You sat through a long ceremony in Voriph, as Vixterrak's (Vix-Thur) followers have been removed from their posts. You were bored, but managed to keep alert by cracking wise through the mental link provided by Viztria. You are pretty sure this is a normal amount of the Arcatan version of V for any group of proper nouns. You perked right up at the mention of your name by emperor Nelg-Sareth, who granted you lands in Ato-Sur, and a villa in Fen-Aran. You don't remember everything, but you do remember:
Quote:
"We uplift Maexxna from the merchant class. He is now Maex-thul, and is granted dominion over trade. We uplift Rixs Noucat from the merchant class. He is now Rix-Thur, and is granted dominion over all of Reg-arn. We uplift Breffen. He is now Bref-Thul, and is granted dominion over industry in Tura...."
(this continues for several minutes, as several members of the resistance are promoted)
"In Voriph, we have kept our bloodlines pure. We have accepted external help only rarely, and only in limited measure. But Rixs' friends all hail from every continent but Umbra, and were invaluable in freeing our entire continent from Vix-Thur and the horror he had joined with- a horror that made Miryanna herself cry. We offer lands in Ato-sur in gratitude, and villas here in Fen-Aran."
Once that was over, you were approached by a representative of the House of the Blood Moon. Well, if you were Keichi Gahn, that is. If you weren't, you just watched as he was given a pitted bazzak, Narso's sword, and Narso's head. Maybe if you were as awesome as Keichi, you would have been given these things instead. But you aren't, are you?
No.
Shortly thereafter you all teleported to Emerald, where you met with friends to find out how to best deal with a possible Seryantic in a city of dragons. You also received a letter from Haluk, telling of Narso killing Chrysanthemum, and a plan to attack him with the aid of some Pallians out to impress Keichi. Well, you received that letter if you were Alenka, otherwise you just listened to her read it, which was good because she was likely
gathering information from it, right? You didn't like that these two had died killing Narso, even if the end result was a dead Narso.
After being sad about that, you talked with Zeli Ralxardon, your gold dragon ally, and you talked with Lady Sarah Ann, now known to be The Night Cloak. You also met with Octessa and Zeth, though they had nothing of interest. Zeli gave you instructions to meet his father.
You promptly teleported there after selling and buying and upgrading and oh by all Gods you have so much shiny loot now!
You teleported to Mertan's demense, and followed his servants into his underground manner. It did not take you long to like Mertan, who was polite and convinced of your need. You learned much of the dragon clans! You learned that the Razor clan, Zeli's clan, follows Jaenca closely and actively seeks out the preservation of dragonkind- you definitely remember the fact that Zeli's life is pledged to defending a bloodline that could be used to gain access to ancient magic that could destroy or control dragons (you aren't exactly sure why the bloodline isn't killed off, but you figure they probably have a good reason, right? you are less convinced after dealing with the alien thoughts of many other dragons though...). You ride in to Dragon City on pegasi, and from there you walk, climb, or fly, as appropriate. You meet members of the Clan of Infinite Perspective, who believe that all of Caligo is a dream, and that if the last dreamer from before the formation of the world were to waken, it would cease to exist. You learned, to your surprise, that they have a dream world to host the conscious minds of the dreamers in a pleasant world similar to Tanna, one of the destroyed worlds that contributed much to Caligo's creation, a vacation spot whilst the subconscious minds keep Caligo in existence. You even went to this place, and flew very very high in the sky to see the limits of the magical dream world. Unless you aren't Rigby, in which case, you do not have wings.
How sad.
You left that area with your friends, not knowing what to think. You went to the Shield Clan, who were almost all in humanoid form. You learned that this clan, almost all silver dragons, believes in all life being sacred, that joy should be maximized, and pain minimized. You were a bit comforted by their more humanoid philosophy, but they were still dragons through and through. You couldn't convince them to help or investigate without more evidence, though it appears, you think, that some wheels were spinning. You were either comforted or disturbed that none of the Shield Clan agrees with Clan of Infinite Perspective's opinions about Caligo, or preserved Elves.
From there, you journeyed to the Clan of Lifegiving Water, where you gave them great offense, and were escorted out immediately. You decided that their worships of a neutral evil water deity was very strange for metallic dragons, and that their battle-records of Torgtho-Fieso probably weren't very important anyway.
You decided to mix things up by visiting the Hidden Pearl clan, a group of chromatic dragons with a philosophy that is almost neutral. You meet Drelthanoxarrox for the second time, and he remembers when you decided as a group to warn them of the chromatic dragon boxes. He tells you of a location on the isle where digging is happening, and that the Skydeath Clan was recruiting the dragons, with subtlety, who had such abilities. He's not sure why, but it definitely stands out in your mind as the best lead thus far.
To relax, you then fly up to the Skybold Clan, whose members are busy wrestling, and who have a wide variety of draconic melee weapons. These mercenaries are mostly bronze, and you definitely recall seeing many of them helping to defend Dulal against the Voriphans, back before you executed the fuck out of Vix-Thur. They don't have much to offer you besides a willingness to help when you find any evidence at all.
You then decide to rest with the Razor clan, whose tokens have given you access to all this fun stuff.
You are so excited for part 33!
