Chapter Number1
TitleA School of Magic
Primary Locationtrayalon
Detailed NarrativeThomas Cassius teaches nobles parlor tricks to fund his real work: a theory of Rune Crystals and a universal-magic doctrine he calls 'The Interactive influences of cross planar energies and effect upon the prime plane'. His lab is a midden of half-working Hesh relics — a marble that answers questions (1% prophetic), a displacement ring, a pen that stores spells, and an earring, one of a pair, that stored the identities of important people.
Admon Gallund has three children: Peter (high-strung heir, rogue/fighter), Finn (the youngest, a gambler and womaniser), and Kamese (bard loremaster following her mother into Hesh history). Duncan's Monastery has split into three styles — Jade Lotus, the pacifist Lotus Petal, and the harder Jade Fist — with ~1,000 lay practitioners. Solomon runs the arena, a spy network reaching into Arla, a tavern ('A Place to Drink') in every major town, and the first Bank of Adair: a kingdom within kingdoms.
The party — Finn Gallund, Trankle (and his eidolon Bubbles), Artemon Tretcord, Harfur, and Maddie Cassius — sails for Arla. Second Mate Kate becomes Captain Kate over the voyage after a sea battle and the death of Captain Pom. They make landfall at Brightport.
Events
Summaryh-141. Thirty-two years after the founding of Trayalon and twenty-five after Tray Gallund's death, the Gallund truce holds the River Lords together and Trayalon has grown from ~100,000 to 350,000. At Cassius' School of Magic — the first school of magic in the river empire since Terek's Folly — the next generation of adventurers meets, and Seamus Adair (now operating as Solomon) recruits them through Finn to gather intelligence on Arla.
