All Along the Watchtower
Route Exploration: The il’Jhain is, by necessity, a beast with an almost-constantly-changing face. Each faction looks for their own tricks through the deadly wilderness. Can you find a better way through a treacherous pass, or a shortcut that shaves a precious hour off your time?
Reward: Successfully finding a new route earns a gold bonus (size dependent on the practicality of said route), one token, and one additional enchantment.
My name, in your tongue, is Mordelain Saythrou.
Nearly seven hundred years ago, I did something I have regretted every day since. I did something that can never be forgiven, never be forgotten, and certainly, never be explained away with rhetoric or reason.
I destroyed Fallien.
In trying to save Althanas, I succeeded only in exiling it forever from the glory, the prosperity, and the once radiant potential of the entity known as the Kalithrism. Its people would have been gifted with the wonders of eight other worlds, and all the discoveries and adventures those mystic realms had to offer. Without the portal I had to construct in the heart of Fallien’s verdant edifice, I could not stop the Cataclysm.
I failed to save billions of lives.
