Updated information:
Mists Creation/Fracturing of the Empire/ Plan to fix the fracturing.
Terran (his actual name) was the leader of the Moon Blades at the time of the casting.
Arden was a member of the Order of Arden, observed the casting.
Whisperer, a user of all the forbidden magics, caused the backlash by forcing energy in the ritual. (Those who witnessed the vision, please give any additional information)
Planar locked
We have done the work required on Life and Stone.
Each time there were puzzles of a sort that involved destroying elementals to get pieces. And using those pieces to solve the puzzle. No direction is given.
The puzzle needs to be solved both on the elemental plane, and on Eloria. but not necessarily at the same time. If you solve an elemental plane, please communicate the solution as thus far the puzzles have been identical.
Locking out the planes will also weaken Whisperer, for the inevitable showdown that is coming.
Recovery of Assets form Arden
Gideon can now do this without needing the Puzzlemaster.
We retrieved King Klaus, more on that later.
The Syndicate
More than just Necromancers. Not necessarily trust worthy, but still investigating.
The PuzzleMaster
Recovered a powerful artifact from his, 'not a prison™' with the help of some adventurers. He has created a pocket for himself in the Mist and crafted a small tower for himself, with Earnest as well.
New information:
The Undead Elven King
I do not know the details, but there was some trouble in a forest, the adventurers stirred more up, then dealt with it.
There was some backlash with the town being invaded, but was dealt with by the adventurers.
There was a magical artifact that rifted away from the adventurers, presumably by the Elven King or his retinue. Unsure if that was retrieved.
The Fortune Teller.
Her name is Lola and she's colorful. If she comes in again, pay the 3 silver and get your fortune told. It's very much worth it.
Dryad Library
There is a library somewhere that Contract Apocalypse took over. The previous owner, Fiver, wants it back. They taught forbidden magic there.
Fancy's Mystic Children
There was some sort of a boat assault involving bombs.
Wooden Coins
Can be used to make Magic Items. Gideon is still buying them (shocker right?)
Mist Moving Bones
Saro is attempting to collect bones of some creature that can move the mist. I would like to vision the skull at the next gathering to try and see the person it was before they died.
Kestrel
A member of the librarians. Seemed to be giving out ritual scrolls for free, something about "spreading knowledge." Does anyone know the limitations to this arrangement?
The Portal
The portal goes anywhere if you have the right key, and it is what makes our particular Mist pocket so valuable. Syndicate Necromancers wanted control over it previously, and most other organizations who know about it, want access.
The Empire has a similar portal. (CONJECTURE: Easy access to travel would allow them to take over and maintain control such a vast area.)
Terran, of the Moon Blades, had a seat at the council of the Empire. Found the portal in our mist pocket before the Empire knew of it, and set forth the casting of the ritual that obfuscated the area in order to keep it out of the Empires control. So they would not have a monopoly on travel in the land. (more on that later)
Change in Management
With Klous being retrieved from Arden, he was asked/tasked to lead control the adventurers by the adventurers that retrieved him. Lord something something SunSeeker met with Klous roughly 90 seconds after he came out of the portal onto Eloria, some preliminary negotiations were discussed. And they left together.
Later that night, a treaty was signed where Klous would have a small Kingdom of Roefield (not sure that's spelled right) and would pay taxes to the Empire. Lord SunSeeker would be granted control over our mist pocket (if you haven't been paying attention, that's a bad thing)
The adventurers will continue to gather where they have been as the Kingdom of Roefield will not have room.
OPINION: Many have complained that Klous is not taking the adventurers in. He was a bit blindsided by this whole thing, and in abotu 12 hours showed up in the Empire, said 'give me lands' and was granted them. He needs to secure his base a bit before just showing up and starting a revolution. I'm sure Klous recognizes the strategic value of both adventurers, and the current location. I'm told Klous was a fair ruler, so I'm sure he has excellent knowledge of how difficult a time Sunseeker will have trying to govern adventurers. If we don't want the Empire in control of us longterm, we need to start now. When Klous asks for help, which I'm sure he will. Help him. If Klous is a great of a king as many have said he is, I would give him the benefit of the doubt, and a little time.
The big thing is we don't want the Empire fortifying the area, and seizing control over the Portal. Armies don't move well in the mist, I'm guessing they move pretty well through a portal. Devious compliance is the name of the game until Klous has secured himself. If Sunseeker doesn't know about the portal yet, and we aren't 100% sure he knows where it is, don't tell him where it is. He probably knows its in the area, but that's much different than, "right there"
Starting now, I suggest an overall code of silence regarding the portal while in public. Stop licking it.
Stormhaven
The adventurers are going to try a move Stormhaven onto Klous' new lands so he will have more resources to get started.
I know a lot more has happened. Something about fish people and breathing underwater?
What else did people do/learn?
