The first is Saala, who is both fascinated and perturbed to hear what they have experienced and discovered. Nameless asks her whether she has any information about creating more dimensional seals. Unfortunately, she confirms what he already suspected, that whatever methods the ancient Gatekeepers once used have been lost over the intervening millennia. At times, some of the best artificers in Khorvaire have tried to study and replicate them and failed. Saala says that Thlie has confirmed that, to the best of her knowledge, some of the dragons do know how to construct them. With the impending return of Xoriat, Saala suggests that if the Angels have the time after traveling into the Mournland, they could contact the dragons of Argonessen in this regard. Of course, whether the dragons will care at all or extend any aid is another matter. Vvaarak did, but she was exceedingly rare among her kind. Nameless also checks regarding dimensional seals in Cyre, to try and work out which one the Angels need to find. Salla says that she knows of only four dimensional seals within it, since the area which later became Cyre was one that was much less affected during the daelkyr invasion. Interestingly, none of them are really close to the spot where Nameless emerged. The southern entry point to the expedition, which Corven wants the Angels to be involved with, should put the group in the same general range from all of them as most other entry points. She also notes that none of the dimensional seals are anywhere near Metrol, the ruined capital of Cyre. Which is interesting, since tales from survivors claim that the Day of Mourning began with a giant explosion there, followed by the emergence of the Dead-Gray Mist. Of course, Nameless’ experiences indicate a different source.Saala is unable to provide any particular way to home in on a dimensional seal and the only detectable magical effect that she can provide is the one Nameless knows of, namely that the seals replicate the effects of a dimensional lock in a radius of about two miles. Six asks if it would be possible to detect it while flying above the Mournland, but Saala has no idea about that. Nameless theorizes that it wouldn’t be the case, since the Dead-Gray mist is known to block any and all magical effects extending into it from outside.Lastly, Saala says that she is sending messengers to the Eldeen Reaches, now that the Angels have confirmed the existence of the seed and its effect on the manifest zone. While the Gatekeepers have only a small presence in the Reaches, they are friendly with the Wardens of the Wood, the largest and most powerful druidic sect. “Oalian will want to know of this,” says Saala, “And I’m sure he will aid us. Hopefully I will have news about that when you return from the Mournland.”After having met with Saala, the Angels head back to Sharn. Except for Luna, who leaves for their house in Karrnath. At the Gray House, Fett confirms what Balan already told them, and also mentions the names of three people who he believes are interested in purchasing the house. Six asks him to check on any privateers who would be willing to fly their airship above the Mournland. Fett says that he’ll do so, since there are a couple who fly from Sharn to Xen’drik and to other dangerous locations, but warns that if any of them are willing to fly over the Mournland (which is unlikely), they will charge a hefty sum.The group then visits Trillia, to fill her in on matters. Nameless invites her back to the cavern and ziggurat and she quickly accepts. The Angels and she teleport back to the entrance to the tunnels and travel back to the cavern and ziggurat. Trillia is utterly fascinated, but when Nameless suggests that she might want to spend some time living there or in the manifest zone, she very quickly declines. “I’m very interested in studying the creations and magic of the daelkyr,” Trillia explains, “But being warped by them is definitely not on my agenda.”Before leaving with her, the Angels seal off the cavern as best they can, using wall of stone and stone shape, and Nameless puts a greater sign of sealing on the ziggurat door. Then he teleports them back to Sharn, where they drop Trillia off and then go meet Cedric. After filling him in on recent events and discoveries, Gareth mentions that he is going to Flamekeep the next day to meet Jaela Daran and speak to her about the coming of Xoriat, and they need directions so that Nameless can transport them there. “All right,” says Cedric, “But I’m only telling you how to get to a place near the entrance to the Cathedral. There’s no reason for you to appear inside and scare the hell out of someone.” He proceeds to provide a detailed description of the location and then says, “I know you guys think you’re hot sh*t, and you’ve got some basis for it, but you behave yourselves while you’re there and be respectful and polite to Jaela, okay? Especially you, Gareth. Don’t be cocky and do any of that ‘I am the Champion of the Silver Flame crap!’ I don’t want you giving Jaela a hard time. She’s a nice kid doing a horrible job, and if you give her any trouble, Flame help me, I will kick your ass!”Gareth looks at him in fascination. “Does she know that you call her a ‘nice kid’ and think being the Keeper of the Flame is a ‘horrible job’?”“Of course. But ask her if you want. And tell her Cedric says, ‘Hey!’”Gareth puts a hand over his face. “Yes. That will certainly be on my list of things to tell the Keeper.”</blockquote>
