Eredan's World

Thanks for the translation, though I must admit I'm barely waking and I already seeing a translation.  It puts me in shock.

I only said that because cards like [card]In the hand of the gods[/card] and [card]curse of the king-priest[/card] cause played cards to be ignored which have in the past been mainly witchblades and the packs schtick and i just realized the second card I mentioned can't be fully utilized by immortals.

Is it just me or are Immortals becoming a healing version of Witchblades with all the Immortal counter cards that seem to be coming out.

Now to adjust someone's calculations for those who got Hrimnir from last years event and don't need him again this year.

We need a Zombie Abe Lincoln lookalike next update.

Oh, don't give me that bull, each of the four tribes in the Avatar/The Legend of Korra has their own distinct stylizing based on real earth cultures.  And besides the northern and southern tribes in Avatar/The Legend of Korra have more of an Eskimo/Inuit look then the Stone Linkers do.  Not to mention Lazar Zackarov has a name closely resemble some famous Russian names like the Romanov's.  Not to mention I'm not really seeing the resemblance of Catalyna and Avatar Korra AND I watched all of the episodes of the latter.

Wait, so are the Stone Linkers suppose to be the Russian guild, just like the Nomads are the Egyptian guild and the Runics are the Greek/Italian guild?

The only thing I think dragon knights need is a new armour for the dragon knights who have chain armour as their ability.

“Earth to the Admiral, Land Ahoy.”  Lil Laddie who was at lookout said.
Al pulled something out of her leather case to have a better look at the “Earth”. 

The small floating island wasn’t very crowded, but this didn’t stop the government of the White Islands and the Republic of Tantad from fighting over it. 

Bramamir, the White Island nations, had appropriated much of the land that used to be Tantad, which caused Bramimir and the Republic of Tantad to in a cold war.  Sometime in the near past, Tantad caused a blockade on the trading routes, so that Bramimir would run out of supplies. 

More recently, the Runic Legion, who belonged to the Republic of Tantad, had led a successful raid to recapture the Temple of the Goddess.  So to say the least, the Pirates of Bramimir and the Runic Legion weren’t exactly making getting along with each other on Al’s ship easy.  The Centorium Aurius, was well treated for his rank, but he still regreted the Pirates behaviour.  However, without the presence of Al and Aurius there would have been even more fighting between the two guilds.

Admiral Al wanted to battle the Runics herself, but for her responsibilities to her nation had caused her to order her crew to wait until after the mission was over before getting into any conflicts.  She wanted to hear the whole story of the door before deciding the most profitable course of action.

The Arcadia dock on an outcropping rock and the two guilds marched to the entrance of the Temple of the Goddess.

“This is a sacred place Admiral, your pirates cannot enter”

“Can I?” She asked innocently.

“Please enter,” Aurius found himself obliged to agree, so as not to increase the visible animosity.

“If it does not bother you, I have with me a person who knows a lot about the legends, you have nothing against that fact if she comes with me, huh?”

“Uh… do so.”

“Wata', you can come darling, I'm going to need your talents.”

The Wata in question was Watahata of course and the story describes her as currently dressed as her lvl 3 mage evolution.  The two women followed the Runic Legion into the temple noticing that the furniture in there was brand new even though it had been 100 years.

They also met Lania who was posted there ever since the Runics had come back from their last adventure.  She greeted them peacefully and told them to leave their fury at the door because they were in a place of peace and harmony.
Aurius told Lania that he sought information about the door of the Gods only for her to tell him that they were still in the process of restoring the place and only four or five people would be able to fit in the room.  Aurius chose Sapient, Oracle of Orpiance and Sanquinam the Kertasien out of his troops to go.

Meanwhile, Al and Watahata cased the temple admiring a head of gold and some fruit that according to Wata was superb.

“They have other resources that we have not, because they screwed us over with that blockade, we will really have to settle this once and for all.  Listen Wata', if you find any useful information, and you understand what I mean by useful, say nothing to the Runics and wait for a good time to talk to me.” Al told Wata.

“Ok, chief I hadn’t planned on telling them anything.  They are strange people with their runes.”

Lania started to motion to the pirates to start moving and told the four of them, Al, Wata, Sapient, and Sanquinam, to put their weapons into a trunk.  They did so the Runics a little more willing than the pirates, before Lania led the group to a room in the basement, which had 2 people in it busy restoring the place.

Lania showed them the runes and tells them that it tells a story of how one man, Osydemak, saved hundreds of people’s lives at the risk when the Maelstorm first appeared and the floating islands threatened to crash into the ground.  During that time he found the Doorway to the Gods.  After his mission to rescue people he went to investigate, but was never heard of again.

The group looked for any clues where the doorway could be found, but the two Runics couldn’t find anything.  On the other hand Wata was able to start seeing patterns in the text and started to figure out what they really meant, while pretending to have not seen anything.  Soon enough the two Runics gave up and start suggesting they search other places in the temple for more clues.

The Runics and the Pirates returned to the Arcadia, where the Pirates naturally mocked the Runics for failing to solve their mystery.  Meanwhile, Watahata looked through a telescope to confirm that she had found what she thought she had before going to talk to Al.  Finally, with a bargaining chip in her hand Al went to Aurius and asked to talk to him.

“Yes, Admiral?”

“Well, I think it is time for us to come up with an agreement on the Tantad blockade of the White Islands.  The government of today is not that of the past and we can achieve something out. If we make you a gesture, will you be ready to do the same for us?

“Well, I cannot speak on behalf of the Cenacle, Admiral, but the discussion is open, especially if you made a gesture.  But, what gesture?

“You are interested the Door of the Gods, are you not?  I offer you it and its region.

Aurius frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

“We are the masters of air travel; we have a method to find the door.”

“If this is the case it will be in your favor, not to mention the return of the region.”

“A deal” then Al said as she nodded to Watahata.

The young woman ran up to Bragan at the helm.  To whom Watahata gave certain directions to.  An hour’s journey they had reached the cloud with the door.

Will Admiral Al be able to secure supplies for her people before her people starve to death?
Will Lania tell Sapient and Sanquinam that the Arcadia left without them?
and Will the pirates ever get that rematch they have been begging for now since the battle of the guilds have stopped?

For some odd reason I don't see Keizan that type of leader maybe Admiral Al or Kotoba leader, but Keizan doesn't seem the type to even own riches or filthy Gold.

My only question is if Keizan is still alive and is the World Tree, why isn't he the legendary for the Sap Hearts instead of Ourenos?  I mean Keizan is basically the god of the Sap Hearts and yet Ourenos is the one with legendary status.

So the story starts with Abyssein coming back from interrogation of the Stranger and entering meeting room of the council.  Marlok stops his conversation with Chantelain and goes over to talk to Abyssien.

While Marlok is more interested in finding out what Abyssein, Abyssein demands to know what was going on.  Marlok explains that Ciramor had arrived with news from certian guilds.  After which Abyssein expostulates that his shadow magic wasn't having much of effect on the Stranger, so his interrogation of the Stranger didn't reveal much of anything and that Marlok might try putting some pressure on the Stranger in their next attempt.

Councillor Doyen Verace then introduces the guest speaker for the day and gives Ciramor the floor.

Ciramor starts telling the history of the doors.  He talks about how Bloodsword and Faceless found the first mysterious door in the middle of the forest which was stylized like the Eltarite's homes and how Fenrath came out of that door before it disappeared.  He then mentions how the dragon appeared and captured the essence of the Nehant by disappearing through another door.

Then he mentions the more recent history of how the stranger used the magic of Yakoushou to open the Xriarite door to allow Theya through and his fight with Theya and the Stranger in the forest in which the Sap Hearts intervened and stopped the door from opening.

He then finishes by mention a door in the style of the Nomads have appeared in the desert and that more recently, last chapter to be exact, the Zil had captured the Stranger and is now in the process of being interrogated in that very same castle.

Some guy representing Zil speaks up stating that the Zil would bring the Stranger to justice according to their laws.  And goes on to recount how that during the time the Pact was chasing after the Stranger, the Zircus fell to an invasion of Zombies because the Zil didn't have enough people to resist the said invasion.

They decide to table that for a later ruling and go on to discuss the difference between the door to infinity and the equinox that keep appearing.  They point out how in the past equinox would appear for short periods of times before just disappearing, but never lasted for this long.

Sapient brings up a runic legend about a runic door that was inscribed in the Temple of the Goddess and the council suggests that the Runics should go search for that door just in case the invaders might hit it next.

Admiral Al states that the Pirates will help the Runics with their cause, because troops of legionnaires trampling about the Temple of the Goddess might cause problems for some people in the White Isle.  She then suggests a momentarily truce between the Pirates and the Runics.  Aurius and Eilos conferred with each other before agreeing to the said truce.

The council agrees to let the Pirates and the Runics to handle that. 

The  leader of the Stone Linker guild, Master Maen, requests to speak and is allowed.  He states that people are afraid of the Equinox and that the guild needs to ban together, so that they can reassure the people of the lands that they are in control of the situation to lessen the people’s fears.  He also the other guild leader that the Stonelinkers are willing to open up there pathways so it is easier and faster from one place to another.

Finally it is F'ey, the first of the new world tree to talk.  It explains that the Sap Hearts have the door in the forest under their control and that they need help from Ciramor and the stone linkers.

Master Maen frowns not being a big fan of the Sap Hearts but agrees to send a couple Stonelinker along at any rate and Ciramor accepted without hesitations.

Will the Pirates and the Runics actually get along?
What is Master Maen's beef with the Sap Hearts?
And should have I written this in past tense and not present tense?
