| * now it is clear that there is a broad conspiracy in Safelster involving Mallia and the Burning Malady: Makris had it, Unn has it via that Voralan shaman, and this “Wanderer” enemy still has it. | * now it is clear that there is a broad conspiracy in Safelster involving Mallia and the Burning Malady: Makris had it, Unn has it via that Voralan shaman, and this “Wanderer” enemy still has it. | ||
| - | - Different handwriting and parchment; unsigned: “I found the last batch of Blue Stone to be insufficient. Most of these stones in the mine are useless even if refined. Diligent Quintus has long ago prepared stones that may work. But we have received no news of him lately. I wonder if he can be trusted. Anyway, with the power of the Serpent and the lesser stones, the doors shall open, and none shall be able to close them.” | + | |
| * Again with this “Quintus” person. And more on that ritual. | * Again with this “Quintus” person. And more on that ritual. | ||
| - | - “I’ve heard of this new threat, a Telmori Tergavi who goes by the name of Black Eyes. I hope that Pehraln has found a way to be rid of him. If our ally gets the Tome of the First Eye That Opened, that concern may vanish.” | + | |
| * Aha! There is a race going on, with Black Eyes vying to get those tome(s) vs. your foes. All the more reason to find him. And again, this “Pehraln” person. So you know of 3 enemies unaccounted for: the Wanderer, who seems distinct from Quintus (presumably an enemy!) and Pehraln. | * Aha!

| And you come to the tent where you meet the somewhat young, but still impressive, Pralori shaman named Finefoot. He is very friendly, and launches into telling you some things, saying that he’s heard of you and there is growing sense that you are heroes that might be trusted to some of his kind. | And you come to the tent where you meet the somewhat young, but still impressive, Pralori shaman named Finefoot.

| - | “The Ancient Beast Society maintains the peoples’ connection to their beast ancestors. Even if they have become more focused on Malkionism or the gods. Many Henotheists are all three. To lose the Ancient Beast Society is to lose this connection throughout Ralios. And it is under threat in some areas. Not so much here. But in Estali county, much so. And further away, but I know those lands less well.” | + | > “The Ancient Beast Society maintains the peoples’ connection to their beast ancestors.

| Finefoot says that Black Eyes surely can travel in Dark Season. Many Hykimi can, although those who have left the old ways (he is clearly thining of the Galanini of Estali) tend to hide in their towns and cities until Sacred Time. | Finefoot says that Black Eyes surely can travel in Dark Season.

| - | “Listen and I will tell you of what is forgotten. Before Time and into the First Age, the land of Ormsland in Ralios was home to a great Reptile Alliance. There were animal people of lizards, crocodiles, wyverns, chameleons, snakes and maybe more. Gita Flatsnout was their “King”, became a dragonewt, and united them and other Hsunchen tribes. They were the last to know the deeper secrets of the Orggee Snake Caves, but were wiped out in the Gbaji Wars. The Reptile Alliance had some alliance with the local dragonewts, who were called the Draconic Ascension network. Those dragonewts had an Inhuman King named Strength of Flame, and persisted into the Second Age to become part of the Empire of Wyrms Friends. Strength of Flame was killed by Alakoring Dragonbreaker of the Ralian Orlanthi, and that ended the Draconic Ascension in Ormsland. I say all of this because perhaps some ancient lore remains of the links between the Reptile Alliance, the Draconic Ascension and our animal people of the Ancient Beast Society, but I don’t know where that might be found.” | + | > “Listen and I will tell you of what is forgotten.

| You visit the Lightbringer temple area, where Fraud had commissioned the sage Isgara Seven-Wits to look for information on the Night Gorge. She has procured what she thinks is reliable information on its location in the wilds of eastern Tanisor. [added to map online now] It matches the less specific location of the Darkness and Dragon runes you’d seen much earlier on a magical “map” that Star Thief Round Tip had conjured. Reports that are in this Library note that explorers have been shooed away from the area by Seshnelan patrols, who say it is off limits. A scholar of a zoological bent was eager to pursue ancient accounts that the fauna of this little region had an unusually diverse array of bats. That’s all that Isgara thinks the Library holds. | You visit the Lightbringer temple area, where Fraud had commissioned the sage Isgara Seven-Wits to look for information on the Night Gorge.
