She moves to help him with the armor, touching it in unusual places. As she does, it starts to adjust itself, loosening or tightening as needed, to fit him more comfortably. It's remarkably light, for being metal; it feels more like wearing a winter coat than a heavy suit of armor. It shouldn't slow him down, any, at the least.<br/><br/>She smiles, as he sounds as if he's ready to leave. "There is much more to discuss, actually; besides, you cannot leave, yet. Your guide has not arrived, and I still need to make several more adjustments, to prepare your equipment. But, I suppose you do deserve a proper explanation," she says, gesturing for him to walk with her, as she makes her way through the hoard, unerringly picking out several more objects from her treasure piles, including a headband, a ring, cloak, and other accessories, as well as a large backpack. She leads him to a room near the back, that consists primarily of shelves, stocked with jars, filled with strange dusts, and a two-foot-wide circle, made out of gold, inlaid in the tabletop, surrounded by intricate designs. As she speaks, she pulls out one of the objects, and grabs several of the jars, adding small piles of dust into the circle, along with the item, her hands moving dextrously, as she performs some sort of arcane ritual.<br/><br/>"The current state of this world is such as you might recognize it as prior to your Industrial Revolution; it has remained in such a state for the better part of three thousand years, the advancement of industry kept in check by the competing effects of arcane knowledge. Without the drive your world experienced to improve efficiency, the world has remained mostly constant, and while it is not part of the plan to keep it in this state permanently, the evolution should arise from within, without outside influence."<br/><br/>"Unfortunately, something has been influencing this development, out of the proper order of things. A competing force has, apparently, installed their own agents, planting knowledge and ideas that the world is not yet ready for. The nation of Sacaria has been the primary source of this issue, and the advancements in technology over the last decade and a half have been... significant. With the improvements in technology, and the subsequent protection from magic it imparts, they have grown arrogant and powerful; again, I suspect an outside force is influencing their politics, but I cannot be certain. What I am needing from you, Champion, is two-fold; the removal of these outside, corrupting influences, and the planting of the seeds of progress in the minds of the people in other nations, in a fashion more appropriate to the proper course of development."
