While aboard you had several brushes with the Alaraesian high society. Listed [[campaign_notes:suns_over_alaraes:list_of_npcs#Heirophant_Green|here]].  
 +On board, Vola, and by extension you, were hired to help solve the murder of Narthin Nagwin, a well off dragonborn heiress. To make a long story short, you found that Inal, Narthins’ handmaiden, had killed her mistress because she was going to for Sumisu (her lover and Narthins’ cousin) to leave her.  You also found that Batu and Narthin were romantically involved. 
 +Inal was deposited with the proper authorities in Brightmount / Darkmount and you were upgraded to first class accommodations for the remaninder of your trip to Cardean, while also being stiffed for several thousand gold pieces
  
-The [[campaign_notes:suns_over_alaraes:hierophant_green|Hierophant Green]] is a tracked vehicle of mind-boggling proportions. A true goliath of a machine, it appears to be a strange mixture of train and cruise ship. 50ft (15m) wide, 680ft (212m) long, and 120 ft (36m) tall, with steam billowing out of two stacks on the upper back portion of its emerald green hull, and several vents around its base. It is heavily armed against attack and quite luxurious+This trip took approximately 4 weeks.
  
-The land-steamer will traverse hilly and rough terrain in [[alaraes:chapter_4:farneas|Farneas]]and [[alaraes:chapter_4:valmeadow|Valmeadow]] before stopping briefly in Brightmount, this leg of the trip will take approximately two weeks. Finally you will rocket through the well groomed flatlands of [[alaraes:chapter_4:cardean|Cardean]] to the city of Station during the final week long trek of your journey. +==== Chapter 2==== 
- +Lord Alexander de Braun requested your presence at his mansion two days after your arrival in StationYou fucked around for a couple daystaking particular note how clean the city was, and being surprised about the lack of the more unsavory elements of society anywhere in Station.
-Boarding was a hectic process, but you did notice a few things.  +
-  - While the Economy rooms are cramped, they are still quite nice. +
-  - You saw a well dressed man in a vanilla white suite board in the Economy section. This seemed out of place as he had the general look of someone much wealthier. +
-    - This man later turned out to be **Batu Nergui**, a business man who claims he is on his way home to [[alaraes:chapter_4:qokon|Qokon]]. (More on him later). +
-  - You received two pamphlets +
-    - One shows the floor plan of the Hierophant Green and points out the location of the cargo hold, the cafes, as well as the locations of several leisure activities +
-    - One shows the deckplan of your deck, including the locations of the common area, the reception desk, the restrooms, and the hammam on board. +

-=== Part 2 ==+
-==Day 1== +
- +
-  * At the Greenhouse: Jaeline saw **Merca Anum** in a rumpled suit eating on a bench. On the way back a folded letter can be found on the ground where he was sitting. +
- +
-  * On the Esplanade: You saw Narthin Nagwin scream at Batu Nergui. This prompted an **Unknown Male Red Dragonborn** to run up to the pair and try to separate them. However, by the time he arrived Narthin had already left him behind exclaiming “You listen to me **Batu**, you rat bastard, you'll not get a single copper from me or my clan. If you ever speak to me again, I'll see you hanged." +
- +
-  * Back in the Greenhouse: Jaeline saw a letter on the ground by the bench where **Merca Anum** was sitting. It read: +
- +
----- +
-Dear Narthin,\\ +
-I'm sure you'll be happy to know your little plan has worked. I now find myself travelling in 2nd class accommodations and sleeping in cut-rate inns to broker third-rate contractsTruly you have humbled me and taught me the error of my ways. I've been completely bested me this time around. But I promise you, that you have not seen the last of me. I will never forgive you for this disgrace. I will tolerate the drivel of common merchants and the low folk while I slowly re-build my hoard. One day I'll have my revenge, and that day is coming much sooner than you think.\\ +
-Sincerely, \\ +
-//Merca Anum// +
----- +
-  * In the Café Scholz Garten : You sat with **Andira Ophins**, business rival of **Narthin Nagwens’**. You had a pleasant conversation with her trying to tell her good stories. Her disposition changed dramatically once Narthin entered the Café howeverand she became openly hostile with her and antagonizing her for seemingly no reason.  +
- +
-  * That night, at the Library: Jaeline bumped into **Inal Socrib**Narthins handmaid. She had just come from the [[alaraes:chapter_2:services#Com-net|com-net]] vestibule and seemed upset. Unlike every other dragonborn you’ve interacted with on the land-steamer she wasn’t an asshole to you. +
-\\ +
-\\ +
-==Day 3== +
-  * At the Gymnasium: You witnessed **Batu Nergui** having a quiet but heated discussion with an **Unknown Red Dragonborn** about something. The two were getting quite angry before the dragonborn stormed off. Batu did not want to discuss the argument with //complete strangers//+
- +
-  * Some of you went to the Barber: Here you found **Alexander de Braun** a dwarven administrator of one of Cardeans 11 district and a member of its Citizens Council. He filled you in on the //hot goss// about the wealthy elite aboard the Hierophant Green.  +
- +
----- +
-The __Hot Goss__\\ +
-  * **Andira** and **Narthin** used to be childhood friends before Andira stole away someone Narthin was interested in. The two have been feuding ever since. +
-  * **Batu Nergui** is a wealthy merchant from Qokon, Alexander has no idea why he and **Narthin** were fighting. +
-  * **Narthin** is on her way to Cardean to secure a large amount of copper ore for some reason. +
- +
----- +
- +
-  * Another visit to the Greenhouse: Katla witnessed a hushed conversation between an **Unknown Red Dragonborn** and **Inal**. They immediately separated upon noticing Katla, each heading a separate direction. Katla also witnessed **Batu Nergui** and **Narthin Nagwin** having a private discussion. **Batu** looked angry while holding onto **Narthins** arm as she tried to pull away. Eventually she succeeded and ran from him with **Batu** calling out after her, “We're not done with this Narthin!" +
- +
-  * Lastly on the Esplanade: Katla witnessed **Narthin** dressing down **Inal** for taking too long to get refreshments. **Inal** lied about where she’d been.+
  
 +During your meeting with Alexander, he requested your aid in locating Standard Template Constructs (STC's) in Undercity. These STCs allow Foundries to produce new lost technology and are very very valuable. You would be one of multiple non-competing teams sent to Undercity to investigate the location these Constructs are rumored to be in. You reward would be 10,000 gold per each STC returned. He would also provide you with a guide to help you through the chartered levels of Undercity. 
  
 +After your meeting, you put out an ad for a Rogue with the local Government Sanctioned Adventurers Guild. Contract to follow.
