In the Beginning There Was Nothing
Then There Was Everything
Then There Was Him-Ancient dragon hymn
You find yourselves on the road to Scorn, the symbol of peace through out the Eastern continent, a symbol that the free races stand strong against oppression and tyrannical rule, and although ancient aliances are now dead, the sparks of hope linger on in the descendants. You all recieved a letter from an Master Arcanist, Al Kazim, Evoker. He is a renown wizard on the arcane scene, with several theorys on evocation being published to date, and one of the oldest masters, despite his youthful look.
Al Kazim writes that a great discovery has been made, and that huge surges of arcane energy have been reported coming from an island in the north-east of the continent, approximately three weeks by sea, travelling south from scorn by ship. He urged that you come with haste to the Civic building in the dead centre of scorn, to meet with him and be filled in on the remainder of the details, as well as ask any questions in regards to the expedition. He also promised salary, A generous sum of ten thousand gold pieces, paid straight from the Hem-Ahrin chapters vault on return to scorn in two months; six weeks travel, two weeks study, with all travel accomodations paid for, and the ship being prepared for launch on your arrival.
You are roughly five minutes from the main gate (s) of Scorn, with the walls in sight. From this distance, the walls are roughly ten feet tall, with structures pilling up in the background, a plethora of houses and spires. Trees flank your sides, and the well travelled road is hosting small amounts of travellers, being late in the morning. The spring air is warm, with eastern winds blowing through the trees softly, carrying the scent of the forest. Clear skies, and a bright sun hang in the skies.
