You exclaim, "Okay, I think we can probably get started. Thank you all for joining me here this evening!" Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Allye. Illiya says to Allye, "I would, too." Allye chortles softly at some secret joke. Sothios asks, "Ya sayin i have ugly feet?" Imroth lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for you! Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at you. Kerennya waves to Tirost. Sothios squints at Elore. Elurora quietly says to Gridaksma, "I think Allye might actually be a mermaid." Elore says to Sothios, "Shh, it's starting." Illiya looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf! Zynell glances at Sothios. Gridaksma nods to Elurora. Linkwurst asks, "Are you the one that arranged the return of the Heart constellation?" Illiya beams at Allye! Elore casually observes the area. Linkwurst peers quizzically at you. Mistanna says to Elurora, "Purrmaid." Allye winks at Elurora. Elurora furrows her brow. Allye giggles at Mistanna. You say to Linkwurst, "No, that was not me." Tirost chuckles at Mistanna. Imroth says, "Liraxes did that." Kerennya says to Elurora, "Purr...you know, for being a Prydaen." Allye nods to Imroth. You say, "I wasn't actually present at the time, but yes, Liraxes appears to have done something with the crystal machine west of Crossing to accomplish that." Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Kerennya. Allye giggles at Kerennya. Kerennya winks at Allye. Elurora asks Kerennya, "Oh, it's a pun then?" Linkwurst says, "Well, it was a welcome change." Kerennya says to Elurora, "That would be my guess." Imroth smirks at Anuril. Elurora gives Kerennya a slight nod. Elurora grins at Kerennya. Umptiskrunk says, "Ump was there." Anuril pointedly ignores Imroth. Elurora quietly says to Kerennya, "Puns confuse me." Ryeka nods to Umptiskrunk. Leilanie nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. You say, "And speaking of crystal... Perhaps I'll use that as a starting point for the visions to discuss tonight." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Elurora cocks her head at you. Vashner grins at Echosong. Umptiskrunk says, "Crystal-guy said "Just a test." but Ump thinks it was maybe more." You say, "I blinked in surprise as a pillar of fire appeared in the sky, slowing the descent of a tower of crystal. It crashed into the middle of a field, burning trees and grass to fine ash and melting the dirt to a glassy slag. The ground snapped and popped as it cooled, and the crystal tower began to shift, rotating and bending, bristling with extensions that wound into the soil, shattering stone." You say, "After a flurry of activity, the tower began to slow and pulsed brightly with a blue light. The vision faded." Elurora furrows her brow. Ryeka nods to you. Tirost smiles at Elore. Karthor scratches his head. Elizzibiana gazes intently into her sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface. Elurora quietly says, "Huh, sounds a bit like Liraxes' machine or what I'd picture it like." Nevali sniffles. Nevali says, "Star people landing." Linkwurst says, "In there just pordering his ord." Kethrai says, "But Liraxes' machine is already on the ground." Linkwurst coughs. Linkwurst says, "Orb." Ryeka leans over and scratches Nevali's back. Elurora says to Kethrai, "True." You ask, "If it is the machine, possibly getting rebuffed from the Heralds up in the sky?" Elore taps a sanowret crystal set in a golden brooch that she is wearing. Imroth says, "I have seen some Moon Mage created crystal towers recently." Imroth says, "Not.. big and crashing to the ground." Elurora quietly asks Imroth, "Do they fall from the sky?" Linkwurst nods to Imroth. Elurora nods to Imroth. Imroth chuckles. Elore waves to Nevali. Kethrai says, "It sounds like the pillar of fire was intentional? Slowing its descent. And it landed intact." Imroth says, "Everything falls from the sky with moonies." Tirost nods to Kethrai. Umptiskrunk turns the blue bowtie about his neck for a moment. Elurora chuckles at Imroth. You say, "Yes, whatever happened, it didn't seem to visibly damage the crystal tower. The area around its landing spot doesn't seem to be so lucky, however." Elurora nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Gridaksma says, "Perhaps his device is a beacon rather than something to clear up the sky." With clear, ringing notes, a lute rises out from the weaving measures of the piece to perform a strong rendition of the main melody bare of all flourishes and embellishments. Tirost says to you, "The extensions that came from the tower seemed to allow it to take root in its new location." Mistanna says, "Well, crystal tower makes me think of Shard... but the rest..." Anuril gets a blackwood pipe painted with a ring of fire around the bowl from inside his silk backpack. Kerennya nods at Mistanna, obviously agreeing with her views. Anuril puts his tobacco in his blackwood pipe. Anuril touches some World's Dusk tobacco with a glowing finger, and it quickly catches fire. Ryeka ponders. You say, "This could be part of the process of whatever it's supposed to do against the Heralds, or perhaps failing on the first attempt and trying again, or it could be some additional aspect of it that Liraxes hasn't chosen to share." Anuril takes a long drag off of his blackwood pipe. Anuril exhales slowly and without rush, allowing the almost purplish smoke to escape his lungs. The deep scent of the air before a rain surrounds you, permeated by a hint of rosemary and sage. A dragon's vague outline can be briefly seen in the vapors before dissipating, leaving behind a haze of darkness reminiscent of an eternal night. Mistanna nods to you. Elurora quietly says, "He ain't big on sharing." Ryeka chuckles. Ryeka nods in agreement. Casari says, "Could be a foothold for Liraxes's kind." Ryeka says, "But at least he doesn't throw temper tantrums either." Kethrai says, "Or it could be star-people. The last visitor from the stars was crystalline too." You say, "Perhaps there are other crystal structures currently up in the sky that we simply can't see yet." Elurora gazes upward. Umptiskrunk nods to Kethrai. Tirost asks, "Have we ever asked Liraxes about the Involuted Passage? Does he have any association with it?" Karthor asks Kethrai, "They probly still don't have permission though, eh?" Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Tirost chuckles at Karthor. Kethrai says to Karthor, "We've got Greater Concepts working peacefully with Moon Mages, who knows what the rules are any more." You say, "Let's see... That might be one of the more pleasant visions for the night, unfortunately. At least it was only an empty field that got destroyed." Karthor nods to Kethrai. You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Ryeka nods to you. Elurora cocks her head at you. You ask, "Next, let's see... Why don't we go with another appearance of the figures in golden plate?" You say, "Ash and shadow choked my throat and vision as a fetid wind howled, pressing me back. I blindly groped forward, squinting against the gale, coughing and retching. Bits of rot spattered against my face, squirming into my mouth, and I gagged, struggling to stay upright. Something enormous moved slowly to my right, its many legs slowly undulating as it moved past me, casting brilliant beams of light that carved the land and left knurls of bone in their wake." You say, "Something gripped my shoulder and pulled me back, and a figure clad in golden plate stepped forward, a massive shield leaving a swath of clear, quiet air in its wake. The figure turned to me and grinned, and the vision faded." Elore gazes at you. You say, "They are back to grinning, at least." Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Illiya grins at you, her dimples flashing into view. Ryeka says, "And helpful." Karthor says, "Aye, an' he didn't even get obliterated that time." Imroth says, "Yikes that one is gross." Kethrai says, "The many-legged creature of rot is one from previous visions..." Illiya asks, "The figures in golden plate are usually related to the Bulwark?" Imroth nods to Illiya. You say to Illiya, "That's what we think, anyway." You say to Kethrai, "And yes, the slug like... thing." Vashner strokes his stubble in thoughtful contemplation. Imroth mutters something into the air about getting some golden plate. Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Karthor mutters something into the air about Slug Thing. Mistanna says, "Visions can be a curse sometimes. We can experience some pretty horrible things." Illiya asks, "Do we know what the slug thing is?" Ryeka ponders. Meserios tugs at the tip of his beard distractedly. You say, "Now apparently even more dangerous, with those multiple beams of light carving through the land." Tirost shakes his head at Illiya. You say to Illiya, "My guess would be something demonic in nature. But beyond that..." Illiya nods to you. Imroth nods to you. Imroth says, "Reminds me of necromancer centipedes." Umptiskrunk ponders. Umptiskrunk ponders. Ryeka says, "I did consider gigantic lachmates- they're rather sluggy, and cursed. But I can't swear to that." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Imroth says, "I always enjoy when the boys in gold show up in visions." You say, "The next vision... somewhat follows along the pattern of visions that have featured craftspeople of various sorts. But, a bit more disturbing." Ryeka smiles at Imroth, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Umptiskrunk asks, "Is the Immortals, yes?" Elurora quietly says, "Some of them might be girls." Imroth nods. Umptiskrunk says, "Ump always put gold together with gods." Umptiskrunk nods. Imroth says, "The.. folks." You say, "A man inspected a tall glass tank filled with a murky green fluid and replaced several tubes with different connections. Several large mechanical pistons pumped and hissed, injecting fuming gases into the tank, and the liquid churned wildly. The man watched the reaction proceed. After a while, a precipitate of deepest black that sparkled with specks of starlight began to trickle along an extraction tube, dripping into a crystal flask. The man smirked to himself." Ryeka smiles at Umptiskrunk, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. You say, "After some time, a hand slapped the inside of the tank, though the man did not react. The hand withdrew, and the vision faded." Kethrai frowns. Ryeka blinks. Karthor scratches his head. Zalinyar frowns. Elurora says, "Weird." Ryeka says, "Oooookay......." You say, "The nature of what he was extracting from the tank makes me think it involves Lunar magic in some fashion." Tirost frowns. You say, "The specks of starlight in the precipitate." Aerilia furrows her brow. Imroth ponders. Tirost asks, "The hand slapping the tank seems ominious. Was something trapped inside?" Kerennya asks, "Didn't we have a vision kind of like that before?" Elurora asks, "Could have to do with all the people still trapped maybe and whatever they're doing with them?" Kethrai asks, "If the tank was filled with fluid, but something living inside it had a hand, a Merelew maybe?" Imroth asks, "Could this be the Herald juice?" Illiya says to Kerennya, "I thought so too.." Meserios ponders. Karthor nods to Kerennya. With clear, ringing notes, a tambourine rises out from the weaving measures of the piece to perform a strong rendition of the main melody bare of all flourishes and embellishments. Kerennya nods. You say to Kerennya, "I'm not sure off hand which one you're thinking of." Vashner chortles softly at some secret joke. Imroth asks, "The people in the Null Prison weren't held in liquid were they?" Kethrai shakes his head at Imroth. Ryeka says, "We weren't." Mistanna shakes her head at Imroth. Imroth shrugs. You say, "Though the liquid could represent something else." Kerennya says to you, "From that night you did the predictions on a bunch of us before you were...taken. But I'll see if I can dig it up." Ryeka nods to you. Kystrk says, "If I were to extract starlight from someone or something I'd start with a Trader." Kystrk says, "For the sake of conversation." Mistanna asks you, "How old is that vision?" Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Elurora gazes off into the distance. Illiya asks Kerennya, "Was it the one with a chemist with a bunch of tubes of liquid?" Elurora beams! You say, "Within the last week." Elurora takes a sip of her chai. You say to Illiya, "Ah, yes." Imroth says, "Urrem'tier's stinger was dipped in liquid starlight." Kystrk asks, "Is Liraxes' construct in this plane comprised of starlight?" Kerennya says to Illiya, "I think so." Karthor asks, "There's been imagery o' the immortals drippin' with starlight lately too. I s'pose that bit could relate to divinity. Weren't the Dragon Priests claimin' to be up to somethin' in that direction?" Karthor scratches his head. Illiya says to Kerennya, "It reminded me of that one too." You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation. Kerennya nods. Anuril puffs away on his blackwood pipe. Imroth says, "Been a few liquid night sky instances." Imroth scratches his head. You say, "That's true. Though if the starlight is something like Urrem'tier's venom, I imagine this has got to be a very metaphorical vision. I doubt anyone is trapping an Immortal in a literal glass tank." Imroth nods. Kethrai says, "Assuming it's the one trapped and not the one trapping." Imroth says, "Maybe it's strong glass." Kystrk nods. You nod to Kethrai. Imroth says, "Or maybe it is a healing tank." Imroth says, "Some sort of spa." You say to Kethrai, "True. It could have something to do with whatever plan the Immortals are enacting." Aerilia ponders. Zalinyar asks, "Some new startlight people infused booze?" Kystrk says, "Not sure, looks pretty off the books there." Umptiskrunk exclaims, "Ump loves new booze!" Imroth exclaims to Zalinyar, "I'll take one!" Zalinyar nods to Imroth. Ryeka grins at Umptiskrunk, her dimples flashing into view. Zalinyar grins at Imroth, her dimples flashing into view. Anuril takes a long drag off of his blackwood pipe. Elore smiles. Linkwurst blinks. You say, "Let's see... I'll try to keep this moving, because I'm also going to want to ask if people can share any other sorts of visions they've seen recently, because I know there have been some." You say, "So, for the next vision..." You say, "A young girl sat at a serene pool fed by a gentle waterfall, ruby- and pearl-speckled koi swam languidly in the crystal waters. The girl tilted her head and smiled, stirring the water gently with her hand. A brave fish approached, gasping at the surface, hoping to be fed, and the girl cradled the fish's belly. With a quick twist, the girl lifted the fish from the water and inhaled sharply. The koi erupted with light and decayed into a pile of ash." You say, "The girl spread the ash over the surface of the pool, and several koi picked at it hungrily. The vision faded." Leilanie takes a long drag off of a burning silver-banded cigar. Ryeka blinks. Karthor scratches his head. Kerennya tilts her head, clearly curious about something. Anuril raises an eyebrow. Kethrai ponders. Vashner smirks. Elizzibiana says, "Huh, reverse dragons breath sans spit." Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Vashner whispers something to Echosong. Echosong grins at Vashner. You say, "I'm not sure exactly what we're looking at there... it could be someone sacrificing themselves to help others. It could be something toying with less powerful beings..." Imroth says, "That's got to be Heralds sucking the life out of.. life." Ryeka exclaims, "I've no idea what to make of that!" Leilanie takes a long drag off of a burning silver-banded cigar. Leilanie exhales a stream of smoke, which transforms into the image of an oval. Leilanie sends a lopsided ball of smoke into the center of the oval and a lumpy figure tumbles out of the opposite side. Echosong whispers something to Vashner. Imroth says, "Strange way to eat fish, though." Vashner asks, "Isn't the fish something to do with Eluned?" Ryeka nods in agreement. Meserios says, "The sacrifice wasn't a willing one." Vashner folds his arms across his chest. Umptiskrunk says, "Ump gobble food all the time. Not breathe in food." Kethrai says, "The pond is familiar from a previous vision too." You say to Imroth, "If it's eating, it probably involved something other than the flesh actually being consumed." Imroth says, "The belly cradle though." Imroth nods to you. Leilanie takes a long drag off of a burning silver-banded cigar. Karthor says, "An' the other fish just...went ahead an' ate the fish-ash." Tirost ponders. Karthor acts puzzled. Ryeka says, "Eluned is a sea goddess, and fish are an acceptable sacrifice." Elurora takes a sip of her chai. Linkwurst drools. Aerilia says, "It doesn't strike me as inherently.. bad. Assuming the ash was acrually nurishing to the other koi." Vashner says, "There's the whole shrine north of Kaerna.. I've heard one transforms into one there." Ryeka says, "But that vision isn't Eluned." Umptiskrunk says, "Ump knows cycle of life." Umptiskrunk nods. Linkwurst hugs his sandstone bowl, protecting it with his body. Linkwurst gazes into his bowl, his hand moving around its lip for a full circle. He dips his fingers into the water, then raises them above the bowl and watches the water slowly drip back into it. Vashner waves dismissively. Kethrai asks Anuril, "If all the aether were removed from a living thing, might something like that happen?" You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation. Anuril ponders. Tirost says, "The koi get to swim in the crystal pool. It's beautiful, but they are ultimately kept by the girl." Echosong whispers something to Vashner. Vashner says, "Ignore me. I'm new to visions and they're mostly riddles beyond that. Making sense of them is what interests me." Ryeka smiles at Vashner, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Anuril says to Kethrai, "It can't be done to living things, though." Tirost says, "The koi act naturally, looking for food, and the girl uses the first and bravest to feed the rest - or at least represent feeding the rest." Umptiskrunk says to Vashner, "Lots symblism. Ump have trouble with it sometimes, too." Tirost runs his fingers through his hair. Umptiskrunk says to Vashner, "It be okay, guy." Elurora quietly says to Vashner, "Me three." Vashner tips his cowl to Umptiskrunk with a courteous nod. Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Casari. Elurora takes a sip of her chai. Kethrai says to Anuril, "Hrm. But the girl in the vision was inhaling. Taking something away from the fish, not adding something." Echosong glances outside a moment. Anuril nods to Kethrai. Linkwurst gazes heavenwards expectantly, but lowers his eyes unfulfilled. Imroth nods. Umptiskrunk says, "Ump agree about girl keeping fish. It girl's pool, girl use fish however she want." Kethrai says, "Maybe the fish was an elemental." Aerilia smiles quickly. You say, "Yes, the fish could potentially represent all sorts of different things, depending on just what is actually happening." You chuckle. Umptiskrunk says, "Ump not big fan of being "kept." Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration. Umptiskrunk frowns. Kethrai says to you, "But, do you recall the other vision I was talking about? It may have been in notes from one of the meetings you, er... missed..." Imroth asks, "Ash would imply they burned. Some sort of metaphysical fire that she consumed?" Kerennya scratches Tirost's storm-grey cat. Imroth says, "This is beyond me." Kethrai says, "A garden with koi ponds... Protea blossoms too, I think." Tirost smiles at Kerennya. You nod to Kethrai. Kerennya smiles at Tirost. You say, "Yes, I recall that vision." Mistanna asks, "Don't warrior mages have a skill that turns what they are holding into ash?" Karthor says, "Oh, the garden on a ship thing? Tha'was strange too." Linkwurst gazes heavenwards expectantly, but lowers his eyes unfulfilled. Tirost nods to Mistanna. Zalinyar says, "It's a cantrip called flash point." Zalinyar nods to Mistanna. Anuril nods to Zalinyar. You say, "The garden was pretty expansive, so I don't think it's impossible for this pool to be in the same place." Zalinyar says, "But we have to be holding an object. We can't burn animals as far as I know." Tirost thoughtfully says to Karthor, "Hmmm... I'd forgotten about that one." Karthor looks at Tirost and shrugs. Elore leans on Nevali. Kethrai asks Zalinyar, "You could go to the food tree after and check?" You say, "Now, there's one more vision that I've recently seen to go over..." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Vashner whispers something to Echosong. Zalinyar says, "I could go catch a fish and see if I can burn it." Echosong looks at Vashner and shrugs. You say, "A group of individuals walked through bizarre and foreign ruins, carefully stepping between architecture of the sort I had never seen. Tall crumbling arches of a pale red stone revealed reinforcing rods of a dark metal that, while bent and weakened, did not show signs of rust. Moss covered squat, bulbous structures with short wide doorframes and circular windows, and leaf-strewn roads were covered in branches and the occasional animal corpse. The group scattered, seeking trinkets and valuables, and after rummaging through the dead buildings, they spread their findings atop a thick canvas sheet." You say, "A young man fiddled with a bauble and suddenly screamed, his fingers falling to the ground in a bloody spray as the bauble began to spin in midair. The group ran for cover, and the vision faded." Elurora bows to Gridaksma. Elurora bows. Elurora just left. Ryeka blinks. Elizzibiana snickers. Aerilia ponders. Elore grins at Nevali. You say, "The lesson about being careful when messing around with things you don't understand is clear enough, but I don't recognize anything about the area it took place in." Mistanna asks, "Hot potato?" Karthor says, "Hm, so there'll be fingers to replace in the future." Karthor jots down some notes. Tirost nods to you. Ryeka says, "Ruins of some sort." Ryeka ponders. Imroth says, "Ruins, but the animal corpse would imply they are recent." Kystrk says, "Looks like a dystopian Arthe Dale." Kethrai asks, "The metal rods being bent and weakened, but no signs of rust... Failed from heat, maybe?" Kystrk says, "Doesn't explain the strange metal." You say to Imroth, "Or perhaps the animals came across other dangerous trinkets." Ryeka nods to Kystrk. Anuril nods to you. Umptiskrunk glances outside a moment. Imroth says, "A sudden and extreme destruction." Imroth says, "Sudden isn't right.. recent." Ryeka says, "I probably ought to check the Greater Fist area. There was a moon mage outpost there, and volcanoes." Aerilia ponders. Imroth says, "No time to rust or have bodies rot." Vashner ponders. Aerilia says, "Maybe. It was overgrown with flora, so it could have been long ruined." Kethrai asks, "But if it was a volcano that did it, the lava flows should be recognizable?" You say, "It could also be that the metal is something that doesn't rust, since I didn't recognize specifically what it was." Vashner says, "Was there? I had no idea..." Ryeka nods to Aerilia. Mistanna gestures. A swirling vortex of shadows draws itself from the ground and coalesces into a black Moongate, which yawns open like a hungry maw. Kerennya peers through the Moongate. Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Vashner scratches distractedly at his stubble. Imroth says, "Sudden plant growth is the Heralds specialty." Umptiskrunk says, "Ump have to go. But, had good time. Do this again for sure." Umptiskrunk waves. Umptiskrunk went through a black Moongate. Mistanna waves. Mistanna salutes before turning and wandering off to find some rest. Anuril gets a primrose chamois cloth from inside his silk backpack. Anuril taps a blackwood pipe painted with a ring of fire around the bowl that he is holding. You say, "But I guess if you find yourself in a place with architecture that looks like that... watch what you touch." Anuril uses his chamois cloth to meticulously clean his blackwood pipe. Ryeka nods to you. Elizzibiana asks you, "Dark metal, darkstone maybe?" Karthor says, "An' bring spare fingers." Elore grins at Karthor. Imroth chuckles. Elore gazes down at her hands. Meserios says, "Aye, was the bauble just a dangerous artifact, or a deterrant protecting something else about the ruins." Ryeka says, "That bauble reminded me of the Gorbesh battle spheres." Tirost chuckles at Elore. Linkwurst says, "I still have a couple extra hands in my vault." Linkwurst nods. Imroth exclaims, "Mini Gorbesh sphere!" Ryeka grins at Linkwurst, her dimples flashing into view. Imroth beams! Imroth says, "I want one." Ryeka grins at Imroth, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost nods to Aerilia. You ask, "Now, those aside... It's my understanding that moon mages who were present when Liraxes did.... whatever revealed the Heart in the sky experienced some visions at the time. Was anyone here there for that, and willing to speak to it?" Tirost grins at Elore. Tirost nods in agreement. Ryeka says, "I did hear about it on the gweth- a moon mage talking about how beautiful it was to see The Heart." Illiya grins at Imroth, her dimples flashing into view. Ryeka says, "But not the specifics of the vision." You say, "Yes, it's certainly nice to see at least one constellation in the sky again." Tirost nods to you. Ryeka nods to you. Linkwurst nods. You say, "Well, if nobody here was around for that, I'm sure I'll be able to track someone down before long to ask." You grin. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Aerilia says to you, "I know Avrenka was there when it happened. You might ask him sometime." Anuril dryly says, "Must have been after I left." You nod to Aerilia. Ryeka says, "I'm the wrong guild anyway." Illiya says to Anuril, "'left'." Ryeka whistles a merry tune. Kethrai gently smacks Anuril across the waist with his tail! Anuril nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views. Illiya grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost glances at Anuril. Tirost sighs. You ask, "Now, this is not moon mage specific, and I think may apply more to the past than to the future... but I hear that Unaka was sharing visions of some sort with people? Did anyone here experience those?" Ryeka raises her hand. You nod to Ryeka. Ryeka says, "It was intense." Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Illiya nods. Ryeka says, "Several visions- most of which seem to show the Races growing and making civilizations under the guidance of Truffenyi." You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation. Ryeka says, "And some showing- beings- tearing at the roots of a great tree and drinking the liquid." You say, "Interesting. Visions from the Immortals do seem to be a bit more... direct than much of what we experience from the Web of Fate." Elore gives a slight nod. Tirost joins Aerilia's group. Ryeka says, "The consensus seems to be that the Heralds are trying to get at the life force of Elanthia." Ryeka ponders. Anuril quietly says to you, "It's called propaganda." Ryeka says, "The mana, I should say." Vashner ponders. Tirost says, "One of the most interseting was Saragos's. He saw three who lived in oppulence offering a drink to the visionary. Each sip caused the world to tremble and the three only laughed." Ryeka nods to Tirost. Tirost says, "The visionary refused the drink, was turned into a small creature, and swatted away." You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation. Illiya closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance. Zynell says, "Threw it in their face, not just refused." Zynell giggles. Imroth nods. Aerilia nods to Tirost. Tirost bows to you. Tirost says, "Take care, everyone." Knight of Meraud Tirost drifts southwest. You exclaim, "Okay, well then, I think that covers everything I had to go over!" Kethrai says, "The trouble with those visions is that they seem to directly contradict the earlier visions we received from Elanthia herself." Aerilia bobs a brief, respectful bow. Illiya says, "Thank you Miskton." Zalinyar says, "Thanks for hosting." Imroth exclaims, "If you don't drink the starlight fish ash, then you will be crushed like bug!" Illiya nods in agreement. Zalinyar curtsies. Illiya chuckles at Imroth. You say, "Thank you all for coming. I'll give you some time to head up north, if anyone is going to observe the Northern Watch gauntlet run."
