The Republic Group Session I Report

General Summary

Illuamor, a Celestial Fae researcher, is summoned by the God of Light, Amarus, into his golden palace that exists within the Celestial Plane. There, Amarus orders Illuamor to find the others he has chosen to help him find the ten pieces of the Crown of Truth, a magical artifact created by the gods that can charm anyone into submission if it was made whole once more. Amarus wants to find the pieces before Soren, the God of the Dead, or the Western Elysian Emperor, Titus Cicero. After giving Illuamor a very short rundown on what to do, Amarus sends him away through a portal.

Illuamor meets Inu, the first of the adventurers chosen by the God of Light, Amarus, to assist him in finding the ten pieces of the Crown of Truth. Inu reveals herself only after Illuamor stumbles for an hour through the Forests of the Ancients on the island of Kagawa, part of the Lolos Republic. Inu agrees to help him on his quest and calls her dragon friend, Shirakawa, to fly them to the city of Kagi.

Illuamor and Inu arrive in Kagi, the capital of Nishi Province on Kagawa island. There, the two wander around the market district, where Illuamor buys a a magical pot. They also find a strange vendor called "Inconspicuious Vegetable Seller" that is run by a young man named Syn and his three companions. However, it is obvious that Syn has no idea how much vegetables cost when Illuamor goes to buy some. The crystal Amarus gave Illuamor makes a golden halo appear above Syn's head, marking him as one of his destined companions. Syn agrees to go on the journey with them since it sounds interesting.

Inu, Illuamor, Syn and his retainers leave the port of Kagi on a ship to the mainland of the Lolos Republic. Illuamor attracts the attention of a curious salamander Faunus named Tadashi with his magical pot. Tadashi makes the decision to travel with the party from now on because he finds them interesting and wants to find someone who can teach him how to be an Enhancer.
