Haeraan goes looking for elven splodey powder. It'll take 30 barrels to
take out a tunnel. Given hazard rates, they charge 1750 g. We get one,
understanding potential risk. He must provide two 10th level paladins,
with a life-giving and as much healing as required. Haeraan and the guy
sign.
Orhan 1 Day 21 TE 6066
The records crab sends Oathar a note saying that the party is on the Frequent
Donators List for Blinky 6066. The whole party is on the list. Bah!
Sigh, to make himself feel better, Oathar goes to the Great Library of
Nomikos and studies the fall of Zor. There were three main dynasties that
ruled Zor, the Lankor, the Xaon, and the Kitaan. The last rulers of Zor.
The Kitaan line wanted power and technology as a tool to get it. When they
united technology with magic, that was their undoing. Nikor was the penultimate
king. Zor fell in 4980 SE. King of Rakhan at the time was Thaddeus II.
That quote: "There was a light like a thousand suns rising suddenly...
"
Griffin College was founded in 4800 SW by the refugees from Zor. Oathar
will probably investigate that next.

The monks at the Changramai monastery are busy packing up supplies, food
bandages, etc. Alynna gets a note from Tevar which includes a piece of
Shalk, the indestructable paper, which says, "In the event of an open conflict,
the Linaer Alynna is given tactical control of all units of the Changrmai."
Whoa..

at Armageddon. Since we are short commanders for that.

shields. Oathar puts people on it. Regular swords cost a gold, shields
costs 7 silver.
Haeraan recruits 50 Pokanti guys. Oathar has to equip them from scratch.
Orhan 1 Day 25 TE 6066
Oathar goes to Griffen College. Oathar gets a book about the founding
of the college. It was founded by Zorian refugees to an area just inside
of Rakhaan, in what's now known as the ducy of Preven. Oathar reads the
later writings of the younger founders. It was meant to be in opposition
to the values of Zor, no technology purely for the grasping of power. They
were the true heirs to the Griffins. The scouts and hunters who supported
the college were named the Griffins. The Griffins reported that it was
on Orhan 3 Day 8 4980 SE that the great flash was seen. He also finds out
that their hopes had died when Nikor Kitaan (Faithful to the Griffin) was
assassinated when he tried to return to the ways of the early kings.
In one of the histories it is note: "And yes, I found out about the secret
meeting between the mage and the king. Clearly they were conspiring against
the Empire, and there was talk of destruction and fleeing. With luck, someone
will kill this mage before he poisons the ear of the king further."
Orhan 1 Day 26 TE 6066
Oathar goes to talk to Mornan Xaon. He tries to figure out the talking
to the past from the farther past con. But it's a tricky one. There are
certain things he could do as a legitimate king of Zor, but it's not something
he could deligate to others. Hmm, Oathar goes off to ponder all this.
Orhan 1 Day 27 TE 6066
Current events. The mayor of Izar is proposing a set of reforms on the
city council. He's attempting to go directly to the people to avoid the
corrupt bureaucrats who are destroying their fair city. First Citizen Trask
is mayor of Orian. The city council of Orian is dominated by his faction.
The porn wars continue unabated with a giant statue of Kyrik set up at
the main temple. Dynax has been cleaned up is some ways. The violent crime
rate has gone down. The amount of moral crimes has gone through the roof.
The economics have picked up. There are shows and entertainment clubs all
over the place. Alynna suggests a drug trade might cut the porn wars down
a little, or at least be very profitable. The Brotherhood of the Holy Word
has opened up a chapterhouse there. They sell little blue pills. Then Alynna
proposes a public casino house where all the dealers are wearing rings
of truth.
Arisia determines that there have been some changes in the Sarnaki directorate,
but there haven't been any overt military moves. they have purchased some
ship recently. Ships that are easily reconfigured to moving troops.
Orhan 1 Day 28 TE 6066
Kyrik investigates Danarchan casinos hoping to get a business plan to
replicate in Dynax. He hires Bugsy the casino manager. He starts setting
up a class act. We'll also have to hire a lot of security. He hires an
architect, and comission a place.
