Expanded Backgrounds

Manse ••••  The Manse of Silent Stone

This ancient manse lies deep within the Lap. While Scholars have postulated that the Lap might have acted as a capacitor and director of dragon tracks once, it sppears to have stopped functioning long ago, and the many manses around it's base now direct that essence. They are wrong. The Manse remains, just as it always has, hidden from both mortal and essence sight deep within the forehead of the mediating figure carved into the mountain. Inside the darkened rooms are pitch black, counting as total darkness, to those who aren't attuned to the manse, who find it lit with enough light for them to see by. There's running water, and food, of a sort, though the flaky white flakes aren't very tasty, they're enough to feed a half a dozen people or so. There's also a small workshop, though not equipped great arcane works, which is still well well equipped, for mortal work, or simple enchantments. There's several empty rooms as well, which seem to be avalaible for use, but not currently in use. And, in the very center of the Manse, is the Hearthstone Chamber. There, between the carved and precise granite walls and ceiling, in the exact venter of the room, is where the Hearthstone Forms, hanging motionless until claimed, a Gem of Adamant Skin. Throughout the entire Manse, dead silence rings. All sound within the manse is softened, and muted, and only the loudest sounds can be heard, from one side of the manse to the other.
(This Manse is Formed using the system Here, and has the following features: Invisible. Provider. Self Cleaning. Cosmetic Powers.)

Artifact •  Black Jade Hearthstone Amulet

Five Pillars returned the rest of the Ragara Miln's equipment. His artifact armor was sent back to his family, and his normal, if exceptional equipment was returned to the Order in the Lap. However, he kept the Hearthstone Amulet of his friend, keeping the Hearthstone of Underwater Action in it, until the gem melted into water, one day. Now he carries the Gem of Adamant Skin in it, and keeps it as a constant reminder of his fallen friend, and of his duty.

Resources •••••  Wealth Beyond the Dreams of Avarice

Five Pillars has, in his recent series of adventures in the sotuh, encountered a number of rare and unique curiousities, and items. The guild factor in Gem considers him to be a mercenary immaculate monk, but can't argue with the quality of his finds. As a result, Five Pillars has becomes tremendously and incredibly wealthy.

The Prophecy

things, my friend."
