Aporeu chronicles Issue 17: The double address
Stories from the adventurers
This week
Everyone can rest assured, the adventurers guild has gotten more information about Ra and his threat. We are not in any danger anymore.The double address
There was a mission on the board for the bronze expendable ones. Inquiring about it revealed it was to investigate a recurring address in a list of worlds. A list of worlds given by an entity that calls itself Ra. An entity that gave this list so that we may scout out other worlds for it to conquer, in exchange for leniency in that regard for our own world. An entity with the power to bring enemies back from the dead at whim. Who takes the form of a human child. So, three swords, a bow, and myself head through the portal to go explore the one address that showed up on the list multiple times. Upon arrival, we find a clearing with runed boulders spiraling outwards. The bow can read the sign. And is subsequently engrossed in these telling's of the visits of two Gods. Apophis and Ra, in all likeliness. Whatever type of powerful entity these things are, were revealed to not actually be Gods. So those in their service closest to them found. Who have started a rebellion, and placed this address in the list repeatedly to draw our attention. We who have successfully bargained with these False Gods. And do note the plural used, because Ra and Apophis are not the only ones of their kind that like to take on the mantle of existing Deities. Amaterasu, Osiris, Camulus, Ba'al, Morrigan, Anubis, Kali, Isis, Bastet, Hathor and Cronus were others revealed to us by the rebels that lured us there.
Now, Ra is the Supreme System Lord, ruling over the others. Likely by might and power, because there is a lot of conflict between the System Lords. Something perhaps to our advantage. Though a lot more information will be needed before we can enter in their political game. What exactly constitutes a "system" for one, would be good to know.
We came by this information by meeting up with 2 guards that were following us. An ambush turned conversation had them bring us to their leader; Master Bra'tac, who revealed these things to us, also gave us a list of addresses that were high in resources and as far as they knew was uninhabited. This would give us time for what this old man and veteran fighter capable of taking on 4 fledgling adventurers at once, as well as deflect whatever our bow shot at him during another trial by fire given to us to prove our mettle, had planned to do. A great ally he will prove, as he wanted to go through the portal with us, to train our very own resistance army. Another ally of note, among these "Jaffa", warrior-slaves given a blessing to prolong their otherwise sickly and short life, is Teal'c, the current Prime, right hand man, of Ra. And others besides him are in resistance. For the threat is dire, and times are dark. But the darker it gets, the lighter our path shines above.
