Adventures of Fortanis,
In an effort to share information in an easier fashion I am making what I discovered known here. I have been assured by the Archons that this dreaming will be safe from the Reapers and that we can freely discuss plans on our next course of action. If I have misspelled any names please feel free to correct me.
In the 10th month/October of last year an army of Void Elementals attacked. These elementals attacked not only Horn’s End and Valdanis but the entirety of the lands held within the mists; from the Blood Isles to the Veil no land was spared. The army abducted most leadership within our kingdom and perhaps the other kingdoms as well, that is yet to be known. Among those taken were skilled craftsman, guild leaders, many nobles and Her Highness and the children. We know that there are five generals who are holding those people as a safety net. If we attack the generals outwardly then the hostages will be killed outright. I was not able to get the names of the five but I know at the very least the races of four of them. They are as follows:
1. A Wolf
2. An Undead
3. A leader of a hoard of monstrous races
4. Unknown
5. The embodiment of everything Reaper
The Reapers are a race that exists outside of the Elemental or Magisterial Planes on their own separate outer plane. From what the Archons have told us, the Reapers epitomize the power hungry empire building stereotype. They crave power and have been in a stalemate of sorts, a ‘cold war’ with the Archons for as long as anyone can remember. The Reapers summon elementals and bind them to their will and conscript followers. I am sure that for those looking to make gold and live life as a mercenary their offers are very tempting. The Reapers heard of the ‘worse kept secret in Valdanis’ the Creation Stone.
The Creation Stone is a powerful artifact that grants true wishes. This is no like a monkey’s paw that will grant a wish but then causing some calamity to befall the wisher or those around them but, wishes without limit. If they wished to rule the known multi-verse they would, no questions asked. They could wish that entire peoples never existed and there would be no consequences. This army is currently knocking down the defenses on the doors holding the Creation Stone in place. We do not know how long it will take and how strong the defenses are but, we know that sooner or later they will break though. That being said we know more about them then they currently know about us.
The Archons took the area of Frost Fang Pass and have created a safety net. This zone prevents most monstrous races, elementals, undead, etc. from walking though. But, this zone is not 100%. Ogres made their way in and killed Cyprus and 2 different Void portals opened on the border of the zone. The ogres were killed and the first portal was closed. This is proof that by our congregating this place the zone was weakened.
Both Al and Altavius have made it very clear that every action we take impacts the magic in and around the zone. If we are transported outside of the zone or when we leave though the mists it leads to the equivalent of a flare being sent up into the sky. If the Reapers are looking in the right direction they will sense Archon magic and investigate if not good for us. The more portals are created the greater risk that the Reapers will see and this will also upset the balance of the zone. The zone is a perfect closed system. This means that we could exist in it for ever, theoretically until something so catastrophic happens that the world is re-written; when the Reapers get the Creation Stone for example.
We have very little resources. No Dragon Circles exist that are working, we have no Earth or Celestial Circle in which to identify or resurrect, and the zone prevents any from walking out of its borders, this means that portals are the only option. We as those who are willing to fight for Valdanis and those we love who were trapped on the outside must make a decision together wither to or to not use the portals. There are others who were also rescued by Altavius that live in this zone. Our actions have far reaching consequences and cannot be made on the whim or by one without informing the others. I understand that some of us have children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and lovers on the outside but, we must reach a consensus as to when to strike.
I am uncertain as to if I will be able to get back to help for the next Market Day but, I believe that we should make some sort of decision before anyone goes off on their own. If anyone has anything that they would like to add please do so, in this situation it is extremely important that we share what information we have and unify to save not only Valdanis but, all lands within the mist.
Sincerely,
Sera Liddia FallingStar
