A bald Mulani mage with web-like tattoos all around his head and donned in the garments of a Red Wizard teleports into Mist Lake and eventually approaches. You notice the left side of his face is disfigured with his left cheek tainted with grey, scalish skin and his eye being colored black with a glowing red pupil at it's center. He leaves a parchment that details an offer . . .
Vendui',
I come as a representative of my Thayan Enclave upon the Surface. I wish to leave an offer for one of your merchants to make a purchase of one of her magical items. The Belt of Raumathar bears of great interest to me. I wish to offer 140 bags for this belt. I will return here frequently and await your reply.
Aluve',
Xorgrael Sanir, Malikir of the Thayan Enclave
“In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson
