It was early morning and I had just finished eating breakfast, and was laying in my Hammock watching the clouds float on over head. Then above me swirled a hawk that made its way down and perched itself right next to me on the tree branch. I could see the foot of the hawk was holding a message. grabbing it and giving the hawk a nice pat on the head before it promptly flew off, I proceeded to read the contents of the letter. a seal of the Throalic Aeronautic club bond it and I already knew who it was from, the only person at the Aero club that knows me is my Twin sister Alaya Wolf-Swift. However very fitting for her to send a messenger hawk instead of come herself, she hasn't left Throal even after the gates opened. The note said to meet her at her work and bring a couple adventurers because she had a job for me. Never needed a reason to visit my only sister but a job is a pretty good one. I sent a message to Reyis, Darious, and Langren asking them for their aid on this job.
Once reaching Throal and finding my way to the Aero Club I found my fellow adventurers and friends standing and conversing outside the club. Entering inside the club I couldn't help but always look up, the ceiling of the main entrance lobby is made to look like a realistic sky. My father would always bring me here as a child, I wanted so bad when I grew up to work at the Aero club and be a director. However my sister would actually be the one that qualified for the group. I guess I am not cut out for the desk sailors. My sister notices us and comes to give me a hug asking me how I have been and introducing herself to the rest of the group. She shows us into her office and starts to inform us on the job. Rumors of a settlement that is built in a pre-scourge Theran airship that crashed 400 years ago. Her hope is to negotiate with the people that live there for a trade deal so the Aero club might acquire some Air ship parts and material. I told her it was a done deal and we headed off.
A day on the road and we ran into a group of some lowly bandits, I feel like not only in fact but in fiction they were just a foot note on this journal. after travelling the rest of the way to the area at coordinates 42.06 we found the place Alaya told us about. A very large theran Air Galley had crashed in a valley. inside of the hull of the ship through parts were it had been broken, you could see that there was building inside it and smoke from chimneys coming through parts of the ship hull. I was taken back for a moment upon coming over the hills to see this, never in my whole life had I seen an Air ship; stories maybe from my father before he passed two years ago but never something like this. Given it was crashed and on top of that 400 years old but it was a marvelous sight. surrounding the ship was small farms with live stock and crops. entering through what must have been then gate of the town we found a very lived in community that had a townhouse, markets, housing, temple to Chorrolis, and most important to me was the Tavern.
After many days on the road I had one thing on my mind, a hot meal, some cold wine, and a warm bed. Chatting with the Tavern keep he informed us that the city was named Fernsworth, upon asking about the Airship that housed the city he told me it was named Arcadia and if I came at it from the otherside I would read that on the ship nameplate. They however choose to call the city Fernsworth to distance themselves from Thera, seeing how Fernsworth is a multi-racial community that swings more to humans but is not exclusive. It was founded by some settlers that thought it was a good defensive spot. I asked him about who was in charge around Fernsworth and he directed me to the Town house across the street and told me to ask about a women named Cynthia who is considered the mayor. Knocking on the door a servant girl answered and directed us to a room in which the human women was waiting. she asked us our business and after I explained what I was there for she was happy to hear about a trade deal coming from Throal. But to show her our good faith she asked of us a favor before she heads back to Throal for the negotiations. The farmers of Fernsworth are being harassed by local bandits and they are stealing cattle and live stock in the night. She gave us a letter of to give to the farmer Ormid a troll, informing him of who we are.
Arriving at the farm we were greeted by Ormid warmly and he informed us of the direction the bandits always come from. We camped out and set up an ambush for the raiders, once they arrived we beat them good, and no one was majorly hurt. going back to the town house we meet with the mayor and informed her of what we did. the next day we headed out back to Throal and I introduced Cynthia to my sister Alaya at the Throalic Aero club and left them two to make an arrangement that works for them two.
Afterwards I went to my favorite Bar "The Pale T'Skrang" and drank myself into a stupor because I deserve it for such a good job done. Hope to go back to Fernsworth and see the Arcadia again some day. Statistics:Posted by Icarus-Wolfswift — Sat May 30, 2020 3:43 am
