Fall of the Temple Seldarine

**Maddux** · 28th March 2006, 10:52 PM

Eowyna’s arrival at Skara Brae spread through the town like a wild fire, instilling hope and courage once more into the survivor’s of the great betrayal. Upon hearing of Eowyna’s return, Maddux quickly made his way to Skara Brae Inn. A multitude of ideas and thoughts were racing through Maddux’s mind. Is Eowyna ok? Is there anything that can be done? Those thoughts were interrupted as the Inn Keeper pointed down the hall “She is in our best room.” Maddux nods and says “Thank you” And walks down the hall. Pausing outside Eowyna’s room checks his appearance and knocks on the door “Its Maddux.” From inside the room, Eowyna replies “Please come inside.”

Maddux entered the room and quickly laid his eyes on his Eowyna. Without anything being said, Maddux knew that their child had been lost without any words being exchanged between the two. Maddux and Eowyna both walked into each’s others arms and began to weep. Some time went by, before either of them released their grasp on one and another. Tears dripping from their eyes, Eowyna and Maddux tried concentrating on the matter of organizing and taking care of the survivors. A green glowing rune and some old and dusty elven preserved volumes. One of the volumes was open to a page of Fenmarel as a wolf. Maddux focus his attention towards that picture. Maddux smiles “Steganography...” Eowyna gives Maddux a puzzled look. Maddux says “Steganography is the art of writing a hidden message that no one but the intended recipient knows of the exsistenance of the message. In this the case the message is a map.” Eowyna comes closer and Maddux points out the map to her. Maddux I do not know where this location is, but we can find it. First thing to do is send scouts to that location on the rune.” Eowyna nods in agreement. Maddux with a concerned look on his face, “The only scouts we have are the children.”

Braaka the Orc scout stealth’s through the town of Skara Brae. Thinking to himself, The big War Boss wants to know what these hummies are up to and what others tricks they have hidden. No walls or barricades have been erected. Only lightly armored rangers mixed with the dreaded Justicars, but that evil ship The Duchess has not come to port, yet. The rest of the Orc scouts moved through the streets of Skara Brae taking notes of the layout of the town and its ill prepared defenses.

Eowyna looked at Maddux “But they are children, and they have been through so much.” Maddux says “Yes we all have been through a lot. Hope for our future lays within the hands of the children. We need them to go out and see if they locate this place on Fenmarel’s map. A few of the remaining Justicars we have, will accompany you to the location on the rune. As much as I wish to hold you and keep you safe, Fenmarel has chosen you to go to this place.” Eowyna nods in agreement. Maddux holds Eowyna’s hand “The remainder of us will hold this city till we hear from you. The older of the children will form small groups and try to locate this place on the map.” Confidence and reassurance flowed from each other’s hand and together they both knew that anything was possible together. A glimmer of hope was born and soon began to spread throughout Skara Brae.

Eowyna Rohanna · 2nd April 2006, 09:45 AM

Eowyna watched the bright moonlight of the double full moons of Felucca and Trammel streaming through the windows of the Skara Brae Inn. She was exhausted, but sleep eluded her. Instead, she studied the man sleeping next to her. The fresh wound on his shoulder looked raw and painful. Very carefully, so as not to wake him, she touched her fingers to the wound and whispered "In Vas Mani". There, that would be a little better in the morning. But there would be a scar--another one, one of many. She let her fingers linger a little, lightly. He stirred a little and she quickly drew back. She just wanted to watch him; if she slept, she couldn't see him. For tomorrow she would leave him again and that was the last thing she wanted, but there seemed to be no other choice. And so she just watched for as long as the moonlight lasted.

Morning light found her standing in a place she'd never have thought possible. Accompanied by the justicar, Ann, the master-crafter, Feanor, and a group of younger children, Eowyna had stepped through the gate created with the rune given her by the wolf. This place was obviously the home of a different culture than the Sosaria of her experience. The architecture was beautiful and elegant, but strange to her eyes. And the people--were human. She took an inadvertent step backwards; she would never again look upon humans without fear. But she resolved to train herself not to show it. The city was foreign indeed.

Eowyna turned to the children. "I want you to stealth through the city and bring me all the information you can as to the layout of the city. Listen to the people talk, so that you may tell me what and how they think. I see no harm here for us, but take no risks. Just gather information." The children left to follow her request.

Ann looked about, "Eowyna, are we meant to be here? This place is not elven."

"No, it certainly isn't. But Fenmarel gave me the rune to this place..he must have meant for us to come here. We need a home, and this must be where we will find it."

Feanor: "I will do a little checking as well, Eowyna. Perhaps in the crafters halls there will be contacts I can make."

And so the small elven party began to assemble information and make contacts among the humans of Zento. The Imperial Trade Minister proved to be most helpful, agreeing to provide buildings for an Elven Enclave in Zento in exchange for goods of fine elven craftsmenship. Trade concessions were negotiated and shipping priviledges granted by the Zento port authority. And slowly a home was built. Yet no word arrived from Skara Brae. Eowyna waited.

**Maddux** · 13th April 2006, 07:43 PM

The oldest of the orphans were brought to the Skara Brae Community Center and were seperated into seven groups of four. The groups were composed of two males and two females. The Elven Healer Starex gave each of them a minthril chain with minthril wolf pendant, “Safe Guard this pendant, for it is how we will find you.” The Orphans and the few Justicars there watched and listened to the Healer intently. “Some of you will travel to another shard and search for Exiles of Gondolin and Elven Artifacts, but there are dangers.” Starex looks at his audience for any sign of fear amongst the crowd, and found none. Starex looks at the group “At this precise time, we have no way to communicate with any of you nor bring any of you back.” Maddux steps out of the shadows “Some of you may not return, but it is chance we must all take. The survival of the Quessir is depending upon all of us.” Maddux begins to pass out maps made from Fenmarel’s picture and a book to each of the groups “Do not lose this map; we do not know the location, nor what will be found there. The books are a history and customs of the Quessir and help aid you in your mission. Take a moment to say your goodbyes to one and another.”

Astalder and Debras son and daughter left their respective groups and walked over to each over to each and began to hug one and another. Aerial looked at her brother “We have lost so much these past few days, and now I will lose you too.” Kennereth said, “You will never lose me, for you will always be in your heart as you are in mine. Mom and Dad are here with us now, we will make them proud”

Starex glances at Maddux “Perhaps we can accommodate the brother and sister?” Maddux “No, if we fail they will not be able to return. Our failure should not mean that The Quessir becomes destroyed. The Quessir will live on, through them.” Starex nod’s in agreement. Maddux “They will live on and avenge us when it is time.”

After a few moments that felt like a lifetime, Maddux commands “Form up, it is time.” And the groups reformed into their respective groups. Starex opened a red gate and pointed at the nearest group and they single filed entered the gate. Starex handed each of the remaining groups a strange red, black and white medallion. “Your destinies are chosen. Good luck to each of you.” One by one the children began to disappear. In the distance “Orcs are in the perimeter!!!” Starex looks at at Maddux “Never a moment of peace.” Maddux grins, “Someday, there will be, but not today.”
