Missions From The Keep

[Inkfinger]

The Jya's Keep

The local law enforcement building in Fallien was not just a place to go to report a crime or even ask for help with the local authorities. One could also pick up odd jobs here and there from any number of places. The most often used, however, is in Irrakam, mere steps away from the Keep's front gate. It's a low, squat building made of whitewashed stucco, the large windows hung with colorful curtains. The windows serve to make the large room feel airy, despite the land's oppressive heat, and somehow the carved marble floor always seems cool beneath one's feet.

There's a board pinned to the wall inside the door, above the desk: some of the jobs listed are from the law enforcement bureau, some are from the Priestesses housed within The Keep...and others are even from Jya herself. On the desk are a number of piles of neatly stacked papers, all with different rewards listed.

Behind the desk is a cheerful looking female secretary, neatly and sedately dressed, though somehow in a way that hints at her true beuaty instead of hiding it. She smiles warmly at each person looking through the posted parchments and piles of paper.

• The Beasts: Fallien is a vast desert and wasteland that has largely been unexplored due to the uninhabitable conditions. Because of this there are many races that still grace these deserts that have yet to be discovered. To add further information about the creatures that dwell within this land, the Priestesses of Fallien wish for someone to travel the land and document as best they can the creatures they find therein. There are no limits to how many people can accept this mission. Their habitat, what they eat, how they travel and any special abilities they may have are just some of the kinds of information they want. Though some species are bound to be hostile, engaging in combat with them is not something the Priestesses wish for, unless your life is in danger.
  Conditions: Quest
  Rewards: 300-800 GP depending on the information brought back, and credited addition to Fallien's canon bestiary if the creature seems suitable for the Fallien region.
  Status: Open, one claimed by Josef ben Loewe.
  
  
• *Ties That Bind: Lately, relations with the Outlanders has flared to their highest point; a continued relationship with them is key to the Jya's dream of advancing Fallien in the eyes of the rest of the world. A group of Priestesses plan on making a trip to the Outlander's Post to further establish the relationship with the Outlanders, yet the road there is a dangerous one. We require at least two warriors to protect the Priestess at all costs and make sure that they get there safely and return alive. Remember, the lands themselves are not very friendly to travelers.

• Awakening the Earth: A group of soldiers and explorers made out for the ruins of Aravir, the only problem is no one has heard from them for over a month. Messengers were sent out but they never returned, and the worst is suspected. The ruins were being excavated and are said to still house many artifacts and items from before the Vadhya but the status of those sent to the ruins is more important than what may be within them. Life is more important. Jya needs someone to travel to the ruins and make contact with the team, if anyone from the team is even still alive, and possibly help finish excavating the place.
  
  Conditions:Quest, 2+ players.
  Rewards: The ruins are filled with magical items, whatever found therein is your reward.
  Status:Claimed by Ganlon Martel, open.
  
  
• *Spying on The Jya!?: There are rumors flying through Irrakam that Jya has taken a lover, something no other Jya has ever done before since she usually remains a virgin. Some people are worried about this, especially considering her lover is supposed to be a foreigner. The only problem is Jya is telepathic and knows all of her people so no one can really spy on her without her knowing, however a stranger may be able to do it. With the help of a cloak that protects the wearer from telepaths, we need someone to find out the identity of her lover.
  
  Conditions: Quest.
  Rewards: A Vlince cloak with an enchantment that prevents any telepath from snooping around in the wearer’s head, as well as any telepathic messages.
  Status: Claimed by Kially Gaith, unique.
  Note: Successful completion may unlock a sequel quest.
