==A new day in Spinesreach== | |||
The 8th of Severin in the year 107 started out like any day in | |||
Spinesreach. The farmers ploughed their fields for their upcoming | |||
planting, Franwet began her day's cooking, and the grumpy old villager | |||
Eocik sat at the Inner Gate of Spinesreach complaining. | |||
Though many tried to assuage him, none could get him to cease his rude | |||
behavior. He insulted the manhood of more than one Shadowsnake, the | |||
intelligence of quite a few others, and took particular care to take the | |||
piss out of Avialle, who returned it just as well as she received it. | |||
As he spoke to the crowd assembled, it became clear that Eocik had | |||
secrets, but that initially, at least, he wasn't willing to share them | |||
with the group of "imbeciles" in front of him. He had discovered lost | |||
knowledge in Spinesreach that concerned the powers of the mystic | |||
numerological symbols and had learned how to manipulate the symbols to | |||
affect fate itself. | |||
Eventually the crowd learned that Eocik was to open a Cabal, and that he | |||
would allow in any who "strove above the level of moron" and sought to | |||
learn the beauty of the numbers. And so the Cabalists were formed. | |||
Little is known about them. Their guildhall is in the depths of the | |||
Catacombs of Spinesreach, where they can be found contemplating the | |||
beauty and mystery of the numbers, eliciting effects and manipulating | |||
fate. | |||
What is not known, however, is if the cantankerous Eocik will ever warm | |||
up to any of his students long enough not to insult them. | |||
