Session 12 - Shal'Azura

A long awaited day with friends and relatives dawns as the Named Nameless each find their way back to familiar routines after the trials of the last week. Aisha is in love, while Dilya is happy to move in with Alizée and Aisha at the Faelight Haven. Anne and Fritz Austerlitz are happy to have their son at home again, while Frederick, Yuri, Te'Sarim and Duchess Elisabeta join in an impromptu game of Builders & Buraucrats at Austerlitz' Assorted Accoutrements, where they are joined by a sleepy-eyed Leonardo. Siham is hired by the charming Alhamis "Free" Aranchar, and immediately receives a signing bonus as well as a free tattoo. Oro'thion is working, while Lordey leaves the Ta'alaq, and Aura finally has some time to share tea with Nelly and tinker with Tinker, who is wondering who this Ludwig person is everyone keeps talking about.   Following Oro'thion's call, everyone gathers at the Dhakira where a flurry of fleeting memories spurs an avalanche of questions.   It appears as if everyone invited to the Blind Storyteller was visited and invited by a different entity, each shadow-hamed, but distinct in their attire and voice, each mysterious invitation alluring to more secrets and mysteries.

Session 6 - The Collector's Tower

Traversing the strange place, the [vampire spawn 4] happened upon a figure of legends, Ibn Al-Hadibi, apparently a forgotten Founder and frosty fish connoiseur, who has agreed to show them the way to the tower of the Sixth Prince.   In a surprising bout of prodigal energy, every member of the ragtag group discovered hidden abilities, became more skilled or or grew more wiser. How about that?

Session 5 - Unknown Palace

Innocence proven, (mostly) free from criminal accusations, spirits are high but for the ongoing killings and kidnappings that threaten Shal'Azura's families.   Reunited with Alizée, the group heads for Karam again, following the helpful insight of PRT H.E.L.I.O.S. and promptly find another family attacked, more children kidnapped, parents killed and bystanders who barely survived.   Investigating the strange Arabesque Knot, the group is pulled through the portal into a sun-flooded palace courtyard, where they are greeted by a strange person with scratched-out eyes and a mouth sewn shut.

Session 4 - Shal'Azura

A day of relevations ends, a day of importance begins; newfound memories of ancient corruption, of tragic fate and of forgotten family members paint a layer of unraveling mystery across the canvas of the day that is to host the court hearing that shall prove the party's innocence - or their untimely doom.   Will innocence be proven? What is the significance of the story of the Forgotten Prince and how will it affect the future? How is one to stop an ancient evil that is supposed to be unkillable? And what the dingo is going on with Alizée's family and their emergencies?

Session 3 - Shal'Azura

About a trip to the library and about meeting new frieds.   Visiting Bahara Library, a section of mysterious empty folders was revealed, folders that are said to hold the information on volunteers who went to investigate Abraj A'Malounaton, the seven pillars of ill repute in the desert around Shal'Azura.   Cracks in the floor tiles reveal a hidden message in an unknown script that fades from memory like smoke.   New companions, a group called "The Sixfold Shadow" have yet to reveal whether they are friend or foe while having already proven to be definitely "weird".   And in the meantime, new killings have happened and more children have gone missing through the night.

Session 2 - Shal'Azura

The Blind Storyteller has told his final story. The end of a legend may mark the beginnings of legends that have yet to be born.   A mysterious accusation forges bonds between some strangers and creates rivals of others. The sands of times mark the awakening of ancient stories. And secrets within the upper echelons of the city, among the families of the Founders themselves, stir tensions and strengthen suspicions.
