---The Glass Dragon ---
 You're approached by a courier."Hello dear sir/madam, you look like one which this could be relevant for. Please have this note!" The notes says:
"Dear adventurer or which name will best describe your profession. I am a collector and historian from Jeoncho, the mainland of Tawakoshi. I have recently come into possession of a magnificent old artifact, which used belong to the young empress of Tawakoshi 800 years ago. It is a true masterwork to such an extent that words will not properly describe it. I shall never the less try so you may understand why I seek your help.
The item is a glass dragon forged made from hundreds of small joints and bits like a doll, which makes it move almost seamlessly. It is of course a priceless item, but I believe this item holds a secret which is much more valuable than the item itself. I am, however, not in my prime age anymore and cannot venture out on such a mission myself. Therefore I implore you come to Jeoncho, and I will be willing to reward you well, though I suspect what treasures you might find on the way will be of far higher value.
Yours,
Uchino Soke"
_________________________________________________ About the RP: This will be a relatively expansive story and it holds a lot of content, rare items, story and lore. You will by no means have to be a Tawakoshi expert, but a little interest in this foreign land will definitely help. This RP will cater three to four people and start the second week of january. Please ask away if you have any questions and let me know if you want to join. Foreigners are encouraged to join! |

"Does it indeed?" Said the old man with a hint of speculative mirth in his voice as the courier handed him the scroll.
After reading the note, "Hmm, my son did have a fascination with Tawakoshi. This seems like a good as any place to begin my search."

Seijo Ito and Izanami
Established
Roleplay posts: 31
Age: 27
Physical Description: Seijo Ito is a severe man with harsh, gaunt features, marred by a scar across his cheek and an eyepatch where his left eye once was. He is wiry but muscled, not unlike a coiled spring and his remaining eye features a joyless, harsh gaze.
Conversely, the spirit Izanami that guides and aids him features fine, pale features that are beautifully, almost perfectly proportioned. When appearing as a human, her hair is black and straight, falling in a waterfall down her back and her eyes are so blue as to seem almost otherworldly. When in her true appearance she seems to flow as if beneath water, floating above the ground as her eyes become solidly white and hair flows beautifully in a series of blues.
-----------
Clothes and Equipment: Clad in loose-fitting fabrics, Seijo's clothes have seen better days, although seem to be almost noble if they were in better condition.
Beneath his clothes is a thin chain shirt to protect his torso from lucky blows or an assassin's blade, but it won't hold against much more than that.
He wields a katana, and has a wakizashi tied at his waist, symbolizing his status as a swordsman.
Izanami has only her own clothes which she can manipulate, but can not be manipulated by anyone else die to her intangibility.

Pulling his horse to a stop, Seijo turned his single-eyed gaze down upon the courier who had approached him, wordlessly taking the note he unfolded it, squininting at his. Sidesaddle on the back of his horse a gorgeous woman peeked over his shoulder, quietly reading as well. Grunting slightly, he tucked the note into his sash and fetched a silver coin, placing it in the courier's hand.
"I accept." he said simply, already urging on his horse as the two of them departed.

As usual, Ayame would turn up at the first light to sweep the floor around the shrine, brushing the leaves and dirt of the tiles and the long steps of the shrine that she was a Miko too. When someone climbed the same stairs she was sweeping she was sure that it was just another citizen wanting to say their prayers and wish for the favors of the gods. "Welcome!" she would smile sweetly at the stranger, holding onto her broom. But instead of walking past her she was handed a letter and he left again. "Well bye..." she simply said, a little bit astonished. She opened the letter and read the words and as soon as she saw the Glass Dragon mentioned inside of it she gasped. She dropped her broom and immediately ran around the shrine, placed a key inside the door that was there and walking into a small room that was hidden there. She lit a candle and started to look through the books that were located there until she found the one she was looking for and opened it on a page.
Right there on the page was the picture of the exact glass dragon that was described in the letter. With the hundreds if not thousands of joints that could move separately. The words in the book were in a language and hand that Ayame herself had never been able to read, but she knew that the collection of books had been in her family for generation after generation. After all her family had been the protectors of this shrine for generation after generation. She carefully closed the book again and started to wrap it in bundles of paper and cloth, making sure it was well protected from anything that could hurt it before she even dared to take it outside the room. She locked it again with her key as she stepped into the sunlight, tugging the package close to her chest. What she was about to do was unheard of. She was going to leave the shrine and even take one of its holy artifacts with her. Before she dared to ascend the stairs she turned around and bowed as deep as she could towards the shrine. "Please forgive me Kami-sama! This is something I must do!" then she turned around and descended to make her way towards Jeoncho.

As such the quest will start on monday, but players are encouraged to post at Hizashi Mansion already now. The samurai guarding the gates will allow you entering when seeing the note in question. You will be lead into their main living room where servants will be serving you tea and making sure that you are feeling at home. They will let you know, that the lord of the house will be arriving soon. [The date of the meeting has been specified in the letter, and if you are arriving early, you are encouraged to stay at one of the many hotels in the capital of Tawakoshi, Xuandao. Any other equipment will be likely to be found here also. While the current shogun is frowning upon magic use, virtually no shop will openly sell magic items though. It is however not impossible to obtain such things also.] Brandalf Seijo Ito and Izanami Ayame Hisakawa |
