Chapter 15 summary
For a while, Magnamund seemed as if the light of Good was illuminating it with a renewed power, but the servants of Naar made sure that it wasn’t going to be an easy win. Many of them emerged from the shadows and are now threatening the fragile balance of the planet.
The Vakeros Knight turned wolf creature Beowuuf continued his undercover mission in the Darklands. Unfortunately, in the ransacked temple at Point Vashna, it was the Death Knight Dark Walker who received clues to the mineral Urga-kor-Naar, the 'footfall of Naar' - the Drakkar told to 'go to Maaken'.
Beowuuf overheard and realized the knight needed to be stopped, but an altercation with the Death Knight leader Karlnos provided Dark Walker with the opportunity to escape this and the troop - slaying many of the Giaks and blinding a fellow knight Crimson Blade. Karlnos only survived the treacherous stab that started the escape by the fast actions of the Death Knight Toraar, a 'coward to pain' who Beowuuf realized had a connection to Karlnos.
The remaining troop chased Dark Walker, seeking steeds in Argazad and finding a slight delay near Kaag when an Advanced Vordak, one whose body was invulnerable as long as two hosts possessed its mind and Vordak Gem, tried unsuccessfully to take their mounts.
Meanwhile Kollosco, the ex-ship's captain who betrayed Beowuuf and was a self-confessed Brother of the Descending Night, had started piecing together what was happening to Beowuuf. Kollosco intercepted Beowuuf in Argazad, but the uneasy truce did not last long as the man left to pursue what he knew before the troop had got near Kaag.
The luck of Beowuuf finally turned outside the Darklands, when he was captured over the reclaimed lands on his way to Maaken. Toraar was slain by an arrow and Karlnos' Zlanbeast was shot down. The remaining Giaks were similarly slaughtered leaving only the blinded Crimson Blade and Beowuuf as captives of a dwarf company. It turned out that this company was lead by none other than a disguised Prince Torfan, the son of King Ryvin and next King of Bor.
Beowuuf was then further sent into a spin when he discovered that he was, in fact, not the Vakeros Knight Tamas Rehme - for the man, and Lord Gralmis his mentor, were both still very much alive and had returned from the Darklands.
Meanwhile, Master Andras, the high councilor of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star who gave Beowuuf his mission yet does not remember, welcomed the remainder of Kollosco's betrayed crew home, including the new captain Duman. Andras had been unsuccessful in finding clues to the Urga-Kor-Naar. He was further concerned at learning of Kollosco's betrayal, for it turned out the two had been lifelong friends and Kollosco himself had told Andras of the existence of the Brotherhood of the Descending Night.
Master Andras finally discovered something to answer the mystery of why he had sent Beowuuf into the Darklands without remembering it. Unfortunately, that discovery happened behind closed doors with his advisors Childers and Bulanis - and those three were now acting strangely and were keeping the secret they had discovered even from the Guildmaster himself.
In Kuchek, having received some mysterious intelligence regarding documents that could in some way compromise Durenor or Durenese assets, Simey and Armadalus left the city in search of more information. Whether by coincidence or design, this led them to accompany a group known as the Order of the Yellow Robe as they ventured into the living nightmare that had formally been the city of Eshnar in an attempt to thwart the source of the evil there.
In Southern Magnamund, the Amazon Aguila Saber was sent away from Telchos by order of the Council of Thirty for mysterious reasons. The first leg of her journey was taking her to Westhaven in Lencia aboard the Lencian trading ship The Condor.
However, a few days out from Telchos, the ship encountered a strange creature called the Sea Maiden who lures sailors to jump overboard to their doom as well as being capable of powerful psychic attacks.
Aided by Aguila, who was the focus of the Sea Maiden's attacks, Staro, the first mate, managed to slay the evil creature. For her help, Aguila received two items which that had been found where the Sea Maiden had been stained: a red ring (which Aquila kept sealed into a bottle) and a small cittern which, judging by its design and inscriptions on it is of Telco origin. Aquila learned that the music played by the Sea Maiden was very similar to her own music.
The ship made a stop in Quill. During her stay there, Aquila stopped a pick-pocket attempt on her escort Marco made by a rogue called Bolo the Swift. It ended with Bolo the Swift being led away by the guards.
Unfortunately, Bolo the Swift was not a man to cross. The next day, he tried to kill Aquila when she left the house she stayed during the night. Bolo did no better this time and was quickly defeated and caught by Aquila.
The attack had been seen by an artist called Tinto Escalon who suggested to Aquila that she took Bolo to his house, which she agreed to do. However, Tinto wanted in fact to paint Aquila’s picture, but didn't said it so.
Aquila found out much sensitive information about Bolo and particularly about the shady guild to which he belonged. While Bolo was questioned, he tried to kill Aquila and Tinto with a poison tablet but fell prey to its effects himself.
Tint’s father Leonardo returned home after having been fetched by a worried servant. Tinto and Leonardo made a number of paintings of Aquila. In the evening, there was a meeting with the family which also included Tint’s sister, Tina. They discussed many things as well as a plan to eliminate Bolo's guild.
The next morning, the militia attacked the guild. Most of the members prefered to kill themselves rather than being taken captive. It was estimated that roughly two thirds of the guild had been taken out in the attack. Meanwhile, assassins visited the Escalon estate and killed two guards before they were discovered outside Tinto's room and escaped.
Leonardo compensated Aguila for her help and offered her two noteworthy items. The first was a painting of herself made by Tinto and set in a valuable frame that beared the Escalon family mark. The second was an engraved silver chalice which was offered by a dwarf from Boden called Elrin in return for a portrait that Leonard painted for him.
Aguila and Tinto were smuggled out to The Condor and shared the journey together to Westhaven in Lencia.
Back in Sommerlund, Kai Master Wild Horse reached the city of Toran and presented himself at the Castle of the Fleets.
Taking some time to understand the workings of the Kai Fleet and the life of the crewmen, Wild Horse wrote a report to Ghost Bear, the Kai Lieutenant of the Order. He proposed some policy changes and ideas for the improvement of the Kai Fleet, notably easing the way for interested Kai Lords to sail the seas as part of their Kai Training. To his surprise, in reply, he found himself rewarded with a promotion to the rank of Grand Master, and given the Kai Weapon Illuminatus.
After the ecstasy of that raise, Wild Horse continued with the naval training exercises. However, the news about two new ships being built in Anskaven prompted him to undertake a short voyage across to the northern city to check on its progress abroad the Emerald Defender, supported by the Crystal Forge.
A letter was send back to Dharn's hometown from his auntie Fanny with news about Dharn. Apparently, he and Hazelae are now taking odd jobs to make ends met. As they worked together, they each learn more and more about each other.
The newly knighted Vakeros, Ninja Flick, along with his commanding officer Knight-Captain Doran, journeyed from Dessi to Kakush in pursuit of the disappeared villagers of the small mountain town of Parma. On their way to the capital city of Nikesa, they were informed that there was internal strife between the Emir of Kakush and his brother, Vartan. Upon arriving in Nikesa, the two Vakeros discovered that the people they were looking for were Vassagonians that have been traveling with Vartan’s company.
Flick and Doran sneaked into Vartan’s camp, located outside of the city’s walls. While searching for the Vassagonians, they discovered that Vartan was in league with the kidnappers of Parma’s inhabitants, and was also in on the attack on Flick’s company. They overheard a conversation between the Vassagonians and Vartan, during which it was revealed that the Vassagonians were trying to create their own race of Giaks. They were to be a cheap source of soldiers for Vartan to unseat Emir Lobar, as well as for the Vassagonians to use in an invasion of Dessi. The Vassagonians were hoping to get their hands on a Vakeros or a Kai in order to make the soldiers more powerful.
Sadly for Flick and Doran, they were discovered before they could kill Vartan and put an end to his plan. They tried to fight their way to an ancient airship that was in Vartan’s possession, and supposedly contained the missing villagers, but during the desperate battle the Vassagonians reached it first. Knight-Captain Doran ordered Flick to return to Elzian with the news of what happened, and he spellstepped onto the airship as it flew away. Flick quickly made his escape from the encampment and traveled back to Dessi.
After his return to Dessi, Flick learned that Captain Doran had recommended him for a specially accelerated program, and that he was to be given the provisional title of Knight-Captain. He was told this by Knight-Commander Oswalt, who had gone through the same program twelve years earlier. He was to be prepared for a mission into Vassagonia in search of Captain Doran, and was also charged with finding a way to stop the Vassagonian’s plan.
Flick was finally given a Blue Steel Sword, which was Doran’s first sword and was an heirloom of his family.
Things weren’t looking good in Helgedad. The Drakkarim known as Wyrmslayer became a legend among the creatures of the city for the role he played during the recent civil war. However, now that he was in charge of the reconstruction of the Black City, Wyrmslayer learned that the supplies he needed to rebuild Helgedad were starting to get rare. Less and less minerals arrived in the city, which made the Drakkarim mad.
Deep under the city, Storm-Helm was exploring some type of catacombs, trying to find the source of the powerful Black Magic that was shooting green lightning across the area. Finally, the Drakkarim arrived at a place with strange hooded figures standing around a dragon-like beast. However, his presence was noticed and Storm-Helm was captured. It was at that moment that he discovered that Gartuk, who was following him, was in fact a Helghast in disguise. The dragon (a Nadziranim for sure) wanted to use Storm-Helm as a sacrifice to whatever he planned to summon from the Shadow Gate that was nearby. Luckily for the Drakkarim, he was able to set himself free and, just he was doing so, a group of soldiers appeared and attacked the cultists, cutting short the ceremony.
At the Sea Castle, on the Rhorgal Island located just outside Anskaven, Black Cat met Baron Cila, Ambassador of Eldenora in Sommerlund, during a supper the night before the actual ball that Lord Aldius had invited them to. Cila took the occasion to tell the Grand Master of the Order that he had documents of very high importance that he wanted him to hide. The Ambassador believed that, within the Sea Castle, some people were trying to get the envelop containing the documents before it reached the authorities of Sommerlund. Black Cat accepted to hide the documents in his bedroom until he could find a way to give them to Lord Valkom, the uncle of Aldius and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
The next day, the day of the ball, Aldius asked Black Cat in his office and tried to make him spill the beans about the documents, saying that they were in fact part of a conspiracy against the King. Black Cat lied to Aldius, believing that he was probably the man trying to get the documents back that Cila warned him about the night before.
During the ball however, while Black Cat was talking to Lord Valkom's daughter, Kina, who was also the fiancée of Lord Aldius, the guards of the Treasurer of Sommerlund interrupted them to bring the Kai back in front of Aldius. There, Black Cat discovered that he had been had and that Cila had lied to him; Aldius had been saying the truth all that time. According to Aldius, the documents were indeed plans for an unknown organization of rebels, the Freedom Brothers, to assassinate the King. Even worst for Black Cat, Cila himself tried to make Aldius believed that Black Cat was the leader of the Freedom Brothers in charge of the assassination.
In front of these facts, Aldius decided to send both Black Cat and Cila to jail while waiting for a trial. However, Cila committed suicide before he could be brought in his cell. Now, only Black Cat is left with charges of conspiring against the King, and the only man who could have saved him by saying the truth was dead.
In other news, after achieving the rank of Kai Master, Wise Fox was sent to Eshnar by his superiors of the Monastery. In this mission, he would have to join a group of creatures led by a Sage of Lyris who happened to be a Cat creature named Zipp. The consequences of this expedition are still unknown.
A little bit further to the South, in Holmgard, the Kai Lord known as Star Dragon came back home after being missing in action for quite a while. He was transformed, looking more like a pirate than a Kai. He went to the Monastery and secretly went to get some mysterious documents from the library without anybody noticing his presence. The said documents were the diary of a forgotten Kai Master. A passage talking about Kalte attracted Sky Dragon’s attention. A few days later, he set sail in that direction on his new ship. He was going to Ikaya.
Kehl Loeman, aka NightHunter, was given the task of officially becoming the chairman of the Magnamund Knights' Council he had helped secure. His task was to form an official sitting council with staff to solidify what had been a nebulous organization of the Vakeros, Sommlending and Duranese knighthoods until now.
What lies in the shadows for all these characters? Will Flick find a way to stop the Vassagonians? What is the mission of Aguila? What is the Order of the Yellow Robes that Simey and Armadeleus are helping? Does Urga-kor-Naar really mean “The Footfall of Naar” and not “The football of Naar”? Is the story of Aguila and Tinto on the Condor not a Magnamundian version of the Titanic? Will Black Cat be able to return to the ball and show all his dancing moves to impress the girls? Chapter 16 of the West Watch will start right now.
