Arcanium

by Delphi Crisdrith

I don't like this planet, it wasn't very enjoyable. While I didn't spend a lot of time here only with Oakley on a personal quest, I heard and noticed that everyone is quite racist. I am a Moonstone Dragonborn, and it seems my species doesn't reside on the planet. So you can imagine all the stares and oogling I got, it wasn't enjoyable.
 
Fortunately we were in the North which I was told had looser rules,we did meet this lovely Half Giant named Helda who ran the general store in Brittlemoor, she explained everything. Elves run everything, if you aren't one you're treated as less than. They have slaughtered Changelings to the verge of extinction. We got the supplies we needed from her and she helped my friend Adith get into contact with someone who could help him get some magic items he wanted.
 
When we went to meet the contact of Hilda's who seemed like a well off Dwarf man named Brenn, during this meeting we learned of Catalyst's stair case curse which she seems to be enjoying. Brenn made a deal with Adith and he obtained a pair of sending stones, finder's goggles, and living gloves. Catalyst when she stepped up into the carriage she went down a staircase instead which led her to the sewers. We did end up testing if she could take people with her and it turns out she can. I followed her down this staircase when there wasn't one, we ended up in a tavern basement, as long as I couldn't see and trusted her we went down together.
 
Our adventures were taking us to Snowbury, Adiths parents picking us up in their Spelljammer Wasp ship. It was the first time I had ever seen one, it was very invigorating experience flying at a speed so fast your mind can't even comprehend it. We stopped for a moment and it seemed whoever had originally awoken the Cosmic Horror was upset that we foiled their plans. They were a white scaled skin Lich with a fire crown and several tentacles one coming directly out of the center of their chest. There was other creature sthat my friend Catalyst drew much better than I could ever describe that she named the Gibbering Mouths, they were summoned by this Lich. It was a tough fight, I was knocked unconscious but Oakley got me back up on my feet.
 
We flew about 20 miles out of Snowbury and and made the trek, we dealt with what we needed to an left. Oakley promised to get me a camera which I'm very excited about because perhaps I'll be able to better document these creatures. My final notes about this planet is I don't recommend it for anyone, it's filled with racists and while they're aware of space they aren't aware they aren't the only ones out there. I feel like at this point if they were made aware of other creatures existing in space they'd start a war with the first ones they interact with.
