[QUOTE="Rastfar, post: 3652142, member: 9596"] 7 Ter, 637 M.Y Without all of the distraction and hullabaloo I have been able to clearly begin thinking more about Vanthus Vanderboren and his connection to a plot against the Wetherwax fleet. What work would need be begun only after crippling the RMN? The parallels are entirely too intentional to ignore. The indistinguishable figure who met with Vanthus in [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Azure]Azure[/url] could be any of the three whom I had overheard during this [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Holiday+-+Festival+of+Isis]Festival of Isis[/url] past. Or one of their agents? This connection alone, would lead me to believe that perhaps Vanthus is an unwilling pawn in their game. For while the Devenpecks alone do not wield immutable power, the suggestion of involvement by the Vandermok’s and those who serve [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Set]the god of power[/url] is enough to hold sway over Vanthus, his parents or the [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Vanderboren+Mercantile+Nexus]Vanderboren Mercantile Nexus[/url]. But what advantage could Vanthus be hoping to gain? Vanderboren, Vandermok, is there a possibility that the families are indeed related, a genealogical offshoot, or is it merely coincidence? So the correlation would stand. Markos has taken to calling the religious relics of Vanthus’ pursuit, [I]Pearls of Power[/I]. Malcolm the Bronze declared that this is a misnomer as the [I]Pearls of Power [/I] that he knows of are divine items, holy to [url=http://aquerra.wikispaces.com/Tefnut]Tefnut[/url], but allowed for those dedicated to other gods as well. They are used to enhance the castings of priestly spells, presumably to whichever god they are in service to. Malcolm assures me that the two are distinctly different, not one in the same. Only that this is a ‘pearl’ of some power. Yet I must allow for the facts presented before me. This pearl was of some power, was sought after by religious fanatics, be they bullywugs, and so was possibly dedicated to whatever fish-mouthed god they sacrifice rats to. Assuming that the pearl we came into contact with, its purposeful intention was certainly not to be smashed. Vanthus’ blood caused the transformation. I must assume that this was an unwelcome side effect I shall remember to give the young mage clarification so he does not labour to research them wrongly. [/QUOTE]
