However, there is a potential for a bit more action here if its discovered that the infamous circle of the phoenix has gathered in a tiny village in the south of Maelwysrin...not the kind of attention that a small village wants, to be certain.  The academy would provide another very interesting role playing opportunity, and perhaps shed some light on Justice's past...but also may be dangerous.  Though not any more beholden to the king than any other school, the academy is no stranger to the ties that bind.  Expect some court intrigue, assassins, betrayal, and perhaps some new allies if you continue here.  If, from here, you can make it to the nearby mountains, up to the old temple grounds, and deep into the bowels of the Prophet's Mountain, you too may speak to the Stone Oracle, and learn what Fate has in store for you.  But, be warned.  The Oracle is legendary for being fickle, and you may not be the only ones wishing for a glimpse at tomorrow....     Should you choose the isle of mourning, expect dangerous treks through strange wilderness, harried by creatures unlike any you've ever seen.  This is a land twisted by millenia of evil, inhabited by things that might once have been servants of the Light.  There will be traps, ancient ruins, and perhaps a forgotten tomb or two.  And, of course, the confrontation with the ancient, horrifying evil that makes men (and women) monsters, and monsters disturbingly like men (and women). Expect pursuit even here, as the enemy also desires the secrets of the island, and the treasures it holds... Remember, these are just guesses at the moment, subject to change at my whim or whimsy...</blockquote>
