==The Discovery of Spinesreach== | |||
The plains to the north of the Ithmian forest were long considered | |||
boring, and not worthy of even the occasional visitor. Little did anyone | |||
have a clue what lie past the Dry Plains. | |||
Where the Dry Plains abut against the Tarea Mountains, a large fortress | |||
was built in the distant past, the Fortress now known as Spinesreach. In | |||
the center of the walled community, a large, locked Citadel rises up, | |||
nestled between a gap in the Tarea mountains, and preventing any travel | |||
into the tundras known to be north of the mountains. | |||
In the walled area outside of the Citadel, a small group of farmers and | |||
their families have gathered within the safe confines of the Citadel, | |||
and started a community. Their presence has gone on for many years | |||
independent of the comings and goings of the cities to their South. | |||
The people are self-reliant, and pride themselves on their skills at | |||
survival. They guard their community from groups of bandits that are | |||
known to roam the Dry Plains and they are almost warlike in their | |||
nationalism for their walled village. | |||
The discovery of this small, loyal community would not cause concern on | |||
most of Aetolia's mind, were it not for four lingering questions: | |||
Firstly, what is this massive Citadel rising up from the center of these | |||
walls, sealed from outsiders? Secondly, why do all the Gods seem | |||
surprised to discover its existence? Is it simply so mundane a place | |||
that their gazes passed right over it? For that matter, what were the | |||
strange visions seen in the sky before its discovery? And why did | |||
Qeddwyn, the last of the Ankyrean Order, suffer seemingly horrible | |||
torment at about the same time? | |||
Indeed, many questions have yet to be answered about this mysterious | |||
place. | |||
