Yesterday saw the Floating Portal event, one that was always draining and took a full day of rest to simply try to feel normal again, though thrilling it was also... terrifying in its own right. A meeting of sorts had been held just after at the Inn where many were asked a simplistic question from the Empire. Will you go on an adventure?
Alright, it wasn't so simplistic as all that. Those that volunteer will be boarding the Warship with the floating portal upon it, a second Warship will be coming along for supplies, Mephos and Jhore and for added protection and perhaps as those last night heard, it may be needed.
Myths and Legends were always a treat to come upon, it was preparing that wasn't the treat. But these particular myths were of great interest to those within the Palace. It was the Emperors wish the Southern tip be explored fully, what with the resurgence of the Amahil into the Empire, the stories that begun following them around and the research of it all, everything was possible. An ancient abandoned city? That was worth exploring. Left to the elements, they had old ruins seen by their own scouting party to know there was definitely something there. It wasn't just the city but what was within it and around it that was more of interest. A Tome of Angles... No... not angels..... Angles. The very word had intrigued and plenty of time had been taken to push past myth and see if perhaps its very existence was ingrained in any truth. And perhaps it was. That was more then enough for anyone but there were also Maps, maps to mines that would prove most valuable to the Empire and the brief descriptions of Pheonix Stones which indeed were very valuable to the Empire. They wouldn't have to go trading with the Far East continent if they could begin mining their own.
An old place like that probably held more valuable information but first everyone must get past the armada of Pirate ships that was spotted sitting on the very coast they needed to land on. Yes, they could have gone by land but that would have taken far longer and the trek back? With valuables of that nature? Quite dangerous indeed.
Unfortunately they knew very little more then was told. They had a near exact spot of where all were to look but not exactly, how to get there. So really... Do you want to go on an adventure?
Lady Dias will be your leader with the aide of the mage, Infernis and Lord Archaon. Such things known should make you feel better yes? And of course, the Empire wouldn't ask you to risk your life without being paid for such dangers and it is, a hefty sum in todays values.
OOC NOTE:
Flyer's were put up along town stores, the Inn, Baths, Healing House and the roads along forest to Thallis Port where you will be leaving from, This Coming Friday 6PM Central Time Zone, November 9th. Healers, Priests/ess, Rangers, Mist Raiders are a must have, but if you swing a sword and are simply good at cleaving things in two? You are welcome. If you sling spells? You are most welcome. This is a World changing Event and these don't come around all that often so take the opportunity to go down in history, you won't be disappointed..
Death Possible? Yes.. if you wish to die. Dice? I rarely use them, I prefer a narrative of Free Form. There may be times you'll be asked to do alphabetical order for posting but not all that often. The level of your character? Will not matter in the least. Have a new lvl 1 you wish to bring along? Bring it. This is not a closed event, if you come to the first two, and can't make the next one but want to join the next following? No problem, we will just shank the quest to make it seem you were always there. This will take a long while, every quest day will be on Friday unless announced differently.
