[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2823623, member: 9255"] EBERRON: THE CREATION SCHEMA 02/04/06 SEGMENT 189 “The Dark Lanterns” The woman wore black leather with crimson highlights. She moved about slowly and invisibly within the market. She listened to everything the sailors and traders had to say. She was here to learn about threats –threats to the crown and his people. She has gone by many names in the past. Currently she was known as Nadia. Nadia of the Dark Lanterns. There were many ways to enter the city. Electric Rail, Air ship, on foot or by ship. Today she was investigating the shipping lanes. There were rumors of unrest with certain shipping groups. To be specific- the elves of Aerena. She heard and listened to hushed rumors of an elven assassin here to kill a noble. She also heard about rumors of a warforged killer being on the lose. Even another rumor that the Sahuagin had new pet to threaten the trade lanes to Xen’drik. A Dragon Turtle! All these she placed in her memory to look into at another time. Two possible pirates and a shipyard tradesman were discussing the subject she sought. The subject- the sudden rarity of Soarwood. Soarwood was a near magical wood found only on the island of elves. This wood was incredibly light yet strong. It was used with the best of shipping boats and also with airships. Reports had it that the elves were cutting and shipping larger than normal amounts of the resource yet the prices were slowly rising due to greater demand for it. Then three weeks ago shipping ended to Breland. There were even reports of pirate activity. Their target- Soarwood shipments. Were the reports incorrect? If not- then where is the Soarwood going? Using her powers of the mind, she gently probed the one sailor. He knew little but then the other man seemed to know something. Something he felt his life would be at jeopardy if he told anyone. The name of an island. Juno. Two months later, Nadia discovers the location of Juno. It is a small island of the coast of Zilargo. The Dark Lanterns decide to send in an agent to investigate. What he discovers alarms Viorr Maelak, the head of Breland’s national security team. [/QUOTE]
