Chapter Three: The Third Year

Descending Air, RY 769

• Silk sends the Illuminated out into the Vale to investigate methods of helping the people and executing their plans. After visiting the various locales in the valley they devise a plan and get to work. Dolorous Distich establishes a school and works with Starfish to device plans for a tower of the dead to be built in the over capacity graveyard. Sun's Red Hand works with the locals and pull them together to create a united government with a plan to evolve and grow the government over time. Starfish drafts plans for and leads a crew of volunteers to build a second lift for The Watch, an enchanted mill capable of processing a variety of substances and starts work on an aqueduct system for the vale. Kyrra ventures out into the wilds to investigate a problematic beast, tracks the creature and instead of slaying it as the rangers had suspected, befriends it instead and leads it back to the Vale as her new companion.

Resplendent Water, RY 769

• The Illuminated take a break from the designs to improve the Vale in order to undergo a mission from Silk. They travel west to Zalvenesh where a gathering of buyers are congregating after the local salvagers had pulled a massive orichalcum artifact suspect to have been part of a Fist Age vehicle. The Illuminated are sent to investigate the Zalvenesh and it's people, to establish a cell while there and to potentially purchase the artifact.
• The Illuminated travel quickly through the use of Dolorous Distich's sorcery as he summons up a flying chariot to carry them to the outskirts of Zalvenesh. On the way there, they spot a figure fallen in the snow, but are unable to stop due to the nature of the sorcery transporting them. Sun's Red Hand marks her location with a flare arrow, Starfish does a quick glance diagnosis of her condition and Dolorous Distich calls down the power of the gods to heal her, hoping that it will help her last until he is able to return to render further aid. Once they land near Zalvenesh, most of the party continue to the village, while Dolorous Distich summons up another chariot and travels to where they had spotted the fallen figure.
