the Shadow World,
Principle Actors:
Haelyn, Patron of Anuire
Rournil, the Moon God
Script:
H, “he watches us”
R, points out at the Cold Rider, “that thing there”
H, “indeed. Can you not feel it?”
R, “I can tell a lot of things are watching me, you, us…”
H, “Do not be cryptic in dealing with me Silver Prince”
R, “I do not try to waste your time but at least seven of your followers lay in wait close by keeping watch”
H, stands firm
R, “that thing is what the outsiders call the Cold Rider”
H, “Indeed. I have been fighting a new plague of demons coming in from this hole in the Shadow World”
R, “Indeed, you see this nexus for what it is, a rip in the Shadow World. A strike at the curse of Azari”
H, “so tell me Silver Prince where did this rip originate?”
R, “what you should be more concerned with is what effect it will take”
H, “Do not play games with me, speak tell me what I came to know”
R, “what does seem certain is that the Cold Rider is indeed the legacy of the curse of Azari. But what is cloudy is from where hence the rip did start and what damage it will cause”
H, “Silver Prince tell me what must be done and it will be so”
R, “oh Lord of Noble War when I do figure it all out you will be the first to know the name to bring swift justice to those that seek to do harm to your Empire”
H, “What is this? Am I to be run afoul?
R, “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K”
H, “Indeed”
R “Have you ever heard of a witch known as Yaga Baba?”
H, “No but if you tell me where pretence this hag can be found I will procure her for you”
R, “I have already dispatched agents to investigate”
H, “Hark! If the witch is the cause of this I will track her down personally and bring her to you!”
R, “It could be that simple but it never is”
H, “Indeed Silver Prince you are wise and I have always enjoyed your council. Tell me, about the danger the rip”
R, “the Queen of the Seelie think that they can tame the chaos over time. But the danger comes from what happens to the curse of Azari. There remains a possibility that the curse will not simply be erased and my hypothesis is that the negative energy is not being destroyed but being channeled into the creature known as the Cold Rider. The worst case scenario being that the Shadow World condenses and Azari is reborn’
H, “tell me it is not so…”
R, “Do not sound defeated. Anduiras and Vorynn defeated Azari once before”
H, “Indeed. Now tell me what news of my Empire?”
R, “What is easily gathered is that the witch Yaga Baba was some how able to manipulate nature itself down to the very seasons and time of day, even effect of the Moon. This wicked manipulation let the hag lay in wait guarding herself from notice but what reason the witch did this still remains a mystery to me. Fore years Yaga Baba remained in are world and besides the petty affairs of humans only one thing sticks out to me personally. A century ago I imbued a sword with mighty power to liberate my followers near the ancient sight of Deismaar (for our players that is the
H, “But what does this have to do with my Empire?’
R, “this petty regent, Raphael Saberstrike has rise to a king of your Empire”
H, “I know not of who you speak!”
R, “Yes, rather recent in time, a few years, barely a grain of sand in the infinite hourglass. But using the false sword the petty regent has rise to the title of king”
H, “Well then I will unleash the dogs of war and wipe his family from the map”
R, “my I request oh great Lawmaker, that I be allowed the honor of deliver the justice that goes with stealing from a god”
H, “Indeed Silver Prince if it is your wish to purge this evil from my Empire then the honor and glory is yours alone”
R, “Oh a million thanks to the Lord of Noble War. But what is this? Hark, a message from a well-wisher. Lawmaker conceal yourself I am about to receive strange visitors”
