "With the Archchancellor, I mean."'''

Lylia says, "Trouble follows in the hinterlands; it is just what happens."

'''Moravius says, "But it was chaos. These things happen."'''

Lylia says, "Just so."

'''Moravius says, "He was only half-joking about his hand. That was an intense exposure to shadows."'''

Thrassus says, "It did seem a bit stronger than anitcipated."

Speaking to Moravius, Everall asks, "Will he recover from that?"

'''Moravius says, "We will probably recharge it in a slower way."'''

Earthdiver says, "It happens."

Lylia says, "I did not mean to offend with my jest about the utility of having a tentacle. Nor should he take any comments about Ivas amiss."

'''Speaking to Everall, Moravius says, "If it is just a flesh wound."'''

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "I've seen some mages recreate hands out of pure fire essence."

Lylia says, "I have had...similar incidents with burns to the hands."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... I recall."

'''Moravius says, "Fortunately the storming was relatively mild. I would hate.. well, no... Viselda would hate it, if it were a much stronger volatility."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Everall says, "I suppose I was unaware whether these circumstances would be treated differently."

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "They may very well be."

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd says, "I suspect I share her view."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "You will be the death of us."'''

Arelder wearily says, "Forgive me for parting. This evening has been... overwhelming."

Arelder wearily continues, "...and I wish to be alone."

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "I'll have to work on a report for Sir Guarrin."

Missoni says, "We shall turn in, in that case."

'''Moravius says, "It is virtually certain we will have to go to the Shadow Realm now."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... that will be interesting."

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "I am happy to accompany."

'''Viselda says, "Dracovir will not allow a Palestra to be in that condition, left to her own devices in a demonic valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes, well. There is that, as well."'''

Lylia says, "We have been before. We shall go again. I have been eager -- well, no. I have been certain that returning is necessary. I would not say I am eager for it, however."

Thrassus says, "I don't think anyone was planning on leaving her in that state."

'''Viselda flatly says, "Yes. That."'''

Lylia firmly says, "I never have. I have sought to return for a decade."

Lylia says, "I know you have as well, and many others."

'''Moravius says, "It is a difficult and perilous place to harrow, we would not ordinarily try to go to that valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "The rift we will have to make to it will be relatively dangerous."'''

Lylia says, "We do what we must."

'''Viselda says, "The threat obviously outweights the hazard now."'''

Lylia says, "It was not easy when she used the Staff of Ith'can."

'''Moravius says, "That Ur-Daemon relic is presumably still in the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Moravius says, "We will only have the soulstone, and this old wound in the veil."'''

Lylia smiles slightly and says, "We have never shrunk from doing more with less, though, have we?"

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "Come along, Moravius. We have higher authorities to answer to over what happened."'''

'''Speaking to Viselda, Moravius says, "Laws? How quaint."'''

'''Viselda rolls her eyes.'''

'''Speaking mockingly to Moravius, Viselda says, "Your Highness."'''

'''Moravius says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."'''

'''Viselda says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch. But not him."'''

'''Viselda squints at Moravius.'''

'''Moravius says, "Famous ancestors."'''

'''Moravius shrugs.'''

'''Moravius tears open a rift that he and Viselda walk through.'''

Lost Palestra (storyline)/2026-02-04 - Astrolabe-or of Love (log)

2026-02-05T14:28:37Z

UBERWENCH: Added a log of the Bleaklands expedition on 2/4/2026

'''You see Blade Viselda the Palestra of Shamsiel Academy.'''

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

She is average height. She appears to be mature. She has long-lashed sea green eyes and dark skin. She has long, platinum hair. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and thin pointed ears.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a barbed high steel claidhmore in her right hand.

She is wearing a long grey cloak, a well-fitting weapon harness, a black leather bodysuit, a lor triskele inset with three wine-veined scarlet despanals, some grey rugged pants, and some black leather boots.

'''You see Harrower Moravius the Veilmaster of the Extrachthonic Cartographer's Guild.'''

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.

He is taller than average. He appears ageless. He has dark-rimmed jade green eyes and deep umber skin. He has shoulder length, unruly silver hair only partially tamed into a single braid. He has a fine-boned face, an aquiline nose and tall upswept pointed ears.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing an intricate twisted faenor headband, a banded chalcedony cameo, a whorled black leather case, some silver-shot ebon bourde robes with a grey silk tunic notched at the high collar underneath, a bezel-set ruby and silver signet ring, some jet leather leggings, and a pair of polished black leather boots.

'''Moravius says, "Ah, good. Bodies."'''

Amathea quietly says, "Oh dear."

Vivaldi says, "Sounds like ah'm gonna die."

Lylia says, "Encouraging."

The voice of Leafiara says, "I certainly wouldn't count on it being a safe trip, at least."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Thrassus says, "Very possible."

Vivaldi says, "Guess won't be the first.."

'''Vortelis says, "I will be coming along to test the soulstone, as well, though I would like to spend as little time with it near this mountain as possible."'''

(Arelder adjusts his scabbard, leaving his sword sheathed for the moment.)

'''Azure and celadon lights flash in the churning clouds high above, with the occasional mote of golden essence flickering by like a flake of snow.'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes. We should go now. Before the storm intensifies."'''

'''Moravius uses his translucent chalk to outline a large circle upon the ground.'''

'''Moravius put some waxy translucent chalk in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius throws his arms around the air above the summoning circle, forming a swirling cloud of energy, with burning runes emerging from the fabric of reality within the vortex.'''

'''The vortex of energy swirls into a maelstrom, morphing together into solidity, finally stabilizing as a glowing dark red portal.'''

'''Moravius says, "There we are."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a glowing dark red portal.

Thrassus says, "The effects are quite a bit more heavy here."

'''Vortelis says, "This whole land is sick with shadows. It is corruptive even to be here, fortunately we do not have to stay long."'''

Lylia says, "Evocative phrase. 'Sick with shadows.'."

Thrassus says, "Even the sky is corrupted."

[We noticed we were having some trouble with spells...]

Lylia's magic fizzles ineffectually.

Vivaldi says, "Smells bad."

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Perigourd says, "Interesting."

'''Viselda says, "This is more dangerous than that other region."'''

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

The voice of Pukk says, "Ewww anti magics....this is going to be interesting."

The voice of Leafiara calmly agrees, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "And mana-bereft."

Perigourd says, "It would seem the chaos of the shadow breach nullifies the mana flows."

Vivaldi says, "Hells."

Missoni declares, "Perfectly wretched."

Speaking to himself, Earthdiver says, "It's not so bad..."

Winrie says, "I would rather be dragged from here, than smell this air any longer."

Thrassus says, "The mana has been drained away to the shadow plane."

Speaking morosely to Earthdiver, Lylia says, "It is not so bad. It is worse."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "Just kick them."

From behind Earthdiver, Leafiara's voice says, "Just wait until the shadows show up and almost nothing physical damages them either."

'''Moravius says, "The suffocating blanket should raise with the storm."'''

'''The air ripples and warms.'''

[Magic is restored!]

Speaking to Lylia, Missoni says, "Oh, we can do that."

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "Perhaps we ought to have been here earlier. There may have been ample opportunity to trace that mana."

Missoni nods approvingly.

Thrassus says, "That is a good point."

'''Moravius says, "There are certainly anti-magical qualities to the shadows."'''

Missoni murmurs, "That is better."

Lylia says, "As if I needed another reason to dislike them."

'''Moravius says, "I can sense the sinkholes in the Veil. They are that way, closer to the ruins of the city."'''

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver says, "Let us not tarry..."

Missoni murmurs, "It is so thin one can see right to the Shadow Realm."

Arelder raises his oak torch overhead, allowing the flame to illuminate the surroundings better.

'''Moravius says, "Pure darkness is what you would call anti-mana, it is an aspect of the shadows as an energy."'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''Traveling to the peak of this bit of land, the climb is made more steep simply by the volume of bones scattered across the ground. Layer upon layer, the remains are heaped until it is near impossible to even see what lies beneath''

''them. Tendrils of shadow writhe and curl in the air where the rise drops off in a sheer cliff, leaving nothing but crimson clouds of mist to haunt the darkness beyond the field of bones.''

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd asks, "Such as in the rift with the Vvrael?"

Winrie painfully says, "That name again."

'''Moravius says, "That is a collective sentience of anti-mana."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... can we send something through there?"

Monthas says, "The Vvrael have no problem hurling that anti-mana back at me."

Oxhammer says, "Just stay hidden Pukk...everything will work out fine."

'''Moravius looks over and inspects the ripple in the air.'''

'''Moravius removes a phasing black alloy astrolabe from in his black leather case.'''

'''Moravius removes a convoluted valencial cartograph from in his black leather case.'''

Perigourd removes a burnished silver spyglass from in his green leather cloak.

Perigourd peers east through his silver spyglass and slowly turns the eyepiece to focus it.

Perigourd polishes his silver spyglass with the edge of his sleeve.

The voice of Pukk asks, "Perigourd, did you look into the right end?"

Perigourd says, "I did, yes."

Perigourd says, "Bit dark here though, unsurprisingly."

'''Moravius hovers the astrolabe near the ripple, gesturing as it phases in and out.'''

Amathea quietly says, "You have to attune the thingy! silly..."

Vortelis says, "Teasing the tail of the dragon."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

[Fighting!]

'''Moravius says, "Impolite."'''

(Raelee moves closer to Moravius, attempting to see the astrolabe and cartograph more closely, seemingly unbothered by the hostiles.)

'''Moravius says, "This narrow passage is too tight. It impractical for forming a stable gateway."'''

Missoni asks, "Perhaps further in, then?"

For a moment, the ground trembles and cracks, and oddly, seems to expand as if stretching outward.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... what else do your readings say?"

Dirt and rock explode from the ground beneath Amathea as a glistening ashen bleakworm erupts from underground and crashes onto the surface!

[More fighting!]

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Yes then, your readings?"

'''Moravius looks unfazed and continues speaking.'''

Pukk says, "I felt the ground rumble and was just about to tell Leafi that she needs to cut down on the chocolate."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "If we were to try to breach here, we might fall into the interplanar void, or end up in some other valence entirely."'''

Speaking defiantly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Never."

'''Moravius says, "But then it might simply rip us into pieces through the tidal forces."'''

Winrie says, "Amathea..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I'm here somewhere."

'''Moravius points at Amathea, ruining her hiding place.'''

Raelee asks, "Have you any mechanism amongst your tools for sending something inside without following it yourself?"

'''Moravius says, "Hide and seek will not work when you are dead."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk asks, "Oh hi there. Did you know that you are dead?"

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "Have you thought about not dying? It's what everybody is doing now-a-days."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "I did, in fact."

Earthdiver says, "Is there someone to raise her."

Winrie says, "She is ready."

Arelder gestures at Amathea.

With each passing moment during Arelder's slow chant, his eyes flutter rhythmically. He folds his right arm and rests his chin upon his hand, then gazes down at the lifeless corpse of Amathea, as if contemplating her existence.

Blinking once, Arelder thrusts his hand over Amathea, and crackling raw power flows from Arelder's fingertips into Amathea.

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "How do you remain in contact with it once it passes through?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Vortelis says, "There is a tether of energy that binds the probe to the sphere, so long as it does not get severed by the forces of the rift."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee says, "... curious."

'''Viselda impatiently says, "We should keep moving, Moravius..."'''

'''Moravius says, "Oh, yes."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak,

resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

[Oh so much fighting! We lost a few.]

Speaking to Vivaldi, Pukk says, "So, you have died my friend..."

Earthdiver says, "Is there...someone to raise the farmer fellow."

'''Moravius says, "That will not do at all. You could get possessed laying around that way."'''

Leafiara tentatively asks, "Does anyone have a chrism on hand?"

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Ah mean.. fertilizer is fertilzer."

Arelder glumly admits, "I cannot, unfortunately..."

Speaking to Vivaldi, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Thrassus says, "Nothing natural will grow here, though."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "For now."

Thrassus says, "Optimistic."

Thrassus snickers.

'''An old church bell rings hauntingly all around you, its distorted sound resonating throughout the broken lands.'''

The ghostly voice of Vivaldi says, "Yall run along and ah'll mebbe get the ground a li'l growin' like."

Earthdiver says, "No insects. It is indeed desolate compared to the other parts of the Bleaklands."

Arelder incredulously asks, "Did anyone hear that?"

A melodic chant escapes Leafiara's lips, singing the praises of the joys of living. Leafiara's eyes light up, and a sparkling yellow aura soon surrounds her as she revels in her ceremony. Caught up in the moment, she dances lively

around the body of Vivaldi, the exultant energy flowing from her to Vivaldi with every step. Leafiara takes a small bow at the end of the ritual that has left both her and Vivaldi slightly out of breath.

Speaking offhandedly to Arelder, Leafiara says, "It's, ah... not an uncommon sound around here..."

Leafiara says, "But, truly, what you'd better hope is that it doesn't signal the arrival of echoes of the Blameless."

Speaking to Leafiara, Lylia says, "Do not even speak them into existence."

'''Moravius says, "Blameless? Yes, I suppose we are, blameless in it."'''

Thrassus says, "If it was a few weeks older it would likely have turned into a maw on the end of a vine or something."

Monthas says, "Ohh thats right."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie asks, "What happens when those fruits come home?"

Monthas says, "Dirt from the bleaklands."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia says, "Well, naturally, but this is rather a different sort of...hmm. We can talk about it later."

Speaking to himself, Everall says, "This place..."

Earthdiver says, "Growing anything in this is almost certainly a terrible idea."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "They mean zealots."'''

Earthdiver says, "Unless you grow it here, of course."

Lylia says, "Koarites."

Earthdiver says, "Then it's probably ok."

'''Moravius asks, "Koarites?"'''

'''Moravius frowns.'''

Speaking to Vivaldi, Winrie exclaims, "Not on our watch, turnip!"

Amathea quietly asks, "Devotees?"

'''Moravius says, "Those zealots do not even appreciate demons."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Thrassus says, "A brief description of them would be a political faction that still thinks invading us was a good idea."

Lylia says, "Everblood, zealotry, madness, destruction."

Leafiara says, "They've been here before--in the Bleaklands, that is--but they aren't always."

Winrie exclaims, "Good!"

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Harrower Vortelis, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Harrower Moravius

Winrie exclaims, "Why would anyone?!"

Leafiara says, "But I think I recall seeing them last time we encountered those worms, so..."

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

The spectre moans evilly!

[Still more fighting!]

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

'''Moravius exclaims, "There we are!"'''

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The face of the tumultuous mountain is altogether unlike any that can be found in the waking world. Strips of cloth that may have once been banners peek out from beneath rocks and within crevices, their countenances torn and frayed, making their crests all but unidentifiable. Sandwiched between the boulders that create the base of the range are humanoid limbs that twitch and swat at the empty air from time to time.''

Monthas says, "So much to see and look at."

Thrassus says, "Interesting."

'''Vortelis says, "This one seems more well-formed."'''

Thrassus asks, "Could that be the equivalent to the Reach on the shadow valence?"

(Pukk tries to poke the ripple in the air.)

(Lylia falls silent and peers avidly at the ripple as if searching for something beyond it.)

The temperature drops suddenly as a flickering shadow spectre materializes!

A flickering shadow spectre hisses an evil incantation!

[Periodic bouts of fighting!]

'''Vortelis fixes a small metallic orb to a dark tendril of energy from his urglaes sphere.'''

Arelder concernedly asks, "Is everyone alright?"

Thrassus says, "Quite fine."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "That thing!"

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "Oh..what is the that orb for."

'''The probe vanishes into the ripple of air. The tendril of dark energy flickers around, as if being drawn like a line of rope, then begins thrashing and grows taut.'''

Earthdiver says, "Ah, the probe."

Leafiara steeples her fingers together, quietly observing her surroundings.

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Speaking to Vortelis, Raelee asks, "Is the energy connection stable enough?"

Earthdiver asks, "Does the probe also communicate through the tether?"

Thrassus says, "Something must have thought it was bait."

'''Vortelis says, "The issue is that the passage is too violently unstable. But yes, we can gleam some information, in this way."'''

Earthdiver says, "Somewhat like a Familiar, I suppose."

'''Vortelis says, "This will not do. We should get closer to the epicenter of the destruction."'''

Monthas says, "That sounds like a bad idea."

Pukk says, "That is why we are going to do it."

'''Vortelis says, "The shadows will be more intense there, we may be able to use the soulstone on it."'''

Thrassus says, "I have always wondered what it looks like there, anyways."

Earthdiver says, "It will be exciting."

Vivaldi says, "Dead farmers ain't too excitin'."

'''Viselda says, "These particular beasts have been limited. But this is dangerous. There should be more Palestra here right now."'''

Lylia says, "Keenly exciting. I have not seen some of these sights."

Monthas asks, "What is a palestra?"

Amathea quietly says, "More of that insight."

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "A demon slayer."

Speaking to Viselda, Thrassus asks, "As in how many more?"

'''Speaking smugly to Viselda, Moravius asks, "Where are your wandering Palestra of the outlands?"'''

Speaking to Viselda, Earthdiver says, "Do you have any advice."

'''Viselda scowls at Moravius.'''

Speaking to Viselda, Perigourd says, "Some of us here have fair experience at slaying demons as well."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Pukk says, "Don't die."

Speaking to Monthas, Lylia explains, "They are Faendryl expressly trained in the dispatching of demons, among other skills."

Harrower Moravius's group just went northeast.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The land is desolate and broken, with an endless terrain of fragmented, grey earth that is caked in layers of ash. The air is suffocating, with a thick, rancid odor and a faint heat still lingers in the area. The sky is bleak, resembling an expanse of ink-whorled slate.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: east, southwest

Monthas says, "Thank you."

Winrie proudly says, "Leave the dying to me."

Monthas says, "Did not know that."

Amathea quietly exclaims, "No!"

(Arelder rests the flat of his blade on his shoulder, tapping it idly.)

'''In the distance you hear a faintly unreal old bell ringing out. Soon this is met with a massing number of decomposing red-eyed bleak knights, shambling toward you with malicious and bloody intent.'''

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Hey!"

Thrassus says, "Ah, here they are."

A cold, dank wind blows in, followed by a decomposing red-eyed bleak knight!

A decomposing red-eyed bleak knight clatters to its feet.

[Fightinnnngggg!]

Speaking to Moravius, Vortelis says, "That is only going to get worse as the storm intensifies."

Harrower Moravius's group just went east.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

The great northern mountains rise up like a wall of jagged, icy fingers in the distance. Their peaks are obscured by heavy black clouds, and the once fresh mountain air has been replaced by the stagnant, putrid odor of burnt flesh and scorched earth. You also see a towering oily black tree.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Amathea, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Earthdiver blinks in surprise, as though just becoming aware of a towering oily black tree's presence.

Thrassus says, "Oh.."

Monthas says, "Black apples."

Winrie exclaims, "Apples!"

Earthdiver says, "Where..where is that black apple fellow."

Perigourd says, "We saw this the last time we came through."

Speaking quietly to himself, Arelder remarks, "Like the old tales..."

[Frequent skirmishes throughout our time here]

Speaking to a towering oily black tree, Thrassus asks, "Well aren't you magnificent?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Look at how big it is!"

Speaking encouragingly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "You made it so far. No giving up now!"

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "It looks taller when you are lying down, I have no doubt."

Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius says, "Yes, I know. The situation is improving by the minute."

Thrassus asks, "I do wonder if the fruit are the same as the ones in the orchard?"

Leafiara says, "Ah, good, now we more demonstrably prove that these black apples are different than the other black apples."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we have someone to raise her?"

Leafiara says, "Oh, I thought she wanted to be fed to the tree."

Speaking firmly to a towering oily black tree, Arelder says, "Cold steel and prayer..."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie exclaims, "Still not buried!"

Leafiara reassuringly exclaims, "Maybe next time with some other tree!"

'''Moravius says, "Unfortunately we have other experiments remaining."'''

Perigourd says, "Plenty of nicer trees to be absorbed by."

Perigourd nods slowly.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "Thus we should continue, yes? What is next?"

'''Speaking to Vortelis, Moravius asks, "There is one near here, can you feel it?"'''

'''Vortelis nods at Moravius.'''

'''Vortelis says, "Near the ruins to the north."'''

Harrower Moravius's group just went north.

[Talador, The Bleaklands]

Rows and rows of crumbled, charred stones are strewn about the broken landscape where the towering walls of Talador once stood. Even the wind is hot, swirling around and scattering ash and smoldering debris all about. You also see a large unstable ripple in the air.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Perigourd, Earthdiver, Winrie, Vivaldi, Harrower Vortelis, Harrower Moravius

Obvious paths: south

Vivaldi says, "Still smells bad here."

You gaze through the large ripple and see...

''[Shadow Realm]''

''The air hums with an unseen energy, and tendrils of deep shadow trail across the ground like snakes hungrily searching for prey. In the distance, a scarlet light pulses, distorting the bruised sky and smearing the colors like so much paint under an artist's brush.''

Thrassus says, "Oh, we are at the center for certain."

Lylia quietly says, "It smells cleaner than Chaston Griffin's camps."

Lylia purses her lips in a thin line of disapproval.

Earthdiver says, "At least it is warm here."

'''Moravius tweaks the index of the astrolabe along the ecliptic hyperbolic engraved on its rete, looking between his map and the rift as well as the mater.'''

Pukk says, "It's so quiet."

Pukk says, "And peaceful."

Vivaldi says, "So's a grave."

The voice of Pukk says, "I better hide."

Winrie says, "Warm, like a fermenting pile."

Thrassus says, "That light..."

'''Speaking to himself, Moravius says, "This is the best we are going to be able to do, unless the veil is totally broken through somewhere in that wreckage."'''

Thrassus says, "That's the center."

'''Vortelis says, "I will check to see if this rift can be used to charge the soulstone."'''

Monthas asks, "What does the soulstone look like?"

'''Vortelis says, "If I can get a reasonable amount of shadows into it, we can try to open a test portal to the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Vortelis removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in his vortex of shadows.'''

'''Vortelis says, "It looks approximately like this."'''

Monthas produces a gleaming multicolored soulstone from the depths of his spidersilk duster.

Monthas says, "Different than mine."

'''Vortelis holds up two fingers and slowly pinches them together until they are almost touching.'''

Lylia says, "It is pale now, but it was once a vibrant red."

Lylia explains, "It belonged to Aralyte, a Palestra Blade who was instrumental in destroying Althedeus, a sentient creature of shadows that sought godhood."

'''Vortelis brings the pale soulstone up to the ripple in the air and utters some arcane incantations in Faendryl.'''

Earthdiver says, "Godhood sounds like so much...responsibility."

'''The soulstone begins to glow red. Vortelis winces as it heats up and pulses.'''

Lylia quietly says, "She remained within the shadows."

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Arelder explains, "I know we have bigger problems than my memories... but it is a strange feeling seeing it. I grew up a bit west of here... we only rarely visited the capital. These stones seem like they should speak to me. But yet... they don't."

Perigourd nods grimly at Arelder.

'''Writhing shadows bleed through the ripple in the air, forming wispy tendrils that peel off the rift, which get drawn toward the soulstone and siphon into it.'''

Speaking gently to Arelder, Missoni says, "It cannot be an easy thing to see."

Thrassus says, "That pulsing light in the distance just might be where the bells are coming from."

(Winrie spreads her arms wide.)

Speaking quietly to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... are there no further readings to take with the astrolabe or quasi-sphere?"

'''Vortelis swaps the bright red soulstone to his left hand. His right hand is visibly burned on the palm with the imprint of the soulstone on it.'''

Thrassus says, "He is likely there."

Everall glances over at Vortelis and winces.

Earthdiver says, "That heated up surprisingly fast."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk says, "You should see a healer about that."

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "He is going to try to fully open the rift into a portal."'''

Winrie flatly says, "Or, maybe not see one."

'''Moravius says, "Which would allow us to walk in ourselves."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia murmurs, "I have held fires that burned me to the bone. It is nothing we cannot bear."

Monthas asks, "First trip to the bleaklands, and then we go to shadow?"

'''The air abruptly grows cold, the shadows suddenly seem alive.'''

Earthdiver says, "That feels better."

A fluid shadowy bleakwalker drifts in smoothly, trailed by a shadowy haze.

The dark power of the shadowy bleakwalker draws at Grhim.

[Fights...so many fights.]

Vivaldi glances at a delicate azure bonnet.

Vivaldi says, "Killed some poor granny."

'''Vortelis says, "We will do a penetration test on the rift with the soulstone, as Moravius was saying, seeing if it might be able to form a stable portal to the Shadows valence."'''

Thrassus says, "That was a bleakworm."

Thrassus says, "Not a granny."

Lylia says, "A city died here. More than one 'granny' died, I am certain."

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "It may have eaten one, however."

Thrassus says, "Fair point."

'''Vortelis says, "It is not charged fully. But siphoning directly off this rift was fairly fast."'''

Missoni says, "That is promising."

'''Vortelis says, "Hopefully my hand does not transform into a tentacle."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Perigourd says, "Perhaps it can siphon the entirey and close this.. tear."

Speaking quietly to Vortelis, Amathea says, "It might be an improvement."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "That could be exciting."

Monthas says, "That would be a deal breaker."

Lylia says, "On the other hand -- or tentacle -- it could be useful."

Vivaldi says, "Easier to scratch wit tho."

Speaking to Vortelis, Pukk exclaims, "But if it does think of how quickly you can eat food then!"

Missoni says, "That would be fascinating."

'''Vortelis confusedly says, "What? More shadows would only deepen the tear."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Thrassus asks, "Is something wrong?"

'''Vortelis chants in a dark tongue and faces the ripple, swapping the soulstone back to his burned hand and reaching out with it.'''

'''A flash of bright red light ripples outward into the Bleaklands.'''

Monthas says, "Thats the "hello we are here" beacon."

Thrassus says, "That's going to get more attention."

Earthdiver says, "A price for everything."

'''The tear in the fabric of reality looks unstable for a moment, and a bolt of energy soars off it, lashing past Vortelis and arcing up into the night!'''

'''More skin peels back from Vortelis's fingers, leaving ribbons of incarnadine blood and bone in its wake.'''

Pukk says, "I guess shooting a demon with a bow is still not going to work."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia hisses, "Steady on."

'''The light within Vortelis's talisman begins to churn and slowly dissipate until it grows paler, murky, then dull white.'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim says, "The lantern enjoys the taste of other shadows."

Speaking to Vortelis, Vivaldi says, "Don't look too good feller."

Earthdiver says, "How does that keep happening."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "I think they have it out for you."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk says, "You know...I'm starting to think you like being dead."

'''The ripple in the air becomes darker, and the world beyond it begins to melt away, slowly turning bright red as if blood were seeping out across it.'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "It's a small price for knowledge."

Thrassus says, "It's stabilizing."

Vortelis carefully surveys his surroundings.

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Sure! I like risks."

Leafiara agrees, "Well, alright then!"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "It is beautiful."

Leafiara says, "I like the spirit."

Speaking to Leafiara, Winrie says, "Go easy."

'''The bloody hue dims away. Through the rift are shifting vistas of black skeletal trees, piles of bones, cliffs of crimson haze, iron chains through the skies, and a floating island of flesh stabbed through with obsidian. It keeps unstably expanding and contracting.'''

Vortelis gazes with interest at a large unstable ripple in the air.

Earthdiver asks, "What does that mean?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Perigourd says, "I'm quite sure the bleaklands don't quite look like that."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's quite the sight."

Missoni murmurs, "Remarkable."

'''Vortelis exclaims, "Gah!"'''

'''The soulstone suddenly glows intensely bright and fires a beam of red into western sky!'''

'''Vortelis falls over.'''

'''The storm above Melgorehn's Reach is struck with a beam of red light. Its clouds turn bloody red, and for a moment time slows to a crawl, then suddenly snap back with a tidal wave of bright red light!'''

Missoni says, "Mind the storm."

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... curious that the energies can be so attracted to the storm at the Reach, even at this distance. One wonders how far that connection could extend..."

'''Vortelis dusts himself off.'''

'''Vortelis glances at a light red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord in his hand.'''

'''Moravius asks, "The veil is thinning all around us. Vortelis?"'''

Oxhammer says, "Sounds like landin starting to pop."

'''Space itself seems to thin out and stretch, and what little color there is wanes in the bleak lands. The landscape itself seems like a mirage of black trees and soil of flesh threatening to become real.'''

Vivaldi says, "Soil of flesh."

Vivaldi says, "Nawps."

Vivaldi says, "No."

Thrassus says, "It might have stabilized things too much."

(Lylia flicks her gaze uneasily to the south.)

Perigourd says, "One might concur."

Earthdiver asks, "Do we?"

Amathea quietly exclaims, "Not yet!"

'''Vortelis says, "Hold."'''

'''The whites of Vortelis's eyes go dark as he chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

'''Shadows peel off the rift and begin forming into masses of eyes and shadowy tentacles...'''

Monthas says, "Umm."

Thrassus says, "More of them."

(Winrie covers her face with her right arm.)

A massive tenebrous oculoth's central eye suddenly bleeds with a variety of hues, the colors roiling in a shadowy vortex until it finally blossoms with a solid incarnadine hue.

[Big fights!]

Vivaldi says, "Nawp nawp nawp nawp."

Amathea quietly says, "What is THAT."

Earthdiver says, "Ahhh. Finally."

Thrassus says, "Oculoth."

Earthdiver says, "My favorite animal."

Leafiara pleasedly says, "It's been too long."

Speaking to Amathea, Vivaldi says, "Nasty buggers."

Speaking to Amathea, Earthdiver says, "It's a giant eye with teeth."

Lylia says, "Do not implode them."

Pukk asks, "Implode them?"

Earthdiver says, "They...eat...the voids."

Lylia says, "I learned that lesson the hard way."

Earthdiver says, "And will vomit them on you."

Monthas says, "Eww."

Lylia says, "Messily."

Earthdiver says, "What do we have...that attracted the oculoths."

Earthdiver says, "They are normally such uh..peaceful creatures."

Speaking to Amathea, Leafiara exclaims, "We'll make sure it's clear first!"

'''Vortelis keeps incanting with his urglaes sphere hovering between him and the rift. The soulstone streams a thread of darkness and incarnadine light through the sphere into the rift.'''

Leafiara muses, "Relatively speaking..."

Speaking to Vortelis, Earthdiver says, "We will defend you."

Speaking concernedly to Amathea, Winrie says, "If you keep dying, you might not come back."

'''The rift becomes black as midnight, and pierced with two feystone lights.'''

Monthas asks, "Glowing eyes?"

Monthas says, "Or something else."

Leafiara says, "Ah, that's what she looked like last time, I believe."

'''The darkness of the rift resolves around the feystone lights, which burn in the shadowy orbs in the face of a dark elven woman, with a bald head and blood red sigils over her eyes. She is surrounded in blood, and her body is wreathed in shadow. She reaches a shadowy arm out toward you as from the other side of a dark mirror.'''

Perigourd says, "That doesn't seem right."

Thrassus says, "It's Aralyte."

Pukk says, "Yeah..doesn't look crazy at all."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Oh, I am not far..."

Winrie exasperatedly exclaims, "It better be!"

Speaking to himself, Arelder remarks, "No... it can't be..."

Thrassus says, "She's closing the rift, it seems."

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Speaking in Faendryl, Grhim asks, "Have you been inside of there?"

Leafiara says, "Was more or less what she looked like last time..."

Lylia says, "Many of us have been in the realm of shadows."

'''The soulstone burns hot and bright.'''

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Well, you are married to Xorus so..."

Earthdiver says, "Seems like we are still good."

'''Vortelis says, "I have to get this away from here, you should get back to the portal."'''

Speaking to Vortelis, Missoni says, "Surely you will not remain."

Lylia says, "Get it away from here how? I left her; I do not intend to leave you."

Monthas asks, "Are we raising or dragging?"

Earthdiver says, "At this rate, we could persist indefinitely."

'''Vortelis says, "Through a rift, away from these sinkholes, and the mana storm."'''

'''Vortelis says, "For now."'''

Earthdiver says, "Most of us."

Speaking loudly to Amathea, Winrie asks, "Do you still have deeds?"

Speaking quietly to Earthdiver, Arelder replies, "But not with body and soul together."

'''Vortelis tears open space and disappears through it.'''

Leafiara slowly says, "Ah, correction, no, I'm not raising... she died again too quickly."

Thrassus says, "That means we move."

Monthas says, "So drag it is."

'''There is a loud, demonic shrieking through the ripple, which once again becomes unstable and contracts.'''

Earthdiver says, "I wonder what that one could be."

Monthas says, "Ohh yeah we dragging."

Lylia says, "We do not need to drag her."

Earthdiver says, "It has been SOO long since I have talked with a demon of some ability."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "That's probably not good."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia asks, "Do you object to animation?"

Vivaldi says, "A critter."

Pukk exclaims, "Ooh animate her!"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly exclaims, "Nope!"

Pukk exclaims, "That's always fun!"

Monthas says, "That works."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Can't die if i'm dead."

Monthas says, "You sorceress are so efficient."

Speaking to Amathea, Pukk exclaims, "And if Lylia wants she can make you explode too!"

Moravius reluctantly says, "This rift is not viable for us. We should leave this place."

Speaking to Lylia, Grhim says, "You never miss the opportunity to reanimate a corpse."

Speaking to Amathea, Winrie says, "You are now an apple."

Monthas asks, "Wait, did he go into that rift?"

Speaking to Monthas, Perigourd says, "He fled."

Speaking to Monthas, Earthdiver says, "A personal rift."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "A fancy apple."

Lylia says, "His own rift."

Thrassus says, "He went into a different one he created."

Lylia says, "He did not flee so much as he took a dangerous object out of immediate proximity to the rift."

Speaking offhandedly to Amathea, Lylia says, "There may be some side effects. They are usually mild once you are raised."

Thrassus asks, "Where's Moravius?"

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Where indeed."

'''The voice of Moravius says, "Rejoin on me."'''

Earthdiver says, "You are...not apparent."

Lylia says, "You have gotten lost in the darkness."

Leafiara says, "There he is."

Earthdiver says, "Can we stay a while yet."

Thrassus says, "I was worried for a moment."

Pukk says, "Landing is being invaded."

[Fighting breaks out as we make our way toward the portal.]

'''Moravius says, "We are almost there."'''

Earthdiver says, "I would like to have an oculoth one day."

Speaking to Pukk, Perigourd says, "Not surprising considering the Reach pulled some of the portal it looked like."

'''The sky darkens as a huge, mammoth oily black mass peels away from dark patches in the sky. Its gargantuan maggot-like body is a shadowy abomination of arms and thousands of teeth. It slowly descends toward you in the direction of the portal.'''

'''Moravius gazes up into the heavens.'''

'''Moravius says, "Fascinating."'''

Thrassus says, "Another one..."

Leafiara says, "Ahh, the maggot abomination..."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Curious."

Missoni says, "One of those...things."

Earthdiver says, "That could be a large one."

Thrassus says, "They can be killed."

Perigourd says, "Most things can."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk says, "He says many of the things you always say. I think you might be related."

'''The massive shadowy blob of abomination moves closer with its tendrils and jagged teeth.'''

Speaking to Pukk, Raelee says, "We are not."

Perigourd says, "Though with the town imperiled, we may wish to assist there."

'''Moravius says, "Ah, yes. I should get that portal closed."'''

Moravius's group just went through a glowing dark red portal.

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a yellow verlok feather, a glowing dark red portal, a lazy wild deep red dog, a wide-beaked copper verlok'asha that is flying around, a phantasmal indigo-eyed eel that is flying around, a mutilated shadowy Ithzir gibbet, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees, a cedar chip path and a shielded worker encampment.

Also here: Blade Viselda, Arelder, Magister Raelee, Pukk, Bathcwyn Missoni, Emissary Thrassus, Whimweaver Leafiara, Monthas, Squire Everall, Earthdiver, Vivaldi, Perigourd, Brother-in-arms Oxhammer, Winrie, Moravius

(Winrie adjusts her jaw.)

Perigourd says, "I'm going to aid in town."

Leafiara says, "Likewise."

Monthas says, "Thank the gods, we are back."

Thrassus says, "While the pylons can kill the things, it's still a hard fight."

Monthas says, "Not that I didn't enjoy my first trip to the Bleaklands."

A faint song draws attention to an odd silhouette that fades into a shadowy Ithzir omenbearer!

A shadowy Ithzir omenbearer raises her arms as she sings!

[Everyone's least favorite fight!]

'''Moravius walks over to the encampment and picks up a spear of kroderine, then walks back and hurls it into the shadowy portal!'''

'''The shadowy portal abruptly and violently collapses!'''

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly asks, "Oh great...these things followed us through?"

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "That is a handy spear."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "They lead us here!"

Thrassus says, "No, they are manifesting here."

Lylia says, "Not any more, I believe."

The ghostly voice of Amathea quietly says, "Ooohh.....it's all a bit of a blur."

The ghostly voice of Winrie exclaims, "That stupid stone!"

Earthdiver says, "It looks like the town needs a hand."

'''The dark red in the storm clouds of Melgorehn's Reach slowly bleeds away, becoming replaced again with azure and celadon flashes of light.'''

'''Moravius says, "That is marginally better."'''

'''Moravius put a phasing black alloy astrolabe in his black leather case.'''

Thrassus says, "Somewhat, yes."

'''Moravius put a convoluted valencial cartograph in his black leather case.'''

Shadows in the surface of the lake pulse with dark crimson light, for a moment vaguely resembling an otherworldly landscape in its depths.

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "From your readings, what is the primary source of instability in those ruptures?"

'''Moravius says, "If you had all died like this sooner, it would have made triangulating faster."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... for if we could find a way to stabilize them, it seems it would be better both for research and charging the soulstone..."

Speaking to Moravius, Vivaldi says, "Ah already died twice.."

Speaking to Amathea, the ghostly voice of Winrie says, "We did our paty."

'''Moravius says, "It is the chaos of the Bleaklands, and the haphazard way they are formed."'''

Speaking quietly to Winrie, the ghostly voice of Amathea exclaims, "We sure did!"

'''Moravius says, "Eventually they may collapse more fully into portals."'''

Thrassus says, "They might be easier to close at that point."

'''Moravius says, "But it seems quite likely we could get ourselves stranded in the Shadow Realm if we forced one open and it did not hold."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "... then we ought to ensure it holds, yes?"

[missing part of log]

'''Viselda incredulously asks, "What Prelate?"'''

Thrassus says, "Chaston Griffon of course."

Thrassus asks, "You saw that red pulsing light in the distance through the rift, yes?"

Thrassus says, "That might be him."

'''Moravius asks, "In the Shadow Realm?"'''

Thrassus says, "Indeed."

Lylia firmly says, "Prelate Chaston Griffin is a smear of oily soot on a pair of my once-favorite boots and the reason I cannot wear them anymore."

'''Moravius says, "Vortelis is more versed in the history of the Bleaklands than myself."'''

Lylia says, "If any shred of him remains, I shall be happy to sacrifice another pair of boots."

Speaking to herself, Lylia murmurs, "Although perhaps not this pair."

Thrassus says, "Suffice it to say a witch's device detonated in the capital and created the Bleaklands."

Thrassus says, "Taking the Prelate and most of his Blameless along with it."

Perigourd says, "It may just be my persepctive, but it looked like Aralyte dirtected them to attack us."

Thrassus says, "I suspect it might not have destroyed them, however."

'''Speaking to Perigourd, Viselda says, "That was how I perceived it."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "Perhaps she has changed."

Lylia reluctantly says, "I have said before that she must be found. That is one of the reasons why."

Thrassus says, "Those tendrils she directed were reaching for the rift, it appeared to me."

Missoni carefully says, "She was reaching for us. Perhaps she was unaware of the effect she was having."

'''Moravius says, "We did not see her very long."'''

Speaking quietly to Missoni, Lylia says, "I thought that too. It was...ambiguous, in all the chaos."

Earthdiver says, "If only we had some way to track her presence in the Bleaklands."

Perigourd says, "She seemed imbued with shadow, herself."

'''Moravius says, "But there were these Ithzir, as well as shadow entities, spilling out into the Bleaklands from it."'''

Leafiara says, "We're dealing with shadows that appear like Ithzir and might not be them, so it's not implausible to face shadows that also appear like Aralyte and might not be her."

Leafiara says, "Just theorizing."

Perigourd asks, "Is there a point at which the shadows so saturate a person that they cannot be separated from them?"

Leafiara adds, "Although the soulstone does cast doubt on that particular one..."

'''Moravius says, "Siphoning energy out is one thing, but the mutations caused are something else."'''

Lylia says, "I do not recall her name. She spent a great deal of time with Cruxophim. She was so thoroughly taken by shadows that she may as well have been one."

'''Viselda says, "That would be settled with observation and treatment in a thaumaturgical asylum."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee asks, "And how many of those mutations are supported by the shadows? Are they survivable without the shadows?"

'''Speaking to Raelee, Moravius says, "That is a difficulty. Aberrations often become physically dependent."'''

'''Moravius says, "Or they might be able to sustain themselves in some parasitic fashion."'''

Lylia stiffly says, "If she is contaminated in this way, then we must still find her."

Thrassus says, "Another concern is that titanic leech."

'''Viselda says, "I consider this a Palestra matter at this point. But that will be up to the Basilican Magistrate and Dracovir."'''

Thrassus says, "It very well may eventually make its way here."

Thrassus says, "That's what the last one did."

Speaking to Lylia, Earthdiver says, "I have been working on a device to track shadow energy. Perhaps it could be of some use."

Thrassus says, "It scented its prey in the Bleaklands and slowly floated its way here."

Lylia quietly says, "Perhaps. I hope that it might."

'''Moravius says, "The tracing methods will prove useful, even if now it is a virtual certainty that it is all stemming from this valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "You know, it is like saying, Korvath is somewhere on Elanthia."'''

'''Moravius says, "But I think Vortelis will want to enter the Shadows valence from here at Lake Eonak."'''

Thrassus says, "That's likely the safest option."

Perigourd says, "Considering that the breach expanded to the Reach here, it would seem from a safety standpoint to presume the same risks."

Speaking to Moravius, Lylia asks, "Do you have an idea of the time we may expect this to occur?"

Lylia says, "I understand there is some randomness. Periodicity is not predictable with these storms."

'''Moravius says, "The storm cycle is dying down, probably for a month."'''

'''Moravius says, "We would be using the mana storm to help keep the portal propped open when we need it."'''

Lylia adds, "And Harrower Vortelis? He is safe?"

'''Moravius tilts his head and his eyes glaze over.'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes. Vortelis is elsewhere, waiting out the storm."'''

Lylia says, "Good."

'''Moravius says, "He may be in some trouble for hitting it with that beam."'''

'''Moravius says, "With the Archchancellor, I mean."'''

Lylia says, "Trouble follows in the hinterlands; it is just what happens."

'''Moravius says, "But it was chaos. These things happen."'''

Lylia says, "Just so."

'''Moravius says, "He was only half-joking about his hand. That was an intense exposure to shadows."'''

Thrassus says, "It did seem a bit stronger than anitcipated."

Speaking to Moravius, Everall asks, "Will he recover from that?"

'''Moravius says, "We will probably recharge it in a slower way."'''

Earthdiver says, "It happens."

Lylia says, "I did not mean to offend with my jest about the utility of having a tentacle. Nor should he take any comments about Ivas amiss."

'''Speaking to Everall, Moravius says, "If it is just a flesh wound."'''

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "I've seen some mages recreate hands out of pure fire essence."

Lylia says, "I have had...similar incidents with burns to the hands."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... I recall."

'''Moravius says, "Fortunately the storming was relatively mild. I would hate.. well, no... Viselda would hate it, if it were a much stronger volatility."'''

Speaking to Perigourd, Everall says, "I suppose I was unaware whether these circumstances would be treated differently."

Speaking to Everall, Perigourd says, "They may very well be."

Speaking to Moravius, Perigourd says, "I suspect I share her view."

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "You will be the death of us."'''

Arelder wearily says, "Forgive me for parting. This evening has been... overwhelming."

Arelder wearily continues, "...and I wish to be alone."

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "I'll have to work on a report for Sir Guarrin."

Missoni says, "We shall turn in, in that case."

'''Moravius says, "It is virtually certain we will have to go to the Shadow Realm now."'''

Speaking to Moravius, Raelee says, "... that will be interesting."

Speaking to Moravius, Earthdiver says, "I am happy to accompany."

'''Viselda says, "Dracovir will not allow a Palestra to be in that condition, left to her own devices in a demonic valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "Yes, well. There is that, as well."'''

Lylia says, "We have been before. We shall go again. I have been eager -- well, no. I have been certain that returning is necessary. I would not say I am eager for it, however."

Thrassus says, "I don't think anyone was planning on leaving her in that state."

'''Viselda flatly says, "Yes. That."'''

Lylia firmly says, "I never have. I have sought to return for a decade."

Lylia says, "I know you have as well, and many others."

'''Moravius says, "It is a difficult and perilous place to harrow, we would not ordinarily try to go to that valence."'''

'''Moravius says, "The rift we will have to make to it will be relatively dangerous."'''

Lylia says, "We do what we must."

'''Viselda says, "The threat obviously outweights the hazard now."'''

Lylia says, "It was not easy when she used the Staff of Ith'can."

'''Moravius says, "That Ur-Daemon relic is presumably still in the Shadow Realm."'''

'''Moravius says, "We will only have the soulstone, and this old wound in the veil."'''

Lylia smiles slightly and says, "We have never shrunk from doing more with less, though, have we?"

'''Speaking to Moravius, Viselda says, "Come along, Moravius. We have higher authorities to answer to over what happened."'''

'''Speaking to Viselda, Moravius says, "Laws? How quaint."'''

'''Viselda rolls her eyes.'''

'''Speaking mockingly to Moravius, Viselda says, "Your Highness."'''

'''Moravius says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."'''

'''Viselda says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch. But not him."'''

'''Viselda squints at Moravius.'''

'''Moravius says, "Famous ancestors."'''

'''Moravius shrugs.'''

'''Moravius tears open a rift that he and Viselda walk through.'''

Lost Palestra (storyline)/2025-11-26 - The Aralyte-enment (log)

2025-11-28T09:21:01Z

UBERWENCH:

The night started with a gentle fall of snow, but we knew we were in for some kind of trouble when the snowflakes turned first crimson, then inky with shadows. We gathered in town and had a fight on our hands with shadowy Ithzir, until the trouble seemed to move away from town and toward Lake Eonak. These events happened post-invasion.

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a yellow-eyed silvery lor mandrake with a wild mane of violet wisp lantern hair, the web-draped Missoni disk, the mural-sided Perigourd cassone, a lazy wild grey dog, the Lylia disk, a huge dark wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it, a large purple wooden barrel and a wood-framed message board.

Tebon says, "Irony smell in tha air."

'''Among the doorways of several shops in town, shadows stir to life, taking on humanoid forms before dissolving into the ground.'''

[General] Leafiara thinks, "No immediate appearances... could be similar to the past few battles where the enemies spontaneously spring up anywhere or everywhere."

Tebon says, "Tha shadows are surroundin' us."

Perigourd says, "Fighting darkness itself, it seems."

Nairdin heartily asks, "What's effective against these?"

Tebon says, "Almost lost my head along with my arm."

Perigourd says, "Persistence."

'''Shadows bleed through the night sky, suffocating the stars. Around Melgorehn's Reach, a crown of shadows slowly forms. The stars soon return, glowing fiery red, like a black banner filled with a thousand glowing crimson eyes.'''

Perigourd says, "That.. doesn't look good."

'''A dark and swirling cloud moves in, hovering directly over Lake Eonak.'''

Tebon says, "Lake Eonak."

[We went for a walk.]

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a white-masked reddish brown puppy with high triangular ears, the silk-veiled Sariara disk painted with scarlet snapdragons, the repousse copper Leafiara disk raised in leafy designs, a battered antique faewood crate, the Destrian disk, a variable lake spirit that is flying around, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees and a cedar chip path.

Also here: Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Sir Geijon, Bathcwyn Missoni, Magister Raelee, Conquerer of Reim Nairdin, Sir Tebon, Perigourd, Amathea, Telekin, Grand Lady Sariara, Destrian, Soulheaven, Squire Legionnaire Taulramil, Pukk, Whimweaver Leafiara

Leafiara yells, "Alright, let's have it!"

Perigourd asks, "Friendly fire?"

Amathea kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Telekin says, "Ama.. you'll die if you stay."

'''Deep shadows stretch across Lake Eonak, its surface seeping with mist, like a shadowy black liquid bleeding out of the murky waters.'''

Speaking to Raelee, Perigourd asks, "You don't think this has something to do with Thadston and Casiphia.. in the lake from before?"

Leafiara says, "Not necessarily. It depends what engages us..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Raelee says, "That is not a leap I am willing to make yet."

Leafiara reconsiders, "Then again, it might be that nothing engages us and we just get buried in a cloud of plague and death."

Perigourd says, "Something that seemed beyond the veil."

Pukk yells, "We will send out our best to defeat you! Her name is Lylia!"

Lylia stiffens herself as she holds her clockwork staff gravely at her side, glowering at all before her.

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Go get em."

'''The shadows spread across Lake Eonak begin to bubble and twist. Crimson glows from the middle of it.'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Here it comes."

Leafiara says, "Right then, here we go..."

Taulramil deeply says, "Prepare."

(Telekin braces.)

Soulheaven quietly says, "If a giant lizard comes out of the lake breathing fire I am out."

Leafiara says, "We wouldn't be that fortunate."

(Lylia's eyes go wide.)

Lylia removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in her wrap.

Missoni looks at Lylia with concern.

Telekin asks, "But.. seriously, would you ever actually marry a halfling?"

'''Lylia looks dizzy for a moment while the soulstone pulses faintly in her hand.'''

(Lylia's fingers tighten around the soulstone until her knuckles are white.)

Speaking carefully to Lylia, Missoni says, "Is that..."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Could it be you, is it you?"

The soulstone in Lylia's hand suddenly flashes bright red, then settles down and becomes pale again.

Speaking in Faendryl to Missoni, Lylia says, "Aralyte."

Amathea glances at Lylia.

'''The soulstone in Lylia's hand flashes bright red, but then gets bright, then keeps getting more intensely bright.'''

Lylia whispers, "I felt it, I felt the heat of it, it --"

Lylia hisses.

Speaking melodically to Lylia, Amathea says, "I KNEW you looked familiar...."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Is that going to explode?"

'''Suddenly a beam of bright red light shoots out of the soulstone up into the clouds!'''

Lylia says, "I am not at all sure. It --"

Lylia gasps.

Lylia tilts her head up.

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... curious."

Lylia raises her hand.

'''The shadows of the storm over Melgorehn's Reach turn blood red for a moment and everything slows to a halt, then it all abruptly snaps back in a bright red flash, with a burst of power blasting through the flows of magic and rippling the very fabric of reality.'''

The ground beneath you violently shakes and rumbles causing you to fall down!

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Lylia bursts out in triumphant laughter!

Pukk says, "Oh great Lylia. Break reality why don't you."

'''In the distance the sky glows as a rift opens with a halo of light saturating the world below it. Several moments later the sky glows in a different direction, then yet another, as somewhere else gets lit up with a lingering glow.'''

Tebon says, "Wat in Voln's name ....."

'''Suddenly, twilight grey lightning lashes in all directions from a point in midair. A rift opens at that singular point, and Thagoria steps out of the rift. Twisting magical energy halos her for a moment before fading away as the rift vanishes.'''

Missoni murmurs, "There are lights everywhere."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "Oh, fair eve."

'''Thagoria asks, "What in all bloody everything is happening here?"'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Perhaps you could tell us."

Leafiara says, "I thought you were about to tell us."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia is breaking things again."

Speaking melodically to Thagoria, Amathea exclaims, "That's what I want to know!"

'''Thagoria says, "Honor and Glory to the Patriarch."'''

Telekin asks, "Jeeze what is that anyway?"

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Are you holding a key of sorts?"

With a wry grin and look of determination, Taulramil turns to lock eyes with Thagoria and then gazes to the horizon and shouts in Common, "Honor! Pride! Glory!"

Lylia explains, "The soulstone in my hand is not mine. It belonged to Aralyte Halanori Faendryl."

'''Thagoria says, "There were just shock waves through the veil, and there were these shadows. I flooded them with light."

Thagoria asks, "Who is Aralyte?"'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "One might consider that since you are holding it.. it is yours, at the moment."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk exclaims, "Light! Why didn't we think of that!"

Lylia says, "Blade Aralyte was largely responsible for unraveling the entity known as Althedeus to us."

'''Thagoria says, "The year 5125 of our Patriarch."'''

'''Thagoria says, "The Shadows demon? I remember hearing something about that ten years ago."'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "And the soulstone was used in this?"

Lylia says, "The Ithzir had another name for it. For them. But it was in a valence of shadow, where it teemed and hungered."

Lylia nods at Thagoria.

Thagoria nods slowly.

Lylia says, "The very one. Aralyte is the one who led the way to the valence. But she was lost there."

Speaking quietly to Telekin, Soulheaven says, "As long as they are not heading torward me...im a big target."

'''Thagoria says, "That is unfortunate. That is a very dangerous valence."'''

Missoni carefully asks, "But what of the Ithzir? Did the come with the shadows, previously?"

'''Thagoria asks, "There were Ithzir?"'''

'''Thagoria says, "What.. that makes no sense... the Basilica Tower monitors, watches the known Ithzir worlds."'''

Lylia says, "The Ithzir knew of what we called Althedeus."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Tebon says, "Were, bein' tha key werd."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lots."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... or something shaped like Ithzir."

Tebon says, "So far."

Leafiara says, "Or at least things that look like Ithzir."

Speaking deeply to Thagoria, Taulramil says, "Not unlike the ones in the old city."

Lylia says, "And these shadows. I believe 'something shaped like Ithzir' may be accurate. I had animated one, but..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I suppose tha shadows kin form howe'er they wish inta wate'er they wish."

Lylia says, "It seems to have gone to dust."

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd asks, "Which then asks, why the ithzir?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "Perhaps that lends credence to the theory that they are merely taking the form of Ithzir."

Leafiara says, "We'd been considering the possibility that they aren't truly Ithzir since their bodies are... more durable."

Perigourd says, "Why the lake."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "Points tha finger away from them."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Indeed. That is why it is particularly troubling to see these, and to see shadows among them."

Leafiara says, "Their behavior doesn't entirely match up either."

Tebon says, "Who e'er them is."

Speaking deeply to Leafiara, Taulramil says, "Who's to say the Ithzir world does not have these there."

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened to make this.. anomalous mountain... shock the veil that way?"'''

Taulramil deeply asks, "Maybe some barrier is weakening and stronger ones can get through?"

Amathea melodically says, "What indeed."

Speaking to Taulramil, Leafiara says, "It's possible, but, the other night, dozens of them all suddenly stopped moving at the same time and then disappeared. It was quite... anomalous."

Lylia says, "You ask excellent questions to which we are not yet certain of the answers."

'''Thagoria dubiously says, "The Vvrael? That sounds unlikely."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "You said something about a soulstone?"'''

Telekin asks, "What if it is a lich who is controlling Melgorehn?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia was having a bad day, and she lost control of her magic and...well...she broke things. But don't blame her. She didn't mean to do it."

Lylia shows Thagoria her red soulstone.

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "The one in her hand seemed to radiate into the shadows above the Reach."

'''Thagoria asks, "Did it do something?"'''

Speaking heartily to Thagoria, Nairdin says, "It started to glow brightly."

Nairdin heartily says, "Then shot into the air."

Tebon says, "Feh, I 'ad an inklin' tha Cabal coul' 'ave 'ad a hand in this early on, nae so sure now."

Lylia says, "This one? It did. When we came here, I felt the heat of it through fabric and leather, burning like a coal, beating like a heart."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well sent a beam of light into the sky."

Speaking melodically to Telekin, Amathea says, "That fool outlived his usefulness long ago...."

Taulramil deeply says, "After the lake went black and got all crimson in the middle."

'''Thagoria asks, "Into that mana storming?"'''

Lylia says, "It has been used as a sort of beacon before. It brought a whole keep back."

Lylia clarifies, "From the shadows."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "From where?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... and that mana storm is quite active in recent history."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Which keep?"

Telekin asks, "The Shadow Plane?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Lylia says, "The Hendoran outpost."

'''Thagoria asks, "There was a Turamzzyrian fortification on another plane, and that soulstone brought it back to this one?"'''

Lylia admits, "It sounds uncanny, but yes."

Thagoria asks, "When did that happen?"

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Years ago, now."

Speaking to Raelee, Lylia says, "Do you recall? It was some years ago now."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Seven, eight..."

Xorus says, "It was in 5116."

Lylia says, "A decade or three, no more."

Leafiara says, "Must have been early 5116 since I moved here later in 5116 and didn't see that."

Emissary Thrassus just arrived.

'''Thagoria asks, "So. This soulstone that belongs to a Faendryl named Aralyte, shot some light beam into that mana storm up there, and it has in the past pushed things through the veil?"'''

Speaking to Thrassus, Lylia says, "The soulstone. It is awake."

Lylia says, "Or it was."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee asks, "Did you gain any sense of the origin... when you sensed the shadows?"

'''Thagoria says, "... and there are Ithzir. Shadows corrupted Ithzir, or shadows in the form of Ithzir."'''

Tebon says, "Ne'er seen one o' my soulstones do that."

Leafiara says, "Sounds like a fine summation."

Speaking quietly to Thagoria, Soulheaven says, "Thats a pretty good summary."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "That is a fair summation of matters, yes. If the Basilica seeks corroborating information, I have notes and contacts available."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's a surprise."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows were of darkness, something analogous to elementals. But more of a sorcerous element, shadow essence, for lack of a better word."'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Shadow essence..."

'''Thagoria says, "One of you speak of the Shadows demon, that valence is intense in that energy."'''

Sariara says, "Spiritelementals."

Thrassus says, "They definately carried the feel of the shadow valence."

'''Thagoria says, "I am not much of a historian. I know the Ithzir have some fear of that demon, or had fear of it at any rate."'''

Lylia says, "You should probably know as well that the soulstone has a song to sing. Aralyte is, or was, alive when the soulstone came to me."

Thrassus says, "You never forget that feeling once you have been there."

Amathea melodically asks, "Did one not attempt to communicate fairly recently?"

'''Thagoria asks, "When did it come to you?"'''

Lylia adds, "And it came to me through the work of a Harrower. Perhaps seven years now?"

'''Thagoria asks, "The Harrower gave it to you?"'''

Lylia says, "Not precisely. It fell at the feet of a knight, and he knew it belonged in Faendryl hands and gave it to me."

'''Thagoria asks, "Fell from what?"'''

Lylia says, "It was ripped from a passage through the veil as Ersix attempted to remove a different threat. Some sort of black roots."

Xorus says, "It was a portal to the Shadow realm valence."

'''Thagoria says, "So the soulstone fell into this world from the Shadow valence, where this Aralyte was lost, and it is her soulstone and it is active now with this shadow storming."'''

Lylia says, "It was not intended to be there. It seemed to exert some sort of pull, as a lodestone will draw iron."

'''Thagoria says, "Interesting."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "May I see it?"'''

(Lylia shows just the briefest moment of hesitation.)

Lylia says, "It has not left me in all the time since it came to me."

'''Thagoria says, "This is very strange."'''

'''Thagoria slowly waves the soulstone over Lake Eonak. It faintly glows red.'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Doesn't seem like something we should just "experiment" with."

'''Thagoria removes a gleaming multicolored soulstone from within the folds of her clothing.'''

Thrassus asks, "Why not?"

'''Thagoria holds her gleaming multicolored soulstone over the pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord.'''

'''The whites of Thagoria's eyes go dark as she chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

Speaking heartily to Thrassus, Nairdin asks, "Because that's how towns burn to the ground?"

Thrassus asks, "This is exactly the sort of thing to experiment with?"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "I have never given up hope that she still lives, or if she still lives and has been changed, resolution that she must be ended."

'''Shadows seep out of the multicolored soulstone, which dims in scintillation, streaming in writhing tendrils into the pale red soulstone.'''

Amathea melodically says, "Well now...tTHAT is interesting."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well thats.."

Tebon says, "Absorbed those shadows..."

'''Thagoria says, "That was one of those elemental soulstones, that the Aelotoi madman Alusius invented."'''

Speaking to himself, Tebon says, "Feh, I shoulda paid more attention ta Cosannie when she's talkin' bout her spellcraft."

'''Thagoria says, "When I passed through on my way here, it sapped some of the energy from one of those writhing black shadows. When I killed one."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. This soulstone of Aralyte's is something similar, an absorber of shadow essence."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It looks only partially charged."'''

Lylia says, "Sir Aydan is the one who handed me the soulstone. His name should be known, and his thoughtfulness. There are many who would keep such an item instead of returning it to Faendryl hands."

Thrassus asks, "I can only assume it has that property due to the exposure to the valence?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "Does that mean if adequately charged, it can be used to open a portal through an elemental instability to the shadow valence?"

Tebon asks, "Does it need shadows that we've 'ad ta fight ta chage it, or jus' fully charged soulstones ta charge it?"

Lylia says, "Yes. It once glowed a brilliant, lustrous red."

Amathea melodically asks, "I don't suppose anyone has investigated the moon chamber?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "I think so. Or at least redirect a portal to the shadow valence."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "I have not been there of late, but I tend not to tread where Rodnay sleeps."

Telekin asks, "Has anyone been to the shadow valence?"

Speaking to himself, Perigourd asks, "Is that something we even wish to do?"

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened that made it less charged?"'''

Amathea melodically says, "Right...."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "Not in some time."

Thrassus says, "Some of us have been there a couple of times."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni whispers aloud, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "A rather hostile place."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "It was drained to white after the outpost's return. Sapped of almost all its energy."

Telekin asks, "What exists there? These shadow demons we've been slaying?"

'''Thagoria asks, "You people have been to the Shadow valence yourselves?"'''

Lylia stiffly says, "Yes. It is no violation of Shieltine's Ward, of course."

'''Thagoria says, "So it was used for valencial transport, and it would seem the shadows is what charges it."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "What does this spot in particular have to do with Aralyte and the Shadow valence?"'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Wonder if they want it for some nefarious scheme."

(Amathea gazes up to the peak.)

Lylia says, "Proximity to the Reach is one possibility."

Thrassus says, "This mountain seems to weaken the Veil in general."

Raelee says, "Thus, the high volume of activity in this region."

Xorus says, "Aralyte used the eye of an Ur-Daemon to turn this lake into a portal to the Shadow valence."

Thrassus says, "If it storms hard enough elementals spread everywhere."

Xorus says, "The Shadows, Althedeus, was trying to cross over into the world here, under this mountain."

Xorus says, "The way to the valence was fueled with blood from demonic blood eating black trees, which Harrower Ersix later tried to remove, which is when we got this soulstone through the rift."

(Lylia surreptitiously eyes the soulstone in Thagoria's hand.)

'''Thagoria says, "I see."'''

'''Thagoria says, "She was stuck there.. she was fighting off demons... the ground turned into demons. She fell into a sea of black liquid, but then she was not dead."'''

'''Thagoria says, "This soulstone feels tethered to a soul. It makes me think of the quasi-spheres the Harrowers use as beacons or anchors for getting back to this world."'''

Thrassus says, "She had been partially absorbed into the valence the last time we were there."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I think mos' e'eryone standin' here, 'as touched tha shadowy realm, an' dealt wit demons afore."

Telekin asks, "Can you tell whose soul?"

'''Thagoria asks, "Wait. Aralyte is still alive, years later, in that valence?"'''

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd says, "Most, probably. One would prefer these valences kept to their own."

Thrassus says, "As of our last encounter with it, yes."

Lylia says, "It is possible. If anyone could, she might."

Nairdin heartily asks, "Didn't someone say they were able to hear Aralyte's mind in the shadow valance?"

Nairdin heartily asks, "Vlashandra maybe?"

Lylia reluctantly says, "It concerns me what she may have become."

Amathea melodically says, "Most curious...."

Thrassus says, "She had fused into the landscape."

'''Thagoria says, "No one would be expected to survive in such a place on their own. Not just the food and water, and the demons, but the corruptive extraplanar energies."'''

Tebon says, "I suppose we coul' form up a party ta search out an' find out fer certain ifin she still be alive."

Lylia hisses, "She was a filthy liar!"

Nairdin heartily asks, "And some theory about charging the soulstone?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Right but there may have been some truths in her lies."

Lylia says, "Vlashandra heard nothing, and it was a ruse."

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

'''Thagoria says, "She would surely have to have been mutated."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "In which case, even if she's alive, is she still herself?"

Speaking to Lylia, Telekin asks, "Would the valence warp her by merely being there, or do you infer that what she'd become as person by simply surviving there?"

'''Thagoria says, "That is what I, or any of us, would be asking."'''

Amathea melodically asks, "If the stone were fully charged....perhaps any lingering connections might become more apparent?"

Thrassus says, "That has definately occurred."

'''Thagoria says, "I do not understand why a Palestra Blade would do such a thing on her own. That is not how any of our safety protocols work."'''

Thrassus says, "Sometimes protocols just don't work."

Lylia reluctantly says, "She did it to save many others."

Lylia says, "Ultimately, to save the fabric of this valence from unraveling, perhaps."

'''Thagoria says, "The safest thing to do would be to leave this here with you, for now, rather than bring it back to Ta'Faendryl and risk entangling other gateways or who knows what else."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Wehnimer's Landing is proximal, but a threat such as Althedeus could have imperiled the South as well."

Lylia says, "I shall care for it as I have since it came to me."

Lylia says, "And of course, it -- and I -- are ever at the disposal of the Basilica."

'''Thagoria says, "I have to bring this to the attention of the Basilican Sorcerer. I am not part of the same branch of things as the Palestra, whatever was involved with her work is beyond my rank."'''

Thrassus says, "Along with the rest of the Spire."

'''Thagoria says, "The fact that there are Ithzir invading here, and not from anywhere we expect, in itself should raise concern in the Basilica."'''

Perigourd says, "And elsewhere."

Thrassus asks, "Are we sure those things are true Ithzir?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "No."

Thrassus says, "I mean, they almost act as a hive mind at times."

Lylia says, "If they take Ithzir form, then they have been near Ithzir to replicate them."

'''Thagoria says, "But then this matter of a possibly twisted Palestra Blade in addition. I do not know what they will decide to do."'''

Lylia quietly says, "I have spent sleepless nights wondering that as well. She is a venerable Blade, not of the Mahkra Academy."

Telekin asks, "Would they search for her?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Perhaps they are both ithzir and not ithzir. shadows of the beings. many other things came from there before."

Telekin says, "Use the soulstone, open a gate and form a search party."

Lylia diplomatically says, "Who are, of course, remarkable in their own right -- but they have had years, not centuries, to their name."

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "A significant risk."

'''Thagoria says, "It is a security liability for us, in multiple ways, for a Palestra Blade to be compromised in that fashion."'''

Speaking heartily to Telekin, Nairdin says, "We tried that about a decade ago at ebon gate. didn't turn out well."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "They would need to find her, yes."

Speaking to Perigourd, Telekin asks, "Because of what could come through?"

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "Indeed, and because not all portals opened are so easily closed."

Nairdin heartily says, "Going into random portals is not a good idea. it can change things in both places."

Tebon says, "I recall a time where we did sumthin' similar in usin' gateways ta search fer things, an' endin' up fighting a really nasty oculoth."

'''Thagoria says, "This is a very dangerous valence we speak of. It is not the kind we would ordinarily visit, and in fact, it has historically been very difficult to access."'''

'''Thagoria says, "That must be why she resorted to an Ur-Daemon relic."'''

Thrassus says, "It's rather hostile to life as we know it."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows seem to be breaking up for now."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "Pretty sure its going to be calm for now at least."

Telekin says, "We did well then."

Missoni murmurs, "They will return, I am sure."

'''The shadows of Lake Eonak begin to slowly dry up. Visibly shrinking...

The shadows of Lake Eonak shrink further and further...'''

Lylia admits, "I am not entirely sure. It was Aralyte's; I recognized it on her. But whether it was something that she wore as a talisman, as some sort of phylactery, or something else, I am not certain -- and I never got to ask."

Pukk says, "Nice! And we didn't even have to sacrifice Lylia...I mean...see what Lylia...oh nevermind...I stand by the first part."

'''Thagoria says, "The threat seems to have halted."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Telekin asks, "Will you question your peers about finding her?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Thank you for your time. Of course I know the Basilica sees much, but it is a great relief to see evidence of this."

Thagoria says, "I will raise the matter with my superior, the Arch Chancellor of the Clerisy."

Missoni nods approvingly.

'''Thagoria says, "That is a high enough level to rattle loose anything."'''

'''Thagoria scratches her hands through her hair with some frustration and exhales slowly.'''

'''Thagoria says, "Unless there is something else I should know to report to the Basilica, I will return to New Ta'Faendryl, I will probably speak to the High Magus on duty first as he is in charge of monitoring the wards on the
veils."'''

Tebon says, "'Welp, all we kin do here, is jus' keep tryin' ta protect tha innocents."

Thrassus says, "You might also want to let them know that this isn't the first time the Ithzir have attacked here."

Lylia adds, "And about Rodnay."

'''Thagoria asks, "They have attacked here before?"'''

Tebon says, "Mebbe urge 'em a lil bit."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "The shadows did also speak, twice, previously. In Ithzir."

Thrassus says, "There's a pyramid sunken in the Bay, even."

'''Thagoria asks, "These Ithzir or different ones?"'''

Thrassus says, "Different ones."

'''Thagoria asks, "One of their pyramids is in Darkstone Bay?"'''

Lylia says, "The part-Ithzir hybrid pupating atop the Reach. Oh yes, and that Ithzir pyramid. I believe there is an obelisk sunk in the sands, too."

Speaking quietly to Thrassus, Raelee says, "I do want to raise that. I have for years."

Tebon says, "Ithzir, shadows, shadows that change inta mirror images of folks an' then attack us."

Lylia reluctantly admits, "When you say it all together like this, it sounds like quite a lot."

Leafiara says, "This area plays host to many oddities."

Perigourd says, "One might consider how the storm was affected by the Talon as well, when we used the storm above to transport Darkstone Keep."

'''Thagoria says, "The Ithzir feed on mana and there is a cambion pupating inside this mountain upon all of that..."'''

Lylia simply says, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "That's just some of the more recent things, yes."

'''Thagoria says, "And there is one of their pyramid siege engines, which they use as anchors, or beacons, for securing access to worlds, under the Darkstone Bay."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "When you say it like that..."

Lylia says, "It is one of the reasons I stay here; it is certainly not for the weather. We get storms rolling in off the Bay all the time."

Amathea melodically asks, "Have the shadowy ones been seen around the pyramid as of late?"

Lylia says, "Someone must keep watch."

'''Thagoria says, "And Ithzir from one of the other valences invaded here, it sounds like because of this mountain thinning the veil and crossing worlds."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Perigourd says, "If they have, it is hard to say as it's at the bottom of the bay."

'''Thagoria asks, "What Ithzir world was it?"'''

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "Not that I have seen; they do not seem to venture toward the Black Sands in particular."

Xorus says, "Kol Tar'sken."

Thrassus says, "At least a few of us have sent reports of these things over the years."

Thrassus says, "I can only assume whoever reviewed them mistook them for wild tales."

'''Thagoria says, "That is one of the Ithzir worlds the Basilica would have noticed. They must have monitored the situation without intervening."'''

'''Thagoria says, "Again. Way beyond my rank and role in the Basilica."'''

'''Thagoria says, "I work with the sorcerer guilds."'''

Perigourd asks, "Why wouldn't they intervene if they knew?"

Lylia agrees, "Far beyond my scope as well. But I do write letters."

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "Politics, if I had to guess."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "Sometimes it is best to observe."

Perigourd says, "A warning would have been nice."

Leafiara says, "They don't owe any such thing."

'''Thagoria says, "From what some of you said, a Turamzzyrian fortress got pulled into that Ithzir world, in that incident."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It does not take much speculative reach to imagine why they only monitored the situation."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. I am going back to Ta'Faendryl now to be loud, and I will see what they have to say to me."'''

Thrassus says, "Good luck."

'''Thagoria says, "I think you will all need more luck than myself."'''

Thrassus says, "Maybe mentioning potential Ur-Daemonic forces will get them to wake up."

'''Thagoria flicks her wrist and tears open a rift in the fabric of reality. She steps through and the rift collapses with a flash into a pinpoint of light.'''

Lost Palestra (storyline)/2025-11-26 - The Aralyte-enment (log)

2025-11-28T08:46:14Z

UBERWENCH:

The night started with a gentle fall of snow, but we knew we were in for some kind of trouble when the snowflakes turned first crimson, then inky with shadows. We gathered in town and had a fight on our hands with shadowy Ithzir, until the trouble seemed to move away from town and toward Lake Eonak. These events happened post-invasion.

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a yellow-eyed silvery lor mandrake with a wild mane of violet wisp lantern hair, the web-draped Missoni disk, the mural-sided Perigourd cassone, a lazy wild grey dog, the Lylia disk, a huge dark wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it, a large purple wooden barrel and a wood-framed message board.

Tebon says, "Irony smell in tha air."

'''Among the doorways of several shops in town, shadows stir to life, taking on humanoid forms before dissolving into the ground.'''

[General] Leafiara thinks, "No immediate appearances... could be similar to the past few battles where the enemies spontaneously spring up anywhere or everywhere."

Tebon says, "Tha shadows are surroundin' us."

Perigourd says, "Fighting darkness itself, it seems."

Nairdin heartily asks, "What's effective against these?"

Tebon says, "Almost lost my head along with my arm."

Perigourd says, "Persistence."

'''Shadows bleed through the night sky, suffocating the stars. Around Melgorehn's Reach, a crown of shadows slowly forms. The stars soon return, glowing fiery red, like a black banner filled with a thousand glowing crimson eyes.'''

Perigourd says, "That.. doesn't look good."

'''A dark and swirling cloud moves in, hovering directly over Lake Eonak.'''

Tebon says, "Lake Eonak."

[We went for a walk.]

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a white-masked reddish brown puppy with high triangular ears, the silk-veiled Sariara disk painted with scarlet snapdragons, the repousse copper Leafiara disk raised in leafy designs, a battered antique faewood crate, the Destrian disk, a variable lake spirit that is flying around, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees and a cedar chip path.

Also here: Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Sir Geijon, Bathcwyn Missoni, Magister Raelee, Conquerer of Reim Nairdin, Sir Tebon, Perigourd, Amathea, Telekin, Grand Lady Sariara, Destrian, Soulheaven, Squire Legionnaire Taulramil, Pukk, Whimweaver Leafiara

Leafiara yells, "Alright, let's have it!"

Perigourd asks, "Friendly fire?"

Amathea kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Telekin says, "Ama.. you'll die if you stay."

'''Deep shadows stretch across Lake Eonak, its surface seeping with mist, like a shadowy black liquid bleeding out of the murky waters.'''

Speaking to Raelee, Perigourd asks, "You don't think this has something to do with Thadston and Casiphia.. in the lake from before?"

Leafiara says, "Not necessarily. It depends what engages us..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Raelee says, "That is not a leap I am willing to make yet."

Leafiara reconsiders, "Then again, it might be that nothing engages us and we just get buried in a cloud of plague and death."

Perigourd says, "Something that seemed beyond the veil."

Pukk yells, "We will send out our best to defeat you! Her name is Lylia!"

Lylia stiffens herself as she holds her clockwork staff gravely at her side, glowering at all before her.

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Go get em."

'''The shadows spread across Lake Eonak begin to bubble and twist. Crimson glows from the middle of it.'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Here it comes."

Leafiara says, "Right then, here we go..."

Taulramil deeply says, "Prepare."

(Telekin braces.)

Soulheaven quietly says, "If a giant lizard comes out of the lake breathing fire I am out."

Leafiara says, "We wouldn't be that fortunate."

(Lylia's eyes go wide.)

Lylia removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in her wrap.

Missoni looks at Lylia with concern.

Telekin asks, "But.. seriously, would you ever actually marry a halfling?"

'''Lylia looks dizzy for a moment while the soulstone pulses faintly in her hand.'''

(Lylia's fingers tighten around the soulstone until her knuckles are white.)

Speaking carefully to Lylia, Missoni says, "Is that..."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Could it be you, is it you?"

The soulstone in Lylia's hand suddenly flashes bright red, then settles down and becomes pale again.

Speaking in Faendryl to Missoni, Lylia says, "Aralyte."

Amathea glances at Lylia.

'''The soulstone in Lylia's hand flashes bright red, but then gets bright, then keeps getting more intensely bright.'''

Lylia whispers, "I felt it, I felt the heat of it, it --"

Lylia hisses.

Speaking melodically to Lylia, Amathea says, "I KNEW you looked familiar...."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Is that going to explode?"

'''Suddenly a beam of bright red light shoots out of the soulstone up into the clouds!'''

Lylia says, "I am not at all sure. It --"

Lylia gasps.

Lylia tilts her head up.

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... curious."

Lylia raises her hand.

'''The shadows of the storm over Melgorehn's Reach turn blood red for a moment and everything slows to a halt, then it all abruptly snaps back in a bright red flash, with a burst of power blasting through the flows of magic and rippling the very fabric of reality.'''

The ground beneath you violently shakes and rumbles causing you to fall down!

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Lylia bursts out in triumphant laughter!

Pukk says, "Oh great Lylia. Break reality why don't you."

'''In the distance the sky glows as a rift opens with a halo of light saturating the world below it. Several moments later the sky glows in a different direction, then yet another, as somewhere else gets lit up with a lingering glow.'''

Tebon says, "Wat in Voln's name ....."

'''Suddenly, twilight grey lightning lashes in all directions from a point in midair. A rift opens at that singular point, and Thagoria steps out of the rift. Twisting magical energy halos her for a moment before fading away as the rift vanishes.'''

Missoni murmurs, "There are lights everywhere."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "Oh, fair eve."

'''Thagoria asks, "What in all bloody everything is happening here?"'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Perhaps you could tell us."

Leafiara says, "I thought you were about to tell us."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia is breaking things again."

Speaking melodically to Thagoria, Amathea exclaims, "That's what I want to know!"

'''Thagoria says, "Honor and Glory to the Patriarch."'''

Telekin asks, "Jeeze what is that anyway?"

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Are you holding a key of sorts?"

With a wry grin and look of determination, Taulramil turns to lock eyes with Thagoria and then gazes to the horizon and shouts in Common, "Honor! Pride! Glory!"

Lylia explains, "The soulstone in my hand is not mine. It belonged to Aralyte Halanori Faendryl."

'''Thagoria says, "There were just shock waves through the veil, and there were these shadows. I flooded them with light."

Thagoria asks, "Who is Aralyte?"'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "One might consider that since you are holding it.. it is yours, at the moment."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk exclaims, "Light! Why didn't we think of that!"

Lylia says, "Blade Aralyte was largely responsible for unraveling the entity known as Althedeus to us."

'''Thagoria says, "The year 5125 of our Patriarch."'''

'''Thagoria says, "The Shadows demon? I remember hearing something about that ten years ago."'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "And the soulstone was used in this?"

Lylia says, "The Ithzir had another name for it. For them. But it was in a valence of shadow, where it teemed and hungered."

Lylia nods at Thagoria.

Thagoria nods slowly.

Lylia says, "The very one. Aralyte is the one who led the way to the valence. But she was lost there."

Speaking quietly to Telekin, Soulheaven says, "As long as they are not heading torward me...im a big target."

'''Thagoria says, "That is unfortunate. That is a very dangerous valence."'''

Missoni carefully asks, "But what of the Ithzir? Did the come with the shadows, previously?"

'''Thagoria asks, "There were Ithzir?"'''

Lylia says, "The Ithzir knew of what we called Althedeus."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Tebon says, "Were, bein' tha key werd."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lots."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... or something shaped like Ithzir."

Tebon says, "So far."

Leafiara says, "Or at least things that look like Ithzir."

Speaking deeply to Thagoria, Taulramil says, "Not unlike the ones in the old city."

Lylia says, "And these shadows. I believe 'something shaped like Ithzir' may be accurate. I had animated one, but..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I suppose tha shadows kin form howe'er they wish inta wate'er they wish."

Lylia says, "It seems to have gone to dust."

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd asks, "Which then asks, why the ithzir?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "Perhaps that lends credence to the theory that they are merely taking the form of Ithzir."

Leafiara says, "We'd been considering the possibility that they aren't truly Ithzir since their bodies are... more durable."

Perigourd says, "Why the lake."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "Points tha finger away from them."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Indeed. That is why it is particularly troubling to see these, and to see shadows among them."

Leafiara says, "Their behavior doesn't entirely match up either."

Tebon says, "Who e'er them is."

Speaking deeply to Leafiara, Taulramil says, "Who's to say the Ithzir world does not have these there."

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened to make this.. anomalous mountain... shock the veil that way?"'''

Taulramil deeply asks, "Maybe some barrier is weakening and stronger ones can get through?"

Amathea melodically says, "What indeed."

Speaking to Taulramil, Leafiara says, "It's possible, but, the other night, dozens of them all suddenly stopped moving at the same time and then disappeared. It was quite... anomalous."

Lylia says, "You ask excellent questions to which we are not yet certain of the answers."

'''Thagoria dubiously says, "The Vvrael? That sounds unlikely."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "You said something about a soulstone?"'''

Telekin asks, "What if it is a lich who is controlling Melgorehn?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia was having a bad day, and she lost control of her magic and...well...she broke things. But don't blame her. She didn't mean to do it."

Lylia shows Thagoria her red soulstone.

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "The one in her hand seemed to radiate into the shadows above the Reach."

'''Thagoria asks, "Did it do something?"'''

Speaking heartily to Thagoria, Nairdin says, "It started to glow brightly."

Nairdin heartily says, "Then shot into the air."

Tebon says, "Feh, I 'ad an inklin' tha Cabal coul' 'ave 'ad a hand in this early on, nae so sure now."

Lylia says, "This one? It did. When we came here, I felt the heat of it through fabric and leather, burning like a coal, beating like a heart."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well sent a beam of light into the sky."

Speaking melodically to Telekin, Amathea says, "That fool outlived his usefulness long ago...."

Taulramil deeply says, "After the lake went black and got all crimson in the middle."

'''Thagoria asks, "Into that mana storming?"'''

Lylia says, "It has been used as a sort of beacon before. It brought a whole keep back."

Lylia clarifies, "From the shadows."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "From where?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... and that mana storm is quite active in recent history."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Which keep?"

Telekin asks, "The Shadow Plane?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Lylia says, "The Hendoran outpost."

'''Thagoria asks, "There was a Turamzzyrian fortification on another plane, and that soulstone brought it back to this one?"'''

Lylia admits, "It sounds uncanny, but yes."

Thagoria asks, "When did that happen?"

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Years ago, now."

Speaking to Raelee, Lylia says, "Do you recall? It was some years ago now."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Seven, eight..."

Xorus says, "It was in 5116."

Lylia says, "A decade or three, no more."

Leafiara says, "Must have been early 5116 since I moved here later in 5116 and didn't see that."

Emissary Thrassus just arrived.

'''Thagoria asks, "So. This soulstone that belongs to a Faendryl named Aralyte, shot some light beam into that mana storm up there, and it has in the past pushed things through the veil?"'''

Speaking to Thrassus, Lylia says, "The soulstone. It is awake."

Lylia says, "Or it was."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee asks, "Did you gain any sense of the origin... when you sensed the shadows?"

'''Thagoria says, "... and there are Ithzir. Shadows corrupted Ithzir, or shadows in the form of Ithzir."'''

Tebon says, "Ne'er seen one o' my soulstones do that."

Leafiara says, "Sounds like a fine summation."

Speaking quietly to Thagoria, Soulheaven says, "Thats a pretty good summary."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "That is a fair summation of matters, yes. If the Basilica seeks corroborating information, I have notes and contacts available."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's a surprise."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows were of darkness, something analogous to elementals. But more of a sorcerous element, shadow essence, for lack of a better word."'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Shadow essence..."

'''Thagoria says, "One of you speak of the Shadows demon, that valence is intense in that energy."'''

Sariara says, "Spiritelementals."

Thrassus says, "They definately carried the feel of the shadow valence."

'''Thagoria says, "I am not much of a historian. I know the Ithzir have some fear of that demon, or had fear of it at any rate."'''

Lylia says, "You should probably know as well that the soulstone has a song to sing. Aralyte is, or was, alive when the soulstone came to me."

Thrassus says, "You never forget that feeling once you have been there."

Amathea melodically asks, "Did one not attempt to communicate fairly recently?"

'''Thagoria asks, "When did it come to you?"'''

Lylia adds, "And it came to me through the work of a Harrower. Perhaps seven years now?"

'''Thagoria asks, "The Harrower gave it to you?"'''

Lylia says, "Not precisely. It fell at the feet of a knight, and he knew it belonged in Faendryl hands and gave it to me."

'''Thagoria asks, "Fell from what?"'''

Lylia says, "It was ripped from a passage through the veil as Ersix attempted to remove a different threat. Some sort of black roots."

Xorus says, "It was a portal to the Shadow realm valence."

'''Thagoria says, "So the soulstone fell into this world from the Shadow valence, where this Aralyte was lost, and it is her soulstone and it is active now with this shadow storming."'''

Lylia says, "It was not intended to be there. It seemed to exert some sort of pull, as a lodestone will draw iron."

'''Thagoria says, "Interesting."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "May I see it?"'''

(Lylia shows just the briefest moment of hesitation.)

Lylia says, "It has not left me in all the time since it came to me."

'''Thagoria says, "This is very strange."'''

'''Thagoria slowly waves the soulstone over Lake Eonak. It faintly glows red.'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Doesn't seem like something we should just "experiment" with."

'''Thagoria removes a gleaming multicolored soulstone from within the folds of her clothing.'''

Thrassus asks, "Why not?"

'''Thagoria holds her gleaming multicolored soulstone over the pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord.'''

'''The whites of Thagoria's eyes go dark as she chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

Speaking heartily to Thrassus, Nairdin asks, "Because that's how towns burn to the ground?"

Thrassus asks, "This is exactly the sort of thing to experiment with?"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "I have never given up hope that she still lives, or if she still lives and has been changed, resolution that she must be ended."

'''Shadows seep out of the multicolored soulstone, which dims in scintillation, streaming in writhing tendrils into the pale red soulstone.'''

Amathea melodically says, "Well now...tTHAT is interesting."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well thats.."

Tebon says, "Absorbed those shadows..."

'''Thagoria says, "That was one of those elemental soulstones, that the Aelotoi madman Alusius invented."'''

Speaking to himself, Tebon says, "Feh, I shoulda paid more attention ta Cosannie when she's talkin' bout her spellcraft."

'''Thagoria says, "When I passed through on my way here, it sapped some of the energy from one of those writhing black shadows. When I killed one."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. This soulstone of Aralyte's is something similar, an absorber of shadow essence."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It looks only partially charged."'''

Lylia says, "Sir Aydan is the one who handed me the soulstone. His name should be known, and his thoughtfulness. There are many who would keep such an item instead of returning it to Faendryl hands."

Thrassus asks, "I can only assume it has that property due to the exposure to the valence?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "Does that mean if adequately charged, it can be used to open a portal through an elemental instability to the shadow valence?"

Tebon asks, "Does it need shadows that we've 'ad ta fight ta chage it, or jus' fully charged soulstones ta charge it?"

Lylia says, "Yes. It once glowed a brilliant, lustrous red."

Amathea melodically asks, "I don't suppose anyone has investigated the moon chamber?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "I think so. Or at least redirect a portal to the shadow valence."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "I have not been there of late, but I tend not to tread where Rodnay sleeps."

Telekin asks, "Has anyone been to the shadow valence?"

Speaking to himself, Perigourd asks, "Is that something we even wish to do?"

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened that made it less charged?"'''

Amathea melodically says, "Right...."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "Not in some time."

Thrassus says, "Some of us have been there a couple of times."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni whispers aloud, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "A rather hostile place."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "It was drained to white after the outpost's return. Sapped of almost all its energy."

Telekin asks, "What exists there? These shadow demons we've been slaying?"

'''Thagoria asks, "You people have been to the Shadow valence yourselves?"'''

Lylia stiffly says, "Yes. It is no violation of Shieltine's Ward, of course."

'''Thagoria says, "So it was used for valencial transport, and it would seem the shadows is what charges it."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "What does this spot in particular have to do with Aralyte and the Shadow valence?"'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Wonder if they want it for some nefarious scheme."

(Amathea gazes up to the peak.)

Lylia says, "Proximity to the Reach is one possibility."

Thrassus says, "This mountain seems to weaken the Veil in general."

Raelee says, "Thus, the high volume of activity in this region."

Xorus says, "Aralyte used the eye of an Ur-Daemon to turn this lake into a portal to the Shadow valence."

Thrassus says, "If it storms hard enough elementals spread everywhere."

Xorus says, "The Shadows, Althedeus, was trying to cross over into the world here, under this mountain."

Xorus says, "The way to the valence was fueled with blood from demonic blood eating black trees, which Harrower Ersix later tried to remove, which is when we got this soulstone through the rift."

(Lylia surreptitiously eyes the soulstone in Thagoria's hand.)

'''Thagoria says, "I see."'''

'''Thagoria says, "She was stuck there.. she was fighting off demons... the ground turned into demons. She fell into a sea of black liquid, but then she was not dead."'''

'''Thagoria says, "This soulstone feels tethered to a soul. It makes me think of the quasi-spheres the Harrowers use as beacons or anchors for getting back to this world."'''

Thrassus says, "She had been partially absorbed into the valence the last time we were there."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I think mos' e'eryone standin' here, 'as touched tha shadowy realm, an' dealt wit demons afore."

Telekin asks, "Can you tell whose soul?"

'''Thagoria asks, "Wait. Aralyte is still alive, years later, in that valence?"'''

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd says, "Most, probably. One would prefer these valences kept to their own."

Thrassus says, "As of our last encounter with it, yes."

Lylia says, "It is possible. If anyone could, she might."

Nairdin heartily asks, "Didn't someone say they were able to hear Aralyte's mind in the shadow valance?"

Nairdin heartily asks, "Vlashandra maybe?"

Lylia reluctantly says, "It concerns me what she may have become."

Amathea melodically says, "Most curious...."

Thrassus says, "She had fused into the landscape."

'''Thagoria says, "No one would be expected to survive in such a place on their own. Not just the food and water, and the demons, but the corruptive extraplanar energies."'''

Tebon says, "I suppose we coul' form up a party ta search out an' find out fer certain ifin she still be alive."

Lylia hisses, "She was a filthy liar!"

Nairdin heartily asks, "And some theory about charging the soulstone?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Right but there may have been some truths in her lies."

Lylia says, "Vlashandra heard nothing, and it was a ruse."

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

'''Thagoria says, "She would surely have to have been mutated."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "In which case, even if she's alive, is she still herself?"

Speaking to Lylia, Telekin asks, "Would the valence warp her by merely being there, or do you infer that what she'd become as person by simply surviving there?"

'''Thagoria says, "That is what I, or any of us, would be asking."'''

Amathea melodically asks, "If the stone were fully charged....perhaps any lingering connections might become more apparent?"

Thrassus says, "That has definately occurred."

'''Thagoria says, "I do not understand why a Palestra Blade would do such a thing on her own. That is not how any of our safety protocols work."'''

Thrassus says, "Sometimes protocols just don't work."

Lylia reluctantly says, "She did it to save many others."

Lylia says, "Ultimately, to save the fabric of this valence from unraveling, perhaps."

'''Thagoria says, "The safest thing to do would be to leave this here with you, for now, rather than bring it back to Ta'Faendryl and risk entangling other gateways or who knows what else."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Wehnimer's Landing is proximal, but a threat such as Althedeus could have imperiled the South as well."

Lylia says, "I shall care for it as I have since it came to me."

Lylia says, "And of course, it -- and I -- are ever at the disposal of the Basilica."

'''Thagoria says, "I have to bring this to the attention of the Basilican Sorcerer. I am not part of the same branch of things as the Palestra, whatever was involved with her work is beyond my rank."'''

Thrassus says, "Along with the rest of the Spire."

'''Thagoria says, "The fact that there are Ithzir invading here, and not from anywhere we expect, in itself should raise concern in the Basilica."'''

Perigourd says, "And elsewhere."

Thrassus asks, "Are we sure those things are true Ithzir?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "No."

Thrassus says, "I mean, they almost act as a hive mind at times."

Lylia says, "If they take Ithzir form, then they have been near Ithzir to replicate them."

'''Thagoria says, "But then this matter of a possibly twisted Palestra Blade in addition. I do not know what they will decide to do."'''

Lylia quietly says, "I have spent sleepless nights wondering that as well. She is a venerable Blade, not of the Mahkra Academy."

Telekin asks, "Would they search for her?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Perhaps they are both ithzir and not ithzir. shadows of the beings. many other things came from there before."

Telekin says, "Use the soulstone, open a gate and form a search party."

Lylia diplomatically says, "Who are, of course, remarkable in their own right -- but they have had years, not centuries, to their name."

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "A significant risk."

'''Thagoria says, "It is a security liability for us, in multiple ways, for a Palestra Blade to be compromised in that fashion."'''

Speaking heartily to Telekin, Nairdin says, "We tried that about a decade ago at ebon gate. didn't turn out well."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "They would need to find her, yes."

Speaking to Perigourd, Telekin asks, "Because of what could come through?"

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "Indeed, and because not all portals opened are so easily closed."

Nairdin heartily says, "Going into random portals is not a good idea. it can change things in both places."

Tebon says, "I recall a time where we did sumthin' similar in usin' gateways ta search fer things, an' endin' up fighting a really nasty oculoth."

'''Thagoria says, "This is a very dangerous valence we speak of. It is not the kind we would ordinarily visit, and in fact, it has historically been very difficult to access."'''

'''Thagoria says, "That must be why she resorted to an Ur-Daemon relic."'''

Thrassus says, "It's rather hostile to life as we know it."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows seem to be breaking up for now."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "Pretty sure its going to be calm for now at least."

Telekin says, "We did well then."

Missoni murmurs, "They will return, I am sure."

'''The shadows of Lake Eonak begin to slowly dry up. Visibly shrinking...

The shadows of Lake Eonak shrink further and further...'''

Lylia admits, "I am not entirely sure. It was Aralyte's; I recognized it on her. But whether it was something that she wore as a talisman, as some sort of phylactery, or something else, I am not certain -- and I never got to ask."

Pukk says, "Nice! And we didn't even have to sacrifice Lylia...I mean...see what Lylia...oh nevermind...I stand by the first part."

'''Thagoria says, "The threat seems to have halted."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Telekin asks, "Will you question your peers about finding her?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Thank you for your time. Of course I know the Basilica sees much, but it is a great relief to see evidence of this."

Thagoria says, "I will raise the matter with my superior, the Arch Chancellor of the Clerisy."

Missoni nods approvingly.

'''Thagoria says, "That is a high enough level to rattle loose anything."'''

'''Thagoria scratches her hands through her hair with some frustration and exhales slowly.'''

'''Thagoria says, "Unless there is something else I should know to report to the Basilica, I will return to New Ta'Faendryl, I will probably speak to the High Magus on duty first as he is in charge of monitoring the wards on the
veils."'''

Tebon says, "'Welp, all we kin do here, is jus' keep tryin' ta protect tha innocents."

Thrassus says, "You might also want to let them know that this isn't the first time the Ithzir have attacked here."

Lylia adds, "And about Rodnay."

'''Thagoria asks, "They have attacked here before?"'''

Tebon says, "Mebbe urge 'em a lil bit."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "The shadows did also speak, twice, previously. In Ithzir."

Thrassus says, "There's a pyramid sunken in the Bay, even."

'''Thagoria asks, "These Ithzir or different ones?"'''

Thrassus says, "Different ones."

'''Thagoria asks, "One of their pyramids is in Darkstone Bay?"'''

Lylia says, "The part-Ithzir hybrid pupating atop the Reach. Oh yes, and that Ithzir pyramid. I believe there is an obelisk sunk in the sands, too."

Speaking quietly to Thrassus, Raelee says, "I do want to raise that. I have for years."

Tebon says, "Ithzir, shadows, shadows that change inta mirror images of folks an' then attack us."

Lylia reluctantly admits, "When you say it all together like this, it sounds like quite a lot."

Leafiara says, "This area plays host to many oddities."

Perigourd says, "One might consider how the storm was affected by the Talon as well, when we used the storm above to transport Darkstone Keep."

'''Thagoria says, "The Ithzir feed on mana and there is a cambion pupating inside this mountain upon all of that..."'''

Lylia simply says, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "That's just some of the more recent things, yes."

'''Thagoria says, "And there is one of their pyramid siege engines, which they use as anchors, or beacons, for securing access to worlds, under the Darkstone Bay."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "When you say it like that..."

Lylia says, "It is one of the reasons I stay here; it is certainly not for the weather. We get storms rolling in off the Bay all the time."

Amathea melodically asks, "Have the shadowy ones been seen around the pyramid as of late?"

Lylia says, "Someone must keep watch."

'''Thagoria says, "And Ithzir from one of the other valences invaded here, it sounds like because of this mountain thinning the veil and crossing worlds."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Perigourd says, "If they have, it is hard to say as it's at the bottom of the bay."

'''Thagoria asks, "What Ithzir world was it?"'''

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "Not that I have seen; they do not seem to venture toward the Black Sands in particular."

Xorus says, "Kol Tar'sken."

Thrassus says, "At least a few of us have sent reports of these things over the years."

Thrassus says, "I can only assume whoever reviewed them mistook them for wild tales."

'''Thagoria says, "That is one of the Ithzir worlds the Basilica would have noticed. They must have monitored the situation without intervening."'''

'''Thagoria says, "Again. Way beyond my rank and role in the Basilica."'''

'''Thagoria says, "I work with the sorcerer guilds."'''

Perigourd asks, "Why wouldn't they intervene if they knew?"

Lylia agrees, "Far beyond my scope as well. But I do write letters."

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "Politics, if I had to guess."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "Sometimes it is best to observe."

Perigourd says, "A warning would have been nice."

Leafiara says, "They don't owe any such thing."

'''Thagoria says, "From what some of you said, a Turamzzyrian fortress got pulled into that Ithzir world, in that incident."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It does not take much speculative reach to imagine why they only monitored the situation."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. I am going back to Ta'Faendryl now to be loud, and I will see what they have to say to me."'''

Thrassus says, "Good luck."

'''Thagoria says, "I think you will all need more luck than myself."'''

Thrassus says, "Maybe mentioning potential Ur-Daemonic forces will get them to wake up."

'''Thagoria flicks her wrist and tears open a rift in the fabric of reality. She steps through and the rift collapses with a flash into a pinpoint of light.'''

The night started with a gentle fall of snow, but we knew we were in for some kind of trouble when the snowflakes turned first crimson, then inky with shadows. We gathered in town and had a fight on our hands with shadowy Ithzir, until the trouble seemed to move away from town and toward Lake Eonak. These events happened post-invasion.

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a yellow-eyed silvery lor mandrake with a wild mane of violet wisp lantern hair, the web-draped Missoni disk, the mural-sided Perigourd cassone, a lazy wild grey dog, the Lylia disk, a huge dark wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it, a large purple wooden barrel and a wood-framed message board.

Tebon says, "Irony smell in tha air."

'''Among the doorways of several shops in town, shadows stir to life, taking on humanoid forms before dissolving into the ground.'''

[General] Leafiara thinks, "No immediate appearances... could be similar to the past few battles where the enemies spontaneously spring up anywhere or everywhere."

Tebon says, "Tha shadows are surroundin' us."

Perigourd says, "Fighting darkness itself, it seems."

Nairdin heartily asks, "What's effective against these?"

Tebon says, "Almost lost my head along with my arm."

Perigourd says, "Persistence."

'''Shadows bleed through the night sky, suffocating the stars. Around Melgorehn's Reach, a crown of shadows slowly forms. The stars soon return, glowing fiery red, like a black banner filled with a thousand glowing crimson eyes.'''

Perigourd says, "That.. doesn't look good."

'''A dark and swirling cloud moves in, hovering directly over Lake Eonak.'''

Tebon says, "Lake Eonak."

[We went for a walk.]

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a white-masked reddish brown puppy with high triangular ears, the silk-veiled Sariara disk painted with scarlet snapdragons, the repousse copper Leafiara disk raised in leafy designs, a battered antique faewood crate, the Destrian disk, a variable lake spirit that is flying around, an enormous blue crystal monolith, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees and a cedar chip path.

Also here: Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Sir Geijon, Bathcwyn Missoni, Magister Raelee, Conquerer of Reim Nairdin, Sir Tebon, Perigourd, Amathea, Telekin, Grand Lady Sariara, Destrian, Soulheaven, Squire Legionnaire Taulramil, Pukk, Whimweaver Leafiara

Leafiara yells, "Alright, let's have it!"

Perigourd asks, "Friendly fire?"

Amathea kneels down and begins to recite prayers.

Telekin says, "Ama.. you'll die if you stay."

'''Deep shadows stretch across Lake Eonak, its surface seeping with mist, like a shadowy black liquid bleeding out of the murky waters.'''

Speaking to Raelee, Perigourd asks, "You don't think this has something to do with Thadston and Casiphia.. in the lake from before?"

Leafiara says, "Not necessarily. It depends what engages us..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Raelee says, "That is not a leap I am willing to make yet."

Leafiara reconsiders, "Then again, it might be that nothing engages us and we just get buried in a cloud of plague and death."

Perigourd says, "Something that seemed beyond the veil."

Pukk yells, "We will send out our best to defeat you! Her name is Lylia!"

Lylia stiffens herself as she holds her clockwork staff gravely at her side, glowering at all before her.

Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "Go get em."

'''The shadows spread across Lake Eonak begin to bubble and twist. Crimson glows from the middle of it.'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Here it comes."

Leafiara says, "Right then, here we go..."

Taulramil deeply says, "Prepare."

(Telekin braces.)

Soulheaven quietly says, "If a giant lizard comes out of the lake breathing fire I am out."

Leafiara says, "We wouldn't be that fortunate."

(Lylia's eyes go wide.)

Lylia removes a pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord from in her wrap.

Missoni looks at Lylia with concern.

Telekin asks, "But.. seriously, would you ever actually marry a halfling?"

'''Lylia looks dizzy for a moment while the soulstone pulses faintly in her hand.'''

(Lylia's fingers tighten around the soulstone until her knuckles are white.)

Speaking carefully to Lylia, Missoni says, "Is that..."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia breathes, "Could it be you, is it you?"

The soulstone in Lylia's hand suddenly flashes bright red, then settles down and becomes pale again.

Speaking in Faendryl to Missoni, Lylia says, "Aralyte."

Amathea glances at Lylia.

'''The soulstone in Lylia's hand flashes bright red, but then gets bright, then keeps getting more intensely bright.'''

Lylia whispers, "I felt it, I felt the heat of it, it --"

Lylia hisses.

Speaking melodically to Lylia, Amathea says, "I KNEW you looked familiar...."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Is that going to explode?"

'''Suddenly a beam of bright red light shoots out of the soulstone up into the clouds!'''

Lylia says, "I am not at all sure. It --"

Lylia gasps.

Lylia tilts her head up.

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "... curious."

Lylia raises her hand.

The ground beneath you violently shakes and rumbles causing you to fall down!

Missoni adopts a look of utter repugnance before sputtering an emphatic, "Fishcakes!"

Lylia bursts out in triumphant laughter!

Pukk says, "Oh great Lylia. Break reality why don't you."

'''In the distance the sky glows as a rift opens with a halo of light saturating the world below it. Several moments later the sky glows in a different direction, then yet another, as somewhere else gets lit up with a lingering glow.'''

Tebon says, "Wat in Voln's name ....."

'''Suddenly, twilight grey lightning lashes in all directions from a point in midair. A rift opens at that singular point, and Thagoria steps out of the rift. Twisting magical energy halos her for a moment before fading away as the rift vanishes.'''

Missoni murmurs, "There are lights everywhere."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "Oh, fair eve."

'''Thagoria asks, "What in all bloody everything is happening here?"'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Honor and glory to the Patriarch."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Perhaps you could tell us."

Leafiara says, "I thought you were about to tell us."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia is breaking things again."

Speaking melodically to Thagoria, Amathea exclaims, "That's what I want to know!"

'''Thagoria says, "Honor and Glory to the Patriarch."'''

Telekin asks, "Jeeze what is that anyway?"

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Are you holding a key of sorts?"

With a wry grin and look of determination, Taulramil turns to lock eyes with Thagoria and then gazes to the horizon and shouts in Common, "Honor! Pride! Glory!"

Lylia explains, "The soulstone in my hand is not mine. It belonged to Aralyte Halanori Faendryl."

'''Thagoria says, "There were just shock waves through the veil, and there were these shadows. I flooded them with light."

Thagoria asks, "Who is Aralyte?"'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd says, "One might consider that since you are holding it.. it is yours, at the moment."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk exclaims, "Light! Why didn't we think of that!"

Lylia says, "Blade Aralyte was largely responsible for unraveling the entity known as Althedeus to us."

'''Thagoria says, "The year 5125 of our Patriarch."'''

'''Thagoria says, "The Shadows demon? I remember hearing something about that ten years ago."'''

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "And the soulstone was used in this?"

Lylia says, "The Ithzir had another name for it. For them. But it was in a valence of shadow, where it teemed and hungered."

Lylia nods at Thagoria.

Thagoria nods slowly.

Lylia says, "The very one. Aralyte is the one who led the way to the valence. But she was lost there."

Speaking quietly to Telekin, Soulheaven says, "As long as they are not heading torward me...im a big target."

'''Thagoria says, "That is unfortunate. That is a very dangerous valence."'''

Missoni carefully asks, "But what of the Ithzir? Did the come with the shadows, previously?"

'''Thagoria asks, "There were Ithzir?"'''

Lylia says, "The Ithzir knew of what we called Althedeus."

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Tebon says, "Were, bein' tha key werd."

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lots."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... or something shaped like Ithzir."

Tebon says, "So far."

Leafiara says, "Or at least things that look like Ithzir."

Speaking deeply to Thagoria, Taulramil says, "Not unlike the ones in the old city."

Lylia says, "And these shadows. I believe 'something shaped like Ithzir' may be accurate. I had animated one, but..."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I suppose tha shadows kin form howe'er they wish inta wate'er they wish."

Lylia says, "It seems to have gone to dust."

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd asks, "Which then asks, why the ithzir?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "Perhaps that lends credence to the theory that they are merely taking the form of Ithzir."

Leafiara says, "We'd been considering the possibility that they aren't truly Ithzir since their bodies are... more durable."

Perigourd says, "Why the lake."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "Points tha finger away from them."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Indeed. That is why it is particularly troubling to see these, and to see shadows among them."

Leafiara says, "Their behavior doesn't entirely match up either."

Tebon says, "Who e'er them is."

Speaking deeply to Leafiara, Taulramil says, "Who's to say the Ithzir world does not have these there."

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened to make this.. anomalous mountain... shock the veil that way?"'''

Taulramil deeply asks, "Maybe some barrier is weakening and stronger ones can get through?"

Amathea melodically says, "What indeed."

Speaking to Taulramil, Leafiara says, "It's possible, but, the other night, dozens of them all suddenly stopped moving at the same time and then disappeared. It was quite... anomalous."

Lylia says, "You ask excellent questions to which we are not yet certain of the answers."

'''Thagoria dubiously says, "The Vvrael? That sounds unlikely."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "You said something about a soulstone?"'''

Telekin asks, "What if it is a lich who is controlling Melgorehn?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Pukk says, "Lylia was having a bad day, and she lost control of her magic and...well...she broke things. But don't blame her. She didn't mean to do it."

Lylia shows Thagoria her red soulstone.

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd says, "The one in her hand seemed to radiate into the shadows above the Reach."

'''Thagoria asks, "Did it do something?"'''

Speaking heartily to Thagoria, Nairdin says, "It started to glow brightly."

Nairdin heartily says, "Then shot into the air."

Tebon says, "Feh, I 'ad an inklin' tha Cabal coul' 'ave 'ad a hand in this early on, nae so sure now."

Lylia says, "This one? It did. When we came here, I felt the heat of it through fabric and leather, burning like a coal, beating like a heart."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well sent a beam of light into the sky."

Speaking melodically to Telekin, Amathea says, "That fool outlived his usefulness long ago...."

Taulramil deeply says, "After the lake went black and got all crimson in the middle."

'''Thagoria asks, "Into that mana storming?"'''

Lylia says, "It has been used as a sort of beacon before. It brought a whole keep back."

Lylia clarifies, "From the shadows."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "From where?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee says, "... and that mana storm is quite active in recent history."

Speaking to Lylia, Perigourd asks, "Which keep?"

Telekin asks, "The Shadow Plane?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Lylia says, "The Hendoran outpost."

'''Thagoria asks, "There was a Turamzzyrian fortification on another plane, and that soulstone brought it back to this one?"'''

Lylia admits, "It sounds uncanny, but yes."

Thagoria asks, "When did that happen?"

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Years ago, now."

Speaking to Raelee, Lylia says, "Do you recall? It was some years ago now."

Speaking to Lylia, Raelee says, "Seven, eight..."

Xorus says, "It was in 5116."

Lylia says, "A decade or three, no more."

Leafiara says, "Must have been early 5116 since I moved here later in 5116 and didn't see that."

Emissary Thrassus just arrived.

'''Thagoria asks, "So. This soulstone that belongs to a Faendryl named Aralyte, shot some light beam into that mana storm up there, and it has in the past pushed things through the veil?"'''

Speaking to Thrassus, Lylia says, "The soulstone. It is awake."

Lylia says, "Or it was."

Speaking to Thagoria, Raelee asks, "Did you gain any sense of the origin... when you sensed the shadows?"

'''Thagoria says, "... and there are Ithzir. Shadows corrupted Ithzir, or shadows in the form of Ithzir."'''

Tebon says, "Ne'er seen one o' my soulstones do that."

Leafiara says, "Sounds like a fine summation."

Speaking quietly to Thagoria, Soulheaven says, "Thats a pretty good summary."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "That is a fair summation of matters, yes. If the Basilica seeks corroborating information, I have notes and contacts available."

Thrassus says, "Well, that's a surprise."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows were of darkness, something analogous to elementals. But more of a sorcerous element, shadow essence, for lack of a better word."'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Shadow essence..."

'''Thagoria says, "One of you speak of the Shadows demon, that valence is intense in that energy."'''

Sariara says, "Spiritelementals."

Thrassus says, "They definately carried the feel of the shadow valence."

'''Thagoria says, "I am not much of a historian. I know the Ithzir have some fear of that demon, or had fear of it at any rate."'''

Lylia says, "You should probably know as well that the soulstone has a song to sing. Aralyte is, or was, alive when the soulstone came to me."

Thrassus says, "You never forget that feeling once you have been there."

Amathea melodically asks, "Did one not attempt to communicate fairly recently?"

'''Thagoria asks, "When did it come to you?"'''

Lylia adds, "And it came to me through the work of a Harrower. Perhaps seven years now?"

'''Thagoria asks, "The Harrower gave it to you?"'''

Lylia says, "Not precisely. It fell at the feet of a knight, and he knew it belonged in Faendryl hands and gave it to me."

'''Thagoria asks, "Fell from what?"'''

Lylia says, "It was ripped from a passage through the veil as Ersix attempted to remove a different threat. Some sort of black roots."

Xorus says, "It was a portal to the Shadow realm valence."

'''Thagoria says, "So the soulstone fell into this world from the Shadow valence, where this Aralyte was lost, and it is her soulstone and it is active now with this shadow storming."'''

Lylia says, "It was not intended to be there. It seemed to exert some sort of pull, as a lodestone will draw iron."

'''Thagoria says, "Interesting."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "May I see it?"'''

(Lylia shows just the briefest moment of hesitation.)

Lylia says, "It has not left me in all the time since it came to me."

'''Thagoria says, "This is very strange."'''

'''Thagoria slowly waves the soulstone over Lake Eonak. It faintly glows red.'''

Nairdin heartily says, "Doesn't seem like something we should just "experiment" with."

'''Thagoria removes a gleaming multicolored soulstone from within the folds of her clothing.'''

Thrassus asks, "Why not?"

'''Thagoria holds her gleaming multicolored soulstone over the pale red soulstone suspended by a frayed leather cord.'''

'''The whites of Thagoria's eyes go dark as she chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.'''

Speaking heartily to Thrassus, Nairdin asks, "Because that's how towns burn to the ground?"

Thrassus asks, "This is exactly the sort of thing to experiment with?"

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "I have never given up hope that she still lives, or if she still lives and has been changed, resolution that she must be ended."

'''Shadows seep out of the multicolored soulstone, which dims in scintillation, streaming in writhing tendrils into the pale red soulstone.'''

Amathea melodically says, "Well now...tTHAT is interesting."

Soulheaven quietly says, "Well thats.."

Tebon says, "Absorbed those shadows..."

'''Thagoria says, "That was one of those elemental soulstones, that the Aelotoi madman Alusius invented."'''

Speaking to himself, Tebon says, "Feh, I shoulda paid more attention ta Cosannie when she's talkin' bout her spellcraft."

'''Thagoria says, "When I passed through on my way here, it sapped some of the energy from one of those writhing black shadows. When I killed one."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. This soulstone of Aralyte's is something similar, an absorber of shadow essence."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It looks only partially charged."'''

Lylia says, "Sir Aydan is the one who handed me the soulstone. His name should be known, and his thoughtfulness. There are many who would keep such an item instead of returning it to Faendryl hands."

Thrassus asks, "I can only assume it has that property due to the exposure to the valence?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "Does that mean if adequately charged, it can be used to open a portal through an elemental instability to the shadow valence?"

Tebon asks, "Does it need shadows that we've 'ad ta fight ta chage it, or jus' fully charged soulstones ta charge it?"

Lylia says, "Yes. It once glowed a brilliant, lustrous red."

Amathea melodically asks, "I don't suppose anyone has investigated the moon chamber?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "I think so. Or at least redirect a portal to the shadow valence."

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "I have not been there of late, but I tend not to tread where Rodnay sleeps."

Telekin asks, "Has anyone been to the shadow valence?"

Speaking to himself, Perigourd asks, "Is that something we even wish to do?"

'''Thagoria asks, "What happened that made it less charged?"'''

Amathea melodically says, "Right...."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "Not in some time."

Thrassus says, "Some of us have been there a couple of times."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni whispers aloud, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "A rather hostile place."

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "It was drained to white after the outpost's return. Sapped of almost all its energy."

Telekin asks, "What exists there? These shadow demons we've been slaying?"

'''Thagoria asks, "You people have been to the Shadow valence yourselves?"'''

Lylia stiffly says, "Yes. It is no violation of Shieltine's Ward, of course."

'''Thagoria says, "So it was used for valencial transport, and it would seem the shadows is what charges it."'''

'''Thagoria asks, "What does this spot in particular have to do with Aralyte and the Shadow valence?"'''

Taulramil deeply says, "Wonder if they want it for some nefarious scheme."

(Amathea gazes up to the peak.)

Lylia says, "Proximity to the Reach is one possibility."

Thrassus says, "This mountain seems to weaken the Veil in general."

Raelee says, "Thus, the high volume of activity in this region."

Xorus says, "Aralyte used the eye of an Ur-Daemon to turn this lake into a portal to the Shadow valence."

Thrassus says, "If it storms hard enough elementals spread everywhere."

Xorus says, "The Shadows, Althedeus, was trying to cross over into the world here, under this mountain."

Xorus says, "The way to the valence was fueled with blood from demonic blood eating black trees, which Harrower Ersix later tried to remove, which is when we got this soulstone through the rift."

(Lylia surreptitiously eyes the soulstone in Thagoria's hand.)

'''Thagoria says, "I see."'''

'''Thagoria says, "She was stuck there.. she was fighting off demons... the ground turned into demons. She fell into a sea of black liquid, but then she was not dead."'''

'''Thagoria says, "This soulstone feels tethered to a soul. It makes me think of the quasi-spheres the Harrowers use as beacons or anchors for getting back to this world."'''

Thrassus says, "She had been partially absorbed into the valence the last time we were there."

Speaking to Perigourd, Tebon says, "I think mos' e'eryone standin' here, 'as touched tha shadowy realm, an' dealt wit demons afore."

Telekin asks, "Can you tell whose soul?"

'''Thagoria asks, "Wait. Aralyte is still alive, years later, in that valence?"'''

Speaking to Tebon, Perigourd says, "Most, probably. One would prefer these valences kept to their own."

Thrassus says, "As of our last encounter with it, yes."

Lylia says, "It is possible. If anyone could, she might."

Nairdin heartily asks, "Didn't someone say they were able to hear Aralyte's mind in the shadow valance?"

Nairdin heartily asks, "Vlashandra maybe?"

Lylia reluctantly says, "It concerns me what she may have become."

Amathea melodically says, "Most curious...."

Thrassus says, "She had fused into the landscape."

'''Thagoria says, "No one would be expected to survive in such a place on their own. Not just the food and water, and the demons, but the corruptive extraplanar energies."'''

Tebon says, "I suppose we coul' form up a party ta search out an' find out fer certain ifin she still be alive."

Lylia hisses, "She was a filthy liar!"

Nairdin heartily asks, "And some theory about charging the soulstone?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Right but there may have been some truths in her lies."

Lylia says, "Vlashandra heard nothing, and it was a ruse."

Lylia hisses a filth-laden denunciation in icily precise Faendryl, each syllable sharp with menace.

'''Thagoria says, "She would surely have to have been mutated."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Perigourd asks, "In which case, even if she's alive, is she still herself?"

Speaking to Lylia, Telekin asks, "Would the valence warp her by merely being there, or do you infer that what she'd become as person by simply surviving there?"

'''Thagoria says, "That is what I, or any of us, would be asking."'''

Amathea melodically asks, "If the stone were fully charged....perhaps any lingering connections might become more apparent?"

Thrassus says, "That has definately occurred."

'''Thagoria says, "I do not understand why a Palestra Blade would do such a thing on her own. That is not how any of our safety protocols work."'''

Thrassus says, "Sometimes protocols just don't work."

Lylia reluctantly says, "She did it to save many others."

Lylia says, "Ultimately, to save the fabric of this valence from unraveling, perhaps."

'''Thagoria says, "The safest thing to do would be to leave this here with you, for now, rather than bring it back to Ta'Faendryl and risk entangling other gateways or who knows what else."'''

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says, "Wehnimer's Landing is proximal, but a threat such as Althedeus could have imperiled the South as well."

Lylia says, "I shall care for it as I have since it came to me."

Lylia says, "And of course, it -- and I -- are ever at the disposal of the Basilica."

'''Thagoria says, "I have to bring this to the attention of the Basilican Sorcerer. I am not part of the same branch of things as the Palestra, whatever was involved with her work is beyond my rank."'''

Thrassus says, "Along with the rest of the Spire."

'''Thagoria says, "The fact that there are Ithzir invading here, and not from anywhere we expect, in itself should raise concern in the Basilica."'''

Perigourd says, "And elsewhere."

Thrassus asks, "Are we sure those things are true Ithzir?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Raelee says, "No."

Thrassus says, "I mean, they almost act as a hive mind at times."

Lylia says, "If they take Ithzir form, then they have been near Ithzir to replicate them."

'''Thagoria says, "But then this matter of a possibly twisted Palestra Blade in addition. I do not know what they will decide to do."'''

Lylia quietly says, "I have spent sleepless nights wondering that as well. She is a venerable Blade, not of the Mahkra Academy."

Telekin asks, "Would they search for her?"

Nairdin heartily says, "Perhaps they are both ithzir and not ithzir. shadows of the beings. many other things came from there before."

Telekin says, "Use the soulstone, open a gate and form a search party."

Lylia diplomatically says, "Who are, of course, remarkable in their own right -- but they have had years, not centuries, to their name."

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "A significant risk."

'''Thagoria says, "It is a security liability for us, in multiple ways, for a Palestra Blade to be compromised in that fashion."'''

Speaking heartily to Telekin, Nairdin says, "We tried that about a decade ago at ebon gate. didn't turn out well."

Speaking to Telekin, Lylia says, "They would need to find her, yes."

Speaking to Perigourd, Telekin asks, "Because of what could come through?"

Speaking to Telekin, Perigourd says, "Indeed, and because not all portals opened are so easily closed."

Nairdin heartily says, "Going into random portals is not a good idea. it can change things in both places."

Tebon says, "I recall a time where we did sumthin' similar in usin' gateways ta search fer things, an' endin' up fighting a really nasty oculoth."

'''Thagoria says, "This is a very dangerous valence we speak of. It is not the kind we would ordinarily visit, and in fact, it has historically been very difficult to access."'''

'''Thagoria says, "That must be why she resorted to an Ur-Daemon relic."'''

Thrassus says, "It's rather hostile to life as we know it."

'''Thagoria says, "The shadows seem to be breaking up for now."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "Pretty sure its going to be calm for now at least."

Telekin says, "We did well then."

Missoni murmurs, "They will return, I am sure."

'''The shadows of Lake Eonak begin to slowly dry up. Visibly shrinking...

The shadows of Lake Eonak shrink further and further...'''

Lylia admits, "I am not entirely sure. It was Aralyte's; I recognized it on her. But whether it was something that she wore as a talisman, as some sort of phylactery, or something else, I am not certain -- and I never got to ask."

Pukk says, "Nice! And we didn't even have to sacrifice Lylia...I mean...see what Lylia...oh nevermind...I stand by the first part."

'''Thagoria says, "The threat seems to have halted."'''

Speaking to Thagoria, Telekin asks, "Will you question your peers about finding her?"

Speaking to Thagoria, Lylia says, "Thank you for your time. Of course I know the Basilica sees much, but it is a great relief to see evidence of this."

Thagoria says, "I will raise the matter with my superior, the Arch Chancellor of the Clerisy."

Missoni nods approvingly.

'''Thagoria says, "That is a high enough level to rattle loose anything."'''

'''Thagoria scratches her hands through her hair with some frustration and exhales slowly.'''

'''Thagoria says, "Unless there is something else I should know to report to the Basilica, I will return to New Ta'Faendryl, I will probably speak to the High Magus on duty first as he is in charge of monitoring the wards on the
veils."'''

Tebon says, "'Welp, all we kin do here, is jus' keep tryin' ta protect tha innocents."

Thrassus says, "You might also want to let them know that this isn't the first time the Ithzir have attacked here."

Lylia adds, "And about Rodnay."

'''Thagoria asks, "They have attacked here before?"'''

Tebon says, "Mebbe urge 'em a lil bit."

Speaking to Thagoria, Missoni says, "The shadows did also speak, twice, previously. In Ithzir."

Thrassus says, "There's a pyramid sunken in the Bay, even."

'''Thagoria asks, "These Ithzir or different ones?"'''

Thrassus says, "Different ones."

'''Thagoria asks, "One of their pyramids is in Darkstone Bay?"'''

Lylia says, "The part-Ithzir hybrid pupating atop the Reach. Oh yes, and that Ithzir pyramid. I believe there is an obelisk sunk in the sands, too."

Speaking quietly to Thrassus, Raelee says, "I do want to raise that. I have for years."

Tebon says, "Ithzir, shadows, shadows that change inta mirror images of folks an' then attack us."

Lylia reluctantly admits, "When you say it all together like this, it sounds like quite a lot."

Leafiara says, "This area plays host to many oddities."

Perigourd says, "One might consider how the storm was affected by the Talon as well, when we used the storm above to transport Darkstone Keep."

'''Thagoria says, "The Ithzir feed on mana and there is a cambion pupating inside this mountain upon all of that..."'''

Lylia simply says, "Yes."

Thrassus says, "That's just some of the more recent things, yes."

'''Thagoria says, "And there is one of their pyramid siege engines, which they use as anchors, or beacons, for securing access to worlds, under the Darkstone Bay."'''

Soulheaven quietly says, "When you say it like that..."

Lylia says, "It is one of the reasons I stay here; it is certainly not for the weather. We get storms rolling in off the Bay all the time."

Amathea melodically asks, "Have the shadowy ones been seen around the pyramid as of late?"

Lylia says, "Someone must keep watch."

'''Thagoria says, "And Ithzir from one of the other valences invaded here, it sounds like because of this mountain thinning the veil and crossing worlds."'''

Speaking to Amathea, Perigourd says, "If they have, it is hard to say as it's at the bottom of the bay."

'''Thagoria asks, "What Ithzir world was it?"'''

Speaking to Amathea, Lylia says, "Not that I have seen; they do not seem to venture toward the Black Sands in particular."

Xorus says, "Kol Tar'sken."

Thrassus says, "At least a few of us have sent reports of these things over the years."

Thrassus says, "I can only assume whoever reviewed them mistook them for wild tales."

'''Thagoria says, "That is one of the Ithzir worlds the Basilica would have noticed. They must have monitored the situation without intervening."'''

'''Thagoria says, "Again. Way beyond my rank and role in the Basilica."'''

'''Thagoria says, "I work with the sorcerer guilds."'''

Perigourd asks, "Why wouldn't they intervene if they knew?"

Lylia agrees, "Far beyond my scope as well. But I do write letters."

Speaking to Perigourd, Thagoria says, "Politics, if I had to guess."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "Sometimes it is best to observe."

Perigourd says, "A warning would have been nice."

Leafiara says, "They don't owe any such thing."

'''Thagoria says, "From what some of you said, a Turamzzyrian fortress got pulled into that Ithzir world, in that incident."'''

'''Thagoria says, "It does not take much speculative reach to imagine why they only monitored the situation."'''

'''Thagoria says, "So. I am going back to Ta'Faendryl now to be loud, and I will see what they have to say to me."'''

Thrassus says, "Good luck."

'''Thagoria says, "I think you will all need more luck than myself."'''

Thrassus says, "Maybe mentioning potential Ur-Daemonic forces will get them to wake up."

'''Thagoria flicks her wrist and tears open a rift in the fabric of reality. She steps through and the rift collapses with a flash into a pinpoint of light.'''

Faendryl Enclave

2025-09-20T04:57:12Z

UBERWENCH: /* Current Events */

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]
#Promote Faendryl culture & history
#Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place this year on September 19 - 21; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]], in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

===Assistance===
The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]], in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

===Assistance===
The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

Faendryl Enclave

2025-09-18T09:32:49Z

UBERWENCH: /* Current Events */

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]
#Promote Faendryl culture & history
#Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place this year on September 19 - 21; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

The 2025 Faendryl Symposium calendar is under construction! Look for more events and venues to be added in the weeks to come. Times and dates are subject to change.

Faendryl Enclave

2025-09-18T09:23:14Z

UBERWENCH: /* Current Events */

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]
#Promote Faendryl culture & history
#Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place this year on September 19 - 21; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

The 2025 Faendryl Symposium calendar is under construction! Look for more events and venues to be added in the weeks to come. Times and dates are subject to change.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]], in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]], in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

===Assistance===

Faendryl Enclave

2025-09-18T09:17:57Z

UBERWENCH: /* Current Events */

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]
#Promote Faendryl culture & history
#Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place this year on September 19 - 21; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

The 2025 Faendryl Symposium calendar is under construction! Look for more events and venues to be added in the weeks to come. Times and dates are subject to change.

===Assistance===
The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

Faendryl Enclave

2025-08-05T03:15:27Z

UBERWENCH:

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]
#Promote Faendryl culture & history
#Provide training for typical Faendryl skills (OOC, provide a platform for RP-related interactions)
#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place this year on September 19 - 21; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

The 2025 Faendryl Symposium calendar is under construction! Look for more events and venues to be added in the weeks to come. Times and dates are subject to change.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community for a cohesive voice that was not aligned with existing deities or groups. To provide a more positive, coherent view of the culture, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us. Over time, the Enclave has evolved to help shape Faendryl culture in the popular imagination and provide a clearer view of it from our perspective, with an eye to preserving existing lore as we expand on it without overwriting it.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]], in the Lounge (;go2 24046). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it at the time). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join, you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

==The Ninefold Tale of Revelia==

'''I.''' Revelia is a faraway land where the denizens honor their beloved patron [[Cholen]], and the first of his servants [[Tilamaire]], as well as his brother [[Jastev]] throughout the year.

'''II.''' Cholen and Tilamaire first observed that there were corners of Elanith that lacked for song and revelry, and set out to bring their light to these dark places.

'''III.''' To bring their idea to the mortal realm, they prevailed upon Cholen’s brother Jastev to reveal their desires to those mortals most able to remedy the need, the people of Revelia.

'''IV.''' For the favor of relaying this revelation to the mortals, Jastev included his own geas to the mortals, that they would not neglect the visual arts as well as those of his kin.

'''V.''' The revelations came to the people of Revelia in nine separate omens, each embodied within a different sphere of the influences of the three Arkati.

'''VI.''' The Firsts of Revelia convened a council to study the omens and discern how best to spread the Arkati’s wishes.

'''VII.''' The nine councilmembers spent nine days in seclusion, the council returned with their decree.

'''VIII.''' Each year, Nine Muses of Revelia were to be selected from among the people to embody the wishes of the Arkati and to spread the love of art, music, dance and all things that bring joy to dark places

'''IX.''' After many years, all of Revelia was lit with joy and now the Nine Muses finally begin to travel the rest of Elanith to bring the favor of the Arkati to the nine corners of the world...

Feel free to take inspiration from the stunning creations shown off at this memorable event, but remember to follow ALTER guidelines!)

==Art==
;A column of rippled glass
:A closer look at the otherwise transparent cylinder reveals veil-like inclusions in the heart of the glass. These shapes distort the light coming through the column, showing areas of increased density. While the hazy forms in the column's interior form no recognizable image to the eyes, they might create a distinct tactile impression to anyone phasing the column.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Union"

;A monochrome triptych
:Composed of three enormous panels, the size of this installation transforms the room and imposes itself upon the viewer's field of vision. Each panel is identical both in size and the impenetrable blackness of deeply layered brushstrokes. Forms are suggested as one examines the lines and swirls of the piece, but nothing definitive becomes apparent.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Dawn"

;An unsettling landscape painting
:Rendered in watercolor and gouache, a lushly overgrown swamp languishes under a misty yellow sky that looks nothing like a sunset. Towering trees festooned with grey beards of moss stand silhouetted against the jaundiced sky, giving the scene a closed-in, oppressive quality. Violet and aquamarine shapes move through the mist, and dark foliage crowds the edges of the canvas. As alien as this landscape is, it also has a surreal and compelling beauty.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Lorae'tyr]]"

;A vibrant canvas
:Painted with vivid realism, you could almost mistake the canvas for a window just barely separating you from the central subject: three ridiculous [[halfling]]s. One plunges a tart into his gaping, rotten-toothed maw. A second wipes jelly-jam from his face with pages torn from a book discarded near his feet. The third has an upside-down timepiece in his hand and a robust mid-section tied up with a sash reading "Mayor."

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Icemule]]"

;A panoramic fresco
:Time has stolen the warmer and more ephemeral hues from this image of a man delivering a speech atop a flight of broad stone steps, casting the scene into a stark chiaroscuro of cold blues and bone white. The central figure commands attention both with his pose and with the slanting light that bathes him. Forced perspective creates a feeling of immense space between the speaker, his rapt crowd, and the pyramidal buildings behind them.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::Yshryth Silvius Faendryl

;An enameled starry disc
:Smooth enamel in rich ultramarine blue covers this broad disc except where pinpoints of silver fleck its glassy surface. Etched lines connect the silver points to form constellations, some of which are still recognizable as their modern counterparts. A central hole in the disc allowed it to be mounted on a clockwork device that set the artificial sky wheeling through seasons at the touch of a lever, but corrosion has stilled the moving metal parts within the disc's alabaster case.

;A colorful wall-sized mosaic
:A smiling bride in scarlet, and her groom in grey, sit at the center of this intricate mosaic. A low table before them holds a feast, but many of the bright fruits are unfamiliar. As each of the attendants is dressed in the colors of a different elven house, the image could as easily be an allegory as a portrait. Stones no larger than grains of rice capture every detail, from the net of gilded chains and gems in the bride's hair to the revelers' brilliant silks.

;A gilt-framed oil painting
:The central figures in this painting are two men and a woman, but the lush garden around them is almost as attention-getting. The woman is disheveled and moon-faced, her stance aggressive and her mouth open in an angry shout. She's trampled some of the garden's blooms already and looks ready to do more damage. Standing opposite her, a Faendryl man in robes holds his runestaff in front of him as if to ward off an incoming attack. A third figure crouches near the woman, gazing up at her worshipfully.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Im[[patience and the Lily]]"

;A miniature encaustic portrait
:Painted in layers of tinted wax on a silvery round of [[lor]] wood, the tiny portrait of an umber-skinned young man in a three-quarter view has the luminous quality of natural skin. The subject's gaze is focused somewhere beyond the gilded frame of the miniature, and his lips are turned up in the faintest of smiles. Even the blackwork trim on his cloak collar has remained sharply detailed. The portrait's obverse side bears an inscription and a fingerprint, but no name.

;A horned basalt bust
:Slightly smaller than life-size, the bust depicts a woman wearing a cap with two curved peaks and a veil. The original sculptor managed to shape hard basalt into something as fluid as silk where the veil draped over the horned cap, but a lesser talent has since removed the statue's original face. Whatever expression she once wore, the woman's face now bears only a vacant stare and pursed lips. The crest at the base of the bust has likewise been defaced to remove identifying details.

;A marble and onyx summoning circle
:The circle's inky surface is made of countless bar-shaped onyx tiles to form a nearly seamless whole. At its center is one perfect marble square no larger than a thumbnail. Marble and carnelian chips set in spiraling bands around the outside of the circle create the illusion of movement that disappears as soon as one stares directly at the circle's edge. An outer band bears an unbroken stream of calligraphy that seems to be formed from a single length of silver wire.

;A marble stand with a gilded manuscript page on it
:A specimen of masterwork calligraphy, the stylized Faendryl script on this page twists and wends around itself to form the image of a bird in flight. The drawing is surrounded by a border of gleaming gold leaf providing a double-framing effect with the geometrically patterned lor encasing the manuscript itself.

;An expansive carved basalt relief
:Spanning the entire wall, the gleaming basalt relief depicts two warring armies in meticulous detail. Thousands of soldiers are caught mid-battle, some already fallen, while others continue to fight. Human forces are clearly outnumbered by elven, their expressions depicting shock and despair as the superior army overwhelms them. In the center, a trio of soldiers fight a losing battle against one of their own kind, the human corpse's actions clearly orchestrated by a Faendryl standing tall in the background.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"The Folly of Impertinence"
:::Laelia Sabinus Faendryl
:::c. 4851

;A marble Palestra statue
:Standing tall and with a pensive expression, the carved Palestra is the size of a giantkin and nearly lifelike in her features. Her mixed uniform of plate armor and flowing cloth is sparsely painted with gold, crimson, and black, allowing the pale grey hue of the marble to show through. Both fabric and cropped hair seem caught by an unseen gale with deep folds painstakingly rendered for the effect. She holds a halberd in one hand at the low ready, and her steady gaze focuses on the opposing statue.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"To Wield Retribution, Castigation, and Grace"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900"

;A marble elven summoner statue
:With wide eyes and an intense gaze, the giantkin-sized statue appears caught mid-summon, his mouth open in an incantation, and his robes and long hair frozen in disarray as if caught by a tempest. One arm is extended upward with curled fingers, while the other is lowered behind him grasping a tightly spiraled stave held level with the ground. Gold, crimson, and black paint accent the statue and provide ornamentation to the carved marble while still allowing for its pale lavender hue to show through.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Drawing of the Rift"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900

;An imposing black and grey painting
:Ten feet wide and eight feet high, the painting envelops the viewer's gaze in darkness. The entire canvas is covered in black with enticing wisps of charcoal grey, demanding close examination to distinguish the subtle details of the haze. The gilded frame is carved all over with cylindrical protrusions reaching outward. A small plaque is fixed to the center bottom.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Shien'tyr]]"

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community. Previously the only organized group of Faendryl were the Ta'Mori and generally associated with Eorgina, Evil, and/or generally undesirable to the public in general. To provide an alternative and to combat an overall negative view of the culture by others, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]] (;go2 23520). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

===Assistance===
The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community. Previously the only organized group of Faendryl were the Ta'Mori and generally associated with Eorgina, Evil, and/or generally undesirable to the public in general. To provide an alternative and to combat an overall negative view of the culture by others, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]] (;go2 23520). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

UBERWENCH: /* Current Events */

'''The Faendryl Enclave''' is a [[Meeting Hall Organization]] located in the environs of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in Aillidh Brae. It is an organization formed for the following goals:
#Provide a refuge for [[Faendryl]]

#Act as an outreach to local governments to foster improved relations
__NOTOC__

==Current Events==

We host recurring "Faendryl Rules of Engagement" nights on the fourth Friday of each month or as listed on the official calendar and on TownCriers channels. The games change, but regular offerings include Killer Darts and a Werewolf-style game called "Nalfein Infiltrators."

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place in the late summer or early fall; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community. Previously the only organized group of Faendryl were the Ta'Mori and generally associated with Eorgina, Evil, and/or generally undesirable to the public in general. To provide an alternative and to combat an overall negative view of the culture by others, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]] (;go2 23520). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

Our major calendar events include the annual [[Faendryl Symposium]], which typically takes place in the late summer or early fall; our annual carnival masquerade ball, which usually falls in late February or early March; and multi-MHO events such as [[Revelia Carnivale]], which may also include the Enclave.

==Information==
The Faendryl Enclave was founded in the month of Fashanos/February, 2010 and remains one of the more active organizations in the Wehnimer's Landing regon, both socially and politically. The Enclave was created with the intention of filling a need in the Faendryl community. Previously the only organized group of Faendryl were the Ta'Mori and generally associated with Eorgina, Evil, and/or generally undesirable to the public in general. To provide an alternative and to combat an overall negative view of the culture by others, the group was founded by Japhrimel and Queleri, soon joined by others, some to stay and some to leave us.

===Meetings===
The Faendryl Enclave has a monthly meeting set on the first Monday of each month at 9:30pm Eastern. Meetings are held at our structure, [[The Alabaster Spire]] (;go2 23520). Meetings are open to the public, particularly interested Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, unless otherwise specified.

===The Alabaster Spire===
[[The Alabaster Spire]] is the seat of the Faendryl Enclave. It is located outside of Wehnimer's Landing at Aillidh Brae, Vale, to ensure privacy and safety. The Spire's courtyard, garden, and ground floor are open to the public. Upstairs levels are typically reserved for members, although during the annual Symposium, much of the grounds are open to visitors. This is so that any Faendryl may come make use of the grounds if they so desire. Members and other Faendryl are welcome and encouraged to use the grounds as much as they wish to. If anyone would like to organize an event or have something occur on the grounds, please let an Officer know if you require any assistance in doing so, such as a food cart or drinks.

===Membership===
Enclave membership is open to Faendryl and Half-Faendryl, though there is a single token Halfling member (No one expected a non-Faendryl to actually try to join, so there weren't set rules against it). To join the Enclave, those interested should attempt to attend meetings and/or events when possible. Please inform any Officers you meet that you would like to join. In order to join you must get the approval of at least two Officers, usually in the form of a semi-formal interview. The best way to know if you would like to be a member is to get to know our members, so we welcome you to attend events and learn more about who we are.

===Assistance===
The Enclave exists, in part, to provide assistance to Faendryl in need. One way we seek to do this is to help younger/newer Faendryl with equipment. If you are or know of a Faendryl or Half-Faendryl in need of decent 4x gear, please let an Officer know.

We have had numerous events over the years. Some events are annual or have repeated, some have not. Event descriptions and logs, as available, will be added to this section.

'''House Brigatta''' is a Great House in the outpost town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], and a member of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]] (CHE). It was founded by Lady Taarna (after whom Taarna Road is named), as well as Lords Zinderin and Sterling, and was built in the year 5091. Brigatta celebrated its 30th anniversary in the year 5121.

House Brigatta is one of the oldest Houses in [[Elanith]], located in the center of Wehnimer's Landing (three blocks due north of the infamous cul-de-sac) at the end of Lyon Way. The House has annexes in all major towns and cities. It is open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members.

Many members of House Brigatta speak of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family within the House - rather than that of a typical club or organization.

Be sure to say hello to "Fred" the faithful gatekeeper.

==How to Join==

Tours and inductions are held by appointment; please ask any member or officer if you would like a tour.
*must be level 5
*must not belong to any other House
*must pay an Initiation Fee: bring 5,000 coins and a note for 15,000 silvers

Our officers are also available on Discord and can be reached in official channels or via direct message.

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for bylaws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''<i>House Colors:</i>''' White and blue: white for purity, truth, and honesty; blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''<i>House Coat-of-Arms:</i>''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''<i>House Motto:</i>''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''<i>House Religion:</i>''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing, or align themselves with any society.

'''<i>Races and Professions:</i>''' All races, cultures, and professions are welcome.

==Events==
Look for upcoming announced events such as December 2023's Glacial Gala, Brigatta barbecues, and summer's [[Revelia Carnivale]]. We often participate in multi-House and MHO events and are happy to offer our game room or amphitheater to help make others' events more special.

House tours are available by asking our officers or members for a look around, and inductions are by appointment.

==Behind the Scenes==
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away. The area is a node and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brigatta.png#file]]

Sometime on either side of 2012, a kitchen was added (accessed via the corridor off the Common Room), along with a Game Room (west of the Common Room), and the garden was reduced to be more functional.

On December 12, 2019, a second story was added to House Brigatta. The stairway just off the entry leads up to a hallway with a copper panel (now leading to the observatory and the workshop), a pale haon door leads to our library, and a dark mistwood door braced with hammered black iron fittings leads to a bedroom.

Builders, painters, and other workers finished an amphitheater (for public use) and a summoning chamber, as well as renovations completed in the guest bedroom (on the main floor). The outside of the House got a fresh coat of daub and "Fred" sports a new uniform — as of February 3, 2023.

==Art==
;A column of rippled glass
:A closer look at the otherwise transparent cylinder reveals veil-like inclusions in the heart of the glass. These shapes distort the light coming through the column, showing areas of increased density. While the hazy forms in the column's interior form no recognizable image to the eyes, they might create a distinct tactile impression to anyone phasing the column.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Union"

;A monochrome triptych
:Composed of three enormous panels, the size of this installation transforms the room and imposes itself upon the viewer's field of vision. Each panel is identical both in size and the impenetrable blackness of deeply layered brushstrokes. Forms are suggested as one examines the lines and swirls of the piece, but nothing definitive becomes apparent.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Dawn"

;An unsettling landscape painting
:Rendered in watercolor and gouache, a lushly overgrown swamp languishes under a misty yellow sky that looks nothing like a sunset. Towering trees festooned with grey beards of moss stand silhouetted against the jaundiced sky, giving the scene a closed-in, oppressive quality. Violet and aquamarine shapes move through the mist, and dark foliage crowds the edges of the canvas. As alien as this landscape is, it also has a surreal and compelling beauty.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Lorae'tyr]]"

;A vibrant canvas
:Painted with vivid realism, you could almost mistake the canvas for a window just barely separating you from the central subject: three ridiculous [[halfling]]s. One plunges a tart into his gaping, rotten-toothed maw. A second wipes jelly-jam from his face with pages torn from a book discarded near his feet. The third has an upside-down timepiece in his hand and a robust mid-section tied up with a sash reading "Mayor."

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Icemule]]"

;A panoramic fresco
:Time has stolen the warmer and more ephemeral hues from this image of a man delivering a speech atop a flight of broad stone steps, casting the scene into a stark chiaroscuro of cold blues and bone white. The central figure commands attention both with his pose and with the slanting light that bathes him. Forced perspective creates a feeling of immense space between the speaker, his rapt crowd, and the pyramidal buildings behind them.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::Yshryth Silvius Faendryl

;An enameled starry disc
:Smooth enamel in rich ultramarine blue covers this broad disc except where pinpoints of silver fleck its glassy surface. Etched lines connect the silver points to form constellations, some of which are still recognizable as their modern counterparts. A central hole in the disc allowed it to be mounted on a clockwork device that set the artificial sky wheeling through seasons at the touch of a lever, but corrosion has stilled the moving metal parts within the disc's alabaster case.

;A colorful wall-sized mosaic
:A smiling bride in scarlet, and her groom in grey, sit at the center of this intricate mosaic. A low table before them holds a feast, but many of the bright fruits are unfamiliar. As each of the attendants is dressed in the colors of a different elven house, the image could as easily be an allegory as a portrait. Stones no larger than grains of rice capture every detail, from the net of gilded chains and gems in the bride's hair to the revelers' brilliant silks.

;A gilt-framed oil painting
:The central figures in this painting are two men and a woman, but the lush garden around them is almost as attention-getting. The woman is disheveled and moon-faced, her stance aggressive and her mouth open in an angry shout. She's trampled some of the garden's blooms already and looks ready to do more damage. Standing opposite her, a Faendryl man in robes holds his runestaff in front of him as if to ward off an incoming attack. A third figure crouches near the woman, gazing up at her worshipfully.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Im[[patience and the Lily]]"

;A miniature encaustic portrait
:Painted in layers of tinted wax on a silvery round of [[lor]] wood, the tiny portrait of an umber-skinned young man in a three-quarter view has the luminous quality of natural skin. The subject's gaze is focused somewhere beyond the gilded frame of the miniature, and his lips are turned up in the faintest of smiles. Even the blackwork trim on his cloak collar has remained sharply detailed. The portrait's obverse side bears an inscription and a fingerprint, but no name.

;A horned basalt bust
:Slightly smaller than life-size, the bust depicts a woman wearing a cap with two curved peaks and a veil. The original sculptor managed to shape hard basalt into something as fluid as silk where the veil draped over the horned cap, but a lesser talent has since removed the statue's original face. Whatever expression she once wore, the woman's face now bears only a vacant stare and pursed lips. The crest at the base of the bust has likewise been defaced to remove identifying details.

;A marble and onyx summoning circle
:The circle's inky surface is made of countless bar-shaped onyx tiles to form a nearly seamless whole. At its center is one perfect marble square no larger than a thumbnail. Marble and carnelian chips set in spiraling bands around the outside of the circle create the illusion of movement that disappears as soon as one stares directly at the circle's edge. An outer band bears an unbroken stream of calligraphy that seems to be formed from a single length of silver wire.

;A marble stand with a gilded manuscript page on it
:A specimen of masterwork calligraphy, the stylized Faendryl script on this page twists and wends around itself to form the image of a bird in flight. The drawing is surrounded by a border of gleaming gold leaf providing a double-framing effect with the geometrically patterned lor encasing the manuscript itself.

;An expansive carved basalt relief
:Spanning the entire wall, the gleaming basalt relief depicts two warring armies in meticulous detail. Thousands of soldiers are caught mid-battle, some already fallen, while others continue to fight. Human forces are clearly outnumbered by elven, their expressions depicting shock and despair as the superior army overwhelms them. In the center, a trio of soldiers fight a losing battle against one of their own kind, the human corpse's actions clearly orchestrated by a Faendryl standing tall in the background.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"The Folly of Impertinence"
:::Laelia Sabinus Faendryl
:::c. 4851

;A marble Palestra statue
:Standing tall and with a pensive expression, the carved Palestra is the size of a giantkin and nearly lifelike in her features. Her mixed uniform of plate armor and flowing cloth is sparsely painted with gold, crimson, and black, allowing the pale grey hue of the marble to show through. Both fabric and cropped hair seem caught by an unseen gale with deep folds painstakingly rendered for the effect. She holds a halberd in one hand at the low ready, and her steady gaze focuses on the opposing statue.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"To Wield Retribution, Castigation, and Grace"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900"

;A marble elven summoner statue
:With wide eyes and an intense gaze, the giantkin-sized statue appears caught mid-summon, his mouth open in an incantation, and his robes and long hair frozen in disarray as if caught by a tempest. One arm is extended upward with curled fingers, while the other is lowered behind him grasping a tightly spiraled stave held level with the ground. Gold, crimson, and black paint accent the statue and provide ornamentation to the carved marble while still allowing for its pale lavender hue to show through.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Drawing of the Rift"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900

;An imposing black and grey painting
:Ten feet wide and eight feet high, the painting envelops the viewer's gaze in darkness. The entire canvas is covered in black with enticing wisps of charcoal grey, demanding close examination to distinguish the subtle details of the haze. The gilded frame is carved all over with cylindrical protrusions reaching outward. A small plaque is fixed to the center bottom.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Shien'tyr]]"

==Art==
;A column of rippled glass
:A closer look at the otherwise transparent cylinder reveals veil-like inclusions in the heart of the glass. These shapes distort the light coming through the column, showing areas of increased density. While the hazy forms in the column's interior form no recognizable image to the eyes, they might create a distinct tactile impression to anyone phasing the column.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Union"

;A monochrome triptych
:Composed of three enormous panels, the size of this installation transforms the room and imposes itself upon the viewer's field of vision. Each panel is identical both in size and the impenetrable blackness of deeply layered brushstrokes. Forms are suggested as one examines the lines and swirls of the piece, but nothing definitive becomes apparent.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Dawn"

;An unsettling landscape painting
:Rendered in watercolor and gouache, a lushly overgrown swamp languishes under a misty yellow sky that looks nothing like a sunset. Towering trees festooned with grey beards of moss stand silhouetted against the jaundiced sky, giving the scene a closed-in, oppressive quality. Violet and aquamarine shapes move through the mist, and dark foliage crowds the edges of the canvas. As alien as this landscape is, it also has a surreal and compelling beauty.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Lorae'tyr]]"

;A vibrant canvas
:Painted with vivid realism, you could almost mistake the canvas for a window just barely separating you from the central subject: three ridiculous [[halfling]]s. One plunges a tart into his gaping, rotten-toothed maw. A second wipes jelly-jam from his face with pages torn from a book discarded near his feet. The third has an upside-down timepiece in his hand and a robust mid-section tied up with a sash reading "Mayor."

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Icemule]]"

;A panoramic fresco
:Time has stolen the warmer and more ephemeral hues from this image of a man delivering a speech atop a flight of broad stone steps, casting the scene into a stark chiaroscuro of cold blues and bone white. The central figure commands attention both with his pose and with the slanting light that bathes him. Forced perspective creates a feeling of immense space between the speaker, his rapt crowd, and the pyramidal buildings behind them.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::Yshryth Silvius Faendryl

;An enameled starry disc
:Smooth enamel in rich ultramarine blue covers this broad disc except where pinpoints of silver fleck its glassy surface. Etched lines connect the silver points to form constellations, some of which are still recognizable as their modern counterparts. A central hole in the disc allowed it to be mounted on a clockwork device that set the artificial sky wheeling through seasons at the touch of a lever, but corrosion has stilled the moving metal parts within the disc's alabaster case.

;A colorful wall-sized mosaic
:A smiling bride in scarlet, and her groom in grey, sit at the center of this intricate mosaic. A low table before them holds a feast, but many of the bright fruits are unfamiliar. As each of the attendants is dressed in the colors of a different elven house, the image could as easily be an allegory as a portrait. Stones no larger than grains of rice capture every detail, from the net of gilded chains and gems in the bride's hair to the revelers' brilliant silks.

;A gilt-framed oil painting
:The central figures in this painting are two men and a woman, but the lush garden around them is almost as attention-getting. The woman is disheveled and moon-faced, her stance aggressive and her mouth open in an angry shout. She's trampled some of the garden's blooms already and looks ready to do more damage. Standing opposite her, a Faendryl man in robes holds his runestaff in front of him as if to ward off an incoming attack. A third figure crouches near the woman, gazing up at her worshipfully.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Im[[patience and the Lily]]"

;A miniature encaustic portrait
:Painted in layers of tinted wax on a silvery round of [[lor]] wood, the tiny portrait of an umber-skinned young man in a three-quarter view has the luminous quality of natural skin. The subject's gaze is focused somewhere beyond the gilded frame of the miniature, and his lips are turned up in the faintest of smiles. Even the blackwork trim on his cloak collar has remained sharply detailed. The portrait's obverse side bears an inscription and a fingerprint, but no name.

;A horned basalt bust
:Slightly smaller than life-size, the bust depicts a woman wearing a cap with two curved peaks and a veil. The original sculptor managed to shape hard basalt into something as fluid as silk where the veil draped over the horned cap, but a lesser talent has since removed the statue's original face. Whatever expression she once wore, the woman's face now bears only a vacant stare and pursed lips. The crest at the base of the bust has likewise been defaced to remove identifying details.

;A marble and onyx summoning circle
:The circle's inky surface is made of countless bar-shaped onyx tiles to form a nearly seamless whole. At its center is one perfect marble square no larger than a thumbnail. Marble and carnelian chips set in spiraling bands around the outside of the circle create the illusion of movement that disappears as soon as one stares directly at the circle's edge. An outer band bears an unbroken stream of calligraphy that seems to be formed from a single length of silver wire.

;A marble stand with a gilded manuscript page on it
:A specimen of masterwork calligraphy, the stylized Faendryl script on this page twists and wends around itself to form the image of a bird in flight. The drawing is surrounded by a border of gleaming gold leaf providing a double-framing effect with the geometrically patterned lor encasing the manuscript itself.

;An expansive carved basalt relief
:Spanning the entire wall, the gleaming basalt relief depicts two warring armies in meticulous detail. Thousands of soldiers are caught mid-battle, some already fallen, while others continue to fight. Human forces are clearly outnumbered by elven, their expressions depicting shock and despair as the superior army overwhelms them. In the center, a trio of soldiers fight a losing battle against one of their own kind, the human corpse's actions clearly orchestrated by a Faendryl standing tall in the background.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"The Folly of Impertinence"
:::Laelia Sabinus Faendryl
:::c. 4851

;A marble Palestra statue
:Standing tall and with a pensive expression, the carved Palestra is the size of a giantkin and nearly lifelike in her features. Her mixed uniform of plate armor and flowing cloth is sparsely painted with gold, crimson, and black, allowing the pale grey hue of the marble to show through. Both fabric and cropped hair seem caught by an unseen gale with deep folds painstakingly rendered for the effect. She holds a halberd in one hand at the low ready, and her steady gaze focuses on the opposing statue.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"To Wield Retribution, Castigation, and Grace"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900"

;A marble elven summoner statue
:With wide eyes and an intense gaze, the giantkin-sized statue appears caught mid-summon, his mouth open in an incantation, and his robes and long hair frozen in disarray as if caught by a tempest. One arm is extended upward with curled fingers, while the other is lowered behind him grasping a tightly spiraled stave held level with the ground. Gold, crimson, and black paint accent the statue and provide ornamentation to the carved marble while still allowing for its pale lavender hue to show through.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"Drawing of the Rift"
:::Gaius Cassian Faendryl
:::c. 3900

;An imposing black and grey painting
:Ten feet wide and eight feet high, the painting envelops the viewer's gaze in darkness. The entire canvas is covered in black with enticing wisps of charcoal grey, demanding close examination to distinguish the subtle details of the haze. The gilded frame is carved all over with cylindrical protrusions reaching outward. A small plaque is fixed to the center bottom.

:In the Common language, it reads:
:::"[[Shien'tyr]]"

'''House Brigatta''' is a Great House in the outpost town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], and a member of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]] (CHE). It was founded by Lady Taarna (after whom Taarna Road is named), as well as Lords Zinderin and Sterling, and was built in the year 5091. Brigatta celebrated its 30th anniversary in the year 5121.

House Brigatta is one of the oldest Houses in [[Elanith]], located in the center of Wehnimer's Landing (three blocks due north of the infamous cul-de-sac) at the end of Lyon Way. The House has annexes in all major towns and cities. It is open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members.

Many members of House Brigatta speak of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family within the House - rather than that of a typical club or organization.

Be sure to say hello to "Fred" the faithful gatekeeper.

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for bylaws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''<i>House Colors:</i>''' White and blue: white for purity, truth, and honesty; blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''<i>House Coat-of-Arms:</i>''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''<i>House Motto:</i>''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''<i>House Religion:</i>''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing, or align themselves with any society.

'''<i>Races and Professions:</i>''' All races, cultures, and professions are welcome.

==Events==
Look for upcoming announced events such as December 2023's Glacial Gala, Brigatta barbecues, and summer's [[Revelia Carnivale]]. We often participate in multi-House and MHO events and are happy to offer our game room or amphitheater to help make others' events more special.

House tours are available by asking our officers or members for a look around, and inductions are by appointment.

==Behind the Scenes==
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away. The area is a node and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brigatta.png#file]]

Sometime on either side of 2012, a kitchen was added (accessed via the corridor off the Common Room), along with a Game Room (west of the Common Room), and the garden was reduced to be more functional.

On December 12, 2019, a second story was added to House Brigatta. The stairway just off the entry leads up to a hallway with a copper panel (now leading to the observatory and the workshop), a pale haon door leads to our library, and a dark mistwood door braced with hammered black iron fittings leads to a bedroom.

Builders, painters, and other workers finished an amphitheater (for public use) and a summoning chamber, as well as renovations completed in the guest bedroom (on the main floor). The outside of the House got a fresh coat of daub and "Fred" sports a new uniform — as of February 3, 2023.

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for bylaws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''<i>House Colors:</i>''' White and blue: white for purity, truth, and honesty; blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''<i>House Coat-of-Arms:</i>''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''<i>House Motto:</i>''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''<i>House Religion:</i>''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing, or align themselves with any society.

'''<i>Races and Professions:</i>''' All races, cultures, and professions are welcome.

==Events==
Look for upcoming announced events such as December 2023's Glacial Gala, Brigatta barbecues, and summer's [[Revelia Carnivale]]. We often participate in multi-House and MHO events and are happy to offer our game room or amphitheater to help make others' events more special.

House tours are available by asking our officers or members for a look around, and inductions are by appointment.

==Behind the Scenes==
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away. The area is a node and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brigatta.png#file]]

Sometime on either side of 2012, a kitchen was added (accessed via the corridor off the Common Room), along with a Game Room (west of the Common Room), and the garden was reduced to be more functional.

On December 12, 2019, a second story was added to House Brigatta. The stairway just off the entry leads up to a hallway with a copper panel (now leading to the observatory and the workshop), a pale haon door leads to our library, and a dark mistwood door braced with hammered black iron fittings leads to a bedroom.

Builders, painters, and other workers finished an amphitheater (for public use) and a summoning chamber, as well as renovations completed in the guest bedroom (on the main floor). The outside of the House got a fresh coat of daub and "Fred" sports a new uniform — as of February 3, 2023.

'''House Brigatta''' is a Great House in the outpost town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], and a member of the [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia]] (CHE). It was founded by Lady Taarna (after whom Taarna Road is named), as well as Lords Zinderin and Sterling, and was built in the year 5091. Brigatta celebrated its 30th anniversary in the year 5121.

House Brigatta is one of the oldest Houses in [[Elanith]], located in the center of Wehnimer's Landing (three blocks due north of the infamous cul-de-sac) at the end of Lyon Way. The House has annexes in all major towns and cities. It is open to all races and professions, with membership being extended by personal invitations by existing members.

Many members of House Brigatta speak of a level of camaraderie similar to an extended family within the House - rather than that of a typical club or organization.

Be sure to say hello to "Fred" the faithful gatekeeper.

Tours and inductions are held by appointment.

==Mission Statement==
Brigatta always has been, and will continue to be... just a home. A cozy place to relax among friends and family. We have no political agenda nor will we impose any upon our families. We will not discriminate against any of our families by way of race, gender, profession, or alignment. Brigatta has no aspirations to become the largest or most powerful house in the landing. To become the largest by means of structure or residents would mean housemates could lose themselves within our walls and the closeness of family and camaraderie would be lost. To become the most powerful would put burdens of political agendas and structure upon us which we do not want.

We are not an institution or a club, hence we have no need for bylaws. We are a simply a home, and as such it is only expected that housemates treat one another with respect and kindness. Title, age, wealth nor power shall give any Brigattan superiority over another of our house while residing in Brigatta. Nor shall the aforementioned command another's friendship or respect.

'''<i>House Colors:</i>''' White and blue: white for purity, truth, and honesty; blue for loyalty and inner strength.

'''<i>House Coat-of-Arms:</i>''' A staff crossing a sword with the image of a unicorn's head behind them and stars sparkling in the background. The sword represents those professions that live by the sword. The staff represents those professions that live for life. The stars represent those professions that live by magic. The unicorn represents power, change and growth. (Arms concept by Lord Quiet Pheonix)

'''<i>House Motto:</i>''' Amici Per Aevum, which translates to "friends through time," or "friends throughout eternity."

'''<i>House Religion:</i>''' Members of House Brigatta may worship any deity of their choosing, or align themselves with any society.

'''<i>Races and Professions:</i>''' All races, cultures, and professions are welcome.

==Events==
No regular events are scheduled at this time.
House tours and inductions are by appointment.

==Behind the Scenes==
On October 28, 2009, the House opened its Memorial Garden, a public space near the front entrance with a plaque commemorating those House members who have passed away. The area is a node and contains a trash receptacle as well, making it an ideal place for members and non-members to meet.[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brigatta.png#file]]

Sometime on either side of 2012, a kitchen was added (accessed via the corridor off the Common Room), along with a Game Room (west of the Common Room), and the garden was reduced to be more functional.

On December 12, 2019, a second story was added to House Brigatta. The stairway just off the entry leads up to a hallway with a copper panel (now leading to the observatory and the workshop), a pale haon door leads to our library, and a dark mistwood door braced with hammered black iron fittings leads to a bedroom.

Builders, painters, and other workers finished an amphitheater (for public use) and a summoning chamber, as well as renovations completed in the guest bedroom (on the main floor). The outside of the House got a fresh coat of daub and "Fred" sports a new uniform — as of February 3, 2023.
