[QUOTE="Lobo Lurker, post: 2035256, member: 25172"] The next day, after washing and dressing (and possibly eating breakfast) you make your way accross Sharn's fantastic arching bridges and towers. You marvel the great height of the structures as you make your way though the crowds. Finally arriving at the Tower of Seven stairs you see why it's earned that name. A pair of massive stairways, each half as wide as a boulevard, climb thier way up the tower in such a way as to have two exits and entrances on each level of the massive tower. Ornately carved into the sides of the tower in each of the cardinal directions, a stone ladder can be seen climbing into the heights and decending into the depths below. Making your way into the tower you see eateries, bookshops, a bakery... it's just like mall that streches upward beyond imagination. The perceptive among you note that each entrance of each floor of the building has a security person in a black and gray uniform. On the breast of each of these uniforms is the same seal that adorned your letters of invitation. Slowly making your way to the 46th floor by way of a mechanical crank-driven platform powered by a quartet massive (yet well-groomed) ogres in the same uniform as the guards at the doorways. The Valtosh Jade Museum is a quiet establishment that takes up this entire level and the level above as well. Flyers promise exotic works of far off cultures and site the University of Wynarn as one of the museum's patrons. School children lead by thier teacher and a handful of minders are in line getting ready to go inside and view thier history lesson/field trip. By presenting your jade amulets you are allowed to enter free of charge and are directed past mummy's, bas relief's, statuary, and carvings of jade, turquoise, and gold. The atmosphere here is reserved, quiet, and studious. The heart of the museum, a chamber opens up into the floor above and you can see various galleries promising exciting and beatiful works of art from Argonassen, Xen'Drik, and Sarlona. A large cafe is situated on the floor of this open space and a variety of people are having coffee, tea, and sweetbreads. Noting your medallions, the serving staff direct you to a pair of large tables pushed together toward the back end of the cafe... where a most wondrous site awaits you. A young man, perhaps 17 years old with sandy blonde hair and a slim build sits at the head of the tables. From his neck dangles a thick bronze chain and a very large ruby that seems to glint with its own inner light. His clothes are finely tailored, but not terribly ostentacious. He waves to you and indicates that you should sit. A large red-haired woman stands behind him and seems to be scanning the room. The insignia of house Deneith is clearly visible on the shoulders of the long leather coat that she wears. A finely crafted darkwood crossbow lies within easy reach of her hands. The table's other occupant is far more interesting. It appears to be an elf with midnight black skin ([i]for the purposes of this game, the world at large has no idea what a dark elf is[/i]). A scarlet scarf is tied in a way that cover's his left eye and his long gray hair is tied behind his head. The remaining eye is a baleful red as he regards you for a few seconde before returning to sipping whatever it is that's in his cup. From his dress, you'd say that he was a sailor and not a poor one at that. A black, wide brimmed, blue-feathered hat lies on teh table in front of him. [u]Rezzin[/u]: [SBLOCK]This is the captain of the Lunar Fury, a ship well known for privateering during the Last War and now for smuggling artifacts from Xen'Drik to Sharn. You met him a few month's back and he offered you a position on his crew, but due to circumstances, you had to decline.[/SBLOCK] [u]Xarut[/u]: [SBLOCK]The creature is a drow. You remember that some ancient rift amongst the early elf civilization of Xen'Drik separated your people and over the course of the millena they changed and became something different. Your people don't hold them in high regard, but don't necessarily have a problem with them either.[/SBLOCK] A black-haired human (house Lyrander from his clothing) and a dark-skinned half-elf woman (house Vadalis from the medallion that hands from her neck) round out the people waiting for your arrival.
