Session 17 - Trouble and Research

by Kaito "Oreson" Brinejaw

As myself, Ape and Malaphor are putting on our new armour, Austar and Raskin show up. Raskin annoys Norman by asking for some armour, we also find out that Norman Laive can create Shrapnel Bolts.
 
As we leave Northward out of the Shanfall Courtyard, and Laelos itself, I notice about 150 feet away, 2 individuals that I recognized from the Shanfall Courtyard, I assume they are Alistan Preen's men.
 
We approach the treeline to the Kinrea Timberlands, Raskin and Austar peel off and hide behind some trees to see if the 2 individuals pass them so we can ambush them, after waiting 5 or so minutes no one passes through so we decide to carry on our journey towards The Lorden Athenaeum.
 
We get to the river which is 100 foot wide, with a bridge going across it, and next to it a statue of a Half-Orc looking male, smiling with 2 turtle like shells on his shoulder, a plaque underneath stating "Our Hero our Savior, rest well Giranis champion of the Soft Maiden". The Soft Maiden is a nickname for the Goddess Yona, the goddess of rivers, lakes and purification. Thought to be the wife of Naorr, god of the seas.
 
As we cross the bridge, strange fog appears and we notice slight shapes in the fog that dives at us, which are imp like in shape. Loads of these imps start to pick us up and try to drop us in the water, Raskin casts thunderwave which knocks Malaphor into the water, into the waiting crocodile underneath which knocks out Malaphor. I dive in after Malaphor, and cast water walk on myself, Malaphor and Raskin to bring Malaphors body out of the water. I then manage to get Malaphor back up and we managed to get a few more good hits in on the crocodile then fleas after looking extremely injured.
 
We continue on and arrived at The Lorden Athenaeum. Two guards outside ask why we're here, I provide the letter that I was given by Head Master Sigmund Prodeus. One of them goes inside and not along after, a short woman in beige and gold, curly brown hair, short horns curling upwards. Lilian Krowl, Book Keeper. On behalf of Realm Seer Dusklark, comes out to greet us. She lays down the rules of the library but provides us with beds for night before our research session the next day.
 
Moradin Research
Fictions and Folklore Section

  • Mention of a great 2 handed hammer, gifted to a hero by Moradin to find the Words if/when they were lost.


    • Aolaran Geography
  • Find a section about the Dwarves of Sansura. There were 2 clans that did travel and emigrate to Sansura, but they died out or disappeared. Homes lost and other Dwarf clans lost contact with them. Rumours of 2 great Dwarven Halls that stood tall centuries ago (30-40 thousand years ago). Early days of the Human race.

  • One called Durracap, once existed where now the Seeping Trench exists, in the South Western section of Sansura. Another place called Sul'Partha, great desert fortress of catacombs beneath sands, North West of Hashal.

  • Sul'Partha being the one that jumps out at me the most in terms of where I could maybe find a Word of Moradin.


    • Uturen Civilization
  • Learn that the Lassoon and Hagrowa ruins are the only 2 known ruins being excavated. Suspected to be more, unknown currently across Laelosia and others countries.

  • Uturens originally hailed from Uzoya. Reason connection has been made, Uturen were the first people to be created by the Guardian 6, the perfect creation for their planet. Reason connection made, it has been transcribed that Uturen means the first voice, and Uzoya means the first place. Theory of multiple ruins across the whole of Aolara.

  • Another ruins near the Laelosia in the Cineri Deadlands, Ruins of Nandrena.

  • The capital, Laelos is thought to have been built atop Uturen ruins but no one has managed to find them.


    • Azgorath Powers research
  • There is a recorded moment, in fiction history of Azgorath gifting people powers that they believe were needed for a specific event.

  • Event back then was to seal away evil god Zaheer, the group that was gifted the powers were called The Ninefold.

  • It seems as though this happened before humanity existed.


    • As I'm finishing up my research, Malaphor finds me after Austar over hears some people asking about us. We find Ape and we decide the best course of action is to NOT be shady and try to sneak out, unlike Malaphor's idea. We're unsure on where Raskin is. We go to the front door, we see 2 mages, one of which pulls a hood down, his eyes glowing blue, face made of metal. He says "Ah Titan's Bane I presume? We would like to have a word".
