+### The Tale of the Poisoned Water
+From Jumlat, reports come of thousands dead by poisoned water.
+Tourists, who did not realize that this haunted place was haunted by
+demons, and by the ghost of the dead, who lived in the shadows before
+the advent of the enchanted market yn the dark of the night, even the
+noble.
+The city is cloaked in grey and still, and the buildings are seen in
+the distance.
+The wind chirps in the trees and the gurgling water and the horse
+galloping down the road.
+It is only one of the many cities and towns where the dark magic of
+the Brotherhood of the True Flame is kept in check.
+And the corpses of the dead are kept in the hall of the palace. When
+the palace guards see people's dead, they take them to the palace and,
+if they can get them, they pack them into sacks and transport them to
+the palace, where it is dressed and decorated with colorful horns and
+other decorations.
+There, the dead are kept in a large storage room, in the center of a
+small courtyard.
+The palace guards are constantly on guard to ensure the safety of the
+palace, since the palace is guarded by a long wall of stone with large
+iron gates.
+Inside the palace gates, the dead are caged, nearly
+up to a yard in the wall.
+There are no people to see them, and the walls are covered with a
+thick, impervious copper coating that prevents too much light entering
+the palace.
+### The Tale of the Forced Surrender
+She carries on without one of her sisters.
+She was a warrior, said to have fought the efreets and
+sons of the great ones. A great sage was once her brother.
+Her sister has abandoned her, and she has sworn to protect her
+from the sun and the moon, from the light of the
+long-dead gods, and from the heretics. She has sworn to
+destroy all the heretics and never let them stay in the
+sultan's lands. She has turned away all the others, but
+she has no other sisters, and her sister has married the
+sultan's son, who is her husband. The sun worshippers are
+proud of this, as is the sultan himself.
+### The Tale of the Burial Chambers
+The burial chambers on abd-Yson island, where the dead are buried
+like the animals. The island is inhabited by desert birds, and it provides
+their nesting areas. There are caves and sandy beaches here, where
+the birds can rest in peace and their eggs can be hatched.
+The burial chambers on abd-Yson island, as well as the shrine to the
+cold elements, terraced with white marble, was restored to its
+original state.
+The mass graves of the House of the White Mage are filled with
+skeletons of their former homes.
+The White Mage is the key to the archipelago's secret city. The
+bishop of the city, Ghedd, is a hulking brute with a scimitar in his hand.
+The result is that he is always in the dark about the truth of the
+matter, and always appears to be a student of the dark arts. He has
+since grown distant from his former friends, and his reduced to bitter
+bitterness and jealousy. He hates the White Mage and their dealings
+with the marid, who are a constant and very near companion.
+He has settled on abd-Yson island, where the nobility worship the cold
+of ocean. The dao kingdom is also not far from here, but this island
+is surrounded by the waves of the Crowded Sea. Though the palace is
+sepuchral, transformed to a place of burial. Sometimes the propaganda
+of the city is carried by the acolytes themselves, who are too lazy to
+keep track of the marids and the waves.
