[QUOTE="Cafu, post: 6931584, member: 6692807"] The city of Gate Pass was in the process of being rebuilt. Despite all that had happened, there was a sense of optimism in the air, a feeling that the worst was over and that everything would be better now. I hoped that this was not displaced. New leaders took responsibility for establishing the community and ensuring that there was the least hardship possible. Although Rantle had perished in the final assault on Two Dragon Pass, thankfully, Diogenes was still alive and well. Despite his sour demeanour, he was a very competent administrator as well as a powerful mage and one of the first institutions to be re-established was Gabal’s Tower, now rather embarrassingly called Faden’s Tower. I felt fraudulent as I spent little time there. Diogenes ran everything with a competent staff and soon had the beginnings of a school for talented youngsters. He managed to convince me to give a few instructive classes here and there, which I did. I saw that the skill of being able to disguise spell casting to avoid the ability of Inquisitors to counter our spells had been almost completely lost and made sure that that it was quickly made a part of the curriculum. I also insisted that this became available to priests, after I saw how difficult it had been for Felix to cast spells when faced with Inquisitors. I was only there for part of the time though. Now that we had unrestrained magical travel, I spent a great deal of time travelling, looking, learning and experiencing not only various parts of the world but also the planes. I was fascinated by the elemental planes, the good planes and several of the neutral ones. I left both the Abyss and the Hells well alone. Sometimes I travelled with Felix and John; Drudge also joined us at times, but Victor rarely left Gate Pass. He had become deeply involved in rebuilding the city. I had heard the both his surviving family members had perished in the recent troubles. I would catch snippets of news as I travelled. The Southern realms were more or less at peace. The Ragesian Empire was going through an upheaval that could take generations to settle. Ultimately, it may lead to its dissolution as a political entity. As of writing this, there seems to be no sign of Shaaladel invading at this time, although that may change. There was certainly no indication that he was going to “wipe out every Ragesian on the face of the earth” as he had claimed upon learning of Shalosha’s capture. We heard little more of him at this except for one small episode: several individuals reportedly arrived from the Monastery of Echoed Souls and began preaching the truth about the Crusade against the Taranesti Elves. That did not last long as they were encouraged to either leave or keep quiet. Over time, we met with Shalosha to exchange news and she explained that her father had mellowed considerably, especially now that he felt that the threat from the Ragesian Empire had considerably abated but there were limits and the Taranesti Crusade was one of them. Interestingly, our meetings with Shalosha became fairly regular and every so often she would ask us to do a few favours for her. Nothing too onerous but it was enough to keep in touch. The Forest of Innenotdar received its Living Blade back which was planted with due ceremony. The Seelah were now under the benevolent leadership of the unicorn and the Ghaele, both of whom had returned from their caves and their enchanted sleep. Tiljann reportedly kept in regular contact with her kin but spent most of her time among the Wayfinders, who sailed off in their ship and staged a continuous theatrical performance of the War of the Burning Sky. Finally, when we returned to Gate Pass, we found that the golden eyed child which we had rescued from the Trillith had disappeared and no matter how powerful a magic we employed, we were unable to locate her. And so lives went on, tales were spun and the sky stopped burning. [/QUOTE]
