[Please note that this RP is only beginning and will take place over the course of several months. People's speculations, info uncovered/solved, and rumors will appear here as they get added.]
As Sheneer was sitting in the plaza looking for loose change, someone dropped a small note in his bowl and dashed away. The message simply states, "Aldaaren needs help." Hoping to get some beer, food, or beer, Sheneer hurries in the direction of Aldaaren.
As Sheneer arrived he noticed Aldaaren looked panicked and was proclaiming doom more than usual. When he is approached he frantically asks, "Can you help me?!? I need you to recover some notes that were lost when I was attacked by a hideous orange beast!!! THESE NOTES COULD MEAN THE FATE OF YLIAKUM! WILL YOU DO IT!?!?"
Sheneer calmly respondes, "Very well, where did you drop them? And how much will you pay me?"
"Over behind those crates to my right near the guards, PLEASE HURRY!" he shouts.
Sheneer returns to the plaza where he gathers a small group of volunteers to help him search. The group was consisted of: Fesek, Glorgal, Meredee, Serusk, and Anarkia as well a few others.
The group hurries over to the crates and began to look for the notes. The notes were found underneath a small stack of crates near the exit to the Oja road. The notes read:
"Erisnas prepared the messengers as the first signs of the eclipse began to show. As the sky faded the messengers took of into the blackness. He ran to the plaza to comfort the unprepared and confused, in order to distract from the horrors that the messengers had been sent to unleash. One to each station to change Yliakum in a way to be remembered, but wished to be forgotten. Confusion had struck the plaza, the young expected an attack and rallied against an nonexistent enemy. The old prayed, remembering happenings of past eclipses.
Even while this confusion took place, the messengers rode on.
The First messenger was given the Egg and a rusted dagger worn from many killings, with one more to perform.
The Second messenger was given a large vial filled with water with something darting about in it.
The Third messenger received what seemed to be a precisely carved statue of a baby pterosaur.
The..."
From then on the page is torn in half. Upon closer examination two orange feathers were found near the note and the tear seems to have been made by a small beak. The group then returns to Aldaaren to brainstorm what this 'hideous, deadly monster' he claimed he had seen. The group came up with several ideas that fit, with each one drawing closer to the answer.
"Cacarass, Groffel, Rat!" were a few guesses made by the group. At last they arrived on the decision that a Kakiri had attacked Aldaaren! Naturally at the mention of this many comments were said about Aldaaren's courage, bravery, and mental state of his mind. After all laughter had died the group continued to examine the notes closer. Based on the condition of the feathers and piece of paper it was deducted that the attack was recent and the culprit couldn't have gotten far. They combed the entire area around the library and Hydlaa exit. The only kakiri that was found was the one feeding off of some seeds on the ground next to Jayose's library. Sure enough, when the team began searching they found the second half of Aldaaren's notes. These read:
"Fourth Messenger took a dark purple potion and a simple key marked with an ornate CA on its handle.
The Fifth Messenger was given the Ever Burning Kakiri feather and a spell of water breathing
The Sixth Messenger was given a small, colorless, floating pebble as well as a Dark shard that seemed to absorb the light around it.
The Seventh and final Messenger was given a bag of scrolls, a stone tablet, and a glowing shard of unknown substance. I am not sure, but before the last messenger left I heard Erisnas say to him, "Take it to the place of many laughs, tragedies, and dreams.:
Right before Erisnas turned to flee I heard him say to the air, "May we see the signs and be fore warned. Brother shall turn against brother, and sister against sister. Governments shall collapse, crime will take root. But, even then it shall only be the beginning of our sorrows." I must go now, the orange creature of DOOM is approaching again!"
The group then agreed to meet in a week after Sheneer went to Aldaaren for payment. Questions filled everyone's minds as to what the meaning of the events was. The little bit of information that they had received had sent their minds on a route of confusion. They did not know this Erisnas, the meaning of the messengers, or if this event was good or ominous. Even with that small bit of information, it took a great toll on them. For the next week the lay awake at night, thinking of that day. They often daydreamed as well while they worked, often turning into heroic fantasies or hideous fears. Slowly they lived through the week, however, and the meeting was almost here...
