7.02a - Lady Burlingham

“That was amazing, Anneleigh.  I must admit, I was completely overwhelmed by the grace of the Messenger of the Vigil. “said one of the guards as Anneleigh rose to her feet.  “I’m honored to have taken part in the summoning.”

One of the guards took a family seal from his body, looked it over, and, with his eyes downcast, handed it to another man.

1.8g - Molinar Crossing

When at last Gwenllian left the outpost, she was surprised to see it was again early evening.

“Have I really only been away from home for three nights?” she wondered to herself, looking at the early stars that attempted to pierce their way through the low lying clouds.

On her way to Molinar Crossing Gwenllian tried to picture in her mind the way the city had looked on her past visits; the large homes, the towering statues, the grand squares.  As she entered the village she found it much changed.  The homes appeared smaller; the statues no longer cast impossibly long shadows; the air of activity that the city once exuded, even at night, was replaced by the silent, ghostly images of the spirits of the dead.

7.01a - Learning the Past

Anneleigh followed the dwarf back towards the Exile’s Den, but was surprised when they turned right and followed the path leading to Icewatch Outpost.

“This area is swarming with Abyssal.” Anneleigh said with alarm.  “We can’t go through this way.”

Daro Copperthumb smiled at her.  “It was an Abyssal Stronghold, yes.  I seem to remember you kicking that ball rolling before you left.”

7.00 - Stillmoor Story Summary

This post will chronicle the story of Anneleigh as she travels through Stillmoor.

Stillmoor is a tricky zone to chronicle for many reasons, not least of which is the unfinished storyline.  As I write, I will do my best to tie things up.

Below, you will find a listing of each story, a short outline of that weeks post, as well as significant story moments and characters.

1.7g - General Stanig's Plan

Gwenllian searched the forest floor for the runecrafted stones General Stanig asked her to find.  They were scattered throughout the forest, but their placement suggested they had been disrupted or moved.  Many of the stones she found were lying on their sides or half buried in the underbrush of the forest. 

After gathering as many as she could handle she made her way to Sergeant Ognin at the Runeguard outpost in Faering Woods.  As she approached she overheard his discussion with one of the other Runeguard.

6.09a - The Tablet

With the guards out of the way Anneleigh was free to study the tablet for a few more minutes; enough time to decipher the last few clues she needed.

“The last phrase refers to Hammerknell Fortress,” she thought to herself, completing the fragmented clue she used to lure the guards, “No one has been in Hammerknell Fortress since the dwarves were forced out.  This is troubling news if the Abyssal think they can get in there.”
