Beseech & Visions
[Endrus Forest, Secluded Glade]
A score of ancient sana'ati trees stand like primeval guardians around this circular clearing, stretching their weathered boughs overhead in a protective canopy of scintillating green. Lush grass and blooming flowers surround a pool of clear water, bubbling upwards from an unknown source beneath the surface. You also see a gingham picnic cloth edged in heartstring lace with several things on it, a silk cloth of variegated sea blues edged to look like cresting waves with several things on it, an Elven silk picnic cloth embroidered with silvery thread with several things on it, a stone bench, an overgrown footpath and a hole at the base of a large tree.

(Lexxa steps into the glade, exhaling softly as the scent of sun warmed earth and blooming wildflowers fills the air.

With a waver like a mirage, Sarugar fades into view.

Zersha nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
Lexxa says, "We do not seek power for its own sake. We do not follow blindly. We are children of Elanthia, bound to her rivers, her roots, her breath. And so today, we turn to her, not for commands, not for prophecy, but for truth."

(Lexxa moves to kneel upon the dry grass, brushing aside the golden stalks as she carves a circle into the sun baked earth with her blade.)

(Lexxa reaches toward the shimmering pool, where the heat of the day lingers on the surface. Dipping her fingers into the water, she lifts a handful, watching droplets glisten before pressing the moisture to her eyes, heart, and throat.)

(Kethrai places his jadice flowers carefully at the base of the tree.)

Knight of Meraud Tirost came through an overgrown footpath.
Eskerith takes a sip of his brandy.
Your vision fades as you focus on a link with Elanthia, your mind drifting deep within the soil, along streams and aquifers. The connection ebbs and flows, stretching along the records locked within the settling of rock, worn by winds from far off lands, baked by a consistent sun. The land remembers, and with it, so do you.

Three walk the land, taking what they want, tending what they choose. Strange artifacts crafted or shaped, cast aside or secured. The three watch as the land shifts, volcanos erupt, storms rage, and smile, drinking the sun, the stars, the land. In their footsteps blooms new life, new chasms, new depths.

Mistanna nods to Lexxa.

Your senses become murky, and you find you are unable to see clearly. Your impression of Elanthia flickers, but you realize the connection is undisturbed -- Elanthia itself becomes clouded, choked under stagnant waters and still air. The three pay no heed, avoiding these opaque areas. Time passes. Storms whirl around these still regions, amplifying and destabilizing -- lightning rages across the land and leaves behind jagged sandstrike crystals, angrily clawing at the sky.
Imroth says, "Oh good, I thought it was suspiciously quiet."
Miskton strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Karthor says in a Haakish accent, "Hmm, curious."
Zersha shivers.
Ezathiel nods to Lexxa.
Aemaranth leans to her right slightly.
The three continue their journey, and more regions fill with stagnant murk. An earthquake rocks the land, seismic echoes rebounding around a pillar of stillness spiking the land, and a mountain range is torn in half. The resulting rockslide slams into a bay, destroying a delicate reef and sending a focused wave across the ocean. The three continue their journey.
Lexxa says, "Your vision fades as you focus on a link with Elanthia, your mind drifting deep within the soil, along streams and aquifers.

A golden haze descends, and the three draw from it, then send it on its way. The haze begins to shape the land, shape time, and where they interact, the stagnant areas stir, flushing with movement and even dispersing. The three push it aside, drawing from all they touch, and otherwise pay it little attention.
Chrysagon takes a sip of his brandy.
Zersha furrows her brow.
Somthing changes -- the strange mixing of mana sparks, casting smoldering embers across the lands, and several stagnant structures flush and stir with activity, dispersing. The starfire rakes across the face of the night, and the golden haze breathes itself into the seas, forests, mountains, and skies. Some regions thrive. Some die.
Tirost rests his hand on a haralun bastard sword inscribed with arcane symbols.
Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning murky black cigarillo.

Lexxa says, "An old forest shields its denizens and the open desert buries its secrets. Clean bone and worn fang are all that remain of those that were part of these stories, ground to dust and scattered in time. You watch a hundred generations of a line of falcons relish in the secrets of the winds, and delight in a small flower gradually filling its petals with a vivid purple. Life itself molds, adapts, succeeds."
Chrysagon takes a sip of his brandy.
Valynn appears calmer than she did a moment ago.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.
Karthor asks in a Haakish accent, "Sounds a bit like the desolation in areas predates the arrival o' the immortals an' introduction of sorcery then, eh?"
Valynn nods to Tirost.
Zersha gnaws on her lip.
Imroth asks, "Anyone familiar with sandstrike crystals?"
Strawberry Nurse Illiya came through an overgrown footpath.

Imroth grins at Illiya.
A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.
Aerilia says to Lexxa, "Could you clarify what happened to the stagnant areas when the golden haze interacted with them? I'm not sure I caught that."
Kethrai says, "It sounds like some of the stagnant areas returned to life and some died. Either way, change returned to them rather than stagnation."
Wild Card Elore came through an overgrown footpath.
Illiya grins at Zynell, her dimples flashing into view.
Tirost nods to Kethrai.
Eskerith nods to Kethrai.

Tirost hugs Elore, who wraps her arms around Tirost with a warm smile.
Eskerith adjusts his pilgrimage robe into place.
Lexxa says, "The world will move on, but this moment remains. May the land remember. May we return wiser than we came."
Valynn whispers something to Illiya.
Imroth says, "Seems like sorcery dispersed the stagnation caused by the Heralds."
(Lexxa watches silently as a single golden leaf, loosened from the canopy above, drifts downward, settling onto the quartz left at the trees base, a quiet sign that the moment has been acknowledged.)
Karthor asks in a Haakish accent, "Piecin' together what we know, could those stagnant spots've been "drank dry" by the Heralds?"
Aerilia nods to Imroth.
Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Imroth nods to Karthor.
Mistanna nods at Karthor, obviously agreeing with his views.
Lexxa casually observes the area.
Valynn nods to Lexxa.
Eskerith glances at Karthor.
Lexxa ponders.
Eskerith nods.
Imroth says to Karthor, "That would be my interpretation."
Aemaranth says, "Almost as if the land didn't pay any attention to what was happening, it continues regardless of the passage of time."
Illiya whispers something to Valynn.
Sarugar says in an Ilithic accent, "The voice of these memories is markedly distinct from those in previous rituals."
Valynn nods at Sarugar, obviously agreeing with his views.
Zehira opens her tea hamper.
Zehira gets a chalky black demonbone teacup painted with obscure symbols from inside her tea hamper.
Kethrai says, "From what they just described of the visions, we didn't see the Heralds at these stagnant areas. In fact, they seemed to avoid them? Which does match what we've heard from previous visions."
Zehira gets an abyssal black demonbone teapot with a bone handle from inside her tea hamper.
Karthor nods.
Zehira puts her teacup in her tea hamper.
Imroth says, "Oh I thought they moved on from them because there was no more mana to be drank from there."

Lexxa ponders.
Zersha shakes her head at Imroth.
Zehira puts her teapot in her tea hamper.
Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I saw them avoiding those areas."
Zersha furrows her brow.
Valynn says, "Sarugar makes a good point. These visions today align with the visions that Unaka has given and not the visions we all saw at the beginning."
Kethrai says, "It may be, if they are consuming mana, there simply was no mana there for them to consume. Although... It's life mana that would be lacking there, not the others."
Zehira closes her tea hamper.
Tirost asks Aerilia, "What did you make of the golden haze's effects on the stagnant areas?"
Chrysagon ponders.
Sarugar gives Valynn a slight nod.
Chrysagon takes a sip of his brandy.

Miskton takes a sip of his brandy.
Tirost nods to Kethrai.
Aerilia says to Tirost, "Mixed mana, at least at the hands of the Immortals, was able to stir the stagnant back into a state of change, it seemed."
Tirost nods to Aerilia.
Lexxa gives a slight nod.
Aemaranth asks, "What if its the mixed mana that is creating the barran areas?"
Aemaranth raises an eyebrow.
Kethrai says, "Those areas of stagnation also seemed to suffer under effects similar to wild magic."
Tirost says to Aerilia, "I believe it shows that the Heralds care little for life on this plane. They draw mana from sources. The Immortals seem to have been a source, and then left to their devices, which changed the plane."
Karthor asks Kethrai in a Haakish accent, "Like the lack o' Life threw off the balance or somesuch?"
Kethrai says, "Although -- the wild magic effects in those areas sounded specifically like Elemental and Lunar effects."
Valynn folds her arms across her chest.
Kethrai nods to Karthor.
Aerilia says to Tirost, "Heralds did seem to regard the universe as a buffet, rather than something to be cared for."
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Kethrai says, "So maybe it was something like, the lack of Life mana there caused an imbalance leading to those effects."
Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Mistanna asks Karthor, "Maybe the imbalance in Life mana upsets them too?"
Kethrai holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.
Elore leans on Ezathiel.
Imroth says, "Or at least they only cared for the parts they could get something from."
Reverend Gragnel came through an overgrown footpath.
Karthor looks at Mistanna and shrugs.
Gragnel joins Zynell's group.
Lexxa nods to Imroth.
Kethrai says to Aerilia, "Seemed to be a bit of both. There were projects they pursued, creations they made and preserved, others they discarded."
Zynell grins at Gragnel.
Mistanna hugs Gragnel, who wraps his arms around Mistanna with a warm smile.
Gragnel just nudged Eskerith.

Zehira gives Zynell a smooch.
Zynell babbles something incoherent at Zehira.
Zehira laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Seeming to avoid Zehira's eye, Zynell makes a quiet chirrup-like noise.
Valynn asks, "Is no one bothered by the seeming diversion in point of view from our first visions?"
Lexxa asks, "And empaths saw nothing?"
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Kethrai shakes his head at Lexxa.
Ezathiel chuckles at Elore.
Lexxa gives a slight nod.
Aerilia says, "Not a thing, unfortunately."
Anuril nods to Valynn.
Ezathiel nods to Elore.
Eskerith says in a Musparan accent, "I did not see anything. I don't know about any of the others..."
Chrysagon frowns.
Leilanie just left.
Tirost asks Kethrai, "That makes sense to me, in way. Perhpas you too? What poet or playwright has not abadonded a project and taken up one that sparks their creativity?"
Eskerith gets a stylized black mask resembling a panther from inside his spidersilk backpack.
Kethrai says, "It sounds like only the Rangers saw anything this time."
Eskerith offers Gragnel a stylized black mask resembling a panther.
Rikkie says, "Nothing seen here."
Gragnel accepts Eskerith's leather mask.
Gragnel beams at Eskerith!
Gragnel attaches a stylized black mask resembling a panther to his nose.
Forest Sprite Lileath came through an overgrown footpath.
Kethrai nods to Tirost.
Hebion asks, "Does not life magic and holy magic being mixed generally create poor results?"
Gragnel puts his crystal in his leather longcoat.
Sarugar says in an Ilithic accent, "It is as though the mood of Elanthia has changed, or it was not united before."
Zehira looks at Hebion and shrugs.
Aerilia says to Valynn, "Asildu was personally involved in those prior beseeches, wasn't he? A direct connection to the Heralds might've influenced them."
Kethrai says to Hebion, "Yes, generally."
Gragnel removes a stylized black mask resembling a panther from his nose.
Gragnel puts his mask in his leather longcoat.
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Ysilda shakes her head at Aerilia.
Aemaranth says to Hebion, "It does sound like it would make a mess."
Valynn nods to Sarugar.
Kethrai says, "Although, there are a few of a few who seem to know how to harness them together safely."
Hebion asks, "So if the immortals, which also seem to come in threes, were to interact with direct life force could that also be a bad situation?"
Karthor says in a Haakish accent, "Perhaps leavin' the Empathy out of it gave a clearer picture from Elanthia without outside influence. I could imagine the Heralds bein' able to "leak" their perspective into the whole thing before via our Empathy. Or somethin'."
Casari says to Sarugar, "Seemed like the mood of the Heralds changed, too. They only recently even started calling themselves Heralds when making their demands, for example."
Valynn says to Aerilia, "I do not remember seeing him at the first, but I may have missed him in the crowd."
Rienth says to Aerilia, "Asildu was only involved in one of the prior ones."
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Aerilia says to Rienth, "The first? That's what I seem to recall, anyway."
Rienth says, "The second, I think."
Kethrai says, "One thing that seemed notable here..."
Tirost glances at Miskton.
Kethrai says, "The Heralds seemed to be unaware of the golden haze, the Immortals, sorcery, whatever it was, rekindling life in the stagnating areas."
Valynn stretches her arms.
Valynn dusts herself off.
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Karthor says in a Haakish accent, "Hm, good point. They interacted with it once an' then ignored it."
Eskerith asks in a Musparan accent, "Does a ship turn around to analyze it's wake? Or, does it simply move forward as it must?"
Chrysagon furrows his brow.
Aemaranth asks Kethrai, "You are saying that sorcery rekindles life?"
Qetu grins at Rikkie.
Tirost says to Kethrai, "It does seem beneath their notice."
Kethrai says, "That's a sense we've gotten before in these visions, but it was about the Immortals being unaware of the effects their sorcery was having on the Heralds."
Imroth says, "The Heralds seem like opportunistic gatherers. They seem to only care about harvesting more and more. Probably a lot they don't notice or care about."
Tirost nods to Imroth.
Aerilia nods.
Gragnel nods to Eskerith.
Sarugar says in an Ilithic accent, "If Nature's memory has changed, then consider whether other changes have occurred."
Lexxa nods to Imroth.
Hebion nods to Zersha.
Hebion rests his hand on Zersha's arm with a soft smile.
Zersha smiles at Hebion, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Zersha softly asks Valynn in a Velakan accent, "It did feel different, harsher, perhaps?"
Zynell says, "It sounds like the visions from the last beseeching were from the before murky times, when she was watching the generations of falcons."
Zynell says, "We asked different questions this time."
Valynn nods to Zersha.
Miskton takes a sip of his brandy.
Illiya asks, "Do we know what caused the stagnant murky areas?"
Kethrai says, "The first vision we saw from Elanthia was wide-ranging, and included seeing localized extinctions and areas where life did not thrive. I assume that's referring to the same places."
Tirost smiles at Miskton.
Valynn quietly says to Zersha, "Nature seemed less lush, not full of life, no energy."
Imroth shakes his head at Illiya.
Lexxa nods to Valynn.
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
Illiya nods.
Kethrai says, "The first visions we saw suggested those localized extinctions happened in places where civilizations had risen and discovered magic."
Imroth says, "Well I guessed it was areas drunk dry, but that isn't really explicitly stated."
Zehira takes a sip of her tea.
In the blink of an eye, Sarugar disappears into his surroundings.
Lexxa asks, "Does anyone have anything else to add?"
Zersha softly says to Valynn in a Velakan accent, "It seemed more focused on the death side of the cycle. The bones and fangs..."
Ezathiel gets a spiced pear cider cocktail from inside his bone-white lunchbox.
Valynn nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.
Ezathiel takes a sip of his cocktail.
Tirost says to Kethrai, "There was the war in the previous visions as well, was there not? Between the Heralds and whatever came to this plane after the actions of the gardener."
Kethrai says to Zersha, "We're drawing memories almost exclusively from things that have died. Almost nothing is still living that remembers those times."
Kethrai nods to Tirost.
Zersha softly says in a Velakan accent, "We kind of have stagnant areas now. The forest near here, the dark hand..."
Zersha shifts her weight.
Kethrai nods to Zersha.
Lexxa gives a slight nod.
Eskerith nods to Zersha.
Ezathiel furrows his brow.
Ysilda curtsies.
Life Weaver Ysilda went through an overgrown footpath.
Kethrai says, "The Blasted Plain, the Zaulfung."
Valynn asks Kethrai, "Does not Elanthia live and remember?"
Zersha nods to Kethrai.
Zersha softly says to Kethrai in a Velakan accent, "And at least some of them weren't created by beings of immense power, just those with enough to...cause harm."
Ezathiel quietly says in an Ilithian accent, "Three picnic cloths full of food, drink, and desserts. Help yourselves please. There is plenty so take as much as you want."
Kethrai says to Valynn, "The sense I get is that Elanthia's memories are the collective memories of things that have lived, and whose memories return to the planet when they die."
Ezathiel takes a sip of his cocktail.
Illiya nods to Zynell.
Imroth gets himself some sweet cream and strawberries. Yum!
Gragnel gets himself a goblet of Dalesian white wine. Yum!

Nawain waves to Ezathiel.

Tirost glances at Miskton.

Zersha gives Miskton a slight nod.

Zehira stretches her arms.
Imroth chuckles.
Lexxa takes a bite of the strawberries.
Imroth pats Nawain on the back.
Casari says to Imroth, "They eventually showed they had the ability to understand us and chose to be malicious. I'd rather it not have gotten there, but since that's where it is, I kind of hope the Immortals' actions toward the Heralds are as cruel as they often are toward mortals."
Rikkie went through an overgrown footpath.
Sukidesu rubs his hands together.
Aemaranth says to Kethrai, "Thank you for telling me that. That makes the conversation more then."
Nawain says to Aemaranth in a Rakash accent, "Oh, Enelne is about far more than new life! She's nature. All of it, the land, the animals, the wind, the water, us... We're all a part of Enelne."
Sukidesu rubs his head.
Imroth smirks at Casari.
Zehira wrinkles her nose.
Imroth says to Casari, "Me too. I just don't want to be the first to choose violence all the time."
