The Stars...

[A woman in black appears at the gates. It's impossible to tell if she walked up or if just appeared out of the air

So, this is the place. I expected something else. Something ... more well kept.

No matter. This is where the stars have led me. For better or for worse.

Also, I feel... Ah, that was here not too long ago. Perhaps it will come back.

A difficult one at that...

[ Sighs and tries his best. She is interesting in an unusual way. ] So what did you want to know?

[ladyofstars]

Your impressions on why people from the past are here, and why so many True Runes are here, so soon after they were in conflict with each other.

[aloof_savant]

Wh--




...How do you know that? [ Narrows eyes! ]

[ladyofstars]

I have encountered a comrade I fought along side with in Falena in the civil war twenty-five years ago, and he has not aged a day.

I am also one who is familiar with the True Runes.

[ oh really, is that all ]

Aw, man, this is way above my pay grade...

Look, I'm just a tactician who's minding the castle for a friend, shouldn't I be asking for your opinion instead?

[ladyofstars]

I have not been on the Northern Continent for a long time.

[Looks at him, not unkindly] Familiar I may be, but understanding them is beyond me. Some I know better than others. The Five Elementals are ones I am not as well versed with.

[aloof_savant]

...What do you intend to do with this information?

[ladyofstars]

To keep watch. I was guided here for a reason, I intend to find out what that reason is.

[aloof_savant]

And that's all, right? I'm an advisor and friend to one of the Rune bearers, so forgive me if I'm being a little apprehensive about a Ghost From Giftgiving-Past asking all these questions.

[ladyofstars]

That is all.

[aloof_savant]

Well, then, I'm Caesar Silverberg, and I'll offer any assistance I can if it means we can shed some light on this mess.

Welcome to Budehuc, Ze.. Zur.. --Zee.
