He is a bit over average height for a Human.
He appears to be in his prime.
He has a thick mustache on his upper lip and a well groomed beard.
He has a tattoo of a vibrant portrait of Lanival the Redeemer on his forearm.
He is wearing an azurelle battle longbow sporting seventeen forged ka'hurst raven feathers, a deeply cowled cloak of dark jadeleaf cloth inked with a shadowy gloomwood tree, a densely forged ka'hurst mail hauberk richly padded with electroweave, an eddy of muted sylvan light trapped in a cage of barbed dragonwood arrows, a rugged yeehar-hide herb pouch, a waterproof oilcloth gamebag fastened with riftstone arrows, an elaborate scorpion-shaped quiver bound in void-black shadowleaf and a pair of black spidersilk pants.

You see Maunderer Aislynn Ranloa, Zoluren's Shadow of the Zoluren Navy, a S'Kra Mur.
Aislynn has a sculpted diamond-shaped face with a set of frost-dappled faesoul blossoms bedecked with intricate icesteel webs highlighting a bilateral crest of delicate spines joined by icy-blue membranes which follows the shape of her skull, some rounded icesteel-framed spectacles with blue tinted lenses that accents a smattering of wrinkles emphasizing thoughtful slitted icy blue eyes and an elegant snout, icy blue-whorled translucent scales accented by some white opal gems, a webbed icesteel pel'hhsmur with a brilliant sungold spiral covering the length of a ridge of delicate spines upon a resplendent tail and a pair of pale leathery wings with nearly translucent icy-blue membranes accenting the figure.
She is itty-bitty for a S'Kra Mur.
A square-cut glacier emerald is positioned between her eyes, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her scales.
She is archaic.
She has a bioluminescent array of serrated asarenjan horns jutting prominently from her forehead.
She has a tattoo of a pair of wings with iridescent feathers on her back.

[Arhat's Tower, Workshop]
Very little is recognizable from the workshop's original contents. The walls are broken off at half their intended height and the area lies open to the elements. The only obvious sign of the room's prior function, odd glowing stains marking the floor, are most likely the result of past experiments gone awry. You also see a cloud of black mist, a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes (sitting), a horned phantom thrall, a grey cat (sitting), a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail (sitting), a violet grotto monkey, a towering dragonwood tree with aurulent leaves, a large fiery fissure, a svelte alfar warrior, a pink-eared white piglet and a blue polka-dot cloth.

[Arhat's Tower, Foyer]
Scorched walls span the tower, and faint reflections of emerald green onyx are visible beneath the ash. A long steep staircase has been cut into the walls, spiraling its way up the tapering interior.

[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.

You also see a landing area cordoned off by Musparan silk stanchion ropes and a tall fir tree.

P>
With the aid of the Empathic link, you feel as though you have connected with Elanthia itself. Your heartbeat slows, matching the pulse of life covering the planet. Though searching for information on a specific moment in time, you become distinctly aware that Elanthia perceives time on a scale unfamiliar to you, as layers of sediment each sing their own song of epochs and days from before the rise of humanity on this world.

P>
Phierre slowly empties his lungs.
P>
Deathbeing blinks.
P>
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "I ... sense something."
P>
Your senses reach back to a time when the planet was teeming with wildness. Vibrant, uncontrolled, untamed life was once present here, in this very location. You sense the rise and fall of countless civilizations here, in this very soil. Under the careful watch of a cultivating eye pruning and fertilizing the natural life on the planet, you feel the influence of guardians maintaining the balance between wildness and civilization. Existence, self-contained and free of outside influence, remained in balance such that life could thrive.
P>
Pyppa says, "Lifts praise the waters and life."
P>
Allye quietly says, "Oh..."
P>
Zersha slowly empties her lungs.
P>
Rileos slowly empties his lungs.
P>

Jundara just touched Kivian.
P>
Saragos gestures.
Saragos's storm-grey mantle emits a loud *snap*.
A veil of ice forms around Saragos.
P>
Kayena stands up.
P>
You notice as a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes looks around cautiously.
P>
Wild Card Elore just arrived.
P>
Wild Card Elore went through a fire-etched onyx door.
P>
However, you also sense that this time was short-lived. You feel a distinct time when these gardeners sustaining the balance could no longer entirely fight off outside influence. As each civilization learned to harness the flowing streams of mana, it crumbled beneath a localized extinction, leaving a bleeding wound where no life could bloom. What was an embrace of wholeness now twists into a litany of trauma, as unnatural blights spread from festering eruptions long forgotten. You feel the overwhelming loss of Life within each wound, as disease propagates alien, twisted life from outside of the plane in each laceration. As portions of Elanthia have died, outsiders have planted their seed and begun cultivating to expand their own presence through new pathways into existence from elsewhere.
P>
Ezathiel softly says, "Praise the waters and the life."
P>
You notice as a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail looks upward negligently.
P>
Aislynn whispers to your group, "Stay focused. Listen, and feel. Don't get lost."
P>
Lexxa appears to be listening intently for something.
P>
Allye nods emphatically at Aislynn.
P>
Eurynomile nods to Madigan.
P>
Thanator nods to Madigan.
P>
Aerhys chews on his lip, looking deep in concentration.
P>
Aislynn winces.
P>
Allye frowns.
P>
As new pathways came to take what was here, lesser guardians attempted to assist the caretakers. They attempted to contain the wounds, and to cultivate life, but their impact was severely limited, as it was dependent on a connection to the outside, as if drawing from a well some distance away to put out a raging fire. The wounds continued to fester and bleed. The primary guardians, who were reliant on the balance of life to continue cultivating, focused on what good they could do, leaving the outsiders to attempt to contain the blights.
P>
Aislynn inhales a great swallow of air.
P>
Leayne softly says, "This is very strange."
P>
Aislynn slowly empties her lungs.
P>
Crobin nods to Leayne.
P>
Crobin says, "Focus love, you are doing great."
P>
Jundara just touched Kivian.
P>
Within each of these wounds, Elanthia has never recovered. Only unnatural life, blighted and cursed, can thrive in these conditions. They are no longer part of the balance within Elanthia -- and they take more from Elanthia with every iteration.
P>
A pained expression crosses Aislynn's face.
P>
Zersha shivers.
P>
Kerennya breathes almost without making a sound.

Aerhys tilts his head inquisitively.

The pain now grows, welling to an unsustainable level, and you find yourself feeling the weight of Arhat's crumbling tower above you. Your senses focus on this location, and your connection with Elanthia helps guide the memory of the nature surrounding this tower to the specific point in which your compatriots disappeared.

P>
Aislynn slowly empties her lungs.
P>
Deathbeing closes his eyes for a moment and grows still.
P>
Pushing out the influence of everything outside of this focal point, your senses sharpen. You witness the flash that rent many into the Null Prison, and the return of all but five. Curiously, you still feel the influence of their life in this very moment in time and in this very space. All five beings strangely appear to be here within the vicinity of the Tower -- but entirely out of reach, as if in a space that is not tangible in any meaningful way.

Ezathiel inhales a great swallow of air.

Sceth glances at a broken tower.

You say, "There is much to ponder from that vision."

Valynn rises to her feet fluidly, like a large, graceful cat.

Aislynn observes a broken tower with fascination.

Melindrha says, "So much life."

Shaylynne joins your group.

Crobin flicks one ear back as though listening for something.

Illiya says, "We could feel them still in the tower.. but also not."

Karthor asks Tirost, "Way too much to describe in a sentence or two, I'm afraid. Would "everything" be useful?"

Madigan nods to you.

Kamisama joins your group.

Arcsicsin nods to you.

Shaylynne tries to pull Kamisama to his feet, but cannot.

[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 some dirt, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes (sitting), a lush mimosa tree dappled with glowing pink blossoms, a horned phantom thrall, a grey cat (sitting), a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur (sitting), a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail (sitting), a pink-eared white piglet, a svelte alfar warrior, a violet grotto monkey, a landing area cordoned off by Musparan silk stanchion ropes and a tall fir tree.

Valynn grins at Hanryu.

Hanryu puts his towel in his bearskin cloak.

You ask, "Madigan, Saragos, what did *you* see?"

Malorna says, "Oh. was right after i said they were there, but not there."

Keinruf asks, "It is feelink like magic is scar, and broken bone, and makink infection... is my understandink?"

Hanryu jots down some notes.

You arch your eyebrow.

You ask, "You saw nothing?"

Aislynn quietly says, "How can the world be in so much pain, and we don't feel it? Agony for lifetimes... Why haven't we noticed? Empaths, I mean. I'm sure rangers have known forever."

Melindrha says, "We are limited by what the guild allows us to know."

Melindrha looks at Aislynn and shrugs.

Karthor says to Aislynn, "Because we never throught to feel it through the Rangers before, I s'pose."

Sarugar quietly says, "Not visions."

You say, "One moment, friend."

Ezerak says, "I also saw nothing."

You say, "Let me impart what I saw."

Aislynn ponders.

Aaiyaah nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.
>
Aerilia tilts her head inquisitively.
>
You say, "I became distinctly aware that Elanthia perceives time on a scale unfamiliar to me, as layers of sediment each sing their own song of epochs and days from before the rise of humanity on this world."
>
Zersha nods to you.
>
Sublime Mender Kerennya just arrived.
>
You say, "It showed me a time when the planet was teeming with wildness. Vibrant, uncontrolled, untamed life was once present here, in this very location. You sense the rise and fall of countless civilizations here, in this very soil. Under the careful watch of a cultivating eye pruning and fertilizing the natural life on the planet, you feel the influence of guardians maintaining the balance between wildness and civilization. Existence, self-contained and free of outside influence, remained in balance such that life could thrive."
>
Kerennya joins your group.
>
Valynn nods to you.
>
You say, "I felt a distinct time when these gardeners sustaining the balance could no longer entirely fight off outside influence. As each civilization learned to harness the flowing streams of mana, it crumbled beneath a localized extinction, leaving a bleeding wound where no life could bloom. What was an embrace of wholeness now twists into a litany of trauma, as unnatural blights spread from festering eruptions long forgotten. I felt the overwhelming loss of Life within each wound, as disease propagates alien, twisted life from outside of the plane in each laceration. As portions of Elanthia have died, outsiders have planted their seed and begun cultivating to expand their own presence through new pathways into existence from elsewhere."
>
Rileos runs his fingers through his hair.
>
You say, "As new pathways came to take what was here, lesser guardians attempted to assist the caretakers. They attempted to contain the wounds, and to cultivate life, but their impact was severely limited, as it was dependent on a connection to the outside, as if drawing from a well some distance away to put out a raging fire. The wounds continued to fester and bleed. The primary guardians, who were reliant on the balance of life to continue cultivating, focused on what good they could do, leaving the outsiders to attempt to contain the blights."
>
A pained expression crosses Aislynn's face.
>
Rileos joins your group.
>
Allye nods to you.
>
You say, "Within each of these wounds, Elanthia has never recovered. Only unnatural life, blighted and cursed, can thrive in these conditions. They are no longer part of the balance within Elanthia -- and they take more from Elanthia with every iteration."
>
Malorna shudders.
>
Tirost frowns.
>
Aislynn's tail undulates in an agitated fashion.
>
Lexxa nods in agreement.
>
Malorna says, "Need more trees and plants."
>
Leayne nods to Crobin.

Malorna says, "We didnt try our wariors either."

You say, "The pain now grows, welling to an unsustainable level, and I found yourself feeling the weight of Arhat's crumbling tower above you. My senses focused on this location, and my connection with Elanthia helped guide the memory of the nature surrounding this tower to the specific point in which our compatriots disappeared."
