<strong>DM<br/>Introduction<br/>Tag: Harriet</strong><br/><br/>(See the very first post IC here for further lore details.)<br/><br/>They says money cannot buy happiness, but you can be far more comfortably happy on sheets of silk than rags.<br/>Or try to sleep and get some rest, anyway. Harriet refused to sleep right now, because she knew she'd wake up in the palace again.<br/>Now palace in and of themselfs were fine, but this particular palace of red velvet, this accursed, recurring dream - nighmare she had, did not hold normal servants and subjects, to the contrary, while they were loyal to her, so was she, to them. exposing herself on her throne, debasing themselfs before them, she could see it now, a mighty queen, talking about matters of state,.. while stroking her advisor under their robe. Not a human advisor either, just gauging by his girth, the demonic creature leaning down, grinning down at her, a whispered 'My queen' encouraging her...<br/><br/>And Harriet startled awake. This dream first happened when she made this regrettable pact, didn't it?...<br/><br/>~You awaken from your sleep and strange dreams. They felt so real for dreams. A light floating by your bedside alerts you to a glowing writing, just.. hovering there, waiting to be read:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">spellcraft 19</div><div class="spoiler_body">It's some sort of customized message spell. One way, harmless but tailored to only respond under specific conditions.</div></div><br/><em>My name is Armiala Aikaten, Elfish High Wizard of Ayvenforest.<br/>If you have recieved and can read this letter then know that we have a common foe that, in our foolishness, we offered more to than we ever should have.<br/><br/>I am trying to divine the nature of this fiend that seeks to corrupt our very beings and any kind of help is welcomed greatly. If you wish to assist me in my endeavours, travel to the Valenlands, to find the tower of Ain'und. This letter shall serve as your proof of entry. Hasten, for I feel the fiends grip upon our being growing ever stronger.<br/>Respectfully,<br/>Armiala Aikaten</em><br/>If you read up to the end, the message unfolds into a light-structured map, showing you the way and location to go to for a few long moments, before slowly fading away, it's magic used up. You have no indication if you can trust this message.. or if you can not trust it. You can always try working on your condition your own, or you could head to the tower, it seems to be in a small valley at the border of Valenlands, perhaps an old watchtower?
