Myr's Sword (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru sighs at the sleeping woman and decides to find Balyss instead. Let her have her rest.

[Anastasia]

A bit of searching has no luck, until Elena appears, "Hi, looking for Balyss? She's out with Ithea right now."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru grunts.

"Hmm... Elena, who else is good at divination and knows hot-spots for fighting fiends?"

[Anastasia]

"Sage Vul'lath, he's a diviner. Yet somehow he's kept out of the loop on a lot of these." Elena taps her chin, "I think he rues the day he learned the gate spell."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you. Where would he be?"

[Anastasia]

"Library," Elena says, "He's reading by touch right now."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you."

Surraruthru flies off to the library to find the Sage.

[Anastasia]

He's not hard to find.  He's going along a shelf, laying his hands on a book briefly, then moving on to the next. He's making steady progress through them, book after book being knocked out.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru comes to a hover behind him.

"Sage Vul'lath. I have something with which Elena suggested you might be able to help with. I am looking for the Sword of Myr, and I may have found a pattern it follows."

[Anastasia]

Sage Vul'lath stops, letters trailing away into nothingness as his fingers leave a book. "You need a diviner and you didn't go to the Lunatic or another?" he asks, almost smiling. Almost. "Yes, what magic do you need?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Lunati-- Ah, Balyss. Moon. Amusing. I suspect that the Sword of Myr appears in areas of conflict with fiends, and that it seems to be avoiding something, thanks to 27. It's heavily protected against divining, but I suspect whatever it's avoiding isn't, nor is the next large conflict with fiends, which is where it seems likely to appear."

[Anastasia]

"It's avoiding something, like it's running from something?" Sage Vul'lath steeples his hands together, "Is the sword intelligent?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"According to Seira, yes."

[Anastasia]

"Then we can infer that it's doing this on purpose, most likely," Sage Vul'lath continues. "Is the sword difficult to divine? How often does it appear?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"There's conflicting reports on it's appearance, so I'm unsure. Seira's mate said that it had powerful protections. I've been unable to find out more in my research."
