Brief Backstory

The sun shone bright on the day I was born. It's hard to put into words what I experienced that day, as the word-forms for the things I saw and touched had not yet formed in my mouth, nor even truly the concept that my body was something I could use that way. My Obsiblings welcomed my confused, quaking form to our Liferock and suddenly, understanding flooded into me.

Understanding and...curiosity. Deep within the rich veins of the Liferock were the memories, the thoughts, the souls, and the Patterns of Obsiblings who have not seen the light of day in eons. Yet also was the memory of death, of grief, of the loss of those who did not return, and the other Races who did not enjoy endless Dreaming in Liferocks. What truly happened to these? Where did they go?

And thus began my quest to study the border between life and death. My travels as a Nethermancer brought me to the Kingdom of Throal and its Great Library and, alas, a slumber of my own as a waited out the Scourge far from home. The sun shines again on the world and now is my chance to see what Death hath wrought.

I have reawakened thanks to the efforts of the Guild of Nethermancers and Alchemists, and they are excited that the Scourge is over. I confess, I had few dreams during my centuries-long slumber, but over such a span, perhaps more would have been disturbing of my sanity. One of my hosts is excited by the Kaer's opening and is funding an expedition to collect items of alchemical interest, the supplies of which had long since been exhaused, and the fauna from which were far too dangerous to be kept underground for such a long time.

We met up with genherds, those fools or heroes who have moved to the surface to tend the animals chewing the green grass that blooms under an unpeopled sun. My compatriots are all newborns compared to me, they gawk in awe at the ceilingless sky, they shiver at the slightest breeze, and fear the calls of the animals at night. The genherds lead us to a glen where the flock was last seen, and sure enough, the little monsters are active. Some are chased away or have wandered in search of easier prey. Others were defeated by Zil's clever use of the Icy Surface spell, tripping up their ravenous rushes with slips and falls. We gathered their birthing cauls, sacks of nigh-impenetrable interstitium, and traveled on. We had no need of killing these tiny, hungry babies, just disabling them long enough to collect. Bite on, fierce creatures.

At the edges of the jungle now called Servos - simultaneously a shadow and a rennaisance, more like new growth from a parent forest than the one I knew before the Scourge, lay abandoned mines, believed to be home to some Horrorspawn known as Jehuthra. Now, Jehuthra are known as terrifying monsters liable to kill stout Journeyone Adepts, so I was skeptical that we would even survive this encounter, but our host assured me that they had a line on some hatchlings that would be of extreme alchemical interest, and so we sought out the carapaces of monsters that would surely kill others if we did not our own lives risk.

The largest of the Jehuthras within had come into some of its power and summoned a web of metal wires, sharp and catching on any who hurried past them. The cries of pain, surprise, and rage of my allies came to my ears from places unseen, and I hoped that I could rescue them before they were silenced. I was not alone, however. Another hatchling came for me and another who was caught beside me and gnashed at us with is fangs, scissored at us with its talons, and scurried away when we wounded it. Slowly, we were able to make our way to the others and rescue them. All Jehuthras slain, our patron pronouced the mission a success, and assured us that more hunts were forthcoming. That bodes well for my purse, but not for those living on the surface.

The surface dwellers have already started encountering problems. A group of hunters claim they were attacked by Cadaver Men that had weathered the Scourge on the surface (or perhaps were the result of the initial failed actions by His Majesty's Royal Exploratory Force). Not all of the hunters returned, so now the ranks of the Cadaver Men have grown. An enemy that gains its fallen foes as footsoldiers is a fearsome foe, forsooth.

Following the same game trail as the hunters were some bears. William told us to attack the cubs first, that that would frighten away their Alpha, but that did not seem to work. Bears are not our enemies so we did not fight to kill, just to survive. The Beastmaster tried to make friends with the Alpha, but did not succeed. A youngling would have been easier.

We found the corpses of the hunters still walking. What intelligence had once lived within them was gone. I had borne little hope that they had knowledge of their time of death, but the world is a strange place and one must always be open to new ideas. Witnessing their Frenzy firsthand was disturbing, but we were able to keep them largely at bay, and put them down, never to trouble the living again. That was when the Wizard began to scream.

A mindslug had been attracted to Dubhan's intellect and was attempting to subvert their flesh. Zil was a faster physician than I, however, and was able to get to the slug before irreparable harm had come to Dubhan. One must be prepared for anything on the surface, including fast action.

So many are seeking to leave Throal. I wonder sometimes why they are so eager to risk death. Then again, why am I? A tribe of Windlings known as Skyreaders sought the perfect nesting site out of doors. Naturally, their wants were contradictory - near water but not flooded. With trees but no jungles. Free of danger but full of adventure. On the surface, but free of Horrors.

Their leader hired us to face the dangers of the surface and clear any unexpected problems for them. We made camp first in a pre-Scourge trading post that had weathered quite well. I was surprised no one had resettled it, although the colony of Krilworms that lived there might be an indication why. They tried to scare us off, but we proved scarier.

Further on we traveled. We saw an entire forest perambulating westward. To the best of our ability, it was perfectly natural, though highly bizarre. Though I am no Elementalist, I lament that we did not have time to give it a closer investigation and see what possible phenomenon could have caused it.

We began to explore another location, but just as I pointed out how it was unsuitable for windling habitation - being a boggy marsh full of shallow water, some monstrous figures of living mud rose out and attacked us. They began to glom onto us, desiring to weigh us down and no doubt transmogriphy us into mud. Luckily I had my touch spell activated and I tore their Spirits asunder. My rock-cousin was likewise outnumbered but likewise shrugged off their attacks.

At last we arrived at a pleasant beach overlooking some equally pleasant-looking islands. The windlings scouted the island and confirmed it an ideal location for them, including having the added security of a moat. There was, however, a termite mound of massive proportions, with termites of equally massive proportions living within, that we needed to clear out before they could settle it. We fashioned a crude raft to ferry us across. The termites were no threat to us and we squashed them like bugs. A pity the Windlings could not find a way to share the island with them, it seemed like a waste of life to me. And so the despoiling of the land by my fellow Namegivers has begun in earnest.

Speaking of despoiling, a belligerent T'Skrang soon landed on the island and demanded we leave. Having no flag, and with an arrow in his tail, he agreed to retreat. Has war come to Barsaive so soon?
