A Journey Eastward
While berating each other about complexities and moral quandaries, the party passed a truck with the label: Volunteers. According to them, the driver was shipping Volunteers eastward to Otsukai to help with their dark creature problems.
On reaching the border, they met with Cervatien, the same Eminence of the Juniper Enclave from Lumencroft. This time, however, he only recalled the party from a dream than actually meeting them. With relief, he did offer to bring his merit to hopefully convince having a meeting with the Empress and warn her of the potential invasion.
City of Elenaethel
The air hums with a quiet energy as you enter Elenaethel, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blooming jasmine and the distant melody of a lute. Unlike the tense atmosphere of Cordero, a sense of serenity washes over you. The bustling streets are alive with activity, but the people move with a relaxed grace, their faces etched with contentment rather than worry.
The city's architecture, a harmonious blend of styles as is the iconic Imperial design, reflects this peaceful spirit. Ornate balconies draped with vibrant flowers adorn elegant stone buildings, while graceful arches lead into bustling marketplaces filled with the vibrant colors of exotic wares.
Though soldiers are present, their presence is less imposing, more like guardians than enforcers. They stand with a quiet confidence, their eyes alert but their demeanor calm. Could the source of the atmosphere be it's the caels, their ethereal glow illuminating the ground beneath with a gentle, otherworldly light? Or maybe it's the lack of the oppressive hum of industrial machinery, replaced by the gentle murmur of the river that flows through the city's heart.
Whatever the reason, Elenaethel offers a respite from the anxieties of the outside world.
