[Northeast Wilds, Grimsage Way]
The once pristine tower of the Warrior Mages is now no more than a memorial. The stresses of the great fire have shattered the crystalline spire. The building stands broken and raw against the sky. One onyx door tilts wildly to the side, its hinges melted to slag, while the other has been reduced to rubble. You also see an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a lush mimosa tree dappled with glowing pink blossoms, a fiery red setter puppy, a fluffy flame point kitten, a pink-checked cotton cloth with several things on it, a fluffy grey tabby kitten, a tiny chocolate brown kitten, a svelte alfar warrior, a pink-eared white piglet with a bright yellow shirt stitched with a chaotic rainbow of daisies on it, a tall fir tree and a landing area cordoned off by Musparan silk stanchion ropes.

Eyst asks Gragnel, "So where might you place the Heralds in the order of Everything?"

Kerennya says to Gragnel, "I do not dispute that. It simply seems that the Immortals and Herald-Guardian-Gardener-whoevers are now at cross-purposes with each other."

Crobin takes a bite of the sandwich.

Aislynn stretches her arms.

Phierre says, "Alright well.. time to go find snacks."

Phierre raises his hand in a quick salute.

Saragos says, "Sounds like the Heralds are having a rough time of it, but the Immortals have always been much more on our side. Asildu couldn't stop talking about how much the Heralds don't care about us, don't even understand us as individuals."

Crobin waves to Phierre.

Gragnel says to Aislynn, "Exactly, so let's worry about us and not all that heretical nonsense."

Doctor Phierre saunters west.

Sukidesu nibbles his lip thoughtfully.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Avrenka asks, "Question is ... when did the Guardians place the rules upon the Immortals? Is it recent within the past few years, or is it ages ago?"

Aislynn chuckles.

Gragnel takes a sip of his fizz.

Crobin clasps Leayne's hand tenderly and draws her into his arms.

Zalinyar says, "One Gurardian saved Lanival."

Aislynn quietly says to Gragnel, "It's hard to ignore the needs of an entire planet. Hard, and also stupid."

Calabra ponders.

Mistanna says, "Much to think on. Thank you for holding this gathering and sharing your visions with us."

Leayne nods to Zalinyar.

Larasa says to Avrenka, "Good qeustion."

Aislynn quietly says to Gragnel, "Especially when She is speaking so loudly."

Allye nods to Mistanna.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Kerennya gathers up a pink-checked cotton cloth and all the food it holds, stuffs the bundle into a silverwillow picnic basket, and closes the lid securely.

Gragnel ponders.

Leilanie nods in agreement.

Kerennya puts her basket in her mariner's rucksack.

Mistanna waves.

Stellar Statistician Urbaj strolls west.

Kethrai says to Avrenka, "If it was the Day Magic Died, it could explain why things are happening now, rather than eons in the past."

Trajan nods politely to Allye.

Leayne softly says, "Be well."

Ghust slowly empties his lungs.

Calabra hugs Shaylynne, getting a smile in return.

Allye waves to Calabra.

Gragnel says to Aislynn, "The Immortals have been speaking loudly as well. It has been well documented as of late."

Vaerek says, "If anyone would like a vision of their future I can oblige. It may or may not help."

Cateress Allye goes west.

Saragos says to Aislynn, "I don't think I heard anything about the needs of the planet in there. I heard about the needs of the Heralds."

Larasa shakes her fist!

Valynn nods.

Pyppa goes west.

Vaerek gasps!

Katriwen joins Calabra's group.

Kerennya mutters something into the air about need to talk to Waydren about this.

Zersha hugs Valynn, getting a smile in return.

Aislynn quietly asks Gragnel, "And there are many offering their support to Them, aren't there? Not just clerics, but all sorts of people. How many do you think are asking Elanthia what She needs right now?"

Illiya hugs Aislynn, who wraps her arms around Illiya with a warm smile.

Aislynn hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Aislynn smiles.

Strawberry Nurse Illiya goes west.

Ezerak says to Saragos, "It certainly sounded like the Heralds, at least."

Gragnel says, "Just a few weeks ago I saw Tamsine's avatar, quite a few people did."

Vaerek says to Crobin, "Very disturbing."

Gragnel takes a sip of his fizz.

Avrenka says to Kethrai, "I'm inclined to believe it was very recent ... around the time when our Wild research revealed to us the Font of Creation being stymied."

Saragos nods to Ezerak.

Crobin says, "Yes I agree."

Valynn asks Madigan, "Perhaps we will talk after the Watch meeting? Or before?"

Musical Enthusiast Kentara parades west.

Larasa nods to Gragnel.

Crobin says, "I am not sure what this means."

Crobin clasps Leayne's hand tenderly and draws her into his arms.

Madigan says to Valynn, "I think maybe before Val? But, I am open to whenever."

Aislynn ponders.

Valynn says to Madigan, "Before then."

Karthor peers at a svelte alfar warrior over the rim of his spectacles.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Avrenka says, "Perhaps ... this "boundaries and rules" that the Heralds imposed is what is causing their pure energy needs to be so high."

Valynn nods to Madigan.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Madigan nods to Crobin.

Aerilia looks thoughtfully at Avrenka.

Desert Dancer Zersha goes west, leading her group.

Valynn gazes thoughtfully at Avrenka.

Vaerek says to Crobin, "It is yours to ponder."

Avrenka says, "They are directly suppressing the Immortals, and it is requiring a vast amount of energy to do so."

Aislynn quietly says, "I think I need to bake something. Far too many mysteries in the world. Time for waffle-tsann."

Aislynn clicks her claws together.

Aislynn waves.

Crobin says, "And I shall thank you."

Ghust quietly says, "Yeah ahm totally wired with energy."

Saragos says to Ezerak, "Heralds, Guardians, whatever. I didn't hear anything about what the planet needs. Just what they need. I guess so far, I haven't heard anything that tells me why I should care about the Heralds' difficulties. Giving them pure mana seems to make our problems worse, and they treat us like ants."

Crobin shakes Vaerek's hand.

Madigan snaps to attention and hails Kethrai with a crisp hand salute.

Madigan grins at Kethrai.

Vaerek nods to Crobin.

Crobin hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Mooring Thread Aislynn patters west.

Ezerak nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.

Gragnel points at Saragos.

Valynn goes west.

Lexxa nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.

Aerilia says to Avrenka, "That is a curious thought. You may be onto something."

Gragnel says to Saragos, "I couldn't have said it better myself."

Kethrai sighs.

Eyst nods in agreement.

Intern Rhainn goes west.

Madigan says, "Anyone mind boiling that down in bullet points for me? That was...very dense."

Crobin hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Eyst says to Avrenka, "It is a compelling theory."

Karthor says, "All I know fer sure's that ZerraZap was no help again. Methinks I'm goin' to stop invitin' him to these."

Ghust quietly asks, "Soooooo......whats next?"

Zalinyar hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile.

Karthor peers at a svelte alfar warrior over the rim of his spectacles.

Zalinyar says, "We go melt waterfalls."

Kerennya says to Madigan, "I think most of us need some time to digest first to get to that point."

Madigan nods to Kerennya.

Leayne nods to Kerennya.

Gragnel says, "Faith in the Immortals has carried us through many hardships, they have given us clear direction."

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Madigan says, "That is...absolutely understandable."

Crobin gives Sothios a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles.

Aerilia waves to Crobin.

Leayne hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Crobin waves to Ghust.

Leayne waves.

Saragos says to Madigan, "My first take is that it's more of a clarification on what we've seen before. Guardians/Heralds need pure mana, made Gardeners. The Gardeners were flawed, drew in Sorcerous mana. The Immortals came along one day, didn't care about pure mana. Heralds were mad, put limits on them."

Zynell just hugged Lexxa.

Crobin says, "We are heading off for a bit."

Sothios nods to Zynell.

Sothios takes his rightful place beside Zynell.

Avrenka says, "It's clear now ... pure magic energy gives Heralds strength to suppress Immortals ... and sorcery magic energy gives Immortals strength to resist."

Zalinyar hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile.

Crobin says, "Here we go."

Crobin waves to Avrenka.

[General] Your mind hears Waydren thinking, "For those who wish to discuss that which we saw, let us meet at the River's Edge, in the Wilderness, west of the brook. The site of the Reveal ritual."

Hanryu nods to Saragos.

Larasa says, "Immortals are the latest iteration of "gardener" for the Heralds. The Heralds keep making gardeners that use mixed mana, which they don't like. They purge gardeners every so often but it seems like the Immortals have gotten too strong."

Crobin shakes Anuril's hand.

Madigan says to Saragos, "Alright. I can digest that. Thank you sir."

Avrenka waves to Crobin.

Aerilia nods to Avrenka.

Crobin shakes Hanryu's hand.

Saragos nods to Avrenka.

Nighthawk Raknur goes west.

Skraddarsy stands up.

Saragos grins at Madigan.

Crobin shakes Saragos's hand.

Hanryu says to Saragos, "That's my feelings on what I saw also."

Skraddarsy joins Zynell's group.

Sukidesu clasps Kayena's hand tenderly.

Fearless Crobin saunters west, leading his group.

Saragos says to Avrenka, "That sounds like it's probably right."

Doctor of Kittens Sukidesu shuffles west, leading his group.

Leilanie joins Zynell's group.

Karthor says, "Oy, didn't Asildu say the Heralds consider 'emselves Gardners? Methinks they're not the Guardians, but rather came from the Guardians."

Vaerek asks Saragos, "If Rangers and Empaths were able to weave their alike mana to hear a message then maybe Warrior mages and Bards should try and ask Elanthia for answers?"

Kethrai says to Larasa, "The Immortals came from elsewhere, and weren't created by the Guardians, though."

Purn joins Zynell's group.

Vaerek says to Saragos, "Just a thought."

Skraddarsy smiles at Zynell.

Zynell stands up.

Zynell carefully gathers up the delicate folds of a night-black starlight velvet prayer tapestry stitched with loimic and fey-bone.

Zynell puts her tapestry in her encompassing shadows.

Hanryu says to Saragos, "And I think that the way the guardians limited the Immortals might just have been by rewriting the laws of the plane of abiding. CHanging history so they didn't even notice the limits."

Karthor says, "Which'd make that orange dragon-lady from before a Guardian."

Casari says, "I'm... going to try something a little different, soon. I'll need Bards to help. It will be in Shard."

Larasa asks Kethrai, "Oh, where did they come from??"

Saragos says to Vaerek, "Bards can evoke the past. Might be they could do something like that. I don't think Warrior Mages have any special senses there. We've got Othersight, but that's something different."

Kethrai says to Larasa, "From where they are now -- the Spiritual Plane."

Gragnel exclaims, "Do not let your faith be shaken! Do no fall prey to the temptations of flase prophets!"

Gragnel sighs.

Avrenka says, "Here's another thought ... the Heralds are using the pure magic energy to shut the Planar Void, stifling the connection to the Divine Plane, Elemental Planes, and Plane of Probability."

Gragnel joins Zynell's group.

Gragnel nods to Zynell.

Leilanie nods at Skraddarsy, obviously agreeing with her views.

Firehawk Casari goes west.

Vaerek nods to Saragos.

Zynell quirks one ear sideways, glancing at Gragnel in confusion.

Larasa asks Kethrai, "So they are not a creation of the Heralds?"

Avrenka says, "They're trying to accomplish what they've always wanted ... a pure Elanthia without outsiders."

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Kethrai says, "If the myths are to be believed, they were created at the beginning of time by the One and the Void."

Avrenka says, "Maybe that's why the Bulwark is shaking so much."

Madigan gets a mug of roasted coffee from inside his traveler's pack.

Kethrai says, "But at the very least, in the vision we just saw, they were a new and outside influence. One of those very influences the Guardians didn't want to let in."

Saragos says to Avrenka, "Maaaybe. That's a good question whether they want to shut things to those other Planes."

Vaerek says, "I'm glad critters have swarmed us and certainly glad another town, clan, city or machine didn't get hit with a meteor."

[General] Your mind hears Illiya thinking, "Like right now?"

Vaerek says, "Haven't."

Vaerek sighs.

Madigan smiles at Vaerek.

Gragnel gazes off into the distance.

Vaerek says, "Ok, take care everyone."

Kerennya smiles at Vaerek.

Vaerek waves.

Larasa says to Kethrai, "Oh alright, sorry it is a lot."

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Kerennya waves.

Avrenka says to Kethrai, "Third vision implied the Guardians welcomed the Immortals to contain blights."

Vaerek strides west.

Kethrai nods to Larasa.

Skraddarsy nods to Zynell.

Kethrai says to Larasa, "It sure is."

Sothios nods to Zynell.

Kethrai says to Avrenka, "Yeah. It may be that they came to some kind of accord."

Soul Surgeon Zynell patters west, leading her group.

Kethrai ponders.

Larasa asks, "Did the Immortals not create the mortal races then?"

Larasa says, "I need to read several books."

Avrenka says, "I get the feeling the Heralds don't care about mortal races."

Kethrai asks, "I wonder... We know that the Immortals generally remain on the Spiritual Plane, because manifesting here is dangerous. Was that part of the... agreement about boundaries?"

Hanryu says, "We've been pretty much told so by Asildo/."

Kerennya says to Larasa, "I believe that may have been what the font of creation was for. Or at least one thing it was for."

Ezerak says to Avrenka, "I think that has been made abundantly clear, so long as we are not using sorcery too much."

Vaddon asks, "So who are the new beings mentioned in these visions?"

Kethrai asks, "Did the Heralds, or the Guardians, or whoever, say 'you can keep doing sorcery, just keep it on your own plane'?"

Larasa says, "But there were people in primal Elanthia. Mortals I assume."

* Holy Guardian Unaka joins the adventure.

Aerilia ponders.

Larasa flails her arms about.

Zalinyar gives Vaddon a gentle poke in the ribs.

Zalinyar giggles at Vaddon.

Avrenka says to Larasa, "That's true ... people with Empathy."

Aerilia gets a dog talisman from inside her scroll case.

Avrenka ponders.

Kethrai says to Larasa, "They may not have been the same kind as us."

Larasa ponders.

Holy Guardian Unaka just arrived.

Madigan says, "I will say this is the first I have heard of the Guardians being directly mentioned in visions. At least I believe that is true."

Anuril fixes Unaka with a serene, lofty stare.

Unaka waves.

Aerilia smiles at Unaka.

Kethrai says, "In fact... I have a sneaking suspicion they may have been Kather."

Trajan nods to Unaka.

Karthor waves to Unaka.

Lexxa bows to Unaka.

Kerennya waves to Unaka.

Zalinyar bursts out in loud, raucous laughter.

Ezerak nods to Madigan.

Kerennya says to Unaka, "You just missed all the fun."

Madigan smiles at Unaka.

Ghust quietly asks, "Who?"

Zalinyar says, "Perfect timing, right."

Madigan snaps to attention and hails Unaka with a crisp hand salute.

Larasa says, "Oh, maybe."

Ezerak says to Madigan, "I think you are correct."

Zalinyar snickers at Vaddon.

Unaka asks, "Oh? What'd I miss?"

Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.

Ruea glances at Unaka.

Avrenka says to Unaka, "Everything. War's over! We can all go home."

Larasa says, "More visions of old Elanthia."

Unaka chuckles at Avrenka.

Avrenka flashes a quick grin.

Lexxa says, "This one about guardians."

Unaka nods to Larasa.
