They sail through the Yerasol Archipelago toward Beaumont.  500 A.O.V., Autumn, Day 89While passing the Yerasol Archipelago, they notice smoke rising from the water, as if from a steamship, but no ship is visible. Upon closer inspection, they realize it’s the top of a submarine.  Shortly after, two ships from Danor approach to investigate (named 'Canis and Carnes' and 'Amicus Selachii'). The papers of the group are in order, and nothing suspicious is found (thanks to their thorough preparation). The ships depart.  501 A.O.V., Winter, Day 1The group arrives in Beaumont, where they meet a new member: Aurelius, an Aasimar Deva. Aurelius doesn’t speak Common but knows Infernal, Celestial, and Abyssal. He communicates using Comprehend Languages. Highly religious, he frequently speaks about the "Light of the Dawnbringer".501 A.O.V., Winter, Day 11The group boards the train in Beaumont.  The conductor introduces himself as Xorin Marchant. The chef is Kov Marik, and the pianist Doris Gavagne.  A half-orc family also boards the train. After speaking with them, the group learns their surname is Griento, and their names are Damata (father), Ejeka (mother), Tarro (son), and Dabo (daughter). Tarro is a mischievous boy, while Damata mentions he invests in buildings.Another notable passenger is Brianne “Bree” Kaldeckis, who has a prominent scar on her arm, which impresses Tarro.  Later, Malia Baccarin, responsible for the train’s security, stops by. She explains a tradition to hunt monsters in the Malice Lands (between Orithea and Trekhom). She offers weapons for 100 gp per person. Both Bree and Damata (along with his son) express interest, as do most group members, except for Ben/Red.  At a stop in Keskay, more passengers board:  <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Elanor Yanette, an exotically dressed woman accompanied by a gagged and chained figure.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A well-dressed tiefling named Olivert Boone, who enters arm-in-arm with two ladies.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Verzubak Tantalovich, a dwarf.</li> </ol>The group becomes curious about Elanor Yanette, who is revealed to enjoy erotic literature. The figure chained to her hums with a youthful voice, but Elanor silences them with a slap.  Aurelius attempts to preach his religion to passengers in third class.  After some time, Tarro runs in excitedly, announcing that someone has died on the train. The group investigates and discovers that a passenger (Argibald) choked on a nut after being bumped by Verzubak. However, their assistance isn’t needed, as Malia assures them she has the situation under control.  To lift the mood, Olivert Boone offers a round of drinks for everyone.  After a while, the train enters the dead-magic zone of Danor.  <code class="bbCodeInline">Note: So... about Aurelius. The character basically came from some other demon-filled plane, coming here to revert people to 'the dawnbringer'. But also, he's a deva, a reïncarnated Galarin? Don't ask me how it works with the Zeitgeist planar physics and the Deva proporties, we're just gonna roll with it 😛.</code></blockquote>
