Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 3329688" data-attributes="member: 7006">The twelve planes of existance have been written about many times by many scholars.  The Library at Korrenberg is filled with information about them all, and if Khalia was there, she'd have a wealth of information to draw from.  However, she's not in Zilargo... she's in a temple dedicated to the Silver Flame in Q'Barra.  So her choices of research are nowhere near as extensive.That being said however... apparently the Q'Barran people in Newthrone (and the worshippers of the Flame in particular) have had a reason to keep accurate records and research.  Because there is one plane in particular with an abundance of papers written about it.Lamannia, the Twilight Forest.It seems as though the jungles north of Newthrone hold within them a fairly large Manifest Zone connected to the Twighlight Forest.  Which means that that particular area of the jungle is more lush, more vibrant, and more active with plant and animal life than most other places.  And when Lamannia becomes Coterminous with Eberron (for a period of one week every year)?  That's when things REALLY go crazy!  Khalia begins cross-referencing large crusades against the lycans with the dates throughout the year when Lamannia would move closer to the prime plane, and definitely can see a connection.  When she checks the dates of this latest sighting... wouldn't you know it?  The three weeks of people saying they've seen werebeasts are the three weeks right around when Lamannia becomes Coterminous.  [Knowledge The Planes: TN 25 / 18+11=30 *success* / 5 points x 3 = 15 points / Total Points gained 31]Khalia lays her books aside and gets up to walk around a bit.  She sees that it is almost dusk outside.  She begins cleaning things up and goes over what she's gleaned in her head.- The Q'Barran jungles are filled with ancient temple ruins from the Age of Demons- These ruins are prisons that keep many of Khyber's Children locked away- These ruins are usually guarded by wards, spells, or living guardians- If Captain Erqua is any indication, the Cults of the Dragon Below are trying to open them- There is a Lamannia Manifest Zone in the center of the jungle east of the river- The ruins found there are covered almost completely with vegetation- Those ruins have not been mapped to any real extent- The Manifest Zone might be an indication that these lycanthrope sightings are trueThe big question though is... how do the werecreatures and the aberrations locked away in these ruins interact with one another?  Is one controlling the other?  Are they fighting on opposite sides of an upcoming battle?  Are these lycanthropes here for a good reason, or for an ill?  And what is going on within the ruins buried underneath the jungle vegetation?These questions won't be able to be answered until the excusion actually heads north and starts dealing with these events directly.  For now... Khalia needs her rest.  The crusade moves out in the morning.**********OOC:  Total points gained 31 divided by 3 = 1010 Action Points are now available as a pool of points for this upcoming crusade that anyone within the crusade (PC or NPC) may use as needed.  These are in addition to the normal allotment of APs each character already has.</blockquote>
