@Iron Jubei
Gonna test your memory a bit here. I've been re-reading some of our adventures (which I do from time to time, mostly because its so easy to forget details over an extended period of time) and I got to the point in the Weyr when we entered the tower and Willa registered you all. At that time you were investigating the concentric circles on the floor and reading the draconic script there.
Unusually our illustrious author replied to you with a post that we could all see (though I guess there may have been other stuff that he pm'd to you). As you never relayed the information to us by an IC post, I was wondering if you took the author's post to be to all of us (i.e. you effectively relaying the information you found) or if you forgot to tell us (unintentionally or otherwise).
Thanks!
For information, the post in question is
quote:
The dais held three concentric circles within so rather than just one teleportation circle this was a nested circle connecting to at least four other locations. Almost all the draconic script were arcane formulas Jubei could not make any sense of. Though each circle held a large, easily recognizable name. The first, the largest circle, was for name so old in the draconic tongue as to be almost unrecognizable. It was one of the names of a legendary dragon queen Lahdunshul. The greatest and most common tale of her was of taming the serpents which swam the great rivers amongst the stars and commanded them to build her a great palace upon the moon. A palace so vast that it could house all of dragonkind and their servants to spare.
The second and third names Jubei recognized belonging to other weyrs found among the Crystal Isles. Both twere ruins and had been looted over the millenia.
The fourth name was simply Lower Chambers.
The reliefs was of battle between two great armies. Dragons, doola tywuar and kaetyma all fought across two lands split by a sea. At the back of one army towered the figure of Malus. A fierce, muscular ulh with tooth like, twisted horns crowing his head. His expression was a happy snarl as he pointed a vicious looking waraxe over the army before him toward what you’d guess is the opposing army. His other arm held a spiked mace.
The figure behind the other army was that of Alyssia, a spindly, almost ethereal looking Ehuron. She carried only a staff. Her head was the sun illuminating the battlefield. The rays grazing her size of the relief before clashing against the smoky darkness that spread from out from Malus’s mane.
If this represented a specific battle Jubei wasn’t sure, though it wouldn’t be odd for it to just be another representation of the ceaseless wars between those two physical gods.
On closer examination Jubei found the entire relief was engraved with draconic script. No, the relief was made up by the script. The writing itself was a list of names. As the realization grew Jubei realized there were millions of names recorded upon that wall.
I only ask because it seems that Lahdunshul's moonbase fell beneath our radar a bit. At least it did mine and I don't remember it being mentioned again since. It seems to me that this is could either be an explanation for what happened to the dragons (they simply relocated) or, more likely, it is the 'citadel in the sky' where the Tyrant King is imprisoned. Perhaps both.
On another note, when we were trying to decide how to enter they Weyr, your Gods granted you a vision that you thought showed Phelan using his teleportation device to get us inside. You asked if his device had an extending blade. However Phelan said it had nothing of the sort and was impossible for it to bypass the Weyr's wards. I'm thinking now that the vision was either trying to show you the safest way to get to the Tyrant King's prison (not inside the Weyr) and that was was using the teleportation circle in the tower (in effect what you thought was a blade extending from Phelan's device was actually a symbol representing the tower) or it was telling you that Phelan's device was a key to operate the teleportation circle there and give us access to the Tyrant King. Again perhaps both.
I dunno - I'm probably overthinking things, but the reference to Lahdunshul building a place on the moon to house all dragons seems very important to me, for us to have never discussed it.
