Upon taking the book he agreed to include you in his plans, but then informed you that things were not yet ready. You were given instructions to lay low in Eodin until you were called upon again - he would be in contact soon to give you insight into what was to come next.<br/><br/>For the two weeks that followed you were able to get the lay of the land in Eodin and become somewhat familiar with its layout.<br/><br/>Tonight, on the 17th day since you last spoke to Azzir, you return to the room at the inn you’ve been staying at - <strong>The Stonemug Tavern</strong> - to find an unsealed letter sitting on your bed, but nothing else in the room disturbed. Upon opening the letter you find it contains a location and a time - across town, and in the next hour. As soon as your eyes read the last word the ink vanishes and the symbol of Tannik appears on the parchment before the entire thing turns to ash in your hand.<br/><br/>You leave Stonemug and head west through the dark streets of Eodin until you finally come across <strong>Ironwheel Works</strong>, a wheelwright’s shop that was indicated in the letter. Knocking softly on the door you are greeted by a tired looking man that looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks; his eyes are glossed over and for the briefest of moments you can detect a hint of arcane magic surrounding him. “What’s your business?” He inquires, and you reply <em>“I wish to see the black wheel,”</em> as indicated in your letter. He grants you passage into the otherwise mundane shop and takes you to a hatch in the floor behind the counter. He opens it for you and down below you find hidden stairs that lead to a cozy little room, where your new benefactor, Azzir Tannik, sits waiting for you.<br/></span></div></div><div class="floatleft">(http://imgur.com/CpZ09Ch.jpg)</div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Georgia;">“Rushiya,” Tannik spoke, quietly behind the seared clay mask that clung to his face, obscuring his features from view - only his glowing violet eyes peering through the darkness and following the Triton’s movements as she entered the room. “I must apologize for keeping you in the dark for as long as I have.” He said with the smallest of pauses, “There was a last moment change of plans that I had not foreseen. It’s been dealt with, and I am ready to move forward.”<br/><br/>Rising from his seat at the small wooden table he waved a hand at the seat across from his, “Come, join me. We have much to discuss.”<br/><br/>Like your first encounter with Tannik, he is a man that stands just over six feet tall. Based solely on the width of his shoulders and the stature that he keeps, you can assume that he is some type of genuine humanoid - human, elf, half-elf, or something along those lines. In both situations where you have had dealings with him, he has worn a mask, the same in both cases - a black and white painted one, where the lower face is black and the nose and above is white except for a black dot on the forehead. Concealing his ears and his hair is a hood that is attached to the cloak that wraps around his body, simple in design but elegant in the material.<br/><br/>The room that you’ve entered is no bigger than a bedroom, almost as big as the room you’d been staying in. It’s got few comforts and no decorations but is clearly meant as a hiding place rather than a storage room. The table has two chairs, and there is a shelf with miscellaneous possessions decorating it. Above you, in the shop, you can hear the slow steps of the wheelwright as he moves around doing whatever business he has yet to finish for the day.<br/><br/></span><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Game Master</strong></span></span></div><hr/>
