The ship listed to one side, pushed around by brutal waves. Salt foam bubbled on deck, dissolving until again it was replaced by the dark sea. Morningstar gripped the wheel tight, his face drenched by lashing rain. Above, the storm thundered, the boundless wrath of Neptune bellowing through the air. Booming winds crashed against the sails, threatening to rip them to shreds. In the distance, Morningstar thought he could hear a horn. With one hand, he created a visor over his eyes, and once the waves dropped low, he scanned the horizon. "Look!" he shouted through the storm. Light broke

According to his newfound notes, Morningstar was headed for the Mausoleum next. He was cautious when moving between rooms. The silence of the library was eerie; he never really felt alone, despite not seeing anyone else around. The books in this room were unreadable, bound in thick chains that Morningstar could not break through. He hadn't opened a single book in the previous room, but now that they were locked up, he found himself curious. What secrets did the library want to keep from nosy parties like himself? At the back of the room, a sarcophagus lay where a bookshelf mig

He entered to a room that looked unfitting for a library. The roof was high, domed, and starry. Lanterns flickered above, replicating constellations that Morningstar could not name. In the center was an orrery. He moved closer to get a better look. The solar system was propped up in what he could only assume was an accurate representation (he knew nothing about space, really). The sun in the middle was a golden orb, about the size of a golf ball. The planets were still, but cranking the orrery caused them to rotate around the sun. The planets on the far end of the solar system moved slower tha

Winding halls made the cathedral a labyrinth. It took two hours for Morningstar and Florick to find a suitable library. Florick only stayed because he was unfit to take the path home alone, and he figured Morningstar would need help on the return trip as well. Of course, that wasn't the case. Morningstar didn't need a guide at all. He had a map, and he had teleport crystals. It wouldn't take much for him to get back to Angel's Point. Morningstar explored the library, looking for something that resembled a door. All the while, he tried not to interact with the NPC unless absolutely ne

Morningstar formed the Trackers Alliance so that rumors and information could be gathered, maintained, and stored in one single place. Scouts affiliated with the guild could use that information as they wished, exploring to their heart's content. Even so, there were certain rumors that Morningstar withheld from his group--rumors that he deemed too dark and too dangerous to rank at all. The Stygian Library was one of these rumors. He first encountered it as a myth in the Grand Library of Ronbaru. A short and seemingly unremarkable book titled "Callow's Mythology" detailed the author's disc

He crossed out 'no combat' in his journal, replacing it with 'some combat.' "Work at your own pace. Investigate rumors as often as your schedule allows. I won't be keeping track of your hours. In regards to rewards, the guild will not take a cut from anything you earn. You can think of yourselves as freelancers, sort of." "Good question," he said to Bistro. "There isn't a straightforward formula for determining difficulty, but rank is predominantly based on the amount of danger a player can expect to be in while undertaking the rumor. Whether the danger stems from local mobs, environ

Climbing through rubble and into the cave, Morningstar immediately felt claustrophobic. "Eh, I'm sure they'll manage," he said, much more comfortable knowing they still had airflow. The revelation that NIGHT lacked night vision came as a surprise to Star (it's kind of in her name, no?). He blinked. "I thought everyone had night vision. So you're basically blind then? Do we need to hold hands? How many fingers am I holding up?" The answer was zero. Their trek through the system of caves would be safest led by Star, it seemed, and so he took charge. This was most definitely a mist

Morningstar blinked. He knew she was weird, but hadn’t pegged her as crazy. He listened while Acanthus tried to explain herself. Morningstar could see the remorse in her hunched, curled posture; in the tremor in her voice; in the tears that soaked the molten rock below. It hadn’t been intentional–he could tell she regretted it. But what was done, was done. Teion countered with a fair question. Clearly, fighting was no longer enough to keep the voices at bay–or at least, to keep Acanthus in control. She was a loose cannon and that was a problem. Morningstar exhaled slowly.
