Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karl Green" data-source="post: 1940706" data-attributes="member: 1467">(occ OK just about ready to start... so hold posting for just a little while longer /occ)///Prologue 4, Sharn, four hours ago (early morning), Sul, Third Week of Therendor (also known as Therendor 15, the 'Sun's Blessing', 998YK///Looking down at the King’s Bridge, Neville Rathbone is again struck by how much the city has changed in the years he was 'lost', and two years here has not changed that. The bridge is huge, connecting a number of towers on southwestern Hightower ward of the Central Plateau to the Medthis Plateau and the University District. The bridge then continued on, all the way to southern Dura and the Ocean View district. Spanning a total of some 5,000 feet, each arch almost 2,500 feet alone, and it was at least 150 feet wide. Six giant statues, like great silent sentiencys, were set as anchors for the bridge at each span. They were knights of old, each bearing a sword held at 'salute' to the King and each were some 400ft tall.The festival of Dol Arrach, the Sovereign Host of Honor and Light, also called the Sun's Blessing was the day the city chosen to celebrate this huge bridges' opening. Flags, acrobatics, streamers, singers, carts, cheering people, wagons, dancers, animals, vendors, pickpockets, barking dogs, and screaming playing children filled the span of the bridge as far as Neville could see. Why in the world did he want to meet here? Could we be in a more public place?? he thinks. Wondering not for the hundreds time why he does not just leave these civilized lands for the peace of the wilds again. “Ah there you are my good man” a sharp voice shock him out of his thoughts. Turning, Neville sees the man he is here to meet… 13 what kind of bloody stupid name is that anyway? “So good to see you again. I trust your are enjoying the view?” Neville simply grunted, causing 13 to smile his unnaturally with his large mouth that could so unnerve a man “Ah that is what I like about you the most Neville, your way with words. It is so refreshing from those that I normally deal with” Looking out over the bridge from their vantage point of a balcony off of the Airship Docking Tower (the highest tower in Sharn), 13 is silent for a moment, taking in the view “Beautiful is it not? These grand constructions show all of Khorvaire the power and majesty of Breland don’t you think?”Before Neville can answer, 13 continues “Now then on to why I have called you here. Your nation has need of you again old boy. Not just our nation though, mayhaps the whole world needs your help. I am forming a team of… special… individuals to take on a very dangerous, but important job. I need someone who can control their various personalities and direct them to getting the job done as quickly and as effectively as possible. That someone is you old boy.”Smiling, 13 draws out two cigars from an inside jacket pocket, and offers one to Neville  “Talentan red weed, the best. Have one.” Lighting his own he continues “We can get into specifics when you meet the rest of your team, but for right now, take comfort in the knowledge that there are those in high places that pushed for you as the natural choice to fill this role. They and myself have every confidence in your abilities my good fellow” Looking straight into Neville's eyes, 13 puffs on his cigar and says “Now then are you ready to meet your team… your League of Extraordinaries?”</blockquote>
