Maybe I should take them out more quickly to prevent damage to the city.įighting in Tremor had felt like fighting in an ancient ruin. Ilea teleported into the opposite mansion, not about to let the two patrolling golems find her. I suppose we didn’t even have that on Earth, though some cities were close. Not even the Taleen had something so sophisticated. She could see the sewers too, too small to walk through but the runes she saw suggested some automated magical system to rid the city of their waste. Despite the wear of time, many of the buildings still sported visible colors, be it shutters, roofs, doors, or even colored glass, though mostly shattered. Where Iz was cluttered and filled with simple stone houses build close to each other, the surrounding streets of Paarah were spacious, the houses tall and well decorated.

It didn’t provide nearly as much space as the cavern around Iz, but comparing the two felt wrong. Ilea could see the distant dark ceiling of the underground cavern above. Another seemed to stand guard in front of a high reaching building. Two were walking in the distance, coming closer at a leisurely pace. She couldn’t see any cars along the road, but what she could see was more golems. Only dusty earth remained, dead and devoid of any insects.

She even found a storage ring in the mansion, the same tree she had seen on the double doors engraved into the ring. Checking some of the books and documents, Ilea did find that the people of Paarah were far less cryptic and paranoid than the Taleen. Some of the commodities were no longer in a useful state of course, either eaten away by bugs or decayed due to moisture, rot, or fungus. She added the art pieces she found in the many rooms as well. She mostly focused on books, documents, and anything enchanted that was small enough to store. Knowing how easily entire houses could be destroyed by powerful spells, Ilea started to store everything she could find in her domain. Suppose then the city wouldn’t be in this state. She wondered if there was a Meadow here as well, or a similarly powerful being. Guess our little Accords thing wasn’t quite as original as some people believed. But now she kind of wanted to collect everything that she could find.Įlves, dwarves, Mava, and even Orcs, all working together with the Druned. She had come to check the place for the Druned, to now clear out the dungeon, and to find the crown they had mentioned.

And the first two paragraphs reveal information that most people in the Plains wouldn’t know about. She looked at the leather binding, fitted to the book perfectly, the letters printed and not written.

The question remains as to what an Oracle truly is, and why the powerful Elven males, including their Monarchs, respect the wishes and boundaries set by the ancient beings of the Domains. Few can claim to have spoken to or been in the presence of an Oracle, but their influence and power is nonetheless proven and generally accepted. It was written in common.Īn analysis of the Oracle and Monarch relationship in the context of Elven incursions during the second age of BlimwarkĪ collaborative effort between the Guild of Eyes and the Sylrivian Lodgeĭespite the zealous vigor displayed by young and ancient male elves alike to protect the rule and sanctity of all Oracles, they repeatedly show ignorance to the nature and motives of their creators. Taking one, she flipped it open and raised her brows. She found perfectly preserved books in the shelves. Based on how they looked, Ilea assumed the latter. Even the wooden table and the chairs had runes carved and set into them, either decorations or enchantments. She didn’t miss the runes carved into both the candlesticks and pens. Most of this stuff is pretty well preserved, she thought, looking at the books and candles. Compared to the ground floor, she could only see a few dead, and the rot and fungus from below had not spread up here. She perceived the upper level of what she now presumed to be a mansion within her dominion. Ilea didn’t touch the books on the table, in case they would instantly crumble.
