[QUOTE="Vymair, post: 661229, member: 116"] [b]Nim, son of Domil[/b] Nim was drunk, not that this was unusual, and he continued to drink heavily on his journey down from Kizan-Zigun. After the first few days, the daylight was not so penetrating, but the emptiness of the sky still seemed so wrong, he shuddered as he looked up and quickly looked down after taking another long drink from his flask. Through his stupor, he tried to remember the last instruction given to him by Khalad, the Patriarch of Kizan-Zigun. Now he remembered, he was to deliver the note to Gibud, the ambassador to New Eyre and Gibud would have further instructions for him. He arrived in New Eyre a few days later. He was appalled at the conditions of the houses and the squalor these men lived in, but then he noticed a huge stone edifice being built near the center of town. The craftsmanship was masterful and as he approached the site, it pleased him to see a dwarf overseeing the process. “Lad, what goes on here?” as he stopped a young man in the street. “Construction of the Temple of the Lord” replied the young man. “What about your homes?” Just then a priest overhead them and stepped over to the dwarf. “I don’t think you understand. We will build ourselves proper homes when we have time but we owe everything to the Lord, it wouldn’t be proper to build our homes before we build his. Thanks to your people and their assistance, we will be able to build him a Temple which will honor him and all he has done for us.” Nim looked back to the guardsman and asked for directions to the dwarven enclave and went down the street in the direction indicated. As he approached he saw fishermen returning from the journeys into the see. Nim had never seen the sea before and its chaotic nature disturbed him. He watched with interest, as the fish were unloaded from the ships. He headed into the enclave and was greeted warmly by the guards at the gate for they saw few of their own kind here. He was let in and was ushered into to see Gibud, the dwarven ambassador to the people of Eyre. “How can I help you Nim?” as he looked questioningly at Nim. “Here” Nim handed over the letter explaining his purpose here and excused himself to allow Gibud time to read and think. When the morning came, Nim found himself in Gibud’s office. “I have considered your purpose here and have a mission for you.” [/QUOTE]
