  1. Bright coastline along the Inner Sea.
  2. A strong gale has developed here. Birds splash about in the water and rest in groups along the sands, scattering at any sudden movement with indignant caws. Sitting at the edge of the water, little fish can be seen swimming near the shallows, silvery lines in the water. A conch shell seems to be moving about on its own, until crabby legs reveal the crustacean hermit residing within it. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand. A slender leothin sits here motionless, brightening its surroundings with its natural golden bio-luminescence. Gurashi, The Heart's Friend with an Unknown face shifts and blurs, their figure cast into uncertainty by the enveloping Presence that lingers large, unseen, and heavy about their form. They wield a vibrant mandolin of songbirds and stars in their left hand. Humble Ferne is here.
  3. You see exits leading north, northeast, south, and northwest.
  4. The last vestiges of midnight shadows flee as Mother Night hides herself from the luminous arrival of her shining mate as he chases her across the bowl of the sky.
  5. The glittering mist around Muginn burns away, the moaning visages of the damned slowly seeping back into his coat.
  6. Gurashi throws back their head as they laugh.
  7. Snapping its left pincer, a scuttling crab exits to the northwest.
  8. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "The only place im enemied is the keph hives."
  9. As the sun's rays begin to break over the horizon, a slender leothin's amaranthine visage begins to fade back to a soft gray, wings dissolving like mist with the morning light.
  10. Lifting their foot, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Three booties and a Bizi!"
  11. A wry smile spreads across your face.

  34. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "And also the candy in crumkanes realm but shhh."
  35. Humble Ferne says, "Gotta get me some boots next... And teach Raiya to gallop everywhere."
  36. You nod your head sagely.
  37. Your declaration of intent to bear arms against Ferne has expired.
  38. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "Is there any way to see what entermsg you currently have? From the demigod powers?"
  39. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northeast, sniffing at the ground.
  40. ==== something entered from northeast, ====
  41. ==== Something entered the room from northeast, ====
  42. Humble Ferne says, "Though I don't think she can when we speedwalk somewhere."
  43. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northeast.
  44. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  45. Giggling, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Before you know it, you will be as fastly as me! You will!" They shake the last bit of snow from their hair. "Even faster maybe? I have been working on being fastly for a long long long time."
  46. Muginn ruffles his feathers, stirring up puffs of fog.
  47. Eyestalks twisting about curiously, a scuttling crab arrives from the north.

  52. Gurashi nods their head emphatically.
  53. Gurashi looks at Ferne, face lighting up as they smile brightly at her.
  54. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Ferne, "We will be here!"
  55. Ferne swoops and tumbles through the air, her wings beating furiously in a spectacular display of aerial acrobatics.
  56. Ferne's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.
  57. Gurashi looks up, suddenly clapping their hand atop their head to keep their hat from flying off as a gust of wind billows on by. "Be safely!"
  58. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Ouwah that -winds-."
  59. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  60. Gurashi flails about helplessly.
  61. Ferne searches the air in front of her, then tugs upon an invisible strand of force.
  62. Gurashi wobbles over to you, laughing.
  63. Ferne ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."
  64. Gurashi tilts their head curiously at Ferne.
  65. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks Ferne, "Are O-K?"
  66. Comprehension flashes across Ferne's face.
  67. Gurashi gives a springy leothin origami to Humble Ferne.
  68. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Do not forget to release that!"
  69. Humble Ferne says, "Can't teleport to a moving person."
  70. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Tell them to stop moving so muchly!"
  71. Gurashi throws back their head as they laugh.
  72. Humble Ferne says, "Thank you for the bizigami!"
  73. You see Ferne say something, but her voice is drowned out by the wind.
  74. Gurashi nods their head emphatically.
  75. Gurashi nods their head emphatically.
  76. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Be safely, have fun!"

  78. Ferne turns translucent and then vanishes, leaving behind a cloud of sparkling motes of light.
  79. ==== Ferne Teleported away ====
  80. Gurashi's eyes light up as they smile.
  81. You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
  82. Gurashi looks suddenly to you, face lighting up as they smile brightly.
  83. Gurashi reaches over and ruffles your hair with a fond expression.
  84. A wry smile spreads across your face.
  85. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks you, "-So-. What is -newly- in -your- lifes?"
  86. You flop down onto the ground.
  87. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Mm... not muchly? Besides those quests I did."
  88. Gurashi nods, sinking down to sit, their back to your, leaning against the mugwump comfortably as they pull out their instrument. "That is O-K."
  89. You have emoted: Cheliyi huffs. "And I still have to plan for the solstice festival, but I do not even know if I will be awake for it. My soul is super tired."
  90. You lean on Gurashi seeking consolation.
  91. Gurashi glances over their shoulder, still plucking on the mandolin. "What do you still need to be doing still? What can I help you with?"
  92. You sigh quietly, frills drooping as your tail sags.
  93. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "I just need to schedule everything. Again. Because now it is supposed to be three months instead of two. But no one is awake long enough to help me, and Lord Nocht and Lady Viravain are very busy, so I do not know what to do by myself."
  94. Growing frustrated, you say, "I have never even celebrated solstice before! I do not know why I thought I could do this."
  95. Still playing, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "Hey, hey..."
  96. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "You are doing -fine-."
  97. You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.
  98. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Mm."
  99. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  100. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "It is very frustrating doing things by yourself. But you are not by yourself - I may not be IN the Glomdorings... I will do anything and everything to help you make it a goodly party." They look forward again. "Can help write any things? What still need to organize? Can you tell me the plan?"
  101. You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.
  102. Sunlight billows across the realm, revealing the full glory of the majestic sun's luminous presence as he climbs higher into the sky.
  103. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Mm. So, the first day is supposed to be super bigly. Everyone comes in and has foods and dancing, and then I am supposed to make a huge thing where I show the beauty of the Lady's creation, yes. I was thinking about singing my sibling's song, but Lady Viravain is busy and I wanted to ask permissions."
  104. Bizirik's head begins to droop. It opens its great maw and curls back its lips to allow its forked tongue to unfurl as it yawns before snapping its mouth shut.
  105. With a nod, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks, "Make a huge thing? Like, perform something?"
  106. You have emoted: Cheliyi nods. "It would be a little weirdly, performing it for peoples, but I think it would help people understand why my siblings are so goodly and amazing."
  107. You glance askance.
  108. Gurashi looks suddenly to you, face lighting up as they smile brightly.
  109. Gurashi nods their head at you.
  110. Gurashi nods their head at you.
  111. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Although, it will be a little hard without hearing them."
  112. Tilting her head to one side, you say, "And I am not a bard. Or have fancy illusions."
  113. Curiously, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "You know the song, though. It is always within you, yes - it is."
  114. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  115. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Well... yes. It is. But it is just a memory."
  116. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "That's what songs -are-."
  117. Gurashi leans back against you, looking up with a smile at the sky as they play.
  118. You have emoted: Cheliyi sighs and pulls her knees up to her chest. "If I am singing alone, it is not the same. My siblings are like... a whole big, big, band. I am just one part."
  119. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "I can try to sing a harmony. But..."
  120. You have emoted: Cheliyi sighs and leans back, letting her head lean against Gurashi's own.
  121. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "What would be really cool is if that was how cheliyi got her siblings to hear again lol."
  122. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "I was just thinking."
  123. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "Could be super pretty."
  124. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "But like. i don't want to break LORE or smth so i am Scared To Do It Without Permisson."
  125. Gurashi pauses in their plucking, looking again over their shoulder, listening. "What makes you think they are not also singing with you?" They cant their head, strumming their mandolin ... you do not know the song, but there is something distinctly Wyrden to it. "Some things cannot be seen with eyes... Or heard with the ears... but doesn't mean are not there?"
  126. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "I say do it."
  127. You have emoted: Cheliyi glances askance, a frown tugging at her lips. "I used to be able to hear them."
  128. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "As long as you are praising Glom it's -fine-."
  129. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  130. Still playing, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "And will hear them again."
  131. Softer, you say, "Will I, though? I think it has almost been a decade."
  132. Gazing upward, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Just a bit longer than I was without -my- voice."
  133. Gurashi glances askance.
  134. You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
  135. Bizirik's head begins to droop. It opens its great maw and curls back its lips to allow its forked tongue to unfurl as it yawns before snapping its mouth shut.
  136. The sun reaches the zenith of the firmament, pausing in his quest to allow the land to bask in his shining golden rays.
  137. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the north.
  138. ==== something entered from north. ====
  139. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  140. Gurashi looks down at their instrument. "Some things take... time..."
  141. The sound of crashing waves fills your ears, the scent of salt lingering in the air.
  142. You lean on Gurashi seeking consolation.
  143. Without looking back, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "We are never alone, mine-child. Every minute that we are thinking of someone, they are with us."
  144. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "Man if only i knew illusions."
  145.  
  146. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "Man if only i knew illusions."
  147. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "*shakes fist*."
  148. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Eyes in italics."
  149. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northwest, sniffing at the ground.
  150. ==== something entered from northwest, ====
  151. ==== Something entered the room from northwest, ====
  152. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.

  158. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northeast.
  159. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  160. ... a psionic pulse, like a reassuring hand on the shoulder, as brief as the passing breeze ...
  161. You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.
  162. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Oh and my poppy just changed to indigo whee."

  171. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the north.
  172. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  173. You nod your head emphatically.
  174. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "They have to approve of the event."
  175. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "Write a letter if you are not seeing them wakings. I think it sounds like a goodly idea." They pause. "I understand if do not want to sing the song. But I think you are right. I think it would help bring understandings... ah."
  176. You nod your head slowly in understanding.
  177. You tilt your head curiously at Gurashi.
  178. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  179. A beach mongrel slinks in from the north, sniffing at the ground.
  180. ==== something entered from north, ====
  181. ==== Something entered the room from north, ====
  182. Continuing to strum, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks you, "So, what is the second day?"
  183. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northeast.
  184. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  185. (Market): Velgatz says, "Seeking an Aeonics user."
  186. Muginn ruffles his feathers, stirring up puffs of fog.
  187. The hollow voice of Amirae reverberates in your mind, "Hope you're okay!"
  188. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Mm, then it would be a surprise design contest! Everyone has to make a wyrden food from a category, and maybe we could get Lord Nocht or Lady Viravain to judge, but I know they are busy. Whoever makes the best design wins! And gets like... 20 creddies? I am not sure for the prize. Then there is enoying more foods, and telling stories around a... bonfire, yes. I will have someone else make it. Maybe with the weirdly shadow fire."
  189. Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Treehugger Amirae, "Thank you!"
  190. Gurashi throws back their head as they laugh.
  191. Shaking their head, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks, "Surprise design contests are fun! We did those at the last one, too! A wyrden food from a category? Will it be randomly picked?"
  192. (Trasto): Ayisdra says, "As low of a comm cost as you can get it - the tradeoff being you use a lot more power in refining."
  193. A boxturtle inches its way in from the north.
  194. ==== something entered from north. ====
  195. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  196. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to you, "You should find out how muchly the commune has in credits and gold - the Courts may want to increase the prize? They did for me at least."
  197. Gurashi ponders the situation.
  198. You nod your head emphatically.
  199. Continuing the hunt for his dark mate, Father Sun presses forward in his journey, lowering himself in the sky yet still casting even, full light upon the land.
  200. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "I think I have already chosen a category, but I could... spin a wheel? To make it more fun!"
  201. (Trasto): Ayisdra says, "Yeah. I use shoes myself."
  202. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "The storytelling would also be a competition, yes."
  203. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  204. (Trasto): Ayisdra says, "With shoes, it is like 40 pairs of shoes (which turns out to be like 200% power in total? something like that)."
  205. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northwest, sniffing at the ground.
  206. ==== something entered from northwest, ====
  207. ==== Something entered the room from northwest, ====
  208. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northeast.
  209. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  210. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "Sounds about exactly like needles for jewellery."
  211. Gurashi's shoulders bunch as they let out a short giggle.
  212. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "This day would be reserved for allies only, yes. Which is a little sad, but necessary, I think."
  213. Nodding, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "That is smart."
  214. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northeast.
  215. ==== something entered from northeast. ====
  216. ==== Something entered the room from northeast. ====
  217. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "That is what was like last time, too. A chance for everyone to come, and a day for only friends."
  218. You nod your head emphatically.
  219. You sigh quietly, frills drooping as your tail sags.
  220. Gurashi smiles, continuing to strum away. "If you have a category, then keep with what you have. Less work."
  221. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the north.
  222. ==== something entered from north. ====
  223. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  224. (Trasto): Astrina says, "And is it better to refine with gold or items? Maybe they're about equivalent?"
  225. Light spreads across Gurashi's back in numerous colours and hues, enfolding them like butterfly wings.
  226. (Trasto): Ayisdra says, "Items."
  227. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "Definitely items."
  228. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "With gold it's 12k gold apiece."
  229. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "But then Miss Afollia wants a third day, so then would be a game, yes. The vengeance game! Then Sibling Esei would perform a ritual giving thanks to my siblings and the Wyrd, and then we would have a gift exchange, yes. Secret solstice, I think? Still need to start that list now, I think."
  230. (Trasto): Astrina says, "Ahhh OK I see you're saying I make 40 pairs of shoes and combine refine them all together."
  231. Squawking and honking loudly, a squat pelican flutters in from the northwest.
  232. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  233. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====

  235. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  236. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  237. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "Yeah, exactly."
  238. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northeast.
  239. Gurashi blinks.
  240. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  241. Gurashi blinks.
  242. A boxturtle inches its way out to the north.
  243. ==== Something exits from north. ====
  244. (Trasto): Astrina says, "OK and wow that's a lot of power OK this will be an interesting experiment."
  245. Surprised, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks you, "Oh - the party is when again?"
  246. Squawking and honking loudly, a squat pelican flutters off to the north.
  247. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  248. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northeast.

  251. Gurashi jerks slightly as the air fills with sparkling motes of bright light.
  252. Gurashi's eyes light up as they smile.
  253. Among the sparkling motes of light, a translucent figure appears in the air and then quickly solidifies as Ferne comes into view.
  254. ==== Ferne teleported to you ====
  255. Gurashi beams broadly at Ferne.
  256. You glance askance.
  257. Raising her hand in greeting, Ferne says "Hi!"
  258. (Trasto): Gyorn says, "I assume it's the same with tailoring, but with jewellery it varies from needing 37 items to 43 items to get a "unique piece of craftsmanship"."
  259. Their back resting against Cheliyi's, both seated upon the sand, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Welcome back, welcome back!"
  260. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "That is the biggest problem. I do not know when peoples will be awake, or when I will be awake."
  261. Gurashi nods their head emphatically.
  262. Gurashi's eyes light up as they smile.
  263. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "It may be -after- actual solstice, a bit."
  264. You sigh quietly, frills drooping as your tail sags.
  265. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend asks, "That's O-K?"
  266. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the north.
  267. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  268. A snowball melts and drains away in your hands.
  269. (Trasto): Astrina says, "Ahh ok that makes sense, awesome thanks for the help."
  270. (Trasto): Ayisdra (from the Aetherways) says, "Yeah, there is a bit more rng with it now."
  271. Happily, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Ferne, "Mine-child is planning a bigly party in the Glomdoring and am helping make sures is all sorted out."
  272. Gurashi plucks away at their mandolin still, humming. "Did scorpions die O-K?"

  294. 1st Person: Kneeling upon the ground, you trace a dark symbol, imploring Mother Night to
  295. shroud your trail.
  296. 3rd Person: Cheliyi kneels upon the ground, tracing a dark symbol whilst uttering, "Mother
  297. Night, shroud my trail."

  300. symbol flares upon Her brow before fading.
  301. 2nd Person: Cheliyi bows to you and whispers, "May Mother Night obscure your trail." A
  302. dark symbol burns across your brow before fading as quickly as it appeared.
  303. 3rd Person: Bowing before Iosai, Cheliyi whispers, "May Mother Night obscure your trail."
  304. A dark symbol flares across Iosai's brow before swiftly fading.

  970. Quietly, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend sings, "Hope to stay, hope all can see - Nothing matters but thee."
  971. Bizirik's head begins to droop. It opens its great maw and curls back its lips to allow its forked tongue to unfurl as it yawns before snapping its mouth shut.
  972. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  973. You have emoted: Cheliyi pushes herself back up to a sitting position, her face pinched with confusion and wonder. "..."

  975. Midnight shadows coalesce around a new day, and Mother Night embraces the land in utter darkness.
  976. It is now the 1st of Shanthin, 577 years after the Coming of Estarra.
  977. Gurashi looks up, watching a seagull wheeling overhead, eyeing the group in hopes for a scrap of food. Then, they look at Ferne, then you, blinking. "...and many... moooooore." They play suddenly, brightly, strumming a ridiculous ditty on their mandolin for all of two seconds.

  1018. Quiet coastline along the Inner Sea.
  1019. It is quite cool. The waves of the Inner Sea create the only noise along the coast, leaving behind a gentle foam and the scent of salt in the air. The sand shifts back and forth from golden to brown as the water rolls over it and then recedes, chasing back tiny birds who peck for bits of food within the grains. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  1034. Scattered seashells.
  1035. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. All over the sand, seashells of every imaginable size, colour, and kind have been carefully arranged. A pile of shells has been scattered by the wind a bit, not yet arranged into the other lines along with the other shells. Upon looking from further away, it becomes obvious there is an actual reasoning to the placing of the sea treasures, forming a mosaic of a whale and a dolphin frolicking out at sea.

  1051. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. One of the few places where several features of the tidelands are in one place, the beach, river, and the Inner Sea all meet here for an almost ethereal view. The caw of gulls, the crash of waves and the bubble of the river flowing combine to form a natural symphony to the ears, making for a comfortable spot to relax and just enjoy the music of nature. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  1067. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. A large strip of sand has built up over time to cross the width of the river, providing safe passage to the main beach from the side strips that stretch past the waters. A few palm trees grow here, birds resting at their crests quietly. To the side, a few coconuts have fallen into the sand, left untouched.

  1083. It is quite cool. The beach divided by the water of the Toronada, the sands are in patterns changing from the whitest bleached sand into muddy brown grains from the river itself. A few large shells speckle the ground, one of which is occupied by a slow moving hermit crab. A large spiral shell is in view from the northeast, as if a symbol to flock to when the time calls for it. Unearthed from the sand, a slippery clam lays nestled in the sand.

Three additional conch shells have been placed around the monstrous centerpiece, albeit much tinier in size, pointing to the north, southwest and southeast. From each direction the shells point to, a separate path leads to various areas of the tidelands.

A few frogs croak in the grasses alongside the river, hiding their bodies if not their voices from predators.

Fed directly by the rivers waters, the plants have flourished and taken over the sandier environment more common on the tidal flats. A ring of jagged rocks surrounds a pit in the ground, partially filled with chilly water also from the Toronada River. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

Almost connecting with a poorly crafted stand to the east, this shanty is of equally poor quality and craftsmanship. Planks of wood from smashed ships have been tied together with leather thongs and the occasional rusty nail that threaten to catch upon the skin or clothing of those who might walk too closely. Even the slightest breeze makes the rickety structure lean dangerously to the side, most likely to topple over if it were not propped up partially by barrels of clams.

Large amounts of clams lie discarded on the sands, pried open and the meat removed. Almost as common a sight as the shells themselves are more gulls, who caw and shriek at each other in attempts to find the shells with anything left to scavenge. The reason for the shells is made obvious, with a tiny stand made of driftwood, the banner of cloth above it bearing the words 'Quahog's Clams' scrawled upon it in green paint. Quahog, the Clamdigger putters about here, shovel in hand. Almost perfectly still, a starfish is here.

Before the small piles of rocks and shallow pits that pock the sands, the waves that roll upon the beach have formed a tidal pool in this location. Various creatures and items washed in with the tide lay trapped to various degrees, veritable treasures from the Inner Sea just waiting to be discovered. There are 2 black and white seagulls here.

The extensive view being that of warm golden sand lends a serene nature to this section of the beach. It is completely unmarred by blades of grass and dirt from the river forks or garbage from visitors to the area alike. Even the native creatures of the area seem sparse in population, save a few small crabs enjoying the silence and solitude. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  1339. It is quite cool. The Toronada river surrounds the sand in three directions, the caw of gulls and warmth reaching all travelers with ease. Tucked near the base of the forks, the sand here is perpetually damp, and the smell of salt lingers in the air. Several wooden planks have been neatly arranged here, obviously built from the same source as a sign driven deeply into the sand. A weather beaten sign is here, scrawled with blue paint. Affixed to a post is a bell, hanging just below a sign. Four pillars of sand flow onto a bed-sized slab of white marble which rises from the ground, surrounded by a nimbus of domotheon energies. Ruffling its wings slightly, a squat pelican is here, squawking hungrily.
  1340. You see exits leading southeast, south, southwest, and through a swirling portal of sand and light.
  1341. Gurashi, The Heart's Friend yells, "Can -too-!"
  1342. What do you wish to examine?
  1343. You cannot see that here.
  1344. Like a twig in a stream, you casually enter the swirling portal before you.

  1358. Before three humble structures.
  1359. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Wooden planks mark a path from the Toronada sand delta to this space before three small yet sturdy buildings. The buildings are made of soft limestone accented with slabs of white marble. The sanded, white, birch wood planks of the path open up into a large pavilion, carefully crafted to move with the shifting sands and water beneath its foundation. The sound of the flowing river dominates the area, allowing wise minds to wander among the white noise and contemplate the three buildings.

  1381. Opening into golden sands.
  1382. A strong gale has developed here. The Toronada river surrounds the sand in three directions, the caw of gulls and warmth reaching all travelers with ease. Tucked near the base of the forks, the sand here is perpetually damp, and the smell of salt lingers in the air. Several wooden planks have been neatly arranged here, obviously built from the same source as a sign driven deeply into the sand. A weather beaten sign is here, scrawled with blue paint.

  1421. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. It is quite cool. Startlingly clear skies compliment the expanse of golden sands of the beach. The grains in themselves are rather coarse due to less erosion from the waves than the grains in closer proximity to the Inner Sea's coastline. Closer to the forks of the Toronada, grass grows in sparse sections with the occasional blades rising up from the less sandy sections of the ground.

Piled upon the sand are several pyramids made from pebbles and mud, that gradually grow in size as they near the trickling water of the river. The sand itself is riddled with these pebbles as well as shells and larger rocks that have been deposited by the flow of the water. A lone coconut lays in the sand, detached from its original home and left to sit in the sun amidst the geological scraps.

Large amounts of clams lie discarded on the sands, pried open and the meat removed. Almost as common a sight as the shells themselves are more gulls, who caw and shriek at each other in attempts to find the shells with anything left to scavenge. The reason for the shells is made obvious, with a tiny stand made of driftwood, the banner of cloth above it bearing the words 'Quahog's Clams' scrawled upon it in green paint.

Large pieces of brightly dyed cloth take up any free space, weighted down spirits that have yet to be partaken of.

  1727. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. A strong gale has developed here. Swirls of bleached white grains lace through golden sand, a few shells scattered occasionally by creature and tide. Several torches that have been abandoned by their owners, ends wrapped in scorched cloth or almost fully diminished flames, are stuck in the sand.

  1744. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. The sand and water have surrounded the area on all sides, leaving a slight depression filled with water and encircled by rocks that allows the sea to transform the area into tideland. A few birds strut about, pecking at the sand for any bits of things edible. The sand itself has a rough texture underfoot, the finer grains meshed with crushed shells.

  1779. A strong gale has developed here. Cut in twain by a strip of dirt and rocks between the sand and the river, this levee has been hidden slightly by a wall of palm trees that thrive on this section of the beach. Birds float and bathe in the slow moving water, the gurgle of it moving along clashing slightly with the crash of the waves near the southern coastline.

  1797. It is quite cool. Blown free of valleys and mounds, the sand here is totally smooth and picked free of any litter. Enormous concha shells have been taken from the depths of the sea and arranged in careful formation here, rising up in nine spirals from the bone white sands. Torches have been thrown into the sand as well, granted with less care than the ornate shells. Footprints of various sizes and races trek around here in a circle, surrounding the remains of a long cold bonfire.

  1814. It is quite cool. Free of the stray pebbles and plants that are common in other areas of the tidelands, sand alone is here, forming sunny dunes. Hot underfoot, the sand is bleached a paler gold than the rest of the sand which is often damp. The scent of salt lingers in the air, with an undertone of a less pleasant fishy odor and the smell of smoke.

The water, clean and blue, spans out onto the horizon even as it lolls back and forth, creating a soothing noise in the air. The spray from the water makes the halfway buried shells shine and speckle as light catches on their pearlescent cores.

The smell of salt on the air is prominent, drifting in with the sea breeze. Odd piles of sand are in various locations here, accompanied also by an equal amount of holes. There are 2 black and white seagulls here.

It rises above a pool to the southeast, where many tracks in the sparse sand originate before leading here and then northeast, whereupon they abruptly stop at the start of the stone steps leading up the same cliff. The alcove is not as secluded as first glance would suggest. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

Jagged boulders have pushed up from the earth, rising towards the sky in the form of a cliff. Partially eroded, several more of the rocks have formed primitive steps leading to the top of the miniature peak.
  1900. You see exits leading southwest, west, and up.

As if it was once with a peak and a giant blade slashed at the top section at an angle, the ground here is perfectly smooth before leading to a jagged wall to the eastern side of the cliff. Moss has formed at sides, before starting to spill over the edges towards the ground below.

  2013. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Not unlike that of the smaller tidepools that litter the area, this pool is however much larger and also permanent, not relying on the waves for existence. Grasses and rocks surround the pool, which lies underneath a large cliff that looms above. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand. A slender leothin sits here motionless, brightening its surroundings with its natural golden bio-luminescence. Gurashi is here, flailing about helplessly. They wield a vibrant mandolin of songbirds and stars in their left hand.
  2014. You see exits leading north, southwest, and northwest.

Foamed water laps at the edges of a sandy pit lined with a few jagged rocks, the edges slowly becoming smooth by erosion over time. The sound of the sea is ever present, the caw of gulls especially shrill to the ears. Ruffling its wings slightly, a squat pelican is here, squawking hungrily.

  2106. Sunny dunes.
  2107. A strong gale has developed here. Free of the stray pebbles and plants that are common in other areas of the tidelands, sand alone is here, forming sunny dunes. Hot underfoot, the sand is bleached a paler gold than the rest of the sand which is often damp. The scent of salt lingers in the air, with an undertone of a less pleasant fishy odor and the smell of smoke.

  2122. Concha camp.
  2123. It is quite cool. Blown free of valleys and mounds, the sand here is totally smooth and picked free of any litter. Enormous concha shells have been taken from the depths of the sea and arranged in careful formation here, rising up in nine spirals from the bone white sands. Torches have been thrown into the sand as well, granted with less care than the ornate shells. Footprints of various sizes and races trek around here in a circle, surrounding the remains of a long cold bonfire.

  2139. It is quite cool. Cut in twain by a strip of dirt and rocks between the sand and the river, this levee has been hidden slightly by a wall of palm trees that thrive on this section of the beach. Birds float and bathe in the slow moving water, the gurgle of it moving along clashing slightly with the crash of the waves near the southern coastline. Almost perfectly still, a starfish is here. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

The sand and water have surrounded the area on all sides, leaving a slight depression filled with water and encircled by rocks that allows the sea to transform the area into tideland. A few birds strut about, pecking at the sand for any bits of things edible. The sand itself has a rough texture underfoot, the finer grains meshed with crushed shells. There is a small pile of golden sovereigns here. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

Swirls of bleached white grains lace through golden sand, a few shells scattered occasionally by creature and tide. Several torches that have been abandoned by their owners, ends wrapped in scorched cloth or almost fully diminished flames, are stuck in the sand. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Scattered over the sand, someone has left piles and piles of scallops out in the sun for the birds. The shrill caws of gulls fills the air, as well as their stink combined with the rotting meat inside the scallops. A keen eye is needed to avoid stepping on shell or bird alike, and the squishing noises underfoot are something to shudder over as the sand itself is dry.

A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Filling the air with a rank stench that totally overpowers any scent of the salty spray from the ocean. Piles of garbage lay strewn about on the sand, left by careless beachgoers. Heaps of clamshells, partially eaten food and empty bottles, even avian excrement seem to have collected themselves within this area, the ground a veritable and filthy danger to walk upon. There are 2 starfish here. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Bordering the coastline that equally borders the Inner Sea, the sand here is perpetually damp and riddled with scores of shells and pieces of coral and kelp from the waters. Birds flutter in the skies, the gulls swooping down at the sands as something catches their eyes from above. Cool to the touch, the sand is damp and squishes delightfully underfoot.

A few crabs doze in the sand, not bothered by the hungry predators that lurk within the waters of the Inner Sea.

The sand itself has become dirty from the invasion of the flying rodents, pebbles, sticks, and bird droppings giving the area less appeal than the more serene and pristine areas of the coast. There are 2 black and white seagulls here.

  2285. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Connected to the sandy beaches of the Toronada tidal flats by a wooden dock, the port acts a receiving station from travelers across the Inner Sea. Planks of wood have carefully been built around floating barrels held in place with triple woven rope, poles rising from the sides with chains attached as a means to anchor the incoming boats and rafts. At the end of the dock are two lanterns hanging from metal poles, a glass shell from each protecting the flames from the wind during stygian darkness. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

  2301. It is quite cool. Acting as a midpoint between both the beach and the actual port where ships may lay anchor, the wooden dock keeps those disembarking drier than those who would go without such a feature. Though rather weather beaten and liable to plague the feet with jagged splinters, the structure itself is remarkably crafted, able to withstand decades of abuse from the waves of the Inner Sea. As an added luxury, a few steps seem to have been added at the start of the dock leading down onto the sands. A wooden pole has been placed at each side of the start of the dock, acting both as handrails as well as a place to hang lanterns from at night, to improve visibility in the area. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

The sand is cool, damp, and packed down rather hard for its very nature, due in part to the numerous footsteps that have left their mark. Sea creatures and birds find it wiser to stay away if possible, lest they be assaulted by foot or fist alike. A long wooden dock is in view to the southwest, acting as passage to the Inner Sea.

A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Almost connecting with a poorly crafted stand to the east, this shanty is of equally poor quality and craftsmanship. Planks of wood from smashed ships have been tied together with leather thongs and the occasional rusty nail that threaten to catch upon the skin or clothing of those who might walk too closely. Even the slightest breeze makes the rickety structure lean dangerously to the side, most likely to topple over if it were not propped up partially by barrels of clams.

  2477. Mingmar Rock.
  2478. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. One or two light fluffy clouds drift lazily through the sky. Seemingly thrown down from the skies in a fit of rage, a boulder the size of a small cottage overpowers the sand underneath and the waves that lap at the soil and shells. A section of the rock is curved, shaped like a giant chair facing the ocean to watch the sunsets, and has obviously been used for just that purpose. Some graffiti has been chipped into the rock's surface: a heart surrounding the initials S.Q. and R.R.

  2493. Beached kelp.
  2494. A strong gale has developed here. All along the sands of the beach, strips of kelp have been washed ashore from the sea, left to dry in the sun. The piles themselves are rather neat, suggesting that the time has been taken to straighten the plants for a later purpose. Crawling over the piles that are still damp, several crabs scuttle about slowly upon the damp green harvest. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  2509. Curving coastline along the Inner Sea.
  2510. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. The sand still a perfect powdery white, akin to snow without the cold temperature, the bank suddenly curves to follow the land and waters flow. Scuttle marks in the sand accompany the large red crabs that wander the area, snapping their pincers about when a fellow crab invades their personal territory.

  2526. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Stretching along the sides of the waters with no interruptions by the river, the sand is a powdery substance devoid of colour, perfectly white against the crystalline blue of the Sea. Leaves moving slightly with the breeze, several palm trees group together to offer bits of shade beneath them. A beach mongrel sniffs at the ground as he wanders about here.

  2542. It is quite cool. Birds splash about in the water and rest in groups along the sands, scattering at any sudden movement with indignant caws. Sitting at the edge of the water, little fish can be seen swimming near the shallows, silvery lines in the water. A conch shell seems to be moving about on its own, until crabby legs reveal the crustacean hermit residing within it. Tania Siarani is here. She wields a heavy longsword in each hand. Ferne has a look of comprehension here.

  2560. It is quite cool. The waves of the Inner Sea create the only noise along the coast, leaving behind a gentle foam and the scent of salt in the air. The sand shifts back and forth from golden to brown as the water rolls over it and then recedes, chasing back tiny birds who peck for bits of food within the grains. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

A pile of shells has been scattered by the wind a bit, not yet arranged into the other lines along with the other shells. Upon looking from further away, it becomes obvious there is an actual reasoning to the placing of the sea treasures, forming a mosaic of a whale and a dolphin frolicking out at sea.

  2592. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. One of the few places where several features of the tidelands are in one place, the beach, river, and the Inner Sea all meet here for an almost ethereal view. The caw of gulls, the crash of waves and the bubble of the river flowing combine to form a natural symphony to the ears, making for a comfortable spot to relax and just enjoy the music of nature. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

A few palm trees grow here, birds resting at their crests quietly. To the side, a few coconuts have fallen into the sand, left untouched.

The beach divided by the water of the Toronada, the sands are in patterns changing from the whitest bleached sand into muddy brown grains from the river itself. A few large shells speckle the ground, one of which is occupied by a slow moving hermit crab. A large spiral shell is in view from the northeast, as if a symbol to flock to when the time calls for it. Unearthed from the sand, a slippery clam lays nestled in the sand.

Three additional conch shells have been placed around the monstrous centerpiece, albeit much tinier in size, pointing to the north, southwest and southeast. From each direction the shells point to, a separate path leads to various areas of the tidelands. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

The bubbling stream and chatter of birds fluttering about is soothing to the ears, and the air is refreshingly pure and clean. A breeze blows in from the east, cooling the temperature with its gentle breath.

Wide enough for only one large being or perhaps several smaller ones, this section of the sandbar curves gently alongside the river, allowing for a place to dip ones feet without fear of being carried away. A few frogs croak in the grasses alongside the river, hiding their bodies if not their voices from predators. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

Scraps of twigs and string and leaves have been woven into a large nest, occupied by a few large pelican eggs and preened feathers. Fish bones lay to the side, choked up by a large bird.

Fed directly by the rivers waters, the plants have flourished and taken over the sandier environment more common on the tidal flats. A ring of jagged rocks surrounds a pit in the ground, partially filled with chilly water also from the Toronada River. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

The ground itself has an odd, gritty feel underfoot, due to the silt and mud mixing in with the sand that once was the sole soil of the ground. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

A few have opened in death, leaving their meat open to the hoards of seagulls that have also overtaken this once pristine beach land. A net surrounds some of the piles, however a tear in the side prevents any actual use for carrying them off back to a ship or store. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

Jagged rocks have been stacked carefully to form a semicircular wall, the open half facing the river and the less secluded areas of the beach. A single palm tree rises up here, casting shade upon one of the curious pockets dug into the sand that encircle it. Trying to hide himself from view, Myrtle, a baby dragon turtle is here.

  2871. In view of the Toronada.
  2872. A strong gale has developed here. Following the pointed finger of a spiral shell, the southeastern path leads past a small footbridge that crosses the Toronada and lends a startling view of the proud river. The waters are a clear sapphire blue, bubbling over smooth rocks and past long grasses, which give way to the sand that forms the beach itself.

  2887. Western tideland.
  2888. A strong gale has developed here. Fed from both the waves of the Inner Sea and the flow of the Toronada river, this bit of tideland seems to be perpetually filled and exuberant. Several frogs croak at the intrusion from their hiding places around the river, quickly quieting as the shrill call of the gulls fills the air. A few rocks lay to the side, but the pool itself is otherwise free of debris. Almost perfectly still, a starfish is here. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

The ground itself has an odd, gritty feel underfoot, due to the silt and mud mixing in with the sand that once was the sole soil of the ground.

Waves push insistently at the sand, edging it ever closer towards the grass, threatening to someday overpower it and cover it completely.

Fed directly by the rivers waters, the plants have flourished and taken over the sandier environment more common on the tidal flats. A ring of jagged rocks surrounds a pit in the ground, partially filled with chilly water also from the Toronada River. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

  3001. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Almost connecting with a poorly crafted stand to the east, this shanty is of equally poor quality and craftsmanship. Planks of wood from smashed ships have been tied together with leather thongs and the occasional rusty nail that threaten to catch upon the skin or clothing of those who might walk too closely. Even the slightest breeze makes the rickety structure lean dangerously to the side, most likely to topple over if it were not propped up partially by barrels of clams.

Caught eternally in the breezes from the south as well as the north, the sand here is constantly shifting and forming new patterns amongst the shells and rocks. Mesmerizing pictures form within the grains over time, only to be destroyed moments later and become something equally stunning to the eyes. A slight scent of smoke wafts in on the eastern winds.

Blocked in by stones on all sides due to the waters of the river as well as the sands of the beach, there is little chance for any creature to escape from it before the tide relinquishes its hold upon the area. Gulls shriek and battle fiercely over the dying and dead corpses of the fish and tadpoles that have attempted to do just that, and become prisoner to the sun as well. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

Instead of the crystalline colour that results from being within the light, and easy vision, the waters and things within it are darker and less defined. A shadowy crab lurks beneath the surface, pincers steadily opening and closing in wait for some unsuspecting ankle to enter their reach.

Although much too small for any traveler to use as a spot of rest, it is more than sufficient for a snoozing turtle or pelican. The shadow of a palm tree looms in from the west, casting partial shade over the area, while the other half is left open to the sun. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

The sand is cool, damp, and packed down rather hard for its very nature, due in part to the numerous footsteps that have left their mark. Sea creatures and birds find it wiser to stay away if possible, lest they be assaulted by foot or fist alike. A long wooden dock is in view to the southwest, acting as passage to the Inner Sea.

The sand itself has become dirty from the invasion of the flying rodents, pebbles, sticks, and bird droppings giving the area less appeal than the more serene and pristine areas of the coast.

  3231. It is quite cool. Connected to the sandy beaches of the Toronada tidal flats by a wooden dock, the port acts a receiving station from travelers across the Inner Sea. Planks of wood have carefully been built around floating barrels held in place with triple woven rope, poles rising from the sides with chains attached as a means to anchor the incoming boats and rafts. At the end of the dock are two lanterns hanging from metal poles, a glass shell from each protecting the flames from the wind during stygian darkness. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  3247. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Acting as a midpoint between both the beach and the actual port where ships may lay anchor, the wooden dock keeps those disembarking drier than those who would go without such a feature. Though rather weather beaten and liable to plague the feet with jagged splinters, the structure itself is remarkably crafted, able to withstand decades of abuse from the waves of the Inner Sea. As an added luxury, a few steps seem to have been added at the start of the dock leading down onto the sands. A wooden pole has been placed at each side of the start of the dock, acting both as handrails as well as a place to hang lanterns from at night, to improve visibility in the area. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  3263. Sprawling waterfront.
  3264. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A strong gale has developed here. The sand is cool, damp, and packed down rather hard for its very nature, due in part to the numerous footsteps that have left their mark. Sea creatures and birds find it wiser to stay away if possible, lest they be assaulted by foot or fist alike. A long wooden dock is in view to the southwest, acting as passage to the Inner Sea.

  3280. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. It is quite cool. Bordering the coastline that equally borders the Inner Sea, the sand here is perpetually damp and riddled with scores of shells and pieces of coral and kelp from the waters. Birds flutter in the skies, the gulls swooping down at the sands as something catches their eyes from above. Cool to the touch, the sand is damp and squishes delightfully underfoot. There are 2 scuttling crabs here.

A strong gale has developed here. Filling the air with a rank stench that totally overpowers any scent of the salty spray from the ocean. Piles of garbage lay strewn about on the sand, left by careless beachgoers. Heaps of clamshells, partially eaten food and empty bottles, even avian excrement seem to have collected themselves within this area, the ground a veritable and filthy danger to walk upon. There are 2 starfish here.

A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Scattered over the sand, someone has left piles and piles of scallops out in the sun for the birds. The shrill caws of gulls fills the air, as well as their stink combined with the rotting meat inside the scallops. A keen eye is needed to avoid stepping on shell or bird alike, and the squishing noises underfoot are something to shudder over as the sand itself is dry.

The sun which beats down on them has not managed to penetrate the shaded area created from their girth, allowing for a cooler area to sit down and rest in.

  3360. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. It is quite cool. Before the small piles of rocks and shallow pits that pock the sands, the waves that roll upon the beach have formed a tidal pool in this location. Various creatures and items washed in with the tide lay trapped to various degrees, veritable treasures from the Inner Sea just waiting to be discovered.

A large quantity of pebbles abandoned by the river have been strewn about, assuming a shape similar to a crescent moon as it aligns with the water. Scattering up onto the sand further on, some of the nicer pebbles have been arranged neatly into several small piles, for no apparent reason. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand.

Piled upon the sand are several pyramids made from pebbles and mud, that gradually grow in size as they near the trickling water of the river. The sand itself is riddled with these pebbles as well as shells and larger rocks that have been deposited by the flow of the water. A lone coconut lays in the sand, detached from its original home and left to sit in the sun amidst the geological scraps.

Tucked near the base of the forks, the sand here is perpetually damp, and the smell of salt lingers in the air. Several wooden planks have been neatly arranged here, obviously built from the same source as a sign driven deeply into the sand. A weather beaten sign is here, scrawled with blue paint. Affixed to a post is a bell, hanging just below a sign. Four pillars of sand flow onto a bed-sized slab of white marble which rises from the ground, surrounded by a nimbus of domotheon energies.

It is completely unmarred by blades of grass and dirt from the river forks or garbage from visitors to the area alike.

Startlingly clear skies compliment the expanse of golden sands of the beach. The grains in themselves are rather coarse due to less erosion from the waves than the grains in closer proximity to the Inner Sea's coastline.

  3632. Wading with tadpoles.
  3633. A strong gale has developed here. Dozens of tadpoles swim about in this area, currently trapped within the waters due to the tide having not yet fully grown. Easy pickings in such a state, there is an ominous tone to the caws of seagulls overhead, which cast occasional shadows upon the water with their flying forms. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  3649. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Shadowed by the numerous palm trees scattered around the tidal flats, this section of a teeming tidepool is cast in shadows and cool in temperature compared to the sunnier areas of the beach. A few fish bones have been tossed to the side of the pool, left by lazy gull or traveler after having finished their meal. A translucent jellyfish is here, floating in the water. A chubby little gnome in a red suit stands here, tapping his nose with a finger.

  3681. It is quite cool. Although the water is rather shallow, the surface is in constant turmoil from the activity of creatures within. Darting in the waters are little tadpoles, a few just beginning to sprout limbs, as well as the silvery minnows that glint in the light. Along the rocks, a few hermit crabs slowly scuttle about, two of which seem to be fighting over an empty shell resting to the side of the pool.

Before the small piles of rocks and shallow pits that pock the sands, the waves that roll upon the beach have formed a tidal pool in this location. Various creatures and items washed in with the tide lay trapped to various degrees, veritable treasures from the Inner Sea just waiting to be discovered.

  3745. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Pushing up from the sands and rising into the skies are several palm trees, large green leaves unfurling from their core and adorned with large, rounded brown fruit. The sun which beats down on them has not managed to penetrate the shaded area created from their girth, allowing for a cooler area to sit down and rest in. Ruffling its wings slightly, a squat pelican is here, squawking hungrily.

Forming a small hill, the wind and waves have pushed at the sand until several mounds have been formed. Shells speckle them almost like elaborate decorations, a few of them still damp and sparkling in the light of the sun and moon alike.

A strong gale has developed here. Scattered over the sand, someone has left piles and piles of scallops out in the sun for the birds. The shrill caws of gulls fills the air, as well as their stink combined with the rotting meat inside the scallops. A keen eye is needed to avoid stepping on shell or bird alike, and the squishing noises underfoot are something to shudder over as the sand itself is dry.

The sand and water have surrounded the area on all sides, leaving a slight depression filled with water and encircled by rocks that allows the sea to transform the area into tideland. A few birds strut about, pecking at the sand for any bits of things edible. The sand itself has a rough texture underfoot, the finer grains meshed with crushed shells. There is a small pile of golden sovereigns here.

  3825. It is quite cool. Cut in twain by a strip of dirt and rocks between the sand and the river, this levee has been hidden slightly by a wall of palm trees that thrive on this section of the beach. Birds float and bathe in the slow moving water, the gurgle of it moving along clashing slightly with the crash of the waves near the southern coastline. Almost perfectly still, a starfish is here. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

Worn and bleached from the wind and sun, wooden steps lead up to its crest, where a rickety fence of thin, wooden slabs stands precariously to either side of the stairs. Small tufts of beach grass dot the ground, their straight blades bent away from the water. Uneven and rough from the many footprints left upon them, sandy paths lead to a small picnic area to the southeast and a wooden cabin to the east.

A wooden picnic table rests between them, a blue tablecloth held down by a large concha shell adorning its surface. At the base of one of the trees rest a bucket and shovel, a shapeless mound of sand and several seashells left beside them. His tongue sticking out in concentration, a little boy stands here adjusting the sails on his toy boat.

Seated high upon the rise of sand, this broad porch offers an extensive view of the tidal flats as well as the river and ocean beyond. Running along its borders are several thin, wooden columns, a gabled roof supported between them. Seashells of all different shapes and colours have been strung upon hemp ropes suspended from the exposed rafters above, tinkling softly as they collide on the breeze. Placed intermittently around the porch, a rocking chair and several cushioned loungers offer a comfortable place to rest and bask in the calming seascape. A young girl stands here, languidly twirling a lock of hair around her finger.

To the side of the room lies a large, wooden table, a wide array of shells, ribbons, strings, paints, and brushes strewn over its surface. A round mirror has been left amidst the melee of art supplies, painted seashells forming an unfinished frame around it. Pushed into the corner, a white, baby bassinet sits empty, a pale blue ribbon threaded around its brim and tied into a bow in the front. Suspended under its hood, a mobile spins slowly, a chubby cherub chasing a golden star followed closely by a flying fish swimming away from a sunflower starfish Mending a torn pair of shorts, an old woman stands here, her back slightly hunched over.

  3921. The shadowy outline of a twisted forest casts a dark gloom here. Two bunk beds have been placed on opposite sides of the room, their covers untidy and mussed. In one of the beds, a worn teddy bear has been abandoned, the white waves of the rumpled sheets overtaking him. A colourful, woven rug spirals out from the centre of the room, clothes and toys spilling onto it from a large, open chest set against the wall. Proudly displayed throughout the room are simple drawings of beach scenes and spinning mobiles made of colourful seashells and dried starfish. Blocking the door to the west, a curtain of small shells hung on thin, hemp ropes, rustles slightly, giving a life-like appearance to the pattern of waves created by the colourful shells. A small, green-eyed child plays here, gently brushing the golden hair of her doll.

Suspended above the fire is a large, cast iron pot, water boiling rapidly inside. At the top of the fireplace, the stones arch, framing an oven where a tray of cookies is baking. Piles of wood rest on the floor to both sides of the fire, framed in a similar stone arch. Above them, shelves have been built into the stone, housing various cookbooks and little trinkets from the beach. Oak cabinets line the adjacent and opposite walls, their countertops comprised of smooth, creamy stone. Above them are several small windows, little, clay pots containing various herbs resting on their sills. Save for a shell-shaped cookie jar, the counters are clean and empty, everything being neatly put away. Sitting on the counter is a shell-shaped cookie jar.

  4018. A broad porch.
  4019. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Seated high upon the rise of sand, this broad porch offers an extensive view of the tidal flats as well as the river and ocean beyond. Running along its borders are several thin, wooden columns, a gabled roof supported between them. Seashells of all different shapes and colours have been strung upon hemp ropes suspended from the exposed rafters above, tinkling softly as they collide on the breeze. Placed intermittently around the porch, a rocking chair and several cushioned loungers offer a comfortable place to rest and bask in the calming seascape. A young girl stands here, languidly twirling a lock of hair around her finger.
  4020. You see exits leading west and in (open door).

  4034. A sandy rise.
  4035. It is quite cool. The sand here slopes away from the levee and river, creating a gentle rise. Worn and bleached from the wind and sun, wooden steps lead up to its crest, where a rickety fence of thin, wooden slabs stands precariously to either side of the stairs. Small tufts of beach grass dot the ground, their straight blades bent away from the water. Uneven and rough from the many footprints left upon them, sandy paths lead to a small picnic area to the southeast and a wooden cabin to the east.

  4050. Secluded levee.
  4051. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Cut in twain by a strip of dirt and rocks between the sand and the river, this levee has been hidden slightly by a wall of palm trees that thrive on this section of the beach. Birds float and bathe in the slow moving water, the gurgle of it moving along clashing slightly with the crash of the waves near the southern coastline. Almost perfectly still, a starfish is here. A beach mongrel sniffs at the ground as he wanders about here.

  4066. Concha camp.
  4067. A strong gale has developed here. Blown free of valleys and mounds, the sand here is totally smooth and picked free of any litter. Enormous concha shells have been taken from the depths of the sea and arranged in careful formation here, rising up in nine spirals from the bone white sands. Torches have been thrown into the sand as well, granted with less care than the ornate shells. Footprints of various sizes and races trek around here in a circle, surrounding the remains of a long cold bonfire. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  4082. An entrance to a secluded alcove.
  4083. A strong gale has developed here. Partially blocked off from visitation by a wall of palm trees, a narrow sandy path leads into a secluded alcove on the furthest eastern side of the Toronada tidelands. Partially in view from the end of the path is a tall cliff and a waterfall that falls from it into a small pond below.

  4099. A strong gale has developed here. In sparse availability here, the sand trickles only slightly upon the grasses and smooth slabs of rock here. Jagged boulders have pushed up from the earth, rising towards the sky in the form of a cliff. Partially eroded, several more of the rocks have formed primitive steps leading to the top of the miniature peak.

It rises above a pool to the southeast, where many tracks in the sparse sand originate before leading here and then northeast, whereupon they abruptly stop at the start of the stone steps leading up the same cliff. The alcove is not as secluded as first glance would suggest.

  4131. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. The sands eternally mixing with the water and kelp from the Inner Sea, this tidepool is murky and its surface impenetrable. Only tiny splashes in the water make it known that there are indeed living creatures within its depths, shallow though they might be. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand. Ruffling its wings slightly, a squat pelican is here, squawking hungrily.

The smell of salt on the air is prominent, drifting in with the sea breeze. Odd piles of sand are in various locations here, accompanied also by an equal amount of holes. Susie is here, playing happily with her pail and shovel. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

The water, clean and blue, spans out onto the horizon even as it lolls back and forth, creating a soothing noise in the air.

  4211. A strong gale has developed here. The smell of salty water on the air is especially prevalent here, due to the neighboring Inner Sea. The clean blue waters form into gentle waves that roll in and dampen the sands, before receding back to their source. Occasionally, a large wave makes it to shore, the spray and sunlight upon it forming a small rainbow. Seashells speckle the ground, left behind by the tide, while birds dot the skies and golden sand alike.

Foamed water laps at the edges of a sandy pit lined with a few jagged rocks, the edges slowly becoming smooth by erosion over time. The sound of the sea is ever present, the caw of gulls especially shrill to the ears. Ruffling its wings slightly, a squat pelican is here, squawking hungrily.

As if it was once with a peak and a giant blade slashed at the top section at an angle, the ground here is perfectly smooth before leading to a jagged wall to the eastern side of the cliff. Moss has formed at sides, before starting to spill over the edges towards the ground below. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  4407. Merry coastline along the Inner Sea.
  4408. A strong gale has developed here. A few blankets line the sand, accompanied by baskets in the sand under tall umbrellas to cast shade on the people there. Tied to posts in the sand are bits of chain that go out into the sea, connected to traps for crabs and lobster to later be eaten alongside a burning fire. Although not as clean as other areas of the beach, it still has a sense of being well cared for by those who visit the coast.
  4409. You see exits leading northeast, east, southeast, west, and northwest.

  4423. Gentle coastline along the Inner Sea.
  4424. Radiating blissful healing energy informs you of a healing shrine of Weiwae nearby. It is quite cool. Everything from the soft texture of the sand, the slight scent of salt in the air, and the sound of the tide rolling in gives off an air of peacefulness. A few crabs doze in the sand, not bothered by the hungry predators that lurk within the waters of the Inner Sea.

  4439. Gull infested coastline along the Inner Sea.
  4440. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Infesting the area with feathery bodies are at least several hundred gulls, all congregating to rest as well as flock towards any who would toss them bits of food. The sand itself has become dirty from the invasion of the flying rodents, pebbles, sticks, and bird droppings giving the area less appeal than the more serene and pristine areas of the coast. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  4455. Sprawling waterfront.
  4456. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. The sand is cool, damp, and packed down rather hard for its very nature, due in part to the numerous footsteps that have left their mark. Sea creatures and birds find it wiser to stay away if possible, lest they be assaulted by foot or fist alike. A long wooden dock is in view to the southwest, acting as passage to the Inner Sea.

  4471. Surrounded tideland.
  4472. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. It is quite cool. Blocked in by stones on all sides due to the waters of the river as well as the sands of the beach, there is little chance for any creature to escape from it before the tide relinquishes its hold upon the area. Gulls shriek and battle fiercely over the dying and dead corpses of the fish and tadpoles that have attempted to do just that, and become prisoner to the sun as well.

  4488. It is quite cool. Gently pulsing across the sand and then retreating back to the source, the waves make soothing noise to accompany the sound of birds flying overhead. A few blankets have been spread out and abandoned here, damp yet colourful reminders that the beach is shared by many peacefully. A scuttling crab is here, leaving marks in the sand. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  4503. Scallop laden coastline along the Inner Sea.
  4504. A strong gale has developed here. The sand has been almost overtaken by the huge deposits of scallops that fill the beach. A few have opened in death, leaving their meat open to the hoards of seagulls that have also overtaken this once pristine beach land. A net surrounds some of the piles, however a tear in the side prevents any actual use for carrying them off back to a ship or store. A beach mongrel sniffs at the ground as he wanders about here.

  4519. Mingmar Rock.
  4520. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. One or two light fluffy clouds drift lazily through the sky. Seemingly thrown down from the skies in a fit of rage, a boulder the size of a small cottage overpowers the sand underneath and the waves that lap at the soil and shells. A section of the rock is curved, shaped like a giant chair facing the ocean to watch the sunsets, and has obviously been used for just that purpose. Some graffiti has been chipped into the rock's surface: a heart surrounding the initials S.Q. and R.R.

  4536. Shaded tideland.
  4537. A strong gale has developed here. Shaded by a barrier of palm trees from the north, the sand is cooler than other parts of the beach. A pit has been dug into the sand and been filled with water from the waves of the Inner Sea, which is similarly cool without the suns rays to warm it. All the same, the silver flashes in the water prove that the marine life occupies it all the same. Some palm leaves have fallen from the trees, partially submerged in the shallow water and laying to the side as additional cover for a few frogs. A beach mongrel sniffs at the ground as he wanders about here. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand.

  4553. A strong gale has developed here. All over the sand, seashells of every imaginable size, colour, and kind have been carefully arranged. A pile of shells has been scattered by the wind a bit, not yet arranged into the other lines along with the other shells. Upon looking from further away, it becomes obvious there is an actual reasoning to the placing of the sea treasures, forming a mosaic of a whale and a dolphin frolicking out at sea.

  4569. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Tucked away into a the brush and rocks is a battered raft, unable to be used for anything save firewood any longer. Mutts can be seen frequenting the area, pouncing at the vessel and running off with the pieces they can break free, unable to find bones to chew upon. An extremely overweight seagull perches in the corner of the starboard side of the raft, squawking loudly at any intrusion upon its feast of slightly rotted breads and cheeses. Painted on the side of the raft is 'Lo.e.. bles...gs.', half the letters covered by the sand that has been blown up against it. Waddling about, a boxturtle nearly blends in with the sand. Cawing loudly, a black and white seagull lingers here.

  4584. Bright coastline along the Inner Sea.
  4585. A few light wisps of cloud are spread high in the sky. Birds splash about in the water and rest in groups along the sands, scattering at any sudden movement with indignant caws. Sitting at the edge of the water, little fish can be seen swimming near the shallows, silvery lines in the water. A conch shell seems to be moving about on its own, until crabby legs reveal the crustacean hermit residing within it. A slender leothin sits here motionless, brightening its surroundings with its natural golden bio-luminescence. Ferne has a look of comprehension here. Tania Siarani is here. She wields a heavy longsword in each hand. Gurashi, The Heart's Friend with an Unknown face shifts and blurs, their figure cast into uncertainty by the enveloping Presence that lingers large, unseen, and heavy about their form. They wield a vibrant mandolin of songbirds and stars in their left hand.
  4586. You see exits leading north, northeast, south, and northwest.
  4587. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northwest.
  4588. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  4589. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====
  4590. Gurashi looks at Tania, face lighting up as they smile brightly at her.
  4591. The air grows colder and the surroundings seem darker as Gurashi, riding Bizirik, the leothin, departs to the south, the angelic voices fading with them.
  4592. With a playful chirr, Bizirik turns sharply and scampers off to the south.
  4593. ==== Something exited the room to south. ====
  4594. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Yeets into sea."
  4595. A wry smile spreads across your face.
  4596. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northeast.
  4597. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  4598. You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
  4599. There's water ahead of you. You'll have to swim in that direction to make it through.
  4600. === Swim or Fly ====
  4601. A soft, angelic hymn precedes the arrival of Gurashi, riding Bizirik, the leothin, from the south, the air itself alive with warmth and light.
  4602. Bizirik stalks in from the south, wings spread as it clicks and thrums softly.
  4603. ==== something entered from south, ====
  4604. ==== Something entered the room from south, ====
  4605. You gasp in delight, reaching out to boop Gurashi lightly on the nose with a finger.
  4606. You nod your head sagely.
  4607. You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
  4608. Bizirik, the leothin promptly returns to the shore, dragging a protesting Gurashi behind it.
  4609. You have emoted: Cheliyi wheezes.
  4610. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "BIZI NO."
  4611. Clawing the sand, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "NO I was JUST IT."
  4612. Tania Siarani says, "I suppose I should go find some things to slay.."
  4613. You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
  4614. The sky lightens and stars fade as Father Sun approaches the horizon in his neverending quest to capture Mother Night.
  4615. The glittering mist around Muginn burns away, the moaning visages of the damned slowly seeping back into his coat.
  4616. As the sun's rays begin to break over the horizon, a slender leothin's amaranthine visage begins to fade back to a soft gray, wings dissolving like mist with the morning light.
  4617. Bizirik, the leothin drops Gurashi upon the sand, then sits, chirping.
  4618. You smile brightly at Tania, your frills puffing with joy.
  4619. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  4620. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Hello! I have not met you, no."
  4621. Panting, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Oh boy - oh boy...oh I am getting too old for tags, oh boy..."
  4622. Tania's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.
  4623. Tania gives a trillingly melodic laugh.
  4624. You have emoted: Cheliyi shakes the sand and seawater from her frills, still giggling.
  4625. Tania Siarani says to you, "Pleased to meet you, I'm Tania Siarani."
  4626. Ferne blinks.
  4627. Tania tilts her head curiously at Ferne.
  4628. You see Ferne say something, but her voice is drowned out by the wind.
  4629. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northeast.
  4630. ==== something entered from northeast. ====
  4631. ==== Something entered the room from northeast. ====
  4632. You greet Tania with a nod, frills puffed respectfully.
  4633. Shaking their head, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Ferne, "Is O-K! You are fine! We met either way!"
  4634. Tania Siarani says to Ferne, "I'm sorry, the wind stole your voice."
  4635. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "I am Cheliyi! Gurashi," she pauses and pats them gently "is my Dad, yes."
  4636. Tania's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.
  4637. The piercing call of gulls fills the air.
  4638. Pressing your hands together before you, you concentrate on your throat chakra. A blue glow suffuses your throat, protecting all your communications.
  4639. You have recovered equilibrium.
  4640. ===== You can Act now =====

  4647. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  4648. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Same with me, yes."
  4649. Gurashi sits up with some effort, puffing their cheeks. "Oh man. Ow." They complain as the leothin starts to snuffle at their hair. Suddenly the human sits up. "Oh! Beloved--!"
  4650. Gurashi boggles at Tania.

  4652. ==== something entered from north. ====
  4653. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====

  4655. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "I am adopted, that is. Not that Mister Naralis is my father."
  4656. You chuckle softly, your frilled tail flicking idly with amusement.
  4657. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Tania, "We are in the samely Order, yes - the Beloved! I know Naralis, I do!"
  4658. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northwest.

  4661. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "Though - mostly, in passings..."
  4662. Using their tongue and the roof of their mouth, Gurashi makes a quiet clicking noise.
  4663. Gurashi glances askance at a shifting, living poppy of indigo petals.

  4697. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.

  5076. Gurashi lowers their arms, wrapping them across their chest as they sway, calming down.
  5077. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Esei, "Nothing, nothing."
  5078. Shadows grow longer in anticipation for the return of their dark mistress as Father Sun's chase brings him closer to the world's edge.
  5079. Muginn shakes out his feathers, the plumes suddenly glowing with an ethereal haze. Ripples of mist pool at his talons, writhing with silent, screaming faces that leave hoar-frost in their wake.
  5080. As nightfall steals the last vestiges of daylight, a slender leothin's muted coat begins to shine with a violaceous radiance, and a double pair of wings materializes, grandly extended as if they've been there all along.
  5081. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Esei, "Welcome back!"
  5082. Humble Ferne says, "I'm all too familiar with the soul issues."
  5083. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northwest.
  5084. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5085. Ferne grumbles a bit.
  5086. Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk says to Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow, "Stop screaming."
  5087. ... a powerful joyous pulse of psionic energy, exuding joy before retreating again, fading with the light ...
  5088. Esei throws back their head and howls like a wolf.
  5089. You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow, "Emote blank esei."
  5090. Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow stares blankly at Esei.
  5091. A wry smile spreads across your face.
  5092. Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "He cannot help it, no. The ghosties are stuck in his feathers."
  5093. A boxturtle inches its way in from the northwest.
  5094. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  5095. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====
  5096. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  5097. Ferne flits back over to a fragrant lute of hardwood maple and attempts to play it, even while tiny.
  5098. As the sun passes below the horizon's edge, Mother Night unveils her terrible, shadowy beauty, spreading darkness across the land.
  5099. You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow, "Emote emote clicks his beak and tosses his head."
  5100. Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow clicks his beak and tosses his head.
  5101. A wry smile spreads across your face.
  5102. Light spreads across Gurashi's back in numerous colours and hues, enfolding them like butterfly wings.
  5103. Gurashi looks over towards Ferne, smiling. "Oh! How attuned are you to it?" They ask quietly, stepping closer. "Once you are fully attuned, or once it has an enchantment on it, when you wield it and change shapes, it will change WITH you, yeah yeah." They wink, watching. "...still are pretty good though. Heckity."
  5104. Gurashi huffs, puffing their cheeks.
  5105. Bizirik, the leothin sniffs Esei, trying to decipher just what that smell emanating from them is.

  5107. A boxturtle inches its way out to the north.
  5108. ==== Something exits from north. ====
  5109. Shadowy feathers slither across the floor and through the air, rising like a coiling, serpentine mass. Solidifying, the owlish face of Mysrai emerges from within as His head swivels unnaturally to face you.
  5110. Gurashi blinks.
  5111. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says, "...oh!"
  5112. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "HEY."
  5113. Esei pats Bizirik, the leothin in a friendly manner.
  5114. Bizirik, the leothin stares blankly at Esei. After a moment its tail lifts once then thumps back against the ground with potential delight.

  5116. Gurashi's hands fly to their mouth as they give a short gasp of elation.

  5119. Gurashi points accusingly at Mysrai.

  5125. The sound of crashing waves fills your ears, the scent of salt lingering in the air.
  5126. (Trasto): Romaan says, "Because the little owl is sleeping."
  5127. (Trasto): Gyorn (from the Astral Plane) says, "That."
  5128. His oddly echoing voice pulsing in a deep baritone that resounds in your chest, Mysrai, the Thief of Hidden Apogees says, "Gurashi. Emit psionic energy."
  5129. Gurashi suddenly gasps, then BOWS before Mysrai, hands over their heart. "Shofets! Most Beloved!!"
  5130. Gurashi gives a horrified gasp.
  5131. The smell of salty air wafts past your nose.
  5132. Gurashi scrunches up their face in concentration.
  5133. ... a nervous thrum - a rising chorus of color and light that makes the air sparkle and hum before fading, throbbing ...
  5134. Sparks of vibrant energy spring up around you as Mysrai clicks His beak together several times, turning His head to an impossible angle in what could easily be either disappointment or humour.
  5135. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "What's HAPEPNING."
  5136. Gurashi peeks.
  5137. Gurashi stares at Mysrai, eyes wide.
  5138. Muginn ruffles his feathers, stirring up puffs of fog.
  5139. Across the heavens, the stars and moon challenge night's dark reign, revealing familiar constellations that tell the tales of myth and legend.
  5140. (Trasto): Esei says, "Does impossible angle mean owl-angle or just like upside down."
  5141. Ferne blinks.
  5142. Ferne blinks.
  5143. A beach mongrel slinks in from the north, sniffing at the ground.

  5157. ==== something entered from northeast. ====
  5158. ==== Something entered the room from northeast. ====
  5159. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend whispers to Ferne, "L-look! My Shofets - the Thiefs! The Most Beloved...! The One was telling you about!"
  5160. Utterly entranced, Ferne emits a long "Ooooh."
  5161. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northwest, sniffing at the ground.
  5162. ==== something entered from northwest, ====
  5163. ==== Something entered the room from northwest, ====
  5164. Gurashi practically vibrates with excitement, looking at you next. "I told you He was big," They whisper quickly before returning their full attention to Mysrai.
  5165. Humble Ferne says, "Enormous."
  5166. Bright and clear, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Mysrai, "M-Most Beloved what can I do for You! Hi! Good evening!"
  5167. Mysrai's head swivels left, and then right, His unblinking eyes sparkling with saffron in their voidstruck abyss. "Disappointing. This is not what was necessitated." Considering for a moment, He leans down and straightens a plume that you could not even see was astray in one of His great wings; lifting the appendage so that it might briefly block much of the sky. "You live within the City of Light now, and as such have dealings with the Empyreal, yes?"
  5168. A boxturtle inches its way out to the northwest.
  5169. ==== Something exits from northwest. ====
  5170. Gurashi blinks.
  5171. You stare blankly into space.
  5172. The air holds its breath surrounding the gargantuan feathered form of this enormous creature, aetheric energies sparking in hieroglyphs of saffron colour that guarantee He is a radiant immortal. Covering Him from head to claw is a vast field of inky black feathers, dusted along their tips with saffron dust that shimmers in light like the distant abyss of space as they cast shapes and flowing rivers before being cast into entirely new patterns with His movement. Two enormous wings are folded at His sides in place of arms, falling down to the ground before spilling out and behind Him like the train of a dress. Golden claws can be seen extending from His leathery grey, avian feet, spreading out further hieroglyphs along the surface of what it is He walks upon like oil spilling over water. Towering upwards to twelve feet in height, His head is rounded and His face distinctly owl-shaped, a viciously curved gold beak protruding from the bottom of a central ridge splitting His face in half. Wide and unblinking, His eyes are little more than voidstruck pools of absolute darkness that shimmer with swiftly-changing saffron constellations in unfathomable patterns.
  5173. He is wearing:
  5174. a swirling crown of saffron hieroglyphs, distorting both time and space around His head;
  5175. an intricate poppy petal ring placed onto one of His talons.
  5176. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.
  5177. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5178. (Trasto): Esei says, "Unrelated."
  5179. ... the energy swells, then dampens, lingering like an apricot-hued haze upon the beach ...
  5180. Your eye immediately notices the flaws in what is obviously an illusion.
  5181. (Trasto): Esei says, "Why does time pass."
  5182. (Trasto): Esei says, "This is illegal."
  5183. You think to yourself: **aetherwave static**.
  5184. (Trasto): Gyorn (from the Astral Plane) says, "So it doesn't sideswipe you and send you off the road of life."
  5185. A beach mongrel slinks in from the north, sniffing at the ground.
  5186. ==== something entered from north, ====
  5187. ==== Something entered the room from north, ====
  5188. Wide-eyed, Gurashi, The Heart's Friend says to Mysrai, "I - yes? I can offer to Her! And... am friends with many of Her followers and stuffs?"
  5189. (Trasto): You say, "You think to yourself: **aetherwave static**."
  5190. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.
  5191. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5192. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "DisapPOINTING lol."
  5193. Gyorn tells you, "What does that mean by the way?"
  5194. Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Gyorn La'Saet, "Hm?"
  5195. Gyorn tells you, "The aetherwave static?"
  5196. (Trasto): Esei says, "Would it be a bad time to give my cat to gurashi."
  5197. Very, very softly, you say, "Um. Hello."
  5198. (Trasto): Gurashi says, "Th-this might not be the time to give tsillah to gurashi."
  5199. Mysrai seems to grow even more massive as He awaits an answer, stretching ever skyward as though He is filling the empty space present within the sky; His face still staring towards Gurashi with unblinking eyes. "Unless Her arts have been neutered since the War, I believe She may prove useful."
  5200. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the north.
  5201. ==== something entered from north. ====
  5202. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  5203. (Trasto): Esei says, "A smidge."
  5204. (Trasto): Esei says, "Ok to cheliyi she goes."
  5205. You think to yourself: ... Those feathers look really soft.
  5206. Esei gives a cat of black ink to you.
  5207. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the northeast.
  5208. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  5209. Slowly, Mysrai's head swivels as though being turned upon its spine by a machine within, spinning unnaturally to face you, where He stares quietly.
  5210. (Trasto): Esei says, "Fuck."
  5211. (Trasto): Gurashi says, "LOL."

  5231. ==== something entered from northeast. ====
  5232. ==== Something entered the room from northeast. ====
  5233. You think to yourself: ... and pretty.
  5234. Gurashi blinks owlishly. "...She is still a ... Healer." They comment thoughtfully, stepping closer so they may speak a little softer over the winds. "Useful? Is somethings happening, Most Beloved?"
  5235. A boxturtle inches its way out to the northwest.
  5236. ==== Something exits from northwest. ====
  5237. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.
  5238. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5239. (Trasto): You say, "You think to yourself: ... Those feathers look really soft."
  5240. Gurashi follows Mysrai's gaze over to you, blinking twice.
  5241. (Trasto): You say, "CHELIYI BROKE."
  5242. (Trasto): Esei says, "I'm also bouncing off the walls."
  5243. (Trasto): Esei says, "So."
  5244. (Trasto): Esei says, "Sugarrrr."
  5245. (Trasto): Esei says, "Only had to eat 3 gallons of swewet tea to do it!"
  5246. (Trasto): Esei says, "Eat? drink?? same thing."
  5247. Shifting her weight back and forth, you say, "Nicely to meet You in person, Lord Shofets."
  5248. (Trasto): Gyorn (from the Astral Plane) says, ".. that's a lot of sweet tea."
  5249. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northeast, sniffing at the ground.

  5254. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.
  5255. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5256. Offering no succor to the tense pressure which fills the air, Mysrai's head turns the rest of the way around, completing a full circle before once more facing Gurashi. Rising now upon a serpentine neck which extends, His head snakes down until it is directly before them, looking them over with one eye that is almost as large as them. "Do you not know who among Mine might require such services, Beloved?"
  5257. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the north.

  5266. It is now the 2nd of Shanthin, 577 years after the Coming of Estarra.

  5268. (Trasto): Esei says, "Snake neck?"
  5269. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northwest.
  5270. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  5271. (Trasto): Esei says, "Snowl."
  5272. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====

  5279. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  5280. (Trasto): Esei says, "Therefore snowl."
  5281. Gurashi's eyes widen, and they suddenly gasp, stepping even closer, mere inches from the massive Divine's gigantic face. "Oh! Do you think She would...?"
  5282. (Sugary Sweet): Lorina (from the Aetherways) says, "Yall are RPing too close to my sea."
  5283. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the north.
  5284. ==== something entered from north. ====
  5285. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  5286. (Sugary Sweet): Lorina (from the Aetherways) says, "If I find even ONE RP in my waves..."
  5287. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Awkwardly looks at my divine."
  5288. Almost too quick to see, Mysrai lashes out in a streak of black feathers. Beak snapping finally, He consumes a black and white seagull as though it were little more than a crumb of bread, the shrieking annoyance vanishing before it can further nuisance.
  5289. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Awkwardly looks at lorina."
  5290. Ferne blinks.
  5291. You think to yourself: **a warm embrace of feathers and a cheery chirp** Would His feathers feel warm? Or cold, or-.
  5292. You blink.
  5293. With several beats of her wings, Ferne alights upon your shoulder.
  5294. You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow, "Emote shuffle."
  5295. Muginn, the ghost-feathered crow shuffles his feet uneasily.
  5296. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps in from the northwest.

  5298. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====
  5299. Humble Ferne whispers to you, "I'm just gonna... sit with you, I think."
  5300. You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
  5301. Bizirik, the leothin lets out a bark at seagull as it is swallowed up whole, giving Mysrai an almost envious stare before sitting and snuffling.
  5302. Bizirik, the leothin narrows her eyes at a black and white seagull in an unnerving manner.
  5303. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northwest, sniffing at the ground.
  5304. ==== something entered from northwest, ====
  5305. ==== Something entered the room from northwest, ====
  5306. You nod your head at Ferne.
  5307. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northeast.
  5308. ==== Something exited the room to northeast. ====
  5309. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "Deadass just ate a seagull i love it."
  5310. Esei opens their mouth, closes it, and then slowly moves to stand next to you.
  5311. (Sugary Sweet): You say, "Lol."
  5312. (Sugary Sweet): Lorina (from the Aetherways) says, "@_@."
  5313. (Trasto): Esei says, "A midnight snack."
  5314. A beach mongrel slinks in from the northeast, sniffing at the ground.

  5319. ==== something entered from north. ====
  5320. ==== Something entered the room from north. ====
  5321. Tilting her head curiously, you say to Mysrai, "Lord Shofets, can I ask you a question?"
  5322. (Sugary Sweet): Gurashi says, "The awkward moment when you aren't sure if They are emoting o rwiating for you to emote."
  5323. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the northwest.
  5324. ==== Something exited the room to northwest. ====
  5325. Turning His head back towards Gurashi, Mysrai simply states, "Her Will is fickle, and She is known to Choose. Incorrectly, perhaps, but forcefully. You may wish to convince Her of the worth." A translucent eyelid blinks over the enormous eye which nearly dwarfs them, horizontally meeting before withdrawing once more and leaving His eye to stare. "You are capable of this task?" Though it is a question, there is no sense of it in the statement.
  5326. Without moving His head, Mysrai, the Thief of Hidden Apogees says, "You may."
  5327. Bizirik's head begins to droop. It opens its great maw and curls back its lips to allow its forked tongue to unfurl as it yawns before snapping its mouth shut.
  5328. The wisps of condensation in the sky spread slightly as a few light clouds develop.
  5329. Shrieking loudly, a black and white seagull flaps off to the north.

  5336. Esei pats Bizirik, the leothin in a friendly manner.
  5337. Bizirik, the leothin stares blankly at Esei. After a moment its tail lifts once then thumps back against the ground with potential delight.
  5338. Nodding slowly, you ask Mysrai, "Do You have a favorite food?"
  5339. Barking loudly, a beach mongrel bounds off to the north.
  5340. ==== Something exited the room to north. ====
  5341. (Trasto): You say, "Ncfsncjksnjncjksd."
  5342. (Trasto): Gurashi says, "I love you."
  5343. (Trasto): Gurashi says, "You are my daughter thru and thru."
  5344. Esei buries their face in both hands.
  5345. (Trasto): You say, "I am cackling."
  5346. The corners of Ferne's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.
  5347. A boxturtle inches its way out to the north.

  5351. ==== Something entered the room from northeast. ====
  5352. Gurashi gazes back at Mysrai, their hands clasped together before their chin, trembling from head to toe in excitement. "I absolutely would - I would do anything for them!" They exclaim, starting to say more before they hear your question piped up behind them, mouth stuck in an 'o' of surprise.
  5353. (Trasto): Esei says, "Cheliyi to esei a few rl weeks ago: do you think if i can ask nocht if he has a favorite food."
  5354. (Trasto): Esei says, "Esei: longsuffering sigh."
  5355. Leaning back and forth, you say, "Because if so, I would like to make some for You. If that's okay."
  5356. (Trasto): Afollia says, "Wasn't that established as Nocht-O's a while back?"
  5357. There is a strange cadence in Mysrai's voice as He answers, the deep rumbling in your chest that is His echoing baritone carrying with it a sense of primal danger and fear as He turns His head in a spiralling curlicue to face you. "Do you truly wish to know, morsel?"
  5358. Squawking and honking loudly, a squat pelican flutters in from the northwest.
  5359. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  5360. ==== Something entered the room from northwest. ====
  5361. (Trasto): Esei says, "Maybe ooc."

  5369. ==== something entered from northwest. ====
  5370. You have emoted: Cheliyi pauses, and frowns to herself. "Well, I would like to know, yes. Although, if the answer is me, that would be uncomfortable, yes. I do not know if I can cook myself."

  5740. You tilt your head curiously.
  5741. (Trasto): Ayisdra says, "Uh, Afollia. Powerstones are no where near 200 gold >.>."
  5742. Smooth and spherical, this bottle is small enough to fit snugly in one
  5743. hand and is plugged with a shimmering cream pearl. A glint draws the
  5744. eyes to the body, where waves of bronze smoke have been painted upon the
  5745. glass. An outline of flowing, almost looming swirls is filled with a
  5746. light dusting of bronze powder to create a mysterious air; this is
  5747. amplified by the bottle's flame-hued glass, whose opaque bottom
  5748. gradually grows more translucent higher above the hemisphere.

  5754. You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
  5755. You crease your brow in a frown.
  5756. Harmony echoes in your mind as you sing to Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk, "I did not bring anything.... one moment!"
  5757. (Trasto): Afollia says, "I have a - slight - markup for Hallifax & celest."
  5758. (Trasto): Faragan says, "Heh times how they've changed. I remember back in faragans youth they were like 2 k each."
  5759. You stand before the wavering image of the night sky, your arms spread wide. In an instant, shadowy tendrils shoot out and wrap around as they forcibly drag you into the image. All fades to black before you are suddenly hurled into a dark cavern.

  5774. The cavernous floor comes to an enclosed space here as it narrows towards a delicate veil of shadows. Dim light filters in from outside, barely piercing the shadows that cling to the cavern walls. Dark stones covers the walls, and the walls are lined with veins of shimmering amethyst. The violet gems wind along the walls in circuitous patterns, reflecting what little light there is in the area. Billowing like a cloth in a gentle breeze, a veil of shadows covers a wall of the cavern here.

  5884. A snow-capped hillside.
  5885. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. Overlooking the valley below, this hillside is covered in a layer of fresh snow, blown down from the mountains looming above. A cold wind races across the landscape, raising a fine mist of snow into the air and whistling loudly as it travels through the passage to the south. There are 2 sabre-toothed cats here.
  5886. You see exits leading south and northwest.
  5887. A sabre-toothed cat swings his massive paw, claws extended, at your shoulder, digging in deeply.

Nearly invisible patches of ice, hidden by thin layers of snow, cover the slope down into the valley to the northwest, while a clearer path to the east is evident. Cracks and mars in the surface of the ice appear to have been caused by the hooves of some large beast.

  5938. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. Flurries of white powder have settled upon the frozen ground, collecting in titanic banks and drifts of snow. Cracks riddle these now-solid masses of ice, ocassionally erupting in muffled roars as the dredges split apart. Dirt-stained footprints mark and blemish the carpet of white, before disappearing into the distance; one particular set of prints looks significant, appearing as if one person was being chased by another. The edges of the cliffs to the upper part of the valley stand vigilant nearby, peppering this space with tumbling rocks.

Few wiry branches are still free, yet they are encrusted with icicles and frost. Three of the trees have been excavated from their icy captivity, and have been chopped up into logs that have been placed into a wall of lumber.

  5975. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. Packed ice blocks have been stacked on top of one another to build a glistening wall that surrounds a quaint igloo, giving the frosty building a fort-like appearance. Beyond the wall is a fire pit of wet wood, dug squarely into the tundral ground. Near the fire are several long rows of flat, icy rocks and planted upon each are frozen solid fish that are slowly melting due to the sputtering flames. Playfully placed beside the igloo's fortifications are plump snowmen, shaped like lumbering tae'dae, complete with coal eyes and sturdy arms made out of tree branches.

Small bushes and low growing fauna spread out along the valley, offering both cover for predators and grazing grounds for the herds of mountain goats that work their way down out of the mountains. Prowling through the snow, a sabre-toothed cat quietly looks for prey.

  6105. A shallow ravine.
  6106. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. A long trench has been cut in the valley floor, a vague reminder of the glacier that once travelled through. The steep sides sheeted with ice, as warmer temperatures cause small trickles of water to run down into the ravine, freezing again as the cold climate takes its toll once more. Prowling through the snow, a sabre-toothed cat quietly looks for prey. There are 2 snowshoe hares here.
  6107. You see exits leading north, northeast, east, and southwest.
  6108. A sabre-toothed cat charges towards you and tears into you with his sabre-like teeth.
  6109. [Autocuring]: Curing 'bleeding' with 'clot 2'.

  6124. A sharp turn in the valley.
  6125. A thick cover of clouds obscures the sky in a sheet of dense white. Snow drifts and ice formations cover the hills and valley floor, the ground hard and cracking underfoot. A few goats dot the landscape as they move to better ground in search of food, moving nimbly over the ice as their hooves find purchase. Diakala the Packless walks here, steadily surveying the land ahead. There are 2 sabre-toothed cats here. A snowshoe hare quietly rests on his hind legs.
  6126. You see exits leading southeast and west.
  6127. A sabre-toothed cat crouches low to the ground before leaping at you with his claws extended and raking across you.

  6147. Deep within the valley.
  6148. A thick cover of clouds obscures the sky in a sheet of dense white. Sheltered from the winds, the valley flowers grow a little stronger here. Small bushes and low growing fauna spread out along the valley, offering both cover for predators and grazing grounds for the herds of mountain goats that work their way down out of the mountains. Prowling through the snow, a sabre-toothed cat quietly looks for prey.
  6149. You see exits leading east, southwest, and northwest.
  6150. A sabre-toothed cat swings his massive paw, claws extended, at your shoulder, digging in deeply.

  6173. Slow moving ice floes.
  6174. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. The heated water flowing under the ice, has broken the river up into a mass of small ice floes, bumping against each other and breaking apart even more as they move down stream. The smell of sulphur fills the air as the ice slowly recedes to let the water through.
  6175. You see exits leading northeast, east, southeast, southwest, west, and northwest.

  6192. Amidst slow moving flotsam.
  6193. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. Moving at a sluggish bob, chunks of ice and frozen wood drift steadily along with the current of this frosted off-branch of the river, intermingling above the more tepid waters underneath. Smaller pieces of refuse constantly dip beneath the surface, vanishing from sight altogether. Tremulous creaking resounds periodically as the larger blocks of natural detritus shift against one another. On the river banks, frail grasses grow beneath a thin layer of frost, framed by the looming forms of pine trees.

  6209. The frozen remains of a natural dam.
  6210. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. Cleaved in twain by the harsh environment of its surroundings, two large wooden chunks are all that remain of a torn natural dam. The remnants of the dam are kept in place only by the iciness of the river that contains it, leaving it stiff and immobile beside the more languid waters that churn around it. The river's current intermittently chisels away at the broken dam, sending bundles of frosted wood drifting lazily downstream.
  6211. You see exits leading northeast, south, and west.
  6212. Continuing the hunt for his dark mate, Father Sun presses forward in his journey, lowering himself in the sky yet still casting even, full light upon the land.

  6228. Riverbank underneath shadows of ancient pines.
  6229. A fresh breeze is blowing through the area. Dozens of majestic ancient pines rise up gracefully beside the small natural path that parallels an icy river. The path itself is worn from constant use. A dense layer of dead and dying pine needles coats the ground, mingling liberally with the fallen snow around the trees themselves. Small stones line the way besides the frigid waters, simple and nondescript as they lead down the trodden path. Prowling through the snow, a sabre-toothed cat quietly looks for prey.

  6244. Gnarled fir trees upon the outskirts of a village.
  6245. It is so cold that you must expend great effort to move. Huddled next to each other, the thick trunks of numerous fir trees nearly block sight of the eastern view of the river. Many of the trees themselves reach over the border of the riverbank to stretch out over the river even as others reach westwards, encroaching upon the village that borders the mighty trees. A dilapidated hovel sits dejectedly beneath the canopy of the firs, its deteriorated roof bending inwards under its own weight. The area directly beside the trees is rampant with the untamed growth of plant life hardy enough to survive this frozen climate, though the grass evens out closer to the village itself. Prowling through the snow, a sabre-toothed cat quietly looks for prey.
  6246. You see exits leading north, east, and west.

  6264. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. The mighty firs guarding the path to the east suddenly disperse as the village comes within sight, small habitations dotting the landscape around a large lake. A well-walked dirt path lined with stones covered in frost winds wavily but surely towards the west. The only signs of plantlife in the surrounding area are a few remaining fir trees standing sentinel and densely growing grass, stubbornly surviving despite the harsh climate. The crisp air blows gently past as the inhabitants of this village can be seen moving around in the distance.

  6281. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. The small dirt path branches off in two directions here, both running parallel to the edge of the lake. The fir trees are all but gone within this part of the village, with only a few large specimens left dotting the lakeside. Few people make their way here, most of them engaging busily in their work by the pond and the various small buildings further into the village. Aside from the occasional bird that flies overhead, squawking a lonely call, there is little other sign of wildlife in this chilly environment.

  6296. Pondside Path by the pond. (road).
  6297. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. While the small stone-lined path runs fairly straight here, a trail of strongly-crushed grass formed by walking feet runs off to the west, spanning the few feet of distance between the path and the pond. Two giant fir trees are positioned asymetrically by the two sides of this trail, the ground underneath their lowest boughs barren of grass and frost. Although the trees stubbornly block much of the view of the village to the northwest and southwest, the entire western side of the village can be seen between them, framed in front by the frosty blue and white of the pond and behind by the grey and white-tipped mountains reaching into the clouds. A tall obelisk rises up here from the ground.

  6313. Shallowing eastern side of the pond.
  6314. Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A small trail in the grass comes winding towards the pond from the east, passing its way right in between two large fir trees that block most of the view in that direction. The bank here is not wide, but a small wooden structure, barely a pier, has been built upon the shore. Large enough for only a couple of individuals, it does offer a magnificent view to the west for any who choose to sit there, looking across the expanse of the pond to the hills and mountains beyond.

  6345. There is the lightest of airs blowing through the locale. Single blankets of deep glowing fog roll sluggishly along the ground and swirl in the air, the glow ethereal and quixotic. A mass of gigantic trees rise up in a barrier to the outside forces, their bodies glowing an iridescent green as a baritone hum causes the very earth to slightly shudder constantly. The air is damp with moisture, the ever present clouds overhead storming and brewing as the tropical weather causes the trees to reach their multi-colour leaves up towards the heavens. Constant motes of light swirl along the roots of the trees, traveling up along a steep ascent towards a towering mountain that juts up from the earth in the distance. There is an aetherways portal here.

  6361. The Aetherplex Chamber.
  6362. The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. A screech owl is here, surveying the surroundings. There are 2 great brindle mastiffs here. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Somnolent billows of dove-grey fog obscure the lingering form of a mistwaif clad in vestiges of the night. Revelrous Khnemu Dahyu is here. He wields a perky peppermint nunchaku in each hand. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.
  6363. You see exits leading north (open door), south, out, and through a bright, glowing portal.

  6365. This room has not been mapped.
  6366. A chilling, forestal curiosities room.
  6367. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The first discernible sensation upon entering this room is a mixture of earthy smells; mulch, petrichor, decaying wood, and the heady scent of Wyrden roses saturate the air. As one's eyes adjust to the darkness, barely abated by shadowflame sconces hung on the walls, tall figures begin to emerge. Expansive shelves carved to look like tree trunks seem to grow out of the floor and reach clear to the ceiling. The moss-green rug has been cut to fit neatly between each root and around each curve, giving the illusion of springy turf underfoot. Gently glowing fungi, which seem to be growing out of the shelves at random, make it just possible to see their contents. On one shelf, a scorched dragonturtle shell and a dried starfish sit beside a glistening glasswork recreation of a pile of salmon roe. On another, a pair of arrows with heart-shaped heads are arranged with one crossed over the other, and a scented love-letter lies on top of them. Other shelves are crammed with an increasingly peculiar assortment of knickknacks: an ice pick, a tiny red stone, a dusty brown bottle with "Alchywhole" written in a barely legible script, a cuddly stuffed Tae'dae bear, a miniature rockeater figurine, an ornate ivory pipe, a pile of glittering Czigany coins, and a charm bracelet that looks to be of Fae origin. One rather macabre shelf holds a coiled slave master's whip and a skull that appears to have belonged to a Krokani before it made its way here. Still other shelves lie bare, waiting to be filled with more mementos of adventure to come, and in the corner of one of them a tiny black spider has made its web. A brightly colourful tapestry depicting a bear filled picnic has been hung on a nearby wall. A small table hewn from a ravenwood trunk has been upended here, providing a small surface on which to rest various objects. Depicting the four trees of Glomdoring in stylistic renditions, a woven, rose-scented rug spreads across the floor. There are 2 lyre-backed chairs here. Hanging from fine silver, this large snowflake lantern has light blue gems dangling beneath it, causing a gentle sway. A broad glass-faced display rack for musical instruments stands proudly here. A painting of A Stack of Cats is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. A marble archway stands here, elegantly arcing up from ground to ceiling. A solstice stocking has been hung here. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system.
  6368. You see exits leading north (open door), east (open door), south (open door), and southwest (open door).
  6369. This room has not been mapped.
  6370. A modest kitchen with forest motifs.
  6371. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A comforting feeling of privacy pervades the area. Like something out of a story book, this little kitchen with a small center island feels warm and comfortable. Ground-level cabinets have been painted a rich forest green and are outlined with tiny handmade crow and leaf imprints. High-mounted ravenwood shelves are lined with jars of herbs and spices, as well as odd-shaped baking implements and pans. Cast iron fixtures are set in strategic places beside heavy wash basins, and an open window overlooks the garden, offering a refreshing breeze. Hanging over the island is a blackened storage rack with several well-used skillets and cooking utensils suspended by hooks. A half dozen cabinets have small locks fastened to their handles, the dark metal surfaces carved with beautiful leafy patterns. Offsetting the dark decorations are brightly colored hand towels and oven mitts decorated with childish happy cows playing in a field. A wooden stool carved to appear as a hand rests sturdily on its own wrist, awaiting occupation. A coiling silhouette of thickets is inked upon the supple surface of this softly pale tea table, low to the ground. Warm honeyed hues dance upon the surroundings, cast by a delicately-scented glass lantern from its perch upon a nearby wall. A painting of a hoard of gold is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. Central to the kitchen is a large oven, next to racks of pots and pans that hang nearby. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A platinum stocking has been hung here. A shimmering blue circle floats in the room here.
  6372. You see exits leading east (open door), south (open door), west (closed door), and up (open door).
  6373. This room has not been mapped.
  6374. A sheltered grove of wild clover and vines.
  6375. Like something out of a painting, this clearing is no more than an acre wide and enclosed on all sides by a myriad of plant-life. A bed of purple-white clover grows here, painting the sea of green moss with splatters of snowy white and brilliant indigo. To the southeast, tall golden grasses form a natural barrier, teeming and rustling with native wildlife. To the north, a rise in the land creates a natural sort of levy, thick underbrush and towering ravenwood trees making passage nigh impossible. Tendrils of vine hang down from the canopy above, swaying gently in the breeze. In the very center of the clearing is a thick and gnarled camphor tree, its trunk covered in moss and wildflowers. Natural burls on the outermost layer of the tree lead up into the dense canopy above, and have been worn down through repeated use. A bunch of yellow freesias, a cool tulip of dusk, a striped orchid, a cool tulip of dusk, a midnight black rose, a vibrant sunflower, a pink carnation, a striped orchid, a striped orchid, a cluster of snapdragons, a bunch of yellow freesias, and a warm tulip of dawn blossom within a beautiful, lush garden. A shimmering blue circle floats in the room here.

  6627. Mortal Reviews: Allowed
  6628. IMPORTANT: The main noun MUST use one of these: SORBET, BOWL
  6629. Appearance:
  6630. a bowl of twilight delight sorbet
  6631. Dropped:
  6632. A bowl of twilight delight sorbet lies here in wait, chilling the air around it.
  6633. Examined:
  6634. Piled high in an expertly carved ravenwood bowl, scoops of sloe sorbet
  6635. seem to glow in a wreath of shadowy shades. The sorbet itself is a soft
  6636. shade of violet reminiscent of the sky's hues at twilight, candied
  6637. blackthorn blossoms peppering the dish like the first stars to reveal
  6638. themselves as Mother Night unveils her wondrous beauty upon the land. A
  6639. simple wooden spoon sticks out from beneath the tart treat, ready for
  6640. use.
  6641. Consume:
  6642. Carefully removing the spoon from beneath the sorbet, you delicately
  6643. scoop a dollop of violet delight into your mouth. The treat dissolves on
  6644. your tongue, washing your senses in a satisfying sour tang. Spooning
  6645. more into your mouth, the sorbet melts away to reveal a candied
  6646. blackthorn blossom which you bite clean through, only to be met with the
  6647. pleasant aftertaste of almonds. Digging further into the bowl, your
  6648. spoon suddenly breaks through some unseen shell and spills a dark and
  6649. viscous liquid onto the remaining sorbet. The crimson syrup stains the
  6650. icy sweet a dark grey, like the edge of shadows as twilight fades. As
  6651. you slip mouthful after mouthful of sorbet past your lips, your mouth
  6652. puckers with the concentrated flavour of raspberries and sloe that came
  6653. from the small syrupy surprise. All too soon the treat disappears down
  6654. your maw, nary a droplet left.
  6655. Smell:
  6656. The chilled air refreshes your senses as you inhale the mouthwatering scent of sloe berries and fragrant blackthorn blossoms.
  6657. Taste:
  6658. Licking a dollop of sorbet off a spoon, the sweet yet intensely tart flavour of sloe coats your tongue.

  6661. As essence cannot be used in food, the shadows are largely just colours and shades and not actual shadows.

  6667. A modest kitchen with forest motifs.
  6668. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A comforting feeling of privacy pervades the area. Like something out of a story book, this little kitchen with a small center island feels warm and comfortable. Ground-level cabinets have been painted a rich forest green and are outlined with tiny handmade crow and leaf imprints. High-mounted ravenwood shelves are lined with jars of herbs and spices, as well as odd-shaped baking implements and pans. Cast iron fixtures are set in strategic places beside heavy wash basins, and an open window overlooks the garden, offering a refreshing breeze. Hanging over the island is a blackened storage rack with several well-used skillets and cooking utensils suspended by hooks. A half dozen cabinets have small locks fastened to their handles, the dark metal surfaces carved with beautiful leafy patterns. Offsetting the dark decorations are brightly colored hand towels and oven mitts decorated with childish happy cows playing in a field. A wooden stool carved to appear as a hand rests sturdily on its own wrist, awaiting occupation. A coiling silhouette of thickets is inked upon the supple surface of this softly pale tea table, low to the ground. Warm honeyed hues dance upon the surroundings, cast by a delicately-scented glass lantern from its perch upon a nearby wall. A painting of a hoard of gold is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. Central to the kitchen is a large oven, next to racks of pots and pans that hang nearby. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A platinum stocking has been hung here. A shimmering blue circle floats in the room here.
  6669. You see exits leading east (open door), south (open door), west (closed door), and up (open door).
  6670. This room has not been mapped.
  6671. A chilling, forestal curiosities room.
  6672. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The first discernible sensation upon entering this room is a mixture of earthy smells; mulch, petrichor, decaying wood, and the heady scent of Wyrden roses saturate the air. As one's eyes adjust to the darkness, barely abated by shadowflame sconces hung on the walls, tall figures begin to emerge. Expansive shelves carved to look like tree trunks seem to grow out of the floor and reach clear to the ceiling. The moss-green rug has been cut to fit neatly between each root and around each curve, giving the illusion of springy turf underfoot. Gently glowing fungi, which seem to be growing out of the shelves at random, make it just possible to see their contents. On one shelf, a scorched dragonturtle shell and a dried starfish sit beside a glistening glasswork recreation of a pile of salmon roe. On another, a pair of arrows with heart-shaped heads are arranged with one crossed over the other, and a scented love-letter lies on top of them. Other shelves are crammed with an increasingly peculiar assortment of knickknacks: an ice pick, a tiny red stone, a dusty brown bottle with "Alchywhole" written in a barely legible script, a cuddly stuffed Tae'dae bear, a miniature rockeater figurine, an ornate ivory pipe, a pile of glittering Czigany coins, and a charm bracelet that looks to be of Fae origin. One rather macabre shelf holds a coiled slave master's whip and a skull that appears to have belonged to a Krokani before it made its way here. Still other shelves lie bare, waiting to be filled with more mementos of adventure to come, and in the corner of one of them a tiny black spider has made its web. A brightly colourful tapestry depicting a bear filled picnic has been hung on a nearby wall. A small table hewn from a ravenwood trunk has been upended here, providing a small surface on which to rest various objects. Depicting the four trees of Glomdoring in stylistic renditions, a woven, rose-scented rug spreads across the floor. There are 2 lyre-backed chairs here. Hanging from fine silver, this large snowflake lantern has light blue gems dangling beneath it, causing a gentle sway. A broad glass-faced display rack for musical instruments stands proudly here. A painting of A Stack of Cats is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. A marble archway stands here, elegantly arcing up from ground to ceiling. A solstice stocking has been hung here. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system.

  6688. The Aetherplex Chamber.
  6689. The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. A screech owl is here, surveying the surroundings. There are 2 great brindle mastiffs here. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Somnolent billows of dove-grey fog obscure the lingering form of a mistwaif clad in vestiges of the night. Revelrous Khnemu Dahyu is here. He wields a perky peppermint nunchaku in each hand. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.

Offsetting the dark decorations are brightly colored hand towels and oven mitts decorated with childish happy cows playing in a field. A wooden stool carved to appear as a hand rests sturdily on its own wrist, awaiting occupation. A coiling silhouette of thickets is inked upon the supple surface of this softly pale tea table, low to the ground. Warm honeyed hues dance upon the surroundings, cast by a delicately-scented glass lantern from its perch upon a nearby wall. A painting of a hoard of gold is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. Central to the kitchen is a large oven, next to racks of pots and pans that hang nearby. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A platinum stocking has been hung here. A shimmering blue circle floats in the room here.

  6742. Muginn shakes out his feathers, the plumes suddenly glowing with an ethereal haze. Ripples of mist pool at his talons, writhing with silent, screaming faces that leave hoar-frost in their wake.

  6750. This room has not been mapped.
  6751. A chilling, forestal curiosities room.
  6752. This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The first discernible sensation upon entering this room is a mixture of earthy smells; mulch, petrichor, decaying wood, and the heady scent of Wyrden roses saturate the air. As one's eyes adjust to the darkness, barely abated by shadowflame sconces hung on the walls, tall figures begin to emerge. Expansive shelves carved to look like tree trunks seem to grow out of the floor and reach clear to the ceiling. The moss-green rug has been cut to fit neatly between each root and around each curve, giving the illusion of springy turf underfoot. Gently glowing fungi, which seem to be growing out of the shelves at random, make it just possible to see their contents. On one shelf, a scorched dragonturtle shell and a dried starfish sit beside a glistening glasswork recreation of a pile of salmon roe. On another, a pair of arrows with heart-shaped heads are arranged with one crossed over the other, and a scented love-letter lies on top of them. Other shelves are crammed with an increasingly peculiar assortment of knickknacks: an ice pick, a tiny red stone, a dusty brown bottle with "Alchywhole" written in a barely legible script, a cuddly stuffed Tae'dae bear, a miniature rockeater figurine, an ornate ivory pipe, a pile of glittering Czigany coins, and a charm bracelet that looks to be of Fae origin. One rather macabre shelf holds a coiled slave master's whip and a skull that appears to have belonged to a Krokani before it made its way here. Still other shelves lie bare, waiting to be filled with more mementos of adventure to come, and in the corner of one of them a tiny black spider has made its web. A brightly colourful tapestry depicting a bear filled picnic has been hung on a nearby wall. A small table hewn from a ravenwood trunk has been upended here, providing a small surface on which to rest various objects. Depicting the four trees of Glomdoring in stylistic renditions, a woven, rose-scented rug spreads across the floor. There are 2 lyre-backed chairs here. Hanging from fine silver, this large snowflake lantern has light blue gems dangling beneath it, causing a gentle sway. A broad glass-faced display rack for musical instruments stands proudly here. A painting of A Stack of Cats is proudly exhibited on a nearby wall. A marble archway stands here, elegantly arcing up from ground to ceiling. A solstice stocking has been hung here. Surrounded by a faint, emerald halo, an ethereal cat romps playfully about the area. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system.
  6753. You see exits leading north (open door), east (open door), south (open door), and southwest (open door).
  6754. You portal to the Aetherplex Chamber.

  6768. The Aetherplex Chamber.
  6769. The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. A screech owl is here, surveying the surroundings. There are 2 great brindle mastiffs here. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. Somnolent billows of dove-grey fog obscure the lingering form of a mistwaif clad in vestiges of the night. Revelrous Khnemu Dahyu is here. He wields a perky peppermint nunchaku in each hand. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.
