Chapter 1: Over the Hills and Far Away

List of NPC's has been updated

Part 1

Before departure, the team took some time to explore obsidian and work on themselves.

  • Katla learned some Engineering, as well as detailed information about the Heirophant Green.
  • Aquixar learned nothing, but did make an attempt at learning how to read social cues
  • Clementine became closer friends with Arlo and Vola, learning how the two first met.
  • Ish ate all the meat and met a dwarvin gentleman named Alexander de Braun and a steelborn named Sigurd Lodbrok while playing cards. (Ish won)
  • Jaeline learned more about the strange technologies in the world and made contact with the deity who’s been guiding her.

After your sortie into town, you met at the boarding platform to embark on the Heirophant Green.

The 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.

The land-steamer will traverse hilly and rough terrain in Farneasand 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 Cardean to the city of Station during the final week long trek of your journey.

Boarding was a hectic process, but you did notice a few things.

  1. While the Economy rooms are cramped, they are still quite nice.
  2. 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.
    1. This man later turned out to be Batu Nergui, a business man who claims he is on his way home to Qokon. (More on him later).
  3. You received two pamphlets
    1. 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
    2. 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 contracts. Truly 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, a 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 however, and 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 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.
