+ | ### The Tale of the Soul Dagger | ||
+ | |||
+ | Acererak created the dagger from a shard of the soul monger, a magical | ||
+ | skullgem, a ring of intelligence, | ||
+ | of a dragonborn, and the stone itself is in fact a fragment of his own | ||
+ | life. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The dagger is made from the soul of a living natural creature, and it | ||
+ | cannot be healed from the death of a living creature. The soul in | ||
+ | question is the mishap of a living creature, and the dagger is the | ||
+ | destruction of a living creature. The dagger is never killed, as it is | ||
+ | a living creature, and the destruction of the mishap is always the | ||
+ | death of the living creature. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The dagger can be used as a weapon, as a tool, or an ordinary dagger. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When al-Bek, the Kahin, ordered Sir Bradford to destroy the dagger, | ||
+ | the ghosts inside were restored from the evil forms Acererak had | ||
+ | turned them into and their souls found peace among the planes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Even as the plane guardians watched their numbers dwindle, their | ||
+ | sovereigns continued to look on with hope and goodwill, and the Vizier | ||
+ | of Fate also continued to watch the trouble with which the planeshifts | ||
+ | were carried out. When the planeshifts had been completed, Vizier | ||
+ | Hajama ibn Abd al-Waqadah, the God of Courage, was among those who | ||
+ | were most disturbed, for the change that he saw was not one that he | ||
+ | had been warned of. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of al-Karakas' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Four plain golden rings were forged, one for each of the four heroes. | ||
+ | Sharwin al-Hukra, the Wind/Sea mage. Her brother, Talgen, the corsair, | ||
+ | and his corsair friend, just going by al-Karakas. They had been joined | ||
+ | by an outland warrior, Sir Bradford, who carried the legendary | ||
+ | Shatterspike. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They each had their names carved into their rings. And swore to always | ||
+ | wear them as they were meant to be the everlasting party. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They kept on coming up from night to night, but one night they had all | ||
+ | been at their lodgings, when the evil spirit of wanderlust that was in | ||
+ | them gathered them all together, and took them to the palace, where | ||
+ | the pumpkin-headed queen was sitting on her throne. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Al-Karakaras was Treasury, and was the first to wear the ring, but | ||
+ | many of the Masters of the trade are not great, and know well enough | ||
+ | all the plots of the Enemy, having been appointed by him. He is the | ||
+ | First to salvage the sheep of the Desert, and to wander over more | ||
+ | lands than any other, for a simple desire to see the light, and a | ||
+ | desire to have the best of the best of the apples for his fellow | ||
+ | sa' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ### The Tale of the Watch Captain | ||
+ | |||
+ | Krag is what they call me. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Two times every day, Eli had looked out over the dead horizon. I had | ||
+ | watched him, almost every time, seen the rays of sun dance over his | ||
+ | neck of sand and earth, as he looked out over the water. His name for | ||
+ | the sea was his roaring, crashing danger. | ||
+ | |||
+ | That danger was not how he died. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Neither the waves nor the dunes claimed him. Humanity did. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A man with white clothes, a red sash, and a silver ring with a golden, | ||
+ | embedded symbol of a scimitar had struck him down. Openly in the | ||
+ | street. Apprehended immediately, | ||
+ | With Gellan al-Pirwa, the godfather of smuggler bands, still in jail, | ||
+ | the guards were lost at sea with Mahnaz in exile and Eli dead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Jumlat' | ||
+ | for the best. I was never as invested as Eli was in the sultan and his | ||
+ | affairs. I was happy to work with my hands and shovel during the day, | ||
+ | and read into the wee hours by candlelight in the evening. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I feel just lost as lost as the guards, as Safaq as a whole. I haven' | ||
+ | looked over Eli's financials yet or how I'm gonna pay for this place. | ||
+ | I am still living in his house. I still use my own room. I still read | ||
+ | Eli's books. I still use his towels, still eat off his plate. I am | ||
+ | still stretched on his grave. | ||
