Entry 31 Orientation Backward

by Vaz

We have worked our way through the pattern of this place and make our way to "Orientation" where it seems the Master is expected. The hall beyond gleams unusually, slowly and carefully we make our way to the next door, where we are greeted generously by a Conjurant, my mirror in Nashantar, to NIV. It seems this one had served House Varta, and know quite a bit of each of us. This one walks through time as one walks down an alley.
Master, wiser than most, begins to see this land and NIV for what it is, energy and mind, tethering this place to our home, the prime plane. NIV, is magic, and this Time Walker tells us they are here to receive us, and guide us through this orientation. This place is ruined with the destruction from the Adversary, and the Conjurant explains this land is an echo generated by NIV, and could be saved by returning to the prime material plane.
While Master speaks and looks to go forward, so I make this one tea, I know what it means to never have been served. The Time Walker thanks me by channeling its force into me, expanding my will and sight, a glorious feeling.

Master and The Soul Splitter enter this office, The Overseer, to see if there is anything informative. They find an image of Varta's Grandsire, Quorian, Magesh, Tharulex, and a young Syreen. Seems they had worked together on this place, Master is obsessed as he starts to pull about the very furniture itself.
Master finds letters, about the lineage Miss Amrith, that her father is not who she thought, nor her mother. They fall into debate about who is born of whom, this is all too much, but I think that bastard with the shard in his chest needs to die and that is good enough. It seems binding these shards are required in order to move through Orientation. We rest here in order to head back and retrieve the first piece.
As we cross the lands and back into Niermada's territory it seems the Gardner's are scaling a large invasion into the territory. We get closer to one of the skirmishes and we find these insect like creatures.
As we head towards the center, the frequency of these battles are increasing, we must sneak in and get the drop on this General. Back into these sewers and back from this trap in order to get back at them.
