Rebellion of Qualinesti
Spring Dawning
1/30/05
Speaker Gilthas the King of Qualinesti sits in his personnel quarters near the top of the Tower of the Sun. his mind must have wondered, his poem is half completed. Such as the beauty of Qualinost, it is easy to lose yourself looking at the majestic view of the four towers connected by the four spanning bridges called Arculoallis (Kith-Khanan’s Griffon Mount), Sithel (Kith-Khanan’s Twin Brother), Mackeli (An important person to Kith in his first adventure), and Suzine, (Kith-Khan’s seconded wife during the foundation of Qualinesti), will it all fall?
Gilthas has already been told that his rebellion leaders will be meeting with the Dwarves in the south by Gil’s personal assistant, Planchet.
My Lioness, Kerin is out there, defending Qualinesti for me when we should all be doing that this very second. How you must hate me great Kith Khanan. Human Dark Knights control us, the Great Green wants us all dead when she has nothing else to gain from us, and we live at her whim.
The Thalas-Enthia pass laws that I never see because my puppet-master Chamberlain Palthinon worries it will upset me. That’s funny. Upset me… and still I must suffer this indignation to make life here operating so still ore elves may but live. Just a little longer.
With the Wolverines coming in the north, the Elves escaping to the south and the Wildrunners and Windriders bringing Beryl in close, maybe the plan will work to bring her down. The Dwarves will get the refugees out safely out of harm’s way, and the real fighting will begin.
New Ports
The night goes on, with good fun had by all. The drinks kept coming and the fireplace roared into the night keeping the cold at bay.
Jenna pulls you up and walks hand in hand with yours, pulling you up the stairs after saying good night to Palainess and Shari.
Jenna is 5’7” a hundred lbs. soaking wet. Almond shaped honey eyes with medium length golden hair that she pulls back in battle. She is the sweetest thing and so good-natured. A strong and swift warrior, yet soft and easygoing.
The Spell Archer pulls Eloise into her room and both proceed into a zone that is left to fade to black.
At the Northern Keep,
Damara and Mingan stay the night together in her room this night.
The next morning,
Breakfast is served in a deck near the greenhouse for Wydara and Aridu. Soon you will set out on your orders to bring down the dread Skull Knight Teron.
Xietuar, the Thri-Kreen fighter is at Pax Tharkus
Thul-Chek is at Pax Tharkus as well.
Jenna has already volunteered her bow with; you are supposed to meet her at New Ports later this day.
Kuren separating from Devyn as she is heading to the White Rage to meet up with Wolverines and fight Undead. Kuren will be joining us on the expedition.
You have a decent morning sharing time with someone that is affecting you in strange ways. Aridu is in the middle of his life and going into battle
You saw Damara before she departed; she got Solvern and rode to parts unknown. Damara’s right hand, Relmal Aerwind. He directs you with maps, to troop deployments to bypass and to the location of the elven scouts that are trailing the skull knight.
You have 50 Wild Runners that will meet you in Pax Tharkus consisting of equal number of archers and swordsmen with 20 mounted Lancers.
6 Wind Riders also will help with communications and forward observation.
You are given a Master Sgt named Halil. A mighty elven champion Wildrunner, and Veteran of The War of the Lance and the Silvanesti Nightmare campaign and the Summer of Flame and Chaos. Wields curved swords of Quickness. Halil salutes you.
“It is a honor to serve you my Lady. The Troops from here are all saddled up and ready when you are.”
In Damara’s room,
Mingan awakes in the huge bedroom that Damara was using.
She is gone.
Damn.
It was a great night, one you will never forget.
But what now?
At New Ports,
Jenna stayed the night with you and woke up in your arms. You spend a leisurely time getting up and ready, and kissing when you are near each other.
A fine lady to bed.
You have breakfast with the Dwarf who is a little hung over. Palianess, you hear this mourning from the builders that the Roaring Griffon will be done next month and you can start moving in this week.
General Denethor gathers troops in Porliost, readying for campaingn season approaches. The commoners are fletching arrows and sharpening with wet stones the arrowheads that will sing and slay. Armors are stoking the forge to make works for the secret army. Under the direction of Captain Eldarin.
The Blade Masters train the thin troops strengths in Lauranost. The ancient House of Law gathers together the Blade Master society, all under the watchful vision of Luthian.
The Wind Riders train in the southern Reaches of the Qualinesti, away from dragons. Commander Naien Inari, one of the best Griffin Riders in all of history. Selected at a young age at Damara’s recommendation.
1000 Griffons and only 433 trained Griffin riders left.
Elven Mages of House Mystic gather to try to enspells the arrows that come to them inn droves.
Deep in the west wood of Qualinesti,
Skull Knight Teron continues his mad torch raid purge. He puts woman and child to death in several villages, then swiftly killing elven patrols. Teron is gifted somehow; unnervingly he has an icy aura and all black eyes as of late.
High in the air,
Damara soars on Griffon back thru the metallic clouds in the morning chill.
Wow, what a night. Feel bad to leave him, but I have to get work done.
War plans churn thru her mind as she looks down on Qualinesti.
Feelings from the Heart
Part 2
By Don
Finishing his breakfast, Eolise will talk to Palannis one last time. "Well my friend, it is time for us to part our ways once again. Of all the rituals and beliefs of the different races in this world, the dwarven disposition for short goodbyes is probably the one I like right now the most. If all goes well and I live through this upcoming hell, then I will see you as soon as we can. Otherwise, know that it has been an honor knowing you, and I will carry you in my thoughts into the next life." Reaching over, Eolise will give Palannis a strong handshake, and a strong hug. "Farewell, my friend." Turning, he will leave and find Jenna. As soon as they can, he will pull her to the side so that they may speak alone. "Jenna, what we are about to start we will have few and to far between times to express anything between us, and will not have the time to let our guard down, so I wanted to say these things to you now. This war.....it has had many reasons for me to fight in it. It started as a favor to a friend, then fighting along side friends, then fighting to free my elven kinsmen. But now.......I would follow you into the gates of hell if need be. You have given me a more personal reason to fight in this war then I've ever had before. I......" he stops talking, caresses her face and kisses her gently. "You know what I mean, I guess." Smiling, he turns toward the griffons. "So, where are we off too now?"
Wydara
Part 3
By Dave
Wydara, joined by Halil, Aridu, and Jenna will leave first for Pax Tharkas to meet up with the Wildrunners, Xietaur, and Thul-Chek. Once all are assembled, Wydara has a few words for them
"My friends, we leave in but a moment to track down the butcher Teron. This so-called "knight" has committed so many atrocities, uncountable heinous murders of the lame, the injured, the sick, the elderly...even babes in their mother's arms. There is no greater a monster in all of the enemy rank and file. He is so twisted, I have heard even the corrupt Marshal Medan wants his head on a pike.
We are going to hunt this rabid beast down and when we have him, we will pay him back for every crime he has committed against our people, against our land. Ready your swords, my friends. Ready your bows, your lances, your maces and axes. The Hunt is begun!"
With that, they pour out from Pax Tharkas to connect with the Wildrunners that are tracking the Skull Knight.
