Continued immediately on from [[July 19|July]]'s game:

The enemy stands before us, it is am avatar of Mephistopheles. He is easily 8 foot tall, and is brandishing a couple of Japanese long swords.

Ruben sneaks away and puts his journal down in the light spilling out of the doorway. Nothing seems to happen.

Ophion is lying on the ground, exhausted.

Mephistopheles attacks Nandi, shooting rays of ice at her.

The party attacks Mephistopheles. We try to banish him, but it fails. We hurt him a little. He casts ice spells, eventually creating an ice wall splitting the group in half.

Ophion gathers his strength and stands. He takes Nandi's hand and makes to leave. Mephistopheles tries to win Ophion over (telepathically) but Ophion stands firm.

The avatar of Mephistopheles disappears into blue light, which bounces around everywhere, as huge glowing orbs.

The kids and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhole dholes] all reappear. The kids concentrate the energy into a single ball which Nandi blinks away.

Nandi thanks us for saving us. She explains he is trying to circumvent his own demise. The places are drifting further apart and he doesn't want to go the way of the others, he thought he would 'hitch a ride' on the new divine spark.

Nandi explains she and the other children are the guardians of the gate. The gods can't come here. Mephistopheles was only able to because he was linked to Ophion. It becomes clear to us at this point that we have all been manipulated into thinking the Leopard Orchids were the bad guys in order to get Mephistopheles to this place of power.

We learn that the gods have divine spark - radial energy that moves through [[The Spaces]], and accumulates at the edge of the [[The Spaces|Great Beyond]]. This [[The Spaces|Lifelight]] has awareness and cannot be controlled, only coerced and with difficulty. It produces new divine sparks, each round different to before. It is anathema to the outer plains beings (such as the modern day gods).

We learn that the gods and the planes are not eternal. Gods rise and fall with and as [[Echo Planes|the planes]] do. The more they ascend, the lighter they get, so it becomes harder for them to descend.

The power behind the [[Elder Gods]] makes them last longer than the new modern gods who come and go sooner.

We learn more about [[the Spaces]] - Chaos, Great Beyond, Lifelight, Otherwhere, Quanti, Threshold, Timevoid, Void

Nandi gives us a blessing each, specific to our needs.

--

We leave, and we arrive back at Coro's Court. It has been about a week. Everything has returned to how it was before we left the town the first time - the tear in the sky, the riots (although they are calming down).

Ruben is sad to discover that he did not bring back any of the Lifelight in his journal (the trick with the book in the doorway).

We receive a message "The Semseers request your permission to attend". We give them permission. We hear them start to arrive instantly. We meet them at the teleportation circle. One steps forward, introduces themselves as Semseer Audell from House Gaoro, and asks a favour of us.

Semseer Audell tells us that the Semseers are unaligned so they need our help in putting off the White Wasps mega swarms which are expected any day. They explain the White Wasps are leftover energy from the [[Elder Gods]] being destroyed. Whenever a rift is created between [[The Spaces]], they are attracted to it, to destroy. During major [[Discontinuance Events|discontinuances]], they can congregate into mega swarms, massive balls measuring up to 40km diameter.

The Semseers are desperate and they have come to us because we're unaligned, like them, and they fear others would use the megaswarm as a weapon against their enemies.

Then they tell us there's more.

Out of the teleportation circle, a female cleric is brought out, surrounded by blue light. They explain they've frozen time around her, and please not to touch her or the light. They tell us the human's name is [[Dawn Eventide]], and she has a symbiant called Drana, which we can see superimposed over her.

They explain Dawn travelled to the past, Carkade era, and after returning, her father, Patriarch Divine Alaclif Eventide of the Radiant Coast, sent her off to the High Temple of Lithander because she was starting to lose herself.

The symbiant Drana had attached itself to Dawn to escape the Alin and the Carkade. The Drana were a hive mind race, very clever, so clever they forgot to be conscious and aware, so when the Alin and Carkade attacked, they were easily overpowered, and enslaved to control the power of [[the Spaces]].

Some of the clerics at the High Temple, where Dawn was being kept, changed their minds about helping after the attack by the Revelations, and they were going to instead use her as a weapon. They had been trying to wake Drana with Dawn to be used as a conduit only.

They managed to try 3 times, and each time a magical disaster has occured. If Drana is awakened, and if Dawn is killed, it will create a runaway vortex ripping through [[The Spaces]] because the Drana is out of time and will have lost it's link.

So, the Semseers beg us that we need to help keep Dawn safe. 2 of the Semseers will stay to continue the non-detection spell they have on her. We especially must be cautious of the [[Drana's Hammer]], members of whom we met at the Convocation, as they want to rule and will no doubt try to use Drana to take advantage of that - they have the name because they have a weapon that was possessed by the Drana, a 15 foot green obelisk.

They tell us we need to go to one of the wormholes to access the [[the Spaces|Timevoid]]. There are only 2 wormholes in total, and only one is close enough - Pokio Pyramid. They say "a dead mind revitalises Drana's gift" - Tavarus Stone maybe?? (see notes from [[March 19|March]])

Kunoh knows that the Carkade and the Alin were trapped on the Alin 12 Worlds within the Void due to his ancestors and their allies successful attempts to fend the Alin-Carkade alliance off. So how did the Carkade escape the Timevoid? Is their re-emergence what has caused the latest major discontinuance?

Heian is waiting at the Court when the others return. He has received a message from the Liodan Elves, ones that split off 500 years ago. They're visiting in a week and want to meet him. He thinks they want to make him King.

The people in the Court are different to the ones we've met before. If we concentrate, we can remember them.

-

Ophion notices people are less concerned about tieflings than before. And everyone loves him, Ophion the famous rock star, especially.

-

Kunoh is believed to have single handedly killed Wanambi, and Rusheed the Steward calls him "Mighty Warlord" to his face. We are shown to a lavish room, and Kunoh is presented with his original battle axe wrapped in furs - werewolf furs! There is a letter that says "Your army of the wight awaits to serve you, Great Warlord" and there is some werewolf artwork.

-

Ruben is the Dean of the Hall of the Arcane Mysteries, and is about to take over from Darksun.

-

A woman walks in, Mayb knows she should recognise her but she does not. She has a traditional red 3 piece garment on, with a magnificent headdress. She bows to Mayb and informs her that the first of her callers awaits an audience. Her name is Carla. She explains that Mayb has to decide who she will favour for the Imperial Coronation, because after all she will be on the high table next to the Empress as she is the Ambassador of the Fey. Mayb follows Carla and we all stick our heads around the corner of the doorway to watch. A beautiful man, a magician called Daja from House Heard, offers Mayb translucent pearls in an ivory trunk, asking to be her escort to the Coronation. A stunning woman steps out from behind Daja, reaches into the trunk and pulls out a necklace, then puts it on Mayb, telling her she looks beautiful. She is Lady Zaratee.

Mayb accepts Daja as her escort. Daja offers to have Lady Zaratee finish dressing Mayb. They both thank her profusely and leave.

Mayb and Ophion's trinkets react pleasantly to each other.

-

We have a group meeting. Everyone's confused, but not too concerned as of yet.

-

Ruben heads to the Great University. There's a giant door, with a squid design. He is swarmed, people rushing up to him from everywhere, calling him Professor. They have all figured out the answers to all the great mysteries - the location of Atlantis, the Apocalypse class artefacts etc - suddenly everyone's research just came together in this one day. There's maps, books, papers, blueprints, people calling out. He thinks he sees Lady Zaratee but when he chases after her, there is no one there. Ruben tries to grab what research he can. Ruben looks for his magic box, only to be informed they have lost his invisible box, but they point him towards his Sanctum, a magicky sphere, that he can compel things to. He compels the research to his Sanctum. They complain that he is taking everything. He assures them all he just wants to read over it, and he sends all the people away to research strange occurrences within the last few years. He makes the Sanctum small and puts it in stealth mode. He hears a woman laughing but when he looks, there is no one around.

When Ruben returns to Coro's Court, he puts the Sanctum near his magic brazier, and it confirms it is a giant bag of holding.

-

The next day is Market Day, and Ophion is expected to perform.

-

Rusheed shows Kunoh to the group of men he is training. Rusheed announces the Dolg Katar are bending the knee to Kunoh as the True Khan of the Star Warrior, Kunoh the Inscrutable, and all the tribes are throwing off the shackles of the Hellegu. A loud cheer rings out.

-

Mayb is attended to by fey attendants, handmaidens, They read out the local gossip, the seelie and unseelie court listings - Mayb notes Verenestra's name does not get mentioned. They mention Lady Nakiasha, Lady Auchomelgen and Titania. Titania wants Mayb to ensure Ophion's engagement to the Janto Queen in Waiting goes ahead, because the court wants access to the "watery memories of their ancestors". The Janto don't know but they are a threat to the Fey.

-

There are shadow watchers around, no one knows who they are. One starts training and instructing Heian on how to reach the Hall of Lamentations with the intention of bringing the extinct Eldar back. The Shadow watchers meet in the Hall of Lamentations but because Heian is not Taerun, they can't take him with them. Their first is called Ens Seqqa.

-

Ophion's performance goes amazingly well, not a hitch. The Emperor-to-be watches from his palanquin. People are chanting, begging to touch Ophion, calling out. The people part and some short people in grey robes give Ophion a "gift from the Horned God", a statue made of platinum - it's Ophion standing victorious atop a fallen and destroyed Horned God. They say "We submit to you, Slayer of the Universe. Behold the Maker of the New World!" Ophion sees a wisp of Lady Zaratee - she mouths something at him, cackles and walks into the crowd. He realises she said "Northern Ghost" ... Before Ophion can do anything, the Emperor-to-be is whisked away and the soldiers are all looking anxious. Ophion addresses the crowd, thanks them, tells them they do him an honour he cannot accept with the statue. The people are devastated and do not understand why he will not accept the statue. Ophion tells them his greatest victories are still to come, that he is no god, and he released them from following a false god. They tell him they can only live if it is in the shadow of his light, and beg him to take the offering. He tells them he will mark a place in town in the coming week and they can set up a shrine there. They ackowledge Ophion as their Supreme Leader, tell him they are unworthy and bow their heads. Ophion shoos them away.

-

Mayb's handmaidens come to her, tell her its time for her midday commune with the feywild. There is a demigod walking the courts spreading fear and rumours. Titania's enemies are talking. Lady Karma Foxlash, Lady Nebula Lemonbee, Lady Laurel Watergrove, Skullbriar. An echo is breaking down, light is just about to be extinguished, Titania keeps saying it's not the Feywild but that it could affect them.

-

Ruben experiments with his Sanctum. Eventually he figures out how to get inside. The Sanctum is modelled after his old study at Waterdeep. There is a taxidermed illithid that he doesn't remember ever having. There is also an illithis skull paperweight. There is illithid ink. Half written notes on the desk ...

"Sless is not dead" ... Ruben thinks to himself that's not his handwriting ...
"Kabirol is watching you" ... this one is not his handwriting and yet not the same as the last note either ...
"Valt is your friend. Valt loves the Professor" ... what in the ...
"Valt is very sentient. But Valt is trapped and needs your help. Valt protected the Professor. Valt buried all of your dead." ...
"Your brother killed Ubor the Terrible. Ubor's nest was destroyed. " ...
"Zergungal does not like you. Zergungal is nursing his wounds and is waiting to consume your tick tock brain. Zergungal loves tick tock brains" ...
"Zergungal doesn't like you. And I don't like you either. Vess' nest is hunting the Professor" ...
"but Valt still loves the Professor and Valt would never consume the Professor's tick tock brain."

Ruben asks aloud "Valt who are you?" and he notices the taxidermed illithid has moved. Ruben looks down and realises he has drawn a picture. it's of a big demon like creature with huge wings.

"Valt loves the Professor. Valt is good. The Professor is better. Long live Valt"

-

Kunoh is training the men. He quietly notices that when the men move, it is in fits and starts. Kunoh suddenly realises he understands that they are moving through time as they are moving through space. Kunoh suddenly understands quantum physics.

Devron disappears and doesn't come back. He asks one after another of the other men where Devron has gone. None of them ever knew him.

-

The group meet again at dinner. Kunoh tells Ruben this world is wrong. Ruben agrees. Ruben asks Kunoh to cut his finger, which he does. Ruben's finger bleeds

Heian and Onai are still away.

--

Tranq and Ophion set out to find the leader of the Revelations.

They decide to look for a secret place. They find a secret dive bar run by one of the factions of the Thieves Guild. They enter. Tranq notices that the boss tough guy has noticed Ophion, seemingly through his disguise. Tranq also notices one of the boss' companions is a tiefling in disguise, and that the boss himself is a vampire. Tranq tells Ophion what he has noticed. They sit and drink for a few hours, trying to subtly get information out of the barman.

Suddenly the earth rumbles and the room goes dark. Tranq and Ophion stumble and then look around. Only the vampire boss and his two thugs are left in the room, everyone else has vanished. The vampire beckons them over. They saunter over, grabbing a bottle and some glasses on the way.

The vampire says he knows that Ophion is Taleiriah's brother. He says he owes her, and when Ophion asks for more detail, the vampire shows Ophion the scars on his arm.

The vampire's name is Armell Hart. He mentions he knows where Ophion and his friends are staying. Ophion asks after the tiefling female who was around before, and Armell says she is not anyone important. He asks what Ophion wants. Ophion responds that he wants to find the leader of the Revelations. Armell says the leader is in hiding, that everyone is looking for him right now. Ophion suggests that Armell might have connections he can use. Armell asks what Ophion can offer him in return. Ophion offers to kill Taleiriah, and Armell accepts. He adds his own condition however - that it is done within a year and a day, otherwise Ophion must return to Armell and serve as his minion. Ophion agrees. Armell puts his hand on Ophion's forehead, burning his mark into him for a moment, and then the bar returns to normal, everyone in their rightful places, nothing seemingly out of place.

--

Atala goes to the Silver Order.

The First Speaker appears in the mirror. She's furious that Atala appeared at the Emerald's Blaze convocation without having been chosen by the Order as a representative. Atala tries to placate the First Speaker whilst also finding out the information the companions are looking for. The First Speaker says she will organise an invitation for Atala to attend the Palace to find out what the Ruby Imperials are up to. The Silver Order is concerned about the Ruby Imperials more than the Revelation. The First Speaker also demands that Atala pass on any info she can about the ink. They want the ink and it's one of their top priorities.

the Silver Order's top priorities:

- the ink

- the 1st scale of Yorlunga (not to be confused with the scale of Yorlunga we have in our possession)

- horn of Aves Reva

Atala goes back to Korro's Court, checks in with the group in the library and heads to bed.

--

Ruben admits to Mayb that he feels he can't trust his own thought processes at the moment.

Ruben, Mayb and Kunoh check out the Korro Court library. Ruben and Mayb look for mentions of cults. Kunoh helps by keeping guard and occasionally pointing out books to Mayb he thinks might be helpful. Mayb indulges him because she's kind, every now and then pointing out words that Kunoh might recognise to look for.

They find some minor and/or vague references. They note that every mention does correlate with a [[Discontinuance Events|discontinuance event]]. They rush to the Seneschal and wake him up, asking how long the children have been sighted for this time around. The answer is a couple of months.

The last discontinuance event was roughly 500 years ago, and was only minor. It was when the [[Witch Queens]] tried to take [[Elder_Gods#Hecate|Hecate]]'s spark but their ritual was interrupted, and they ended up being split over multiple dimensions.

It is obvious to Mayb and Ruben that this is what is happening now - a discontinuance event. Whether it's minor or major yet, is unclear - it won't be clear until more time passes and the length and impact can be ascertained.

--

Many hours pass, and in the morning, the Seneschal brings news to the team in the library that there are many people marching in the streets again.

Tranq and Ophion arrive, weary and a little drunk.

Kunoh turns and out of the corner of his eye is sure there was a figure in the corner of the room watching Ruben, but when he focuses, he sees nothing. He notes to himself it looked like a tall shapely female, wearing dark green war paint, perhaps of the Emerald's Blaze.

Atala awakes and joins everyone in the library.

An invitation arrives, an official decree from the Royal Palace, naming the 6 of us specifically.

We also receive the information from Armell Hart - the High Prophet's name is Demonere Devont, and there are 4 prophets beneath him, the Polaris Prophets. We learn plans about where one of them, Temetric of Bankis, will be at sunset and where he is staying.

Atala decides to head out to see if she can find some information. Everyone else has not slept, and so goes to bed.

Atala find that the central city is closed off, with legions standing at every gate. The rioting is happening outside of the central city, so the legions are guarding the entrances to keep the riot from spreading in. The many towers are still under siege, the Whitestar and Darksun shrines are burned to the ground, sacked. There are flames and smoke everywhere. It is clear those with divine connections are being targeted. There are volcanic eruptions seen and heard from the west, ash floating down among the rioting.

Rumours reach Atala that the High Prophet is at Glandri Tower, with a huge amount of people. She goes, there are tens of thousands of people, there is a force-field above and around the tower, in the plaza in front, a single figure dressing in red, screaming about how the gods are only taking care of themselves, that they are working against the people, blaming the gods and all divine practitioners and magic users.

He mentions Oberon and Yormosha, the father and mother of their new Pantheon, by name.

A large group of Revelationists are there, assembling catapults, balistae, and blasting against the force-field trying to get to the tower itself.

Atala sees and feels that it suddenly gets very dark around the people, and there's a strange pulsing. Then the earth between the force-field and where she is splits apart with a massive explosion of force and radiant damage. Several hundred followers explode or disappear into the split in the ground. The force-field is down. The mob attack the tower directly now. The High Prophet pulses with energy and the crowd surges. Atala leaves as the leader and his followers begin to march forward towards the tower.

Atala then proceeds to the courtyard where Temetric is due to be at sunset, to meet his followers. The space was previously a huge barrack tower, now is ruins. She notes there is only a narrow way to enter, which opens onto a large open courtyard, with some hallways and rooms semi intact around the outside. It is in a shanty part of town, many abandoned buildings, but none too close to the space.

Atala returns to Korro's Court in the mid afternoon and awakes the companions to discuss plans.

Mayb and Ophion disguise themselves. Ophion also uses his skills to help disguise those who cannot disguise themselves. Ruben is dressed convincingly as an old crone. Tranq and Atala use people they have noticed around town as the basis for their disguises. Kunoh comes to Ophion with a collection of very odd garments to work with, he ends up dressed similarly to the local people but with an unusual flair due to his size and insistence on certain elements being incorporated into his disguise.

They head to the meeting place to arrive a bit earlier than sunset, to get into position and get the lay of the land.

When they arrive, they split up to see what is happening. Ruben is acting a little strangely, Kunoh notices, so he keeps an eye on him. Ruben notices the intricate details on the walls, believing them to be of significance. He starts taking rubbings of the walls, muttering to himself about dwarves. A few local street kids take note of the "crazy old crone" and start circling, ready to jump, but Kunoh notices in time and pays them coin to bugger off.

Atala draws some attention because she is a lovely looking woman, especially dressed as a local, many find her stunning. Thankfully, no one approaches her, and she melts into the background.

Tranq, Atala and Ophion climb up high to get a good view. They notice look-outs positioned around the place, but they manage to avoid their detection. The look-outs' focus is on the main entrance and the surrounding courtyard.

For lack of a better idea, since he is somewhat noticeable anyway, Kunoh takes a seat in the main audience area. Mayb hides in a nearby bush. Ruben hides in the shadows on the edge of the courtyard, with a good line of sight to Kunoh.

Once it is sunset, people bring out lanterns, strange designs with three faces. A man comes out, silver armour, big red hat, tabard, feathers, jewels. He speaks of the white Wasps giving the 1st harbinger of the new gods - the White Stone. He says Stone will lead everyone to the new Pantheon. He says no one will be allowed to harm the White Wasps, that no one will touch the Leopard Orchids.

Then he starts screaming about there being a traitor in amongst the crowd, one that is feeding information to their rivals. The companions all worry that he is referring to Kunoh of course, sitting there in his outlandish outfit, but then the speaker points to an old woman, saying it is Germaine who has been feeding the secrets! The old woman casts a teleportation circle and disappears. Mayb sees through the light before it fades, 3 figures all dressed in ruby red, one with a really big hat.

He screams that they are compromised. People panic and begin to scatter. Temetric moves closer to where Kunoh stands, and gestures - suddenly the companions are all lit up with fairy light. He looks at Kunoh meaningfully and says "Next time" and he casts a spell. As he does, Atala shoots an arrow at him. Tiny shields light up all around him, but he stumbles slightly. Everyone recognises his magic as the sigil magic we saw Mama Tet and the Marid using.

He manages to get his spell completed, and casts what the companions recognise as Word of Recall. A huge circle of light comes up and he steps through it. Mayb and Kunoh can see through the light, a brilliant white temple and what looks like the head of the Revelations.

Without a second thought, Kunoh jumps through the portal. Mayb follows immediately. Tranq and Ophion, who had both been moving closer the whole time, also follow. Atala and Ruben head for the circle too, but it closes before they reach it.

Through the circle, Mayb, Kunoh, Tranq and Ophion find themselves in a brilliant white 180 foot inner chamber, with the head of the Revelation sitting on a massive white throne, his 4 prophets standing by his side.

Ophion calls out "Demonere Devont!". He looks at Ophion, asks who he is. Ophion suggests that he knows who they are. Demonere admits he does and demands to know what the companions are doing there and what they want. Kunoh asks where they are. Demonere responds that they are in the first temple rebuilt on the ashes of Atlantis, that they will "summon Atlantis back".

He then offers to fix everything for the companions, to remove all the chains that bind them. Ophion starts steaming. He offers to Mayb that he can remove the sacrifice that Verenestra had to make to save Mayb. Mayb refuses.

Demonere says he will grant his mercy and allow the companions to leave, and he reopens a teleportation circle.

Mayb and Tranq head for the circle, dragging Kunoh with them. As Ophion follows, Demonere stops him and offers to get Tali for him so he can kill her but only if Ophion will serve Demonere. Ophion refuses. Demonere kicks him out.

Ruben and Atala wait cautiously near the newly reappeared circle, pleased when their companions return. Kunoh demands from Ruben to know where Atlantis is, says that is where the head of the Revelations is. Ruben is astounded. He says he doesn't know but he mentions that Sealie knows - she once offered to give Ruben the time location of Atlantis for a favour she could call on at any time. At the time, Ruben managed to refuse the knowledge at such a price, but it is an option.

Ruben mentions that Hecate was the patron of Atlantis, but she is sleeping. He reminds us that she is the Elder God of Magic, the one that the Witch Queens tried to take the spark of.

We leave the courtyard. It's late and significantly more dangerous than during the day, especially in our large group. We quickly make our way back to Korro's court. Passing the locals, we hear talk of how the Ruby Imperials are going toe to toe with the Revelationists, that this is new because up until recently, the Ruby Imperialists didn't seem to care what the Revelation were doing, but now they are actively fighting them.

Back at Korro's Court, Kunoh is agitated from the fight-that-wasn't so he trains to work it off. Everyone heads to bed, Atala having a bath on the way.

The next morning, Atala ducks out early and returns with a big smile and a fez for Kunoh. Kunoh is thrilled and immediately puts it on, proud as punch.

We head to the Ruby Imperials. We see the Ruby Imperials floating all around the city walls, whilst the Legion are protecting the gates on the ground. It is very clear no one is getting into the central city without permission.

We show our invite and we're allowed past. We hear from people we pass that around a thousand people were killed in the riots the day before. We are pointed in the right directions by people as we move along.

The magic users of our group can feel a strong power. Tranq and Kunoh can feel something a little bit. This is clearly the Arcane seat of power, the magical heart, of the Semudan Empire.

The Vice Rubisorge, Darksun, sits at the end of a big hall, with a line of people before him. Red tabard, black leggings.

All our magic items suddenly glow red. And interestingly, all the exposed skin of Ruben's starts to glow red also. The disguises Ophion and Mayb had on no longer work.

We introduce Mayb as our representative. When it is our turn, she is announced and steps forward. She begins by asking questions about the Leopard Orchids. We are asked what our interest is with them. We are all compelled to step forward and answer. We tell Darksun that the Orchid's motives are opaque and seem sinister, that we have suspicions they are part of something bigger and we have concerns the world is in danger, that they are letting stuff into our plane that shouldn't be here.

When questioned, Mayb admits that Verenestra set her on this path.

Ruben explains about how he was "healed" by them, but now he realises how much worse they made his situation.

Tranq explains how he found out that the Orchids are working with the Revelations.

Mayb explains that we thought maybe the Ruby Imperials could help us because we saw they tried to kill some of the Revelationists.

Darksun answers that they believe Tavorious Stone is the "First of the Undying". The Ruby Imperials cannot get to him, as they have matters of the empire to attend to.

He continues, telling us they know where the Revelationists are going but the Ruby Imperials can't go there. He is willing to tell us but only if Atala swears not to tell the Silver Order.

Atala wants to know if it's the local chapter, or the entire Silver Order that is causing them such concern. Darksun tells her the Order has been working with the Revelationists. Atala swears that she won't tell the Order anything Darksun tells us until after the Revelationists have been dealt with.

He confirms that the Leopard Orchids have emerged every time a discontinuance event happens. The Ruby Imperials believe this is a major discontinuance event, and they don't know what will follow as it has been so long since the last major one.

He shares with us their knowledge of the Elder Gods situation - 18 are extinct, but 4 remain unaccounted for.

Mayb asks about this new order the Revelationists are talking about, but Darksun says the Ruby Imperials don't know much. They do know a few of the key players in the Leopard Orchids - Nandi, Kudu, honeypot, Hottentot, Firelily, Gloriosa and Gazania - and they know they are a threat but they do not currently have the resources to destroy them.

Their divinations tell them unless someone stops the Leopard Orchids, they will bring about "newgenesis", the creation of the mind. Ruben asks if there is a link between that and a wizard we read about who was involved with "abiogenesis". Darksun does not know but says their library would have information relating to this.

Ruben asks for access to the library, which Darksun assures him he alone can have, but only if he remains with the Ruby Imperials ... continued in [[May/June 19|May/June]]

== History ==

=== Carkade ===
'''Overview'''

[[Carkade]] crumbled as a civilisation so long ago (6,000 years ago) even the elves remember them only as a name and from their ruins, scattered across the world. The Carkade were a continents spanning empire whose exact homelands remain unknown to the modern world. How the Carkade expanded, the civilizations they conquered and came in contact with and their history are also unknown.

The Carkade Empire forced pacts onto other races, such as the Stone Giants and dragons which to the modern day forbid members of those races from entering protected parts of the world. Cruel subjugation, enslavement and mass sacrifice were the fate of most Carkade foes.

=== The Alin ===
'''Overview'''

[[The Alin]] were a powerful elderday race that dwelt on distant worlds. Some were so powerful they ascended into the cosmic order and became patrons to some of the Carkade elite. These ascended allowed a chosen few into their ancient mysteries and by extension thrall. The Alin were said to be to shuffle reality like a deck of cards (transformation and summoning) while the Carkade were unsurpassed in necromantic power.

The Alin were fractious and in constant conflict with others of their kind and other races. Under the influence of malevolent powers (e.g. the Horned God) over time most of the rulers and many commoners drifted into a lust for blood and destruction. This accelerated rapidly and the brutal death throes of the far flung Alin empire lead to the annihilation of many lands, worlds and deaths of untold millions of individuals.

The present day state of Alin is unknown

=== Sarpadian Empire ===
'''Overview'''

The [[Sarpadian Empire]] was a military power that conquered and ruled a large region of the northern part of the western continent. Initially a small kingdom, the militaristic Sarpadians expanded over centuries bringing to heel neighbouring duchies, principalities, tribes and kingdoms underneath the banner of one unifying empire. Their expansion commenced some 1,200 years ago, reached a zenith some 900 years ago before the utter collapse of the Empire some 500 years ago. The empire collapsed after a centuries long struggle against a deadly foe which destroyed them both.

=== Kingdom of Argos ===

A mercantile kingdom that started in the southern Focian plains, the Kingdom of Argos was contemporaneous with the Sarpadian Empire. The Kingdom of Argos existed for 500 years sending out colonies far and wide before succumbing to the same terror that saw the end of the Sarpadians.

There was a very active cult called the Cult of Bhaal within the Argos Irregulars - shock troops wielding murderous killing magic with close ties to the secret police of the kingdom.

=== Caridern ===
'''Overview'''

The Caridern are an extinct elder race of smoky blue skinned elves whose final cause of extinction is unknown to modern races. They were connected to the worlds of Eo and Cah-Galel, not to Faerun and were a society of skilled relentless warriors ruled by an elite caste of arch-mages. They sent expiditionary forces to other worlds via the Feywild before the recent minor discontinuance event started. They constructed outposts in the Feywild near places where access to the prime plane was relatively easy. The Caridern expanded outward more than 100,000 years ago, when there were fewer fissures and the Feywild linked 1,000s of worlds.

Their home was made uninhabitable in war with the Alin, and they were the builders of the "Feywild Fortress" accessed from Skaedguard.

The Caridern encountered Yurlunggur.

'''In Game'''

Thousands of years ago it was incredibly wet and lush and still maintains some remnant forests and deep lakes which are seemingly bottomless.

The eastern part of Treonol is largely borderlands and wilderness with towns strung out along the old caravan routes, which are now being turned into the fortified roads. Before the Helegu invasions the east was more heavily populated and Treonol was in constant conflict with Jayak tribes.

Treonol is ruled by Autocrat Maro Kush Nefor. Vicious and cunning, the Autocrat expands his own wealth and power at the expense of his own people while playing a dangerous game to keep the Helegu from interfering too directly.

These large multi-generational Janto trader clans frequently join up with their fleets in secret ports and other bases which are hidden from outsiders.

The different trader clans compete with each other, internally the families vie for high status and engage in an endless cycle of politicking and power plays.

Title to trade and clan property resides with the headman, who holds it in the name of the community, although family proprietors enjoy the use of Clan goods as long as they actively support Clan activities

The headman of each clan is a boss.

=== Teyrin Elves ===

'''Distant Players'''

Latter-day gods can no longer enter the prime plane in any meaningful way. They can send avatars or directly communicate with their followers but even these methods make them extremely vulnerable to others.

The bones of fallen latter-day gods litter the multiverse, slowing returning to the spaces, their divine spark absorbed by another god, held onto by powerful beings, set free to reform or regenerate as a new god.

The Hall of Lamentations contains the sacred image of every god that has ever existed.

The Eventide Shield are a mercenary group with several chapter houses across the western continent. They have a fearsome reputation, always fulfill their contract and always sell to the highest bidder.

They have sold their services to the [[Helegu]] Khaganate among others

20 years ago one chapter was employed by the Roaring Host to destroy a rebellious general who had taken up refuge in an abandoned fortress at the fringes of the Brass Desert near the Paracer Ascension.

For destroying the rebel general, his army and his followers Captain Bail Kenzee were allowed a share of the loot which included a +1 greataxe that was formerly in possession of the general’s Jinserric1 personal champion.

Captain Bail’s chapter spent a further 10 years in the pay of the Roaring Host finishing up in Treonol selling their services to the Autocrat. They were heavily involved in massacre at Phobos2, the Gestahl bloodbath3 and Jeshi Widom4 execution.

They have small chapter house, on a fortified hill 10 miles outside the Citadel of the Autocrat.

5 years ago after the Jeshi Widon execution, the Captain retired somewhere to the south of Trenol near the western edge of the Erensari in the Chalk Tablelands; which is on the northwestern edge of the inland freshwater ‘the Keshin Sea’. The Rakis Rift on the western side of the Chalk Tablelands is a huge natural barrier hundreds of miles long, routinely 10 miles wide and many miles deep in places.

He took with him the Great Axe (nick-named the ‘woodcutter’), which he wielded along with a shining greatsword, a personal retinue of guards, his best friend and personal champion Drake Olgad, his lifelong household steward Eekeb Vandorack and an entire household worth of slaves & servants awarded him by the Autocrat.

Leadership:

* Rin Darkfighter - Captain of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse)
* Cos Andromias - High Steward of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse). Cos is also a High Priest of Bhaal

== History ==

=== Carkade ===
'''Overview'''

[[Carkade]] crumbled as a civilisation so long ago (6,000 years ago) even the elves remember them only as a name and from their ruins, scattered across the world. The Carkade were a continents spanning empire whose exact homelands remain unknown to the modern world. How the Carkade expanded, the civilizations they conquered and came in contact with and their history are also unknown.

The Carkade Empire forced pacts onto other races, such as the Stone Giants and dragons which to the modern day forbid members of those races from entering protected parts of the world. Cruel subjugation, enslavement and mass sacrifice were the fate of most Carkade foes.

=== The Alin ===
'''Overview'''

[[The Alin]] were a powerful elderday race that dwelt on distant worlds. Some were so powerful they ascended into the cosmic order and became patrons to some of the Carkade elite. These ascended allowed a chosen few into their ancient mysteries and by extension thrall. The Alin were said to be to shuffle reality like a deck of cards (transformation and summoning) while the Carkade were unsurpassed in necromantic power.

The Alin were fractious and in constant conflict with others of their kind and other races. Under the influence of malevolent powers (e.g. the Horned God) over time most of the rulers and many commoners drifted into a lust for blood and destruction. This accelerated rapidly and the brutal death throes of the far flung Alin empire lead to the annihilation of many lands, worlds and deaths of untold millions of individuals.

The present day state of Alin is unknown

=== Sarpadian Empire ===
'''Overview'''

The [[Sarpadian Empire]] was a military power that conquered and ruled a large region of the northern part of the western continent. Initially a small kingdom, the militaristic Sarpadians expanded over centuries bringing to heel neighbouring duchies, principalities, tribes and kingdoms underneath the banner of one unifying empire. Their expansion commenced some 1,200 years ago, reached a zenith some 900 years ago before the utter collapse of the Empire some 500 years ago. The empire collapsed after a centuries long struggle against a deadly foe which destroyed them both.

=== Kingdom of Argos ===

A mercantile kingdom that started in the southern Focian plains, the Kingdom of Argos was contemporaneous with the Sarpadian Empire. The Kingdom of Argos existed for 500 years sending out colonies far and wide before succumbing to the same terror that saw the end of the Sarpadians.

There was a very active cult called the Cult of Bhaal within the Argos Irregulars - shock troops wielding murderous killing magic with close ties to the secret police of the kingdom.

=== Caridern ===
'''Overview'''

The Caridern are an extinct elder race of smoky blue skinned elves whose final cause of extinction is unknown to modern races. They were connected to the worlds of Eo and Cah-Galel, not to Faerun and were a society of skilled relentless warriors ruled by an elite caste of arch-mages. They sent expiditionary forces to other worlds via the Feywild before the recent minor discontinuance event started. They constructed outposts in the Feywild near places where access to the prime plane was relatively easy. The Caridern expanded outward more than 100,000 years ago, when there were fewer fissures and the Feywild linked 1,000s of worlds.

Their home was made uninhabitable in war with the Alin, and they were the builders of the "Feywild Fortress" accessed from Skaedguard.

The Caridern encountered Yurlunggur.

'''In Game'''

* SRG Party visited what was purported to be the Caridern homeworld via the Feywild Fortress
** bleak, dusty & windblown with minimal breathable atmosphere

* [[Features]]

=== Keshin Sea and Chalk Tablelands ===
'''Overview'''

The [[Keshin Sea]] is a gigantic freshwater inland sea that is over 500 miles from north to south, many rivers empty into it with a large number of rivers also outflowing from it. Its exact depth is unknown, but it is generally accepted to be over a mile deep at its lowest point. There are reliable reports of cave systems honeycombing its entire length.

The Chalk Tablelands rise up from the western coast of the Keshin Sea. A true borderlands, with thin strips of civilisation surrounded by the omnipresent wilderness. The entire area sits atops the ruins of many former civilisations both human and other. The lure of hidden palaces and lost cities attracts many adventurers and fortune seekers, with many returning disappointed, beaten or not at all.

== Peoples ==
=== The Helegu Khaganate ===
'''Overview'''

A powerful confederation of nomadic tribes that were united under a great leader Khagan Temir 300 years ago. Over the next 200 years the [[Helegu]] consolidated a huge inland khaganate obliterating and subjugating many civilisations and tribes, both human and non-human. Tens of millions million were killed during these years.

The Khaganate stretched from the cold steppes in the north, then south across grasslands, plains, deserts to the tropical savanna. It is often referred to by the Helegu as the “Land under the Eternal Blue Sky”.

=== The Treonol Autocracy ===
'''Overview'''

The [[Treonol Autocracy]] is a client state of the Roaring Host (Tocave Khan).

The nation exists on a plateau with hills to the west and east, mountains to the south and the Brass Desert to the north. It is dry and hot in summer, cool and wet in the brief winter. Thousands of years ago it was incredibly wet and lush and still maintains some remnant forests and deep lakes which are seemingly bottomless.

The eastern part of Treonol is largely borderlands and wilderness with towns strung out along the old caravan routes, which are now being turned into the fortified roads. Before the Helegu invasions the east was more heavily populated and Treonol was in constant conflict with Jayak tribes.

Treonol is ruled by Autocrat Maro Kush Nefor. Vicious and cunning, the Autocrat expands his own wealth and power at the expense of his own people while playing a dangerous game to keep the Helegu from interfering too directly.

=== Telehetti and the Erensari ===
'''Overview'''

The Erensari is a vast plains and grassland stretching over more than a thousand miles. This grass sea is interspersed with woodlands, rolling hills, deep open pits and crisscrossed by more than a dozen navigable rivers.

In the very north is the Kingdom of Serakka, which is a former client state to the Helegu.

[[Telehetti]] are the dominant ethnic humans who dwell on rest the Erensari.

=== Janto Traders / Janto Sea People ===
'''Overview'''

Across the length of the eastern cost the [[Janto Traders]] travel in huge linked caravans exceeding 60ft in length pulled by massive paraceratherium. These large multi-generational Janto trader clans frequently join up with their fleets in secret ports and other bases which are hidden from outsiders.

The different trader clans compete with each other, internally the families vie for high status and engage in an endless cycle of politicking and power plays.

Title to trade and clan property resides with the headman, who holds it in the name of the community, although family proprietors enjoy the use of Clan goods as long as they actively support Clan activities

The headman of each clan is a boss.

=== Teyrin Elves ===
'''Overview'''

Covered in blue tattoos, [[the Teyrin]] are a wide ranging and hidden kingdom of elves that stretch across much of the Western Continent.

Secretive in the extreme, the Teyrin are wild elves who lead largely nomadic lives. Skin colour is pale and slightly luminescent when born before darkening into a deep ivory when mature.

They avoid contact with other races, only occasionally making an appearance in the wider world. Even other elves find them difficult to locate and interact with.

=== Radiant Coast ===
'''Overview'''

On the far north eastern coast of the western continent, the Radiant Coast and its attendant cities are a popular highway for traders and travellers from distant Faerun and from the south, west and north of the continent (e.g. Kingdom of Jorentes; the lands of the Helegu hosts; Untari, the Erg Interior; the Stonewall States; Erensari Grasslands; the Ubarg Goblin Kingdoms; the lands of the Guptarids and Peshpekar; Obinah, Solinor & Cenopset in the Brass Desert; Empire of Golden Akkad)

The Ephereum fled their home Feywild as it fragmented and seperated from its home world before beginning its slow dissolve into the void. The Feywild they originated from was not the Feywild connected to Faerun, but one connected to another unknown world.

=== Semudan Empire ===
'''Overview'''

Known as the Ruby Empire of Redin [[Semudan]]. The Emperor Oghenkaro rules from Zanji. As of current day, the Empire is 10 years into a brutal civil war between Emperor Oghenkaro and his sister Empress Ememchiamo.

Emperor Oghenkaro was the younger child of the former Emperor and was crowned as imperial ruler upon death of his father. The elder ofthe two, Ememchiamo claimed she was made heir by her father and that Oghenkaro is an usurper. The ensuring civil war has split the Empire into many different factions, and there are currently 3 cities in open rebellion to any imperial claim - Adezine, Calakpene, Yolakoja.

During a meeting with Taleiriah, Ophion was told she was heading to the Duel Courts of Maleficence and Beneficence in Semudan. She was coy on which belonged to the Emperor, and which to the Empress.

* Jorentes controls large parts of the Saturn Mountains and the vast fertile Jorentes plateau which is surrounded by the Saturn mountains. Jorentes in the past 50 years has moved into grasslands beyond the western foothills into the territory formerly occupied by a huge number of city-states and minor kingdoms prior to Helegu invasion 300 years ago.
* The largest and most impressive Jorentes cities are housed in the Saturn Mountains and other than the capital include Lunar Major, Saltus Major, Exculis Major, Crinis Major, Andromeda.
* Cities lost to the Helegu included Prius, Canus Stellae Major and Sacrem Tor.
* King Nemedden Moonrunner rules from the capital Solis Major, atop of which sits the huge fortification of Solis Minor. Solis Minor is the last major obstacle to an army invading from the west reaching the Jorentes plateau
* Jorentes population includes millions of refugees from the times of the Helegu expansion and large populations of demi-humans. The native Jorenteans are now a minority popoulation within their kingdom.
* Solis Major sits on a high plateau guarding the largest and most accessible pass through the mounatins.

=== Gods ===
'''Distant Players'''

Latter-day gods can no longer enter the prime plane in any meaningful way. They can send avatars or directly communicate with their followers but even these methods make them extremely vulnerable to others.

The Latter-day gods are a million years product of regeneration, fusing, divine birth & rebirth and spontaneous creation. The bones of fallen latter-day gods litter the multiverse, slowing returning to the spaces, their divine spark absorbed by another god, held onto by powerful beings, set free to reform or regenerate as a new god.

The Hall of Lamentations contains the sacred image of every god that has ever existed.

[[Eventide Shield]] (mercenaries)

The Eventide Shield are a mercenary group with several chapter houses across the western continent. They have a fearsome reputation, always fulfill their contract and always sell to the highest bidder.

They have sold their services to the [[Helegu]] Khaganate among others

20 years ago one chapter was employed by the Roaring Host to destroy a rebellious general who had taken up refuge in an abandoned fortress at the fringes of the Brass Desert near the Paracer Ascension.

For destroying the rebel general, his army and his followers Captain Bail Kenzee were allowed a share of the loot which included a +1 greataxe that was formerly in possession of the general’s Jinserric1 personal champion.

Captain Bail’s chapter spent a further 10 years in the pay of the Roaring Host finishing up in Treonol selling their services to the Autocrat. They were heavily involved in massacre at Phobos2, the Gestahl bloodbath3 and Jeshi Widom4 execution.

They have small chapter house, on a fortified hill 10 miles outside the Citadel of the Autocrat.

5 years ago after the Jeshi Widon execution, the Captain retired somewhere to the south of Trenol near the western edge of the Erensari in the Chalk Tablelands; which is on the northwestern edge of the inland freshwater ‘the Keshin Sea’. The Rakis Rift on the western side of the Chalk Tablelands is a huge natural barrier hundreds of miles long, routinely 10 miles wide and many miles deep in places.

He took with him the Great Axe (nick-named the ‘woodcutter’), which he wielded along with a shining greatsword, a personal retinue of guards, his best friend and personal champion Drake Olgad, his lifelong household steward Eekeb Vandorack and an entire household worth of slaves & servants awarded him by the Autocrat.

Leadership:

* Rin Darkfighter - Captain of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse)
* Cos Andromias - High Steward of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse). Cos is also a High Priest of Bhaal
