Setting
You have come at a most dire time. The land is steadily falling into much strife with each passing turn of the sun. Plague spreads across the Kingdom of Skyfall, sending many men to an early grave. It is close to claiming the King and along with it, the Crystal Crown. The Noble Houses of Markett, Traeger, and Edenhelm are all laying claim to the throne with political savagery and causing much dissent in the land due to chaos. Civil war is drawing more near as tensions rise between the Houses as Skyfall may soon be left leaderless from the death of their Beloved King Lesym Tharcey Edenhelm. The denizens of Skyfall are left to ponder who will rise up while the elderly, the young, and the frail are stricken with the plague. Clerics scramble in order to find a cure but none has been found, only a road to an untroubled death through medicine.
In the isolated Kingdom of Mahark, inside The Exalted Mountains, the Dwarves still dig as deep as the earth will allow. It has come to light that they may have dug too far. An artifact of great proportions had been unearthed and revealed in the depths of the mountains. Not even the lore of the Dwarven Lords recite such an article in the Tales of Mahark. Details of the artifact cannot be uncovered as any who travel too close disappear and are never seen again. Dwarves ride as fast as their steeds will allow in order to reach the Neluthien Kingdom. They seek to speak with the elves and collect their intellect on the matter, even if they must begrudgingly pay a hefty fee of precious mithril arms and armament.
Meanwhile, Kingdom of Neluthien remains as silent as it always has been, hiding many secrets inside the Elwendil Woods. But if one were a Child of the Woods, they would speak of the Elven War raging within the depth of the forest. All stake claim for ultimate rule as the Vallade House and the Ithlond House attempt to grasp absolute power. While most denizens follow the Old Ways and the Vallade, their are some who whisper of how Ithlond's ideals are more agreeable. And as the treachery between the divided Houses, the Diviners begin to speak of ill omens and a shadow which is extending its arm out for the Kingdom of Skyfall, intent on swallowing all life on Gaia.
So tell me, Adventurer, are you adamant in your decision to step foot upon the soils of Gaia's Realms, or have you now grown enough conscious to believe that it is best to turn your back on this world?
Gaia
A planet within the Sirius System that orbits the dead star; Eras. However, Gaia is not lacking light. Two other stars orbit the planet itself; Atargatis and Sagittae. Three moons provide temporary night when eclipses take event, otherwise Gaia is always bathed in sunlight. It is only due to the magical nature of Mother Gaia which provides the necessities for fantastical life to grow, the planet always ever watching over her beloved children who roam her earth.

Freyja
Synje Thistledown shrugs slightly and tucks the leg back into his pouch, that small, wicked smile just on the edge of his mouth. There is no malice there, though. There doesn't even appear to be wariness. Synje almost seems amused, like he knows something funny is about to happen but he doesn't want to tell anyone.
An' dat's where yer only 'alf right. I guess if I weren' also 'alf sometin' ot'er dan elf, den mayhaps dis 'ere talk wouldnae be takin' place, no?
In contrast, Alistair is still very wary. Something is definitely wrong, though there has been no violence quite yet. He stabs his spear into the ground nearby, ready to grab it. His other hand is still inside the cloak's sleeve, still ready for action.
Alistair was confused, his face dropping into a suspicious neutral stare. How did this thing know what he was?
Synje Thistledown chuckles slightly under his breath, a raspy sound, like to sandstone being rubbed together. Shaking his head, Synje turns around and begins to walk off, the same careless canter he had before, obviously unconcerned with Alistair or his reaction.
Alistair was equally as indifferent. It didn't matter how Synje knew, as long as he wasn't going to attack, Alistair was content to go about his business. He grabbed his spear as he walked back the way he came, vaguely.
Synje Thistledown continues to walk about, but he responds, his voice barely audible above the rustling of the leaves.
Thankfully, Alistair's ears were a decent amount better than an average human's. He barely picked up the words over the woods, but threw back a reply.
Synje Thistledown heard the response but didn't even bother to reply. Because in truth, the kid was right, which is why he only ate their pancreas. Sweet meats. Oh yum.
Freja Ortega had somehow arrived on another strange world. But then she noticed what looked like an abandoned fortress ahead of her. "Hmm...that looks perfect for a base! Heck, my old base was a fortress much like this one. Whatever this place is, they will soon know the might of the Asterion Bandits!" she said, approaching the old fortress that seemed to be standing alone, like a stoic warrior standing guard over the grassy plains. "There's a bit more plant life here than my previous base though. I wonder how the guys back home are doing."
