Lost Homeland

[Aereas]

As the man says something else I turn back only to realize its something I can't understand and meant for Vita. A curious glance between the two is all I give before shrugging and turning to Alth saying "To the hall of Farewell of course." Then fully expecting him to be following me I head to the mentioned building.

 

[Dog Moon]

The directions are very simple and only a fool would get lost from them. The building is a two-story building of a simple design, unlike many of the other buildings. A sign hangs out above the door with more words you cannot understand beneath the symbol of a simple stone tower before a sword.

Entering the building reveals a small, single room with a counter, a door on the other side of the room, and a man sitting behind the counter. His skin is translucent blue and he looks up to you from the book he is currently reading. He wears a pair of glasses with thin silver frames and gray robes with impressive embroidery, onto which is tacked a pin with the same symbol as that on the sign above the door outside. An assistant sits off to the side, also translucent blue, and he almost appears to be sleeping. He also wears gray robes, though they are much simpler and darker than the first man's. Tacked onto his robe is the same pin.

He speaks some words you do not understand, leaving Vita to translate once again. She responds and he says something to the other Ghost. The 'sleeping' Ghost opens an eye and pauses for a moment before eyeing you three. With a great, exaggerated sigh, he climbs to his feet and heads to the door behind the counter. The first man smiles in an attempt to hide the annoyance, but both of you catch it. He speaks and Vita turns to you two.

"His assistant and the others in this building are currently looking through their records for the two men you mentioned previously. He apologizes and says that this place isn't as organized as the Registry, the place we were just as. This could take some time. We're welcome to relax here or leave and come back, depending on what you want."

Alth bows and says, "Thank you for your time. Is there any books I can read about the land and its legands. If you could tell me where to find a good library and wizards guild, I would be extremely grateful. Especially someone whom knows much about this land."

OOC: My goal is to find information about legands, creatures, ancient weapons, and myths about this land while we wait. Also, while we figure out where to go next. Although, the information is mostly so I can think about possible rare artifacts or weapons to get...it might still help us know more about the land.

The man speaks with Vita for a moment who then turns back to you two. "He says there is a guild called the Piran Sedestadel which is the closest thing you seem to be looking for, but unfortunately, it apparently is a guild designed for Ghost casters, so you will not have much, if any, luck dealing with them.

"He says there is no public library for people to visit, though occasionally, old books and tomes of lore can be found in various stores. If you want to learn information dealing with legends and whatnot, the best place to go would be the Tower Theatre. Although most of their shows are just that, many are stories detailing past events within and without Manifest.

"I don't think he knows much about what goes on outside of this building though," Vita adds, her own words, "But he did give me directions to the Tower Theatre if you desire to go there."

 

[Aereas]

Listening to the exchange I'm tempted to ask how long it might take, but given thier annoyance its not likely I'll get a favorable answer. As such I just turn to Vita saying "Once again your linguistic skills are proving to be a far greater boon than I ever could have imagined them to be. If you would be so kind would you please ask them where a information broker or map of the city could be found. Preferably with places of note included, but if not I shall try and make do as its unlikely I'd be able to read the names anyway."

 

[Dog Moon]

Vita speaks with the man for a few more seconds before returning to you. "There is no map set up anywhere for the people to see, but there is a small organization designed to both show people around the city, guides, and also is a courier service. The organization is called the 'Traveling Dead Services Guild.' It's just down the street."

 

[Aereas]

Looking visibly displeased about the lack of a map I turn to Alth and say "We seem to have varying goals in mind for how to spend our time waiting. As such I suggest we split up and meet back infront of the Hall of Farewell in 2 days time. For now I am going to check this guide service out and get an idea of the layout of the city."

Geting a different idea I turn to Vita and then ask her "Would you please ask the gentleman where a decent inn in this town is at?"

 

[Dog Moon]

Their exchange is brief and when Vita turns back to you, she says, "To answer that, he wonders what sort of quality you are looking for in an inn because there are numerous inns within Manifest."

 

[Aereas]

"Ah yes, of course. I am looking for a decent inn with fair accomidations. It doesn't have to be top notch but I would like a clean and comfortable bed to sleep on. The meal isn't as important but I would certainly desire to taste the food I eat."

 

[Dog Moon]

"Okay," Vita says after a moment, "He recommends the Weary Pilgrim. It's located just inside the Merchant Ward. It's pretty easy to get to."
