After a merciless thrashing from Elgoth, a hulking brute with a scarred face, Harkin, Hjomer, and Rakhnar- Elgoth, presented Hjomer, and Gallow, , with a chilling ultimatum: either join him on a mission or face his wrath in the future, this time without witnesses. Elgoth, in a rare display of mercy, assured them that their friends would be safe, all the while a crowd watched. Reluctantly, they agreed to his proposition.
The next day, Peach, Harkin, Rakhnar, and Sir Mintra sent a note to Cloud, requesting a meeting. While waiting for a reply, they decided to explore the Emerald Quarter and search for the old Earth-born Genasi they had assisted a week ago. Stepping into the Emerald Quarter was like entering a new realm . The Dun'zun was adorned with meticulously manicured parks, and the residences here were nothing less than majestic and lavish. The streets were bustling with people dressed in the most exquisite attire, and even the cafes resembled elegant mansions rather than mere places of commerce, evoking a sense of fascination and intrigue in the characters.
The Academy of Erudition:
They entered the gate to the university and were greeted by a beautiful statue of an elf with dragon-like scales, holding a book with water flowing from it, seeming to create a soft musical tone. Beyond was the administration building, a massive blue marble structure. Within was a large circular desk. The individual within told the group where Professor Clay was. His office is in the Historical building. The trip took them through a lovely park, where students relaxed after a hard study day. Once there, Rakhnar and Clay got into an interesting discussion about the Inai people, a lost people. Harking wandered the museums on the first floor, and Peach asked about the College of Bards. After they had talked about the Inai, the group traveled to the College of Bard's main building, a beautiful white domed marble structure. Inside, they meet the professor of the College, Marithel. He tested Peach and told her that she was one of the rare few who could wild the song of creation and that he would be happy to be her mentor.
After they had been at the University, they received a letter from Cloud. They then traveled to her home and spoke to her about their discovery of the old metal lockbox and the names they had been given by the Stone cloak they had questioned. Cloud told them to investigate Greenwood, and she would look into this Meril Glass. The group, filled with excitement and trepidation, set off on their new quest, their minds buzzing with questions and possibilities.
