Introduction



As The Dragons Slumber



The world of Khassus was born a very long time ago.

The old stories are always the same in spirit. They follow a precise line that every man, woman and child knows. The universe began with the Dragons. Seven great beasts from whom existence and the very nature of our reality sprang. It was in time immemorial they curled together into a ball and fell asleep. Magic poured from their scales, feeding and creating life, and the gods sprang forth from this well. Annisus the Mother, and Lluorn the Father. From them sprang shielding light in the goddess Aesium, and eternal darkness in the Black God. There would be in total twenty one gods to rise before any others, the greatest of all the deities who would ever form. For a time they tended to the Dragons, keeping them in their slumber. Eventually, twelve of these came together, pouring their power to cover the surface of the Dragons' armor in earth, water, rock, trees and- finally- mortal life. They tended and protected these races. As new gods appeared, some would join them. Some did not care. Others wished to wake the Dragons, an act that would change the world.. though just how, none could say. The story varies between cultures, but a few constants remain the same if not by different names. The Dragons, the Mother and Father, the Darkness and the Light. Twenty one and twelve. This tale has shaped the beliefs of millions across the world. It is only the basis of why you are here.





The soil is rich with magic. It radiates up from the ground and sustains us; animates us. Sometimes that energy accumulates into natural vessels. These lodestones are precious. More valuable than gems, gold or silver. With the way they are cut, and by whom they are used, they could be exploited for any numbers of purposes. To bring abundant crop or fair weather, to heal diseases and bring back the dead, lift curses, and any other manner of seemingly impossible feats. These rocks are capable of performing them. They are few, far between and excessively sought after by rulers, collectors, mages and any who would see them used for personal gain. Whatever your reason, you're here because of one of these stones. Rumors of a fabulous find deep in a ruined city hidden away in a jungle on an island in the Naua Te archipelago, home of the sea elves, have reached your ear. Perhaps you are under contract, or are seeking to take this treasure for yourself? Two ships have since left port from the city Saridur, each carrying a number of these seekers. Soon they will meet, and their destinies will take hold.

#, as written by Juular
So much variety, Balor mused with attentive eyes. First came the Bosphorean, literally pushing their money onto the poor captain who seemed swamped with so many who sought to board his vessel. Obviously not accustomed to the mannerisms the species, who were so uncommon beyond their own land, were capable of. The captain regarded the formidable being curiously, and with an air that said he did not very much like manner of the presentation of the gold. Still, he accepted it nonetheless. A judicious man, this one. It seemed he was cool under pressure, as well. He did seem rather experienced, for his age. He watched the Narans ascend the ramp, confirmation of their voyage arrangements settled. He would have pitied the gangplank, were it capable of feeling pain. The sheer amount of stress it was being put under. He shuddered to think. The Naraga's crossing alone nearly caused it to crack and send her down into the waters below. That would have been most unfortunate, not the least of which for her pride, of course. It seemed things were starting to get underway, and Balor decided he should tarry no longer.

He stepped back onto the boarding ramp, sifting through his satchel simultaneously. "I know I have it here, somewhere," he grumbled under his breath, brushing aside small books, sheets of paper, a few fetishes and an old, faded strip of painted cloth. He furrowed his brow at this last one, "Now, what were you?" He wondered, coming close to losing track of his thoughts momentarily. He shook his head, returning to the matter at hand, and continued digging. Seconds later he smiled, "Ah! There we are." He grasped three sacks of coin between his fingers and lifted them out, holding them for the captain to procure. "This should, I believe, suffice," he said with a smile.
