In the northern and abandoned region of Old Aaedan the once verdant forests of ancient trees has been overcome with waters from the great lake that pooled in the wake of the White City's destruction. Magic from the Aaedanian Cataclysm still affects the land. Its life all but absent in the wake of the horrible magics that once raised the dead.

Here was the place. Yes. Here is where she would summon them. Those that only 2 years ago saw the destruction of their home. The Aaedanians who survived hell.
A woman stood upon the water. Braided blonde hair and glowing amber eyes peeked out from the white hood. Robes of white cloaked her head to toe, only her arms were bare, a bit of strange jewelry was clasped about her upper arm. In her hand was a simple staff that looked like a shepard's cane grown straight out of the tree.
She filled the staff with magic, a bright white light formed in the hook of the staff. She raised it high. " Kutsun kõiki, kes jagavad minu pärandit. Kõik need, kes kord elasid suures linnas. Kõik, kes selle hävitamise üle elasid!" I call to all who share my heritage. All those who once dwelled in the great city. All those that survived its destruction. She slammed the staff against the surface of the water, it held as though it was made of stone. The light flashed outward blindingly throughout the whole of the once great forest. The magic unleashed quietly and unseen across all the land. It would whisper in every Aaedanian's ear. Telling them to come, to gather together here in this scarred land.
Now she would wait. Days, weeks. It did not matter. She stood there undeterred by time's passage.

It would indeed take weeks. Communities of Aaedanian refugees in Aozora, Isra, and the Winterlands would gather and talk of the strange message they all heard. One Aaedanian just thought that it was another voice that haunted her. Arguments and fights broke out. Should they go? Is it a trap? Is the magic that destroyed them still active and seeking new victims? Who sent the message? All these questions and more would wrack the people of Aaedan in their scattered disorganized forms. It forced them to once more gain their leaders. The old nobility, those that survived the cataclysm began their trek to their old homeland.

First to arrive was Tania Alwhin. Once the commander of all the Rangers who patrolled these very forests. She slunk through the murky land alone. Her eyes darting shadow to shadow. There was nothing. No threats. No hidden monsters. Nothing as she waded through the muck. Then she saw the Aaedanian standing upon the water. Tania did not approach the woman but rather observed her for the time being.

Soon others game. Elli Bartholomew, a former Legate of the Aaedanian Armies and one of the very last of her family soon arrived at the marsh. Her trip through the swamp was eventless and eerily calm. Soon she came across Tania. Elli recognized her at once as a ranger and training told her to look where the ranger was looking. There a figure stood. She wondered if that figure was the one who summoned the Aaedanians.

Legatarius Mann

Roleplay posts: 45
Age: 26
Physical Description: -----
He, like his uncle, is a giant among Aaedanians standing 6'3". His muscles are lean and toned, hiding the strength they can muster.
His hair is silver and brown, though it's not indicative of his age. It is long and kept in a pony tail. His beard is decent length and his mustache is trimmed.
His eyes glow silver, blue, or gold depending on a few factors. They are framed in prominent cheek bones and a round but gaunt face.
-----
Clothes and Equipment: He almost exclusively parades around in his armor. A take on classic Aaedanian armor. Plate upon his shoulders chest, arms, and shins. A wide leather belt, plated with armor replaced the classic hip armor. Under all of this is a lary of chain mail that extends down over his thighs and knees. Between the armor layers is a blue cloth tabard.
The armor is high quality steel with a layer of brass that provides its ornate look. This of course makes the armor extremely heavy but to Legatarius its next to nothing.
He now wields his familial blade reforged for him. Now it's form is a very thick and wide blade. Its edge is honed but it is still more like a club than a sword. Its very useful for penetrating armor, as any mace or club would be. Its cross guard and pummel are brass and a brass lion is molded onto the fuller.
The weapons magic abilities are to eat magi and to launch lightning, Both of these enchantments cannot be used at the same time however the "eaten magic" can fuel the lightning.

Almost immediately behind Elli's arrival on the scene Legatarius. Appeared and came upon the scene. He was one of the last Manns a mere cousin to Nyx, but the next to be king so far as the Aaedanians knew. Some had already come to see him as such as he tried to organize the communities together and ensured they led good lives.
His brilliant glowing blue eyes spotted both Elli and Tania. He leaned against the tree waiting to see how they would react to each other. Something though was keeping their attention.

Imperius Fulgara arrived last. He walked upon the surface of the water. He was one of the last powerful mages of Aaedan and was known as such, "The Last Magus" was a name commonly used to identify him. He strode up beside Legatarius. Neither said a word to each other but simply watched Elli and Tania.

The magics surged and faded, dropping Krahen from their embrace back into the natural plane - only to find she was a little too high. Rather, if the water's surface had been solid she would have stood. But here, she fell just about a foot but it was enough to throw her off balance when her boots splashed in the water and finally hit the ground. She found herself landing on her backside and in murky water.
So much for being clean after a nice, warm bath... The irritation was clear on her expression. She landed somewhere between the white cloaked individual and Tania, easily breaking the stillness of the dead land and more so as she moved to try and push herself back up into standing, a string of foreign curses hissing out under her breath.

Krahens arrival not only announced the presence of the Aaedanians but signaled the final arrival of nobility. The mage looked out in the directions of the Aaedanians quietly observing her. She brought her hand up from her side and made a fist as she did so. The Aaedanians treading water would find themselves slowly lifted to its surface and the water surface became as stone. The mage as a boon then moved her closed fist back down slowly. The water and muck that swamped the Aaedanians flowed right out off them. She stepped forward past Tania and Krahen so all could see her.
"Greeting nobles of Aaedan," she shot a glance with her glowing amber eyes at Imperius, "And fellow mage." He eyes danced among all those present, "I am Maxia Lixeira and I seek to revive Aaedan to unity and glory."

Tania found it unsettling to lifted from the water but she couldn't complain about being dry again. She kept her wary eyes upon the mage as she moved but did little else. After her brief introduction and blatant display of her motives Tania's eyes narrowed. A revived Aaedan? Who the hell is this woman?

Elli was stone faced but her hand was on her sword ready to draw it if need be as the mage passed her. Elli's crimson eyes shined brilliantly when she heard this woman's wish. Maxia Lixeira... She seemed like an Aaedanian, her eyes glowed, her talent with magic was strong, she clearly wants to unite our people again. Could this be happening? Elli was already gaining hope, hope that her people would no longer be mere refugees. Despite the hope literally shining in her eyes she said nothing.

The two lions were taken quite off guard. They found their footing and guardedly gripped their halberds. However at the mention of reviving Aaedan they looked at each other with confused expressions that turned to one of clear excitement.

The arrival of Krahen made him smile at the bit of sudden amusement. He watched with piercing blue eyes as those that tread water rose and found footing on the liquid. He gazed at mage woman moving into their center. Her words... He flashed his teeth in a smile before resuming a stone face. He began to stroke his beard wondering who among his people would speak first.

She had barely gained her footing when she was lifted again, but at least she was out of the water now and above it. Her gaze had followed the cloaked woman with caution that was right on the edge of being suspicious. But then she noticed she wasn't alone... she saw most every noble house here in one member each, plus Tania and an elite mage.
Krahen was speechless as she let her eyes jump from one to the next, clearly overcome with a mix of emotion and she was struggling with it.
But then the woman Maxia spoke, and she was watching her again with a leer that was CLEAR suspicion this time. "Wer bist du und warum willst du Aaedan wiederbeleben?" she barked, left hand toying with the hilt of her sheathed weapon at her hip.

Of course it was the noisy one. He smiled genuinely for a moment before putting back on that mask of inquisitiveness. He drew his sword, a fat heavy blade with a lion imprinted upon the cross guard. He began to absent mindedly play with it. Inspecting it and testing the blade against his thumb's skin. Despite the guise of ignorance his ears were sharply tuned to the scene.

Maxia looked at Krahen. "I am from an older generation of Aaedanian Magi. I was sealed away in time so that I could impart my knowledge to the next generation of magi. Alas when the city was destroyed I awoke as that mage turned the ravaged and destroyed city into its own headstone." Her tone grew into a chastising one, "You ask me why I want to restore Aaedan? I ask you why you have not. Why have you not found a new land, recreated our home?"
