  1. The party all eventually gathers together in a part of the residential area. Buildings are pretty much caked right next to eachother, with a road weaving intricately throughout the city. Most of the people in Calsbury vouched to live in an apartment room due to the cheaper living costs than buying your own plot of land within the walls. The only buildings dedicated solely to one person are either for the rich or in the military. Whatever the case the party takes note of a shadow cast over them, eventually it comes to their attention that a decent sized cargo ship is flying off towards the skyport, with a few turrets lining the sides. A few smokestacks emerge from the back, billowing a trail of smoke as it gravitates off towards the harbour. The metal chassis is of solid iron, and chances are it'd require a high grade cannon to even hope of breaching its hull. A bunch of onlookers stop to stare at the thing, kids pointing and jumping, mothers going 'Look hunny!', etc etc.

  4. And so eventually the team reaches up north, where they find themselves at Eastern Command's building. Uriel is usually in Central Command, but the people had established a throne room specifically for him in every provincial capital for the sake of him having a place to call his home. The eastern command building is located on higher grounds, walled off and surrounded by plenty of residential/office buildings. The gigantic walls span out to about thirty feet high, with watch towers at every corner. Chances are each tower had a sniper in case some shitfuck decided to attack. The guards had immediately let them in shortly after seeing the team's newfound tattoos.

  6. The courtyard is pretty enormous, with roads paved out and leading to three gates at each of the walls. Two gigantic, long office buildings stretch down and are at the team's left and right as they walk down the yard. In the center of the large road is a fountain, with a statue cast in brass. It depicts a man with an eye patch and blade sheathed at his hip. Uriel IV. After he died he was immediately practically worshiped as a hero for bringing an end to Kane's reign, his son of course, had the same reputation, but it was Uriel IV who actually put the great False God to the sword.
  7.  
  8. The main command building is a long house that stretches out horizontally from wall to wall in the back of the courtyard. A large tapestry can be found atop the front entrance, with the golden circle's insignia (A golden triangle with an ouroboros in the center) embroidered along a red fabric. Despite the fact that the group was disbanded many years ago due to the horrendous losses it suffered, a few of its members still walked around today. It stands as a symbol of hope nowadays, showing that the world truly is recovering after the atrocities committed by Kane.

  10. After being escorted by two armed guards the three of them find themselves being lead to a single room. It looks like a pretty basic office building, with a large table found at one end. A few desks are lined side by side with dividers preventing the workers from being distracted by one another. A LOT of paper work can be seen on each desk. In fact, Wilfred/Jonathan probably figured that whoever mans those desks has probably the most paper work they've ever seen. And that's saying something.

  14. Sitting behind the desk is Uriel himself, who's dressed in his full uniform(A blue overcoat displaying his rank at his shoulders. In this case 5 stars. Uriel has a thick, bushy grey beard that reaches down his chest, complete with a full mustache. His hair is beginning to recede from his old age. At his hips are a pair of blades, the left one is sheathed in a VERY nice looking scabbard, with a gold embroidered, pristine white finish. He shows a very large smile towards the three as they enter, gesturing for them to take one of the seats he positioned in front of the desk.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. Major Leo Harland; the Arsenel Thaumaturge is a man that stands at 5'8 in height. He has a set of bright, green eyes that seem to twinkle with a welcoming warmth. His hair is light blonde and spiky, with the bangs swept aside to frame his soft features. As expected, he's also in the blue uniform with a few golden buttons keeping it shut. His ears are both heavily pierced, which, as most people know by now, are each artifacts he uses in combat.
  18.  
  19. Lieutenant Colonel Joan Irving, The Demon Flame Thaumaturge is dressed in her uniform as well, and has a necklace with a blue insignia. She stands at a good 5’6 in height, with cropped red hair framing her deep-set blue eyes. She wears a pair of gloves, both colored red and black.
  20.  
  21.  
  22. Colonel Dylan Taylor -- the ‘ruler’ of this province, is also accompanying them. He too is dressed in uniform, and nods his head the party’s direction. He’s the tallest of the lot, standing at 6’4 in height. His dark hair is kept medium length, and slicked back to look all gentlemanly for the occasion. He had a pair of gloves that matched Joan’s, except they were red and white, rather than black. He wears a pendant, with a red and purple specked gemstone in the center.
  23.  
  24. Uriel smiles brightly shortly after the group hopefully pays their respects to the mudder fucking king and sits after gesturing for them to do so. “It’s good to see you three made it. You certainly don’t waste time. So before I begin, let me answer a few questions.”
  25.  
  26. "First off. I'll admit that those marks are quite mysterious and I've no exact clue where they're from." He raises the back of his hand, revealing the glowing symbol. "The symbol, as you all know, was originally the golden circle's. As most of ya know by now my Father created this group so that he could halt Kane's army. Now. Julia(his wife and queen!) studied the mark and broke down the formula shortly after it appeared some few days ago. A few others found this symbol on them as well, and eventually...we found that the mark's influence could potentially come from a border city. You lot are familiar with Cyprus, yes? Well, in short we've reason to suspect that whatever's causing these marks to appear to be from there...what I am offering you lot is a once in a life-time opportunity...a paycheck. Larger than some of you've ever received in your entire life. These three will also be accompanying you on the trip over there, as they all want to find out the origins of this mark as well. I myself would accompany you, but! As the king of this land, that's obviously not an option. Do any of you have questions?"
