He threw a couple of his rations to his pet who quickly went to gnawing on the offering.* I know you would rather have some fresh meat Gobantik but this will have to do for now.When you finish eating take guard . He told his pet in the low monotone voice that Erudites were known for. The pet replied with a nod and took up a guard spot as it munched on the last of the ration. Looking around from his vantage point on a small ridge overlooking a meandering river,he followed the river to a bend in the distance,just beyond a bend in the river he noticed a faint glow on the water. A village or maybe a castle?Might be worth a closer look.If it is maybe they will have real food instead of these rations,if I am even allowed to enter He thought to himself as he continued to focus on the glow on the water.Erudites for the most part were not welcome in to many places other than their home city,and he knew this all to well.On more than one occasion he had been 'required' leave a city due to his race,much less his class.For some reason Necromancers were not liked very well....Taking a water flask he doused the small fire he had made and headed towards the glow. After a couple of hours he finally rounded the bend and before him a gated village and castle stood just across the river from where he stood.Making his way to the bridge he turned to head across it and to the city gates.As he approached the gates two guards crossed their spears and asked himto identify himself and state his business I am Lazrid Anarion of Knights of Fury guild.I am in need of a hot meal and a soft bed for the night.I will be on my way tomorrow at first light. * The guards looked him over for a minute and stepped aside allowing him to pass.One of them pointed down the main street and told him where the tavern was located.Lazrid bowed slightly and thanked them as he made his way through teh gates and down the street.The Necromancer would give those he met a small nod and continue on his way to what he was hoping would be a good meal and a soft bed. After a few minutes the lights of the tavern came into view just where the guards had said.A faint smile crossed his lips as he was almost surprised to find out the guards had given him accurate information. Lazrid walked in to the tavern and took a seat near a huge fireplace and he leaned his staff against the edge of the mantel as so it would not fall or get burned by the flames that were rolling and popping in the fireplace After taking his seat he looked to his side and there was his faithful pet Gobantik,he told the pet to head back out of town and find a place to bed for the night and he would summon him if needed,the pet nodded and headed back outside and slinked into the darkness. He hadnt been seated but for a couple of minutes before the barmaid came to him and asked him what he would like to have A small smile broke across his lips and he replied* Whatever the house special is for a meal and the largest mug of ale you have please * The barmaid told him she would return in a minute with his ale and bring his food as soon as it was ready.Lazrid nodded and leaned back in his seat and streched to try to shake off the road before rubbing his tired ice blue eyes before taking a look around the tavern. Above the mantel of the fireplace was the guilds coat of arms,around the tavern walls were paintings of members both past and present that had earned the right to take their place of promince. before he could take it all in the barmaid returned with his plate and placed it before him,taking a few gold pieces from his money pouch he gave them to her ,she bowed slightly and headed back to her other duties. Lazrid took in the smell of the stew that was brought to him and he said to himself as he picked up the fork and knife and started to dig in* This is going to be alot better than my last so called meal Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am on a quest to attempt to locate my wife Sierraa Daane.She has been missing for some time now.From what I have been able to gather she dissapeared through some kind of portal that showed up in East Karana near the water fall...at least that is what a couple of the farmers in the area told me,and I did find their information to be correct.The portal was right where they said it was. I sent word back to the Library Masters in Plane of Knowlage and one of them came out to have a look at it.His reply was he had never seen such a thing before but he would gather the best minds to try to figure out where it leads to and how it came to be in East Karana * He stopped talking long enough to take a long drink from his ale before cotinuing* I am just trying to gather as much information as I can from where I can.I have thought several times of stepping into the portal but not knowing if it is stable or where it leads to or even if I will be able to return or if my wife is on the other side..... * Lazrid stopped talking again for a moment to gather his thoughts as the barmaid made her rounds to refill his mug,he nodded a thanks to her as she made her way towards the other patrons * By chance would there be a place where one could get a room for the night?Nothing extravagent is needed,just a simple room will be fine (( OOC note.... I am just dropping by for an unoffical visit ....I saw you guys were a RP guild.I used to role play in forum based RPs some years back and thought I would have a look if that is ok)) Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mention of the location of the strange portal--just outside the Sanctum's gates, it would seem!--startles him. When Lazrid goes on, Keats nods a bit hurriedly at his request for a room, as though it were a foregone conclusion. A room? Oh, yes, of course; we run the Shady Dragon, but it serves the public as well. I'm sure there are rooms available, and Phil-- Keats nods toward a dapper-looking halfling wiping down the bar. --can get you set up. But wait a minute...you say this portal is right here, by the waterfall in East Karana? Keats points incredulously toward the door of the inn, which, had it been open, would have shown a winding path nearby and a glimpse of the barbarian fishing village and the large waterfall that pours from the mountains that separate the Karana plains from Kithicor forest. The river it feeds forms the first border of the Sigils Sanctum, opposite the Northman fishing camp. That waterfall? Well, that's more than a little disturbing--the news that there's a magical portal just outside our gates that seems to be taking people and refusing to give them back. I'm sure the Sigils Arcanes would be...ah...most interested in learning about this, since I've heard nothing of it til now. I assume you've come to investigate at the site of your wife's disappearance? You said she's been gone for some time--about how long is "some time"? Days? Months? Years? Realizing he's offering a barrage of questions, Keats pulls out a chair at the table and seats himself, regarding this Lazrid Anarion with intent green eyes.

She glances curiously over at the new visitor but he seems to be in a deep conversation with Keats and does not wish to interrupt. Instead she goes up to Phil and asks the halfling bartender for some elvish wine.

There has been no word of any of her belongings being found anywhere that would suggest she had been killed or captured.If that would have happened either her horse or her pet would have returned to our home if at all possable. I plan to go to the area once again in the morning for another look around just to see if there might be something that I could have missed on my last visit,you are welcome to join me so st least you will know exactally where it is located at Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Visitor Posts: 5 (09/26/11 12:09 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Karesand exchanges a look with Keats, thinking about the offer. Well, I do need to get back to Qeynos before too long, but I guess I would like to have a look at it. I'm not much of an authority on portals, but if your wife has truly gone missing into this thing, then I'd like to come with you to see if there is anyway I can help. Does she have a history of getting herself into things, or do you think that maybe she wandered into it by chance or accident? He says, looking back at Lazarid with concern. Also, you mentioned that she is a druid of some experience. So, I assume that she would have transported herself back if she was able to, correct? And, I wouldn't put too much faith in the wizards of the Library to get back to you in any useful amount of time; they aren't known for outstanding public relations. I think it would be better to have a wizard from the Sigils go with you as well tomorrow, if we can find one willing. He looks around the room to see that it seems currently devoid of wizards.

"There has been no word of any of her belongings being found anywhere that would suggest she had been killed or captured." So much of it sounds so familiar--the quest, the uncertainty--that the half elf misses the point at which Lazrid stops speaking. Karesand's voice breaks his reverie, and he hopes he hasn't missed too much as he listens to Karesand and rejoins the thread of the conversation. Yeah, Karesand's right; a wizard would probably be ideal to investigate an arcane portal. They may not be here right no, but once they hear about some magical gateway manifesting outside our gateway, I'm betting Winter and maybe even Backdraft will be out here in short order. I haven't seen Andy in a few weeks, but who knows...wizards do tend to get around quickly. His eyes glance to the bar and the half elven woman standing there. Your wife being who she was, Lazrid, perhaps some aid from a druid might be useful as well. With a quick nod, Keats excuses himself to rise from his place, call to Starlene, and beckon her over to the chair adjacent to him. Twilight? Have you met our visitor?

"I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure, but I couldn't help but overhear some of what you said. If there's anyway I could be of assistance in locating your wife, I'd be glad to help. I am also a druidess of Tunare, and my name is Starlene Antares, Sigil of the Twilight Sky." A druid and necromancer wed? Inwardly Starlene cringes at the very thought. How could a druid possibly fall in love with someone who practices the dark arts, which go entirely against everything we believe and hold sacred? she asks herself. Due to his profession and the fact that he is a stranger to them, Starlene is not sure how much she trust this necromancer to be true to his words. Could be making this story up to lure them into some sort of trap? If his wife is Feir'Dal, though she might be to verify his story through an independent source. "Does your wife hail from Kelethin like I do?"

Yes I am sure she would have tried to gate back to either our home in Kelthin or back to Plane of Knowlage if at all possable,and her horse and pet were well trained to return home if something were to have happened.She always rides her horse and always has her pet bear with her,those two things are set in stone.I have already looked at her old haunts,so to say,Thurgaden and Surefall Glades,and noone has seen her for a very long time,they were wondering where she has been as well.I have been at our home in Greater Feydark and nothing there has changed.We share a small home in Greater Feydark that lies beside the southern path west of the spires. Public relations ? Lazrid replies to Karesand before taking another drink I will agree Karesand, the high and mighty Library Masters are not known for hurrying on anything,just getting a meeting with them will make one old and grey. * The Necromancer listens to Keats and nods in agreement as he watches him rise and call Starlene come towards them .As she approaches Lazrid rises and places his hand on the center of his chest before bowing to her* I have noticed her sitting across teh room but have yet had the pleasure of a meeting. Greetings M'Lady Antares,it is a pleasure to meet you and any assistance you have to offer would be more than welcome.Noone knows a Druid of Tunare better than another Druid of Tunare. And yes she does hail from Kelethin,he name is Sierraa Daane,leader of Veterans Legion guild...her guild is now all but gone,but the name still remains on the books of Kelethin.I am sure that your guild master in Kelethin will be able to verifiy this and that she and I are married. * Lazrid notices a slight questioning look in the Druids eyes as he retook his seat,that look made him decide to offer his wifes name and guild name,even though he would have if asked without any hesitation* I have had the pleasure of a meeting with the Druid guild master in kelethin on a couple of occasions,but only at his request.He sent a runner with a summons to meet with him.It was the parchment that saved me from having one huge scuffle with the guards on the great tree city.Needless to say I was escorted directly to the Guild master and was asked to gate out after our business was completed.Not that I can blame him of course.A Necromancer in Kelethin is something that just doesnt happen...at all,much the same as a Druid being in Paineel.I am sure that you can relate to that M'Lady * He goes back to fiddling with his Ring of Unity as he speaks of the meeting with the Druid Guild master. The ring was the band that was made for him as a wedding band.Sierraa also held one that was a match to his.The Celtic braids on the bands were exact matches to each other so there would be no question as to who they belonged to if the rings were to become ...seperated... from either of them* Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If you don't mind me asking, what sort of business would a druid guild master want to have with a person of your type?" Something about him gives her the creeps—the cool easy way in which he speaks. Perhaps this Sierraa is better off separated from his corruptible influence. She glances to Keats though and realizes with guilt how horrified the bard of Erollisi Marr would be if he could read her thoughts right then. Keats would have no trouble believing that such an unlikely couple could find love and happiness together. Why was it so hard for her to do the same? Glancing at the bard again, she realizes, If she does love him, then like me, she's found a way to forgive him and look past his faults. Last Edited By: Starlene Antares 09/27/11 10:28 PM.

If you still require more proof,there is a spell that an Enchanter showed me some time back...a sort of mind reading spell.It works to allow one to read the others thoughts in one direction ...from the caster to the one that will be recieving the images,so there is no way that I would be able to place anything in your mind, so me being able to 'corrupt' you in any fashon simply will not happen ...sometimes they come in a jumbled fashion that takes a while to sort through but very soon they will make sence...but this requires you to have a bit of trust in me as well.I assure you there will be no harm that will come to you. The choice is yours,what do you say?But before you reply answer this question to yourself...Have I not treated everyone here with a the respect, kindness and equality since I set foot through the gates? Feel free to go ask teh guards that man the gates and everyone that has seen me till this moment ,right down to the barmaid. And if you can find one that says that I have treated them with any malice or unkind words,...anyone...I will leave here with no ill feelings towards anyone here in this castle and not return. I came here looking for no more that a meal and a bunk for the evening.As of this moment I have paid my tab in full and then some,so if need be I will leave here knowing that I owe noone anything * He looks at her returning his folded hands once again over his lips awaiting her responce* Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last Edited By: lazarid anarion1 09/29/11 10:27 PM.

The letter, as far as she could tell, seems legitimate, though she'll feel better once she speaks to the druid guild master herself. "This in an Inn and you're more than welcome to spend the night here if needed," the druidess assures him in case her hostility has made him reconsider his stay. "I will be confirming your story in Kelethin and provided it checks out, I would like to assist you. I have never met Sierraa, as far as I can recollect anyway, but she is a druid of Tunare and that makes her my sister. I want to help find her as I would any sister. So, please tell me, why were you and your wife searching for these portals in the first place? How did you first learn of them?" Last Edited By: Starlene Antares 09/29/11 11:00 PM. Edited 2 times.

Sierraa has enjoyed the water fall not far from here for many years,long before I even met her.When we began out courtship we spent many days in the area either hunting or just watching the days go by.She very well could have been heading for the falls for a swim or just to relax and enjoy the day as she done many times. When the word came to me that she had missed a meeting with her guildmaster and noone had seen her a search was under way to try to locate her,according to what I was told by her Guild Master the search was several days under way with no results. I was in Paineel at the time in meetings with my guild masters when the word came to me by a runner with a summons to meet with her Guild Master in Kelethin,hence my first meeting with him. That in a nutshell is how I found out she had gone missing How did I first learn of them? This goes some time back to when I was a good bit younger and spending alot of time in Plane of Knowlage.I had by chance run into an old Gnome Wizard named Quell Demarr in MaCenzies Pub.He had clearly had way to much to drink and was babbling about the stone from the sky that had fallen in the Burning Woods some years before.He said the stone wwas a precurser to what would be strange things to come over the years. I would sit and listen to his stories of his tinkering a tube that would able one to see far off places and stars in the night sky would be brought in so close you could almost reach out and touch them.he said there were many more of these stones and there was a chance there would be more fall in the future,according to him he had seen at least one more .Most would scoff at the old Wizard and tell him he had lost his mind,but I found his stories amusing and would sit and talk to him for hours on end I had dismissed his stories as the ramblings of a drunk and thought no more of them till I first located the portal .Then I began to wonder if there might be a connection.I had taking a detour to The Burning Woods to see this stone for myself.When I walked up to the huge hole it made in the ground I could see it was still glowing as if a fire was being held within it.I am beginning to wonder if the stone might have something to do with the portal showing up as it has.I am not sure if there could be any more of these anywhere else,but I am sure by now the word has gotten out so people will not fall into one of them.So far this is the only one that I know of. On my first trip to the area I had stopped at the small famering village over close to the mountains to find out what I could,hoping one of them had seen her.One of the famers told that she had passed through the area a few days earlier and was heading towards the falls when he had seen her last.So the tracker I had hired picked up her trail from that point and that is when I had located the portal ,right where her trail ended. I had marked the entrance by placing several small riocks in a semi circle patters so I would know where to look.I wont have any trouble finding if again,providing it isnt either closed or moved elsewhere And I would be greatfull for any assistance Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What fell in the Burning Woods is a meteorite some of sort. I admit it's odd that it's still burning all these years later, but I find it hard to believe the two are related. The Burning Woods is in Kunark, Kithicor and the Karanas where these portals are or might be are in Antonica, thousands of miles from Kunark with a massive ocean separating us. It seems odd that a burning rock on one continent would cause mysterious portals in another, though I suppose anything is possible. Do you have any sort of solid evidence that these two are actually connected, or is it just mainly a hunch for now?"

When Lazrid speaks of the falling stone, Keats furrows his brow a bit and glances at Starlene and Karesand. He's no scientist or even particularly observant of natural phenomena, but tales, signs, and wonders...that's another story. Falling stones from the sky...shooting stars as precursors of things to come...yes, perhaps. Perhaps not so much a direct, natural connection between the burning rock in Kunark and the portals on Antonica as a potential supernatural one. Or perhaps they're unrelated entirely, mere coincidence. He shrugs and goes on. I don't entirely see how one presages the other, but I've heard of stranger things. I think we all have. Keats pauses, takes a sip of his wine, then shakes his head. I'm sorry, could you remind me again of how long she's been missing?

He sits for a moment in silence, taking another sip of wine, then glances at Twilight and Karesand. Belatedly he notices Aambross' arrival with the mention of his name...

After a few minutes of looking at the lamp he finished prepping for bed and blew out the lamp casting the room into darkness.Laying back onto the bed he felt the stress of the day begin to melt away and soon he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Soon after the dream came to him ~ Lazrid was deep into a prolonged meeting with his guild master when a runner entered the guild masters office out of breath.The runner caught his breath before saying~ My apologies Guild master but I am looking for Lazrid Anarion Are you Lazrid Anarion,husband of Sierraa Daane? ~The runner asked him~ Yes I am ~Lazrid replied looking at him with a small smile~ What can I do for you? I have a message from the Druid guildmaster in Kelethin concerning Sierraa M'Lord ~ The runner replied to him as he handed a scroll to Lazrid~ This scroll will grant you passage into Kelethin to speak with the Druid guildmaster,he asks you to make haste. Inform the guildmaster that I am on my way ~ The runner bowed and run off in a blur as Lazrid grabbed a Spirit of the Wolf potion from his pack and drank it down,within a few seconds Lazrid was heading for the Kelethin Stone as fast as the messenger was before him.Arriving in Greater Faydark Lazrid started towards the lift with the scroll in hand.The guards upon seeing a Necromancer in their lands started towards him with swords drawn and shouting for him to surrender at once.This time Lazrid done as he was told and handed the scroll to one of the guards. The guard opened the scroll,within a few seconds the guard looked at Lazrid and motioned for the Necromancer to follow them to the Druid guildmaster. The guards stood on each side of him as if he was under arrest as the lift topped out in the tree city.People that were waiting on the lift looked at Lazrid with distaste knowing that a Necromancer was among them and there was nothing they could do to rid their city of such a vial person. The trio quickly made their way to the Druid guildmaster,the guard opened the door and informed the occupants that Lazrid had arrived.The Guildmaster motioned the guards to leave them be and invited him in.~ Please have a seat Lazrid.Something to drink? ~The master asked as he poured himself some dwarvin ale~ I will pass,thank you for the offer though.Shall we get to business concerning my wife?What has happened to her? ~Lazrid said as he took a seat across the huge Oak desk from the Druid.The Guildmaster looked down at his desk for a moment before meeting Lazrid's gaze~ It seems that she has come up missing.I have had my people looking all over Norrath for her and not a soul has so much laid eyes on her.We lost her in East Karana,there was a farmer that sold her some food and gave her a place to rest for the night not to far from the bridge. The farmer told my people that she left at first light and he watched her just dissapear not to far from his farm into a shimmering area that had appeared the day before. I talked to a Wizard in Felwith about the shimmer and he went to take a look.He told me that it was nothing like he had seen before.He sent his Eye of Zoom to it for a closer look,it was pulled into it as well and did not return nor could he see what was on the other side.The Wizard told me that it is some sort of portal,to where he was not sure but it was a portal...... ~Lazrid listened in disbelief as the master finished telling him what he knew~ I have to try to locate her,thank you for informing me of this Guildmaster,what you have told me will be a help I am sure. ~The Druid told Lazrid that he would continue to look and let the Necromancer know if anymore information came to light. Lazrid stood and bowed to the Druid and cast gate to take him back to Plane of Knowlage.Arriving at his bind point he quickly headed for the bazaar for some supplies that he would need for the journey to the Karanas.Picking up a few Spirit of the Wolf potions,Essence Emeralds,healing potions and a few other items he felt was needed. Popping a pet he quickly scribbled a note to The his guild leader informing her of what had happened and he was going to find Sierraa.Giving the pet the note he told it to take the note to Nizyana.The pet scurried off and Lazrid headed for East Karana. Upon arriving in east Karana just after dark Lazrid headed for the farm house to speak to the farmer.The old man told him what he saw and pointed towards the waterfall.Lazarid thanked the farmer before heading back towards the bridge to make camp for the night. He made his way under the bridge to strike camp so he would be out of any weather should a storm drench the area while he was sleeping.~ Oh yea,my pet. ~ he thought as the first fingers of flame rose from the camp fire he started so he could warm some food he had brought.He knew the pet could find him eventually but the pet would offer a measure of protection as he slept.He stood up and cast summon companion and within a few seconds his pet was at his side~ Guard this area ~ He told the pet.The pet took a position not to far from him and stared out into the darkness watching unseen creatures stirring just out of sight.Eating his meal he watched the fire begin to die out before falling into an uneasy sleep. Waking as the first traces of daylight began tinting the eastern sky Lazrid broke camp,called his pet to him, and headed upriver towards the falls.Picking up a handfull of small rocks as he made his way along the bank he decided that the rocks would be a good way to find this portal that the Druid told him of the day before rather than stepping into it and ending up who knows where.He climbed the bank after a few minutes for a look around.Not seeing the portal he wondered if it simply wasn't visable.Casting Dead Man Floating he lifted off the ground a bit and the colors of the day changed as invisable things started coming into view.He then began tossing the rocks out in front of him,walking to where the rock had come to rest before throwing another one.After several throws he finally saw a small ripple as if tossing a pebble into the water~ There it is ~He caught himself saying aloud as if he expected his pet to reply to his words~ One portal I do believe. ~ He threw a few more rocks each closer than the last so he could find the edge of the portal.When the rocks began hitting the ground he threw some more to each side to mark the line of no return.Dropping Dead Man Floating he thought of what he should do.Deciding he needed someone who knew more about ports and porting than he did he once again scribbled a note and handed it to his pet.He told the pet to take the note to a Wizard he had befriended in Plane of Knowlage,since they were well known for gating and translocating to various places. Soon the Wizard arrived and greeted Lazrid.He told the Wizard what he knew as they looked at the portal.The Gnome looked through what books and scrolls he had brought and finally told Lazrid that he had no idea what it was for sure or where it led to.He thanked the Wizard for his help as he gated back to Plane of Knowlage leaving Lazrid to his thoughts. After a few hours debating with himself he decided if he was to find Sierraa chances were this thing was the way he would do so.He took what he hoped wasn't a last look around and stepped into the portal and was gone.~ * The Necromancer woke from his dream with sweat pouring off of him as if he just took a swim even though it was a comfortable tempature in the room. He looked around and the darkness was still surrounding him.Just a dim light was filtering through the window from an unknown source.He felt as if he was living the dream and sat up in bed to allow the sweat to dry from his skin.He tried to chase the dream from his mind once again but it lingered for some time before he finally managed to relax enough to lay back down again.He was still unsure if it was a dream or if it was a memory from an actual event that somehow his mind had decided to block from his concious side .Before long he finally drifted back to an uneasy sleep* Sierraa Daane's Husband ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I Am Sinner I Hold My Prayers Up To The Sun I Am Sinner Heaven's Closed For What I've Done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last Edited By: lazarid anarion1 10/02/11 1:23 AM.
