March 17

• City of Maa - ruled over by the Matron Elekandri Semushina of the Singidi Circle

• A clan of Teyrin Elves (nomadic & secretive covered in ritualistic blue tattoos) have the head of a Carkade Mummy Lord in their possession after the Mummy Lord and his court appeared in their midst; many dead elves

• Monks of Oba (preferred fashion statement = heavy dusting of ochre powder with white patterns on one side of face only) took Ruben prisoner before an exchange was made for Atalla

• The Spur Tower housing the Monks allowed passage way into the Shadowfel at the command of the head monk ("no name to you") - Atalla romped with undead - would've liked to have spent a little time here but no time allowed - maybe better to note the large numbers of undead inhabiting Maa's echo city in the Shadowfel

• A trade was reached with the assassin (being held prisoner in water chamber) being traded for Atalla and 5000gp to Jari for his loss

• Jari (old mate), Boss of Clan Crokuz of the Janto Traders went to confront Necan, Boss Necan of Clan Negbotho - Necan's son had ordered the assassination of Boss Jari for his 'humilialtion' after Jari withdrew from his granddaughter from marrying him - No details of what transpired, but Jari and his warriors returned with some obvious injuries

• Heard the term used 'phantom energy' in reference to the green energy that the duergar dwarves used in their failed assassination attempt on the Matron - also observed similar to the green energy observed in vision of distant past involving the monstrous Carkade pyramids

• You left with the Janto Traders firstly along the Chordata River in barges and then later transferred to caravans as h barges were sent in a different direction

• Shadowed by large packs of gnolls who never engaged with the caravan but did pick off one Janto outrider

• Trees blocked passageway at one point, Jari observed talking with slender robed figure standing atop trees, one soldier down with large smouldering wounds on armour

• Figure was a warlock, no more detail given, but Jari observed (and heard) making payment)

• Jari asked if Maybellina knew she was a 'bride' already?

• Further travel resulted in stretching, pulsing within caravan (similar in sense to shadowstep)

• Arrived at the northerly point of the freshwater Keshin Sea - 400 miles long, up to 100 miles wide, spent time with Quint, who had fled the Kali Tyranny upon its arising 30 years ago

• Jari's granddaughter is a powerful seer - no detail given on her abilities or how they work
  • Knew Ophion's 'father'
  • Ophion and granddaughter to be married in 3 years - Ophion now possessor of black dragon wyrmling teeth

• Kunoh with war axe only he can see the pictographic tale of his people's first trials and forming

• ancient figure given to Ephut Ki from when only elves worshipped the storm god

• ancient tear drop stone carving allows wolf to add d6 to AC for one minute between long rests

• broken Alin (the 'patrons' in the Carkade mythos) containing small piece of warpstone - from the home of the 'first world of thirteen'
  • warp in this case means - has reference to chaos, but more aligned to 'the beyond', the void, the space between space

• Ruben given a sealed invite from a hidden university to open

• Travelled along edge of Keshin Sea - is borderlands/wilderness territory

• Minor ice storm emanated from 3 towers rising from the lake - home to 8 Blue Tieflings

• After 5 days ascended towards the Chalk Tablelands; set upon by a 100 strong gnoll clan
