Session 83: King Uther’s Vision Realized
General Summary
The after math of the conflict with the Shadow assassins the citizens of Babylon have many questions. Crimson guards, dock workers, and mariners lay wounded or dead on river ports docks. Moon shadow rangers and Crimson guard ask the party members questions. One of the questions was the two round wooden coins found on each pile of left over residue. The party members new what they represented and noticed that there were numbers on the coins that would normally be there. The Moon Shadow ranger Lieutenant seem to know what the shadow assassin were and they have not been seen in this area for many Chronos. The Leafguard seemed to know of a secret assassin organization that would summon these creatures or they were former dead assassins brought back from the dead to do the deadly deeds of the organization. The party for the most part did not give out any useful information to the two lieutenant or confirm anything with them about what knowledge they had on the Venom blades and that the coins represented how many kills each assassin had done after they killed a mark.
The party then departed another day on the Socrates river reaching the town of Mesopotamia where they spent a night. Leaving the next day by foot or horse arriving in the town of Soteropolis on the evening of the 21st of Diana. The weather had been steady rain for the last couple of day, but the spirts of the city were still high. The companions of Shining Eclipse arrived at their guild hall to welcome arms by their fellow majordomo Mr. French and their interns. Then the party took the next five days off for R\&R. They had been gone for almost a moon on their last two jobs as well as the time it took for the previous two jobs before that. The party has decided that after their days of respite that they would head to the realm of Geleon in search of Puff. During the five days off the CEO Omin Dran and Jim Darkmagic arrived in Soteropolis to check out the confines of Harker's Keep after spending a couple of days then they headed to Messesopontos to see the progress of the new guild hall started there by Arceven. Omin Dran was very impressed by the progress of Arceven and the rest of Shining Eclipse leadership with the ever expanding guild in the Soteropolis region in the short time that this guild has been in this region.
On the second day of the five day respite newly promoted Colonol Dame Vaeriel Sunwhisper performed the Calling of the Embers Ceremony at Harker's Keep. The last ceremony was also held here at Harker's Keep over six centuries ago. It was performed by Sir Abraham Harker himself and 34 four Dragon eggs were hatched. But none suspected the terrible truth—that the man who presided over the ceremony with such honor and grace, Abraham Harker, was in truth the great betrayer, whose hidden machinations would unravel everything the Dovahkiin fought to protect. This time four of the six eggs found by Shining Eclipses were hatched. The following Aspirants were chosen by dragons. These are the names and name of the dragons that were hatched and recorded on the 23rd of Diana. The first name listed is the Dragons true name, The second name is the humanoid forms name of the Dragon, the color of the dragon is listed next, and the last name is the Aspirant chosen:
- Auranyth/Auranielle (Gold) Camellia Took.
- Varkhazzar/Kazrak (Red) Gimmley Battlehammer.
- Thazrien/ Thalen (Blue) George Patten.
- Zanzibrius/Zanziriel (Brass) Ayduin Elrond
Now it takes a full moon for the bonding process to take place once the dragon has chosen an aspirant . There will be two more ceremonies following the Calling of the Embers. There was also a Blue dragon egg and a Brass Dragon egg that was not chosen at this ceremony. This is common among the dragons because they do choose who they decide to bond with. Those aspirants not chosen still serve the order until they die. They just don't become Neophytes who eventually will join the ranks of the Dovahkiin.
On the 27th of Diana the members of the Shining Eclipse have woken and prepare for their trip to the realm of Geleon . Colonol Damewhisper along with Karrin have cleaned up the Draconis Sanctum to be opened., the Dovahkiin Academy . She has tomes at the breakfast table and preparing notes for the new students and their dragons. Sarah Innsmouth also sets at the table not understanding why she has to go to school with wyrmling's when she is an adult dragon. The Colonol informs her that is the process needed for dragons and Dovahkiin to prepare for the duties that they do for the world of YonZora as well as the North Azure itself. She also gives instructions to the XO of the Academy Major Titus Icilius Megellus (Goat Man) as she is leaving with the party to set up the next hidden fortress of the order of the phoenix on Wyvern Island in the realm of Geleon. The party departs through the teleport activating the fortress on the map that is in all of the fortress letting anyone who has access to the map that the Dovahkiin are back. Arriving at the hidden fortress the party explore the hidden fortress that has not been active for five centuries. They look for clues that would lead them to Puff's location. The party discovers both hidden locations of entry one though the lake that a full born dragon could use and the main entrance which comes out in the garden of the Moon Lit Abby the neutral school of magic established by Tatsuo himself. They of course are met by a squad of Storm Riders who protect the school of Magic. To their shock Prince Arceven Stormwalker is with this group and they have no idea how he got on the island unannounced and feel that they have failed a test. Meanwhile Head Mistress Arali Mistsong also meets them at the secret entrance and does her best to convince the elite unit not to worry about the guest and that she would take care of them. Then she leads them to her office in the Abby.
