The -relatively- small Airship pulls out from the dock; Glossaire Ring awhirl as the engines distribute their power, the controls coming to life and bringing with them the faint hum of communications among the other Airships that shift about Bhujerba. The engines operation has a hint of a rumble, a dark note undercutting their smooth soundings. But as always in the Purvema, it is the skies that draw the eye the most; from humble zeppelins to modern Airships to cutting edge models; transports, skimmers, and even a few ships bristling with weaponry as a clear deterrent for whatever unmentionable sorts sift the skies. It is, perhaps, an average day for Bhujerba. Anywhere else and the amount of color all about would mean a festival.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Benoit: Vehicles<br/>Miracle: Systems<br/>Hiroshi: Awareness</div></div><br/>Soon enough you leave it behind; for now at least. The powerful thrum of the engines soon sees the city behind you, your captain skillfully navigating the mostly open skies about Bhujerba, heading for the coordinates marked out by your employer as "Some really choice ruins, according to my sources." All about in the skies, smaller and smaller islands drift by as you fly away from the heart of the Floating Continent, along the western border of a region that defies the very concept.<br/><br/>It's not terribly far; barely even an hour's cruise when you reach the marked location. A cluster of islands, lashed together by a carpet of green trees and twisting roots. A clearing before a small valley stands near its center, a perfect place to land. While the island is unremarkable from above or in passing, a closer look soon confirms any suspicions; the canyon is carved stone, shrouded by the irregular growths and outcroppings. But more concerning perhaps is the small campfire in one of the nooks near the entrance to the place, still-warm ashes lining a small stone pit. Whatever you might find within, you're not alone on this ruinous island (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/317/0/7/Lost_among_the_ruins_by_MartaNael.jpg).
