Landing at Hope

[Nephrite]

"I was given the ability to create whatever I wanted, so I created something that would guide us to the pieces of Temman's Wheel." Moore says.

"Oh, that will be a worthy quest, if the war doesn't interfere," Kaja speaks up now, "Refresh me on what that is?"

Jetina laughs lightly, a beautiful sound. "It's a powerful magical item. I believe that's all a great big dragon needs to know."

[Nephrite]

"It's something that lets you teleport, even through things that block it." Moore says. "At least, that's what the rumors say."

[Anastasia]

"May they come true," Jetina muses, "We've learned so much and there's so much to do."

The bond between yourself and Jetina is felt, a bright and sudden pulse. You feel power surge along it, bolstering her, resonating.

Node update, go read.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles at Jetina. "Oh, by the way, that power apparently comes from Lord Zaphkiel." He says.

"At any rate, I'll look through this book and see if there's anything easy for us to go accomplish... there probably isn't since one of the pieces is on Fire. But we'll see." He says. "Come get me if anything comes up."

[Anastasia]

As congratulations are given...

Going to study that book, then?

[Nephrite]

I am.

[Anastasia]

Just so I'm clear on it, link me to your post where you shaped and influenced the book?

You begin to read, taking in the first parts of it. More remains after this.

Water - where is the door?

Deep in a flooded palace lies a single door, a forgotten place that opens to endless stairways. Ereshin Palace lies amid arctic flows and frozen rivers, a glittering place of ice and coral. A sealed world, a sealed place, only the blood of the marid can open the way.

Beware the great hunters there, the devourers grown strong on the magic of the fallen palace. Beware the magic that guards the lost treasures of an empire. Seek this last door and be able to break the chains that seal it from the side of the endless stairways.

[Nephrite]

Well, no one on their team fits that bill, so it's likely he'll have to ask the Padisha for aid.

He makes some notes on this and continues to read!

[Anastasia]

Thus you read more, more to go.

Fire - fear the war.

Rifts. A place of half cooled, half erupting lava stone, where plumes of flame and lava erupt from the ground. Rifts form here, great sprays of water larger than Aurora itself opening to spray millions of gallons of water at a time. Steam is everywhere, so hot and scalding as to boil a man alive. Over the ages it has grown taller and taller, a vast set of semi solid fire and lava caves growing from this endless war.

Find the lost house within. Beware the war. Beware the war that is raged there between the elements.

[Nephrite]

So it's somehow not in Steam, but Water still has influence there? Interesting.

More notes, as he reads on.

[Anastasia]

Yet more read, with more to go, but less now.

Air - at the lakeshore.

A great lake of molten metal, steaming hot. It drifts through the empty Air. A space of solid metal surrounds it, jagged and broken - but intact on one far edge is a throne, battered, chipped and intact. The surviving head of a roaring lion is atop it, cracked.

What was lost from Valgadda, which is no more, can be found only in the light of dawn.  Beware what remains, for the lake is not barren of life.

[Nephrite]

What in the world is... ...

Moore takes a breath and makes more notes, then continues on.

He would have never found this stuff on his own!
