You are all gathered here because i am in need of your services and you are in need of what i have to offer. You come from diverse backgrounds. WIth a secialised and exquisite set of skills. I’m looking for individuals smart, brave and willing to help out with a matter of utmost importance. You’re here especialyl Tramen, muhnus and agnes, because i was lucky enough to know the people who gave burth to you and raised you. We have travellled through this island na dunder the seas many many uears ago. You ahve quite some books to fill, but i surely beleive you’ll be more than able to do so. You can always tell me that youre interested in what i;m going to ask you to do. This is a commitment that you can’t leave once ypaccept it. In order to ensure this, you’re going to start with something very simple. If you’re happy then you can continue.
 
Arayn doesn’t consider himeself noble. He was raised by one of the wisest, most intelligent and carismatic people Myra knows. He taught many things.
 
Kyan - you’re a new face. Seeing you here was quite a surprise. But youre welcome and they’ll need a man of your skills.
 
City of thelissis transformed from a place of education and academia to one of the biggest construction sites in the world. They’re building the fleet of tomorrow and the future of mankind. The starting point of every single person brave and crazy enough to set sial in one of her ships and discovere everything about the world unknown. There’s an ethereal sea of what i believe will be 100s or 1000s islands filled with known treaures and secrets ot be discovered. But there’s a slight issue - somebody had the idea to enter my desk in my office and steal a piece of paper - which describes my initial notes of how to create the crystals needed to power the ships. It’s mostly of sentimental value vut i dont like people having things which are mind. Its a simple mission and i can guide you directly to where you’re going. If you’re successful, and you prove that you are a match for the people who gae you everything in te world, then we can talk about the nxt step.
 
A fortnight ago - a member of the theives guild (i assume) pr what we call ‘the man behind the shadows’ came into this room and procudred a book about 750 pp long in bound leather. Not sure where it is - i do know the person who stole it left a small gift for me. In the corner of the room there’s a footprint. The disgusting slimey mud has the purple algae of the southernmost canal in the city. I assume, therefore, they came or were in the swewers of the old city. This city was built on the ruins of a much odler city some time ago That city which used to belong to the ancients, had an extensive network of sewers, and now they’re used by all sorts of less good natured people who try to escape the hand of law.
 
I don’t want anyone to know that the doc was stolen. Sets a bad precedence and will then require me to have loads of guards.
Enter the sewers, get the book and come back. Bring it back and i promise that you’ll see profit that you haven’t see before. At the side of the room as you exit, i have a backpack that I prepared for you - everything in it is at your disposal. External of book is bound in black leather. Holds her insignia. If you find it, you’ll know. MAG.
 
Find a book in the library with a map of the sewers.
 
Backpack - vials of ‘potions’ (4 red (heal), 1 yellow (strength 1000 ox), 1 green (speed of a crouching tiger), a scroll (banishing scroll)- Prayer - . 4 people for 2-3 days.
 
Myra - super rude - lack of decorum. Something I’ll have to emulate if I’m to pretend to be a halfling.
 
We descend the tower and cross the moat. We pass the inn where tarman and arayne left their things. We can clearly see south from where we are a building which towers above all others, made of white marble - black slate roofs - golden dome with embellishments of silver which show the 3 moons of Lyra. In there is the library.
 
Walking down the boulevard - it’s busy and sunny. Breath in the tempo of the city. It’s busy, stores filled with taverns with open stalls. Food, furniture, clothing.
 
10am: there’s no market today, and the market square is empty.
 
Pause to listen to a particualrly intersting table - told me a story about a fat man having his way with a whore in the alley way
 
Arrive at the great college. A walled structure - the wall is filled with murals describing some sort of fight between gods. Lots of death and blood and very big creatures compared to smaller ones. Inside the gates. We go into a beautiful garden filled with unfamiliar trees - tall and bush, leaves made of purple and red. I brush the leaves against my face. And hum along with the tree. I’ve never seen a tree like this before.
 
A bell rings, and 100s of people 10-60 years old people pour into the garden. SCHOOL Bell of sorts?
 
 
Library - man who owns the library. We go into the archive (costs 6 electrum) with more important and tome like books - has a reading table. Finds the book - it’s about 1foot in height, 3feet in widgth. Goes through its pages and we see several other maps of the city. One of these pages is marked as the sewers. Book was made to measure - shows the whole square grid of the sewers of the city. Date of the book - 2760. 240 years out of date.
 
The librarian turns into a scaled, barbed bear the size of a building. Firey eyed and fire breathing. He says Do not touch the book. Illusion. I draw the map - who can draw straight lines without a ruler? I give 4 more electrum to the ruffian and he takes
 
Whilst we were in the lirabry the bell rang again because the gardens are empty.
 
 
Pond - connected to the southern canal, a concordance between the two of us. Also some transparent features which denote the current walls (as of 240 years ago). Aranye talks with the parrots - squarks at the parrots
 
Before lunchtime still - maybe 11:30?
 
We stroll towards the sewers.
 
Left and right of the canal - housing and residencies. At the end of the canal. A staircase parallel to the water descends into a wet corridor/tunnel.
 
Kyan and tarman
Agnes and Aranye
Muhnus
 
Th biggest rooms in the maps - vaulted locations - are south. Move south following the water. After 30 minutes, muhnus realies that we’re probabyl being stalked. Something is following us under the water. Muhnus puts his hand in the water. (communicating with).
