+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Shattered God | ||
+ | |||
+ | O, liver of mine, Q'xetl was a young god. | ||
+ | He wanted souls. | ||
+ | He wanted to harvest them, to eat them, to grow strange and strong. | ||
+ | To await his maw they pulled my limp body. | ||
+ | Into the howling portal they threw me. | ||
+ | With the many I became one. | ||
+ | When he fractured I remain— | ||
+ | split in shards. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Fish Thieves | ||
+ | |||
+ | We are kin of goblin, they say. | ||
+ | We were born in Safaq, they say. | ||
+ | We steal fish, they say. | ||
+ | We attack on sight, they say. | ||
+ | We shoot before asking questions, they say. | ||
+ | We have treasure, they say. | ||
+ | But what they cannot say | ||
+ | is that we survived the party. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Reckless Attuner | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Honorable, the Chief Qadi and the Associate Magistrates of the | ||
+ | Court of Safaq al-Hadhar min Jumlat. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons | ||
+ | having business before the Honorable, the Qadi of the Sultan, | ||
+ | representing the Grand Caliph and ultimately the Law of the Loregiver, | ||
+ | are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is | ||
+ | now sitting. We have no fate but the fate we are given. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is a crime against the enlightened to willingly smash people in the | ||
+ | head with lethal intent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But witness testimony seem to indicate that the accused, whom | ||
+ | herebefore is present, was under the influence of the arcane: a weapon | ||
+ | crafted with intent to stir rage; a berserker rage to protect its | ||
+ | owner and keeper. Whether or not this is the unnameable Sloessa is a | ||
+ | question beside the court' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is a crime against the Law of the Loregiver to recklessly handle, | ||
+ | attune, or possess cursed items to the extent that they kill, injure, | ||
+ | endanger or encroach on the safety of enlightened beings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | That is a fine of 100 dinars for the first offense. Repeat offenders | ||
+ | will risk exile. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## Taraq 27 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Generous Patron | ||
+ | |||
+ | Welcome, one and all, to my abode. My name is Andar bin Petra and this | ||
+ | is my buttler Skerrin. Thank you for returning my fish. You may keep | ||
+ | the gold as a reward. No, no, *I* should be thanking *you*, for without your help I would have no fish, no gold, no camels and no cart. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rich? I don't know about that. Yeah, a lot of the fishing boats here | ||
+ | are mine, and the fishers are in my employ, but I inherited a lot of | ||
+ | that from my mother, Petra, and the same goes for this abode. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've expanded the trading program a little bit, that's true. Just doing my best to keep the family name proud! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Plague Dealer | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Aalim family got sick from bad grains at the green souk. Umaji | ||
+ | min-Hakiyah managed to contain the plague. A pickpocket reported some | ||
+ | unusual garments in the merchant' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Arcane Alcohol | ||
+ | |||
+ | Under [[the Empty Net]] there is a strange smell. It is arcane and it | ||
+ | causes strange behavior. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ## Taraq 28 | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Protective Wind | ||
+ | |||
+ | Accessing the elements directly is the power of elemental mages. To | ||
+ | blow away gasses and fires is something they can do easily and then | ||
+ | normal people can just duck under and avoid getting burninated. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Hose Scrape | ||
