From the re-countenance of Jura Mist:
12th Fentuary, Year 5 of the 6th Age.

The party was almost to Catherby when we came across an odd sight. A man laying in the road next to a cart. The cart, fully loaded with various forms of alcohol in barrels and casks along with the ingredients to make the them, appeared to have a broken wheel.We rolled him over, and brushed the dirt and leaves from his face. It turned out to be Unbreakable, the master brewer from the tavern in Seers village! Apparently he had sampled his wares a little too much and had been fired. Making it to where we had found him before passing out.We loaded Unbreakable onto the cook's cart and distributed his wares between all that had carts or wheel barrows before marching onward to Catherby.

We arrived at Catherby a few hours later. Unbreakable, now that he had sobered up, started to wake up, stretch, belch, and fart loudly. He then proceeded to jump off the cook's cart and turn to Psycotropy the cook, "Where am I and where is my gear?" At this point I had tuned the two of them out as Psycotropy explained how Unbreakable had gotten to the fishing town. The rapidly sobering man, noting a hangover, walked off to locate one of his casks and proceeded to drink straight from it. Surprisingly, it actually seamed to make him feel a lot better.

Psycotropy and a few of the Knights, being in a fishing area grabbed some fishing gear and walked to the beach to catch fish for the evening meal. After a while he started to cleaned the many fine fish they had caught in preparation for the party's dinner. I being an avid farmer, came up to with an armful of potatoes and asked if for them to be added to the meal. That night the rest of the men gathered together for a feast of fish and chips, and with Unbreakable joining in as well, a large amount of beer and spirits were enjoyed too. I wait and watch the sky's for messenger crows from Priff.
I fear a world storm is coming.

The Chest in the Shade

Cain stood on the shores of a shadowy island, the likes of which he had never seen before. The tide was high, and the waves crashed against the shore, the bursts of sea soaring into the breeze and occasionally striking Cain in the face. Brushing the salt from his brow, Cain gazed above, to see that three stars in the night sky were brighter than the rest, and they were providing the main source of light to this dismal isle.

Cain began to move inland, and as he moved away from the shores, the island became still and silent. Cain could only hear the sound of his own breath - hurried, harried, and fraught with worry as to his strange circumstances. He searched his pack for a lantern, and lit it. The flame ignited, and Cain let out a brief sigh of relief for a moment. Then as Cain blinked, the fire was gone, as if it was never there - as if a warm, comforting force was unable to exist in this forsaken land.

After some time spent walking, Cain stumbled upon a locked treasure chest. The chest was grand and ornate. There were intricate carvings and depictions of marvelous creatures along the chest - unicorns, sirens, dragons, and more. The rims and handles of the chest were golden. Cain tried to open it, but the chest was firmly locked.

"Ah, you'll have to do better than that," a voice teased from the shadows. Cain turned around to see a figure in the shade.

"Who are you?" Cain asked.

"Someone you can't see. A better question is, who are you?"

"Cain Dundragon." He chuckled, finding the figure's response amusing.

Suddenly, the figure appeared next to the chest. "No, no, no," he spoke, "this won't do. You have to know who you are to open this box. It won't open otherwise."

"What's in the box?" Cain asked, confused.

"It is the cure for all ills. It can take all creatures and bend their wills. It can stop all crime, and it can even stop time."

Cain wanted to reply, but the world began to fade.

An Interesting Voyage

"The Skulls are coming! The Skulls are coming!" squawked a parrot, flying annoyingly around the Khagan's chambers. Cain rubbed his eyes. That dream was just getting good, too. I wonder what's in that chest?

Cain stood up and grabbed a hold of his parrot, Polly, and put it back in its cage. "Polly, you have to stop saying that the skulls are coming."

"The skulls are coming!" Polly said, mimicking Cain's last words.

"No, I - nevermind." Cain gave up. I'm talking to a bird...

Polly had been doing this for three days now, ever since Cain read the Pharoah's letter aloud in his room. The situation was pretty serious, and Cain hadn't been getting much sleep since. He had sent out letters to all of the Khagans to meet him in secret. The meeting was tonight, at sunset, in the hidden grove outside of Tuai Leit.

Cain boarded the Spirit of Anagami, which was sailed down from Tuai Leit to secure the Khagan's arrival. Once Cain was aboard, he talked with the crew to pass the time of the voyage. One of the navigators was looking over a star map and charts of the uncharted isles that the Empire had visited.

Well, I suppose now that these isles are charted, we can't call them uncharted anymore. Perhaps we should call them the "isles that were once uncharted."

Cain was going to laugh at his own joke when he noticed that one of the islands was marked by three bright stars. Cain called over the navigator and the captain of the boat immediately.

"Tell me about this island," Cain ordered.

"Aye, well they say that there is treasure there. A powerful treasure - " the captain began.

"The cure for all ills, that sort of thing?"

"Well...aye. I didn't expect you to know that sort of thing, since you're not from -"

"And no one can open it?"

"Aye, and -"

"Take us there. Now." Cain Izrail |

Recovering the Chest

Cain arrived on the shores of the isle from his dreams, but, much to his surprise, it was thankfully way more cheery than it was before. The tide still splashed Cain in the face.

A long walk to the heart of the island revealed the chest, exactly where Cain had found it in the dream, except this time it reflected the wonderful light of the sun.

"I am Cain Dundrgon." The chest did not open. Well, there goes the theory that the Shadow person was lying to me.

"I am Khagan of the Arc." The chest did not open. Cain tried a bunch of childhood nicknames, things his uncle used to call him, but all to no avail.

The sun was hanging low in the sky. The ship's captain came over. "My Khagan, if we do not leave now, we will not arrive in time for the meeting of the Khans."

Cain sighed. "You're right. This was silly."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just...I don't even know what my parents named me. And, to think that a mystical treasure would solve all of our problems. I'm such a fool for thinking I could open this chest."

Click. With that, the chest opened.

Cain looked inside the chest, and saw the answer to all the riddles. He stared at it for a minute, dumbfounded. Then he began to smile. Then, he began to laugh - harder than he had for a long time.

The Captain stared at Cain, perplexed. "What's in the box? What's so funny?"

Cain smiled, closing the lid. "Don't worry. Take me to Tuai Leit. I have a plan." Cain Izrail |

A Meeting of the Khans

Cain arrived at Tuai Leit a bit later than planned. The sun was already down, and the normally bustling port was winding down to a quiet standstill. Cain formally greeted the workers of Tuai Leit as the Khagan, and he had some of them take care of his personal items. Once he was free, he darted over to the secret meeting spot.

The pathway to the meeting spot seemed empty.

Out of the shadows, Mimring appeared. "You're late."

From behind a tree, Sei appeared. "Did we have to pick this forest as a meeting spot?"

Cain jumped at their sudden appearance. "Do you always have to scare me like that?"

"Well, you were the one who insisted on all the cloak and dagger," Sei commented.

"Right. Where are the others?"

"They are waiting ahead. Come." Mimring said.

With all of the Khans gathered, Cain began to explain his plan.

"As you are all aware, the Skulls have gained control over a powerful sea creature, and they are headed this way. All of our efforts to control the creature have been in vain, but we have overlooked something critical."

The Khans looked at Cain, confused.

"The fact that the creature has not attacked the Skulls means that it can be controlled by some means. We must figure out the means of this control. One of you must do this by infiltrating the ranks of the Skulls."

"At the same time," Cain continued, "everyone must know that I have acquired this chest. The fabled chest of the uncharted isles. The cure of all ills, the bender of all wills. Only I can open it. My location and that of the chest will be hidden...until we know how the sea creature is controlled. Once we do, then I will make a trade - the creature for the chest." Cain Izrail |

An impling teleported into Artemis’s lab.
“Hey boss, there some weird mushrooms ova der near Canifis. They have magic all round em. Me finks ya should look into it.”
Artemis continued to tinker with his instruments at his workbench.
“Maybe later Boris. Right now…”
Tink…tink… SHATTER!
“Darn it!”
Artemis shouted as he turned to the imp.
“You know not to disturb me while I am working!”
He made his way to pick up the imp and it teleported backwards and recoiled in fear.
"S…sorry…boss…You tolded us to poke around in da new lands…I go now…”
With that, the impling teleported away.

Artemis sighed and looked at the mess that had been made.
“So much for the potion. Another day perhaps.”
He thought to himself as he called for a servant to clean up the mess. He left his lab upset but curious about the so called magic mushrooms.

After several hours of flight, Artemis landed in the western outskirts of Canifis. He seen the mushrooms that the impling had mentioned. The seemed to glow with a pale blue green energy. He walked towards them as he shifted back into human form. A gentle hum was in the air as he moved closer. He could feel energy, but not the same variety that came from the divination rifts of the world. Artemis knelt down and touched one of the larger glowing mushrooms. The sensation was strong enough to knock him out.
