Eredan's World

The story starts in port city Aman-ra; second largest city of the Desert Nomads.  The defeat of the Avatar Sol'ra has diminished the power of this Solairan City but it is still a power in the region.  Zehanie, watches the children play and recalls her youth playing with her sister Soraya.  She remembers her sister fondly but her death brings her great sorrow.  As the sun sets on city Zehanie, leaves the city and goes to the Desert.  There she finds several Beatles among the dunes.   When she investigates she finds a glowing version of her dead sister Soraya among the Beatles.  The being explains that she is a Solairan (and the only Solairan on Guem as they all died with the Avatar Sol'ra) and knew Zehanie’s sister and wore her face so she could talk to Zehanie.  The Solairan explains that she has little time and asks that Zehanie perform a task on behalf of Kehper (the giant beetle thing you fight at the end of the Nomad Adventure).  Zehanie becomes angry stating that it is because of the Kehper that her sister die; why would she help it.  The Solairan says that only she can help, that like her sister she could channel the power of her ancestors (I guess that means getting the Priest class).  Zehanie wants to know of her ancestors, but the Solairan has to leave saying that the Beatles will bring her the answers she needs.  The Beatles scuttle off into the Sands and Zehanie Follows.  The trail ends a great hole in the ground and Zehanie enters.  There she finds the Skelital remains of Warriors dressed in Armor and bearing the symbol of Kehper.  These were the legendary Guardians of Kehper.  One of the warriors was not dead and spoke to Zehanie. 
    “I am Azela, child of Kehper; I have kept death a bay until I could speak with my decedents.  I saw my father's heart was pierced by the lance of the Sphinx Nebsen Ra, I saw the horrors of the Traitor Ra.  I fought to stop the Traitor God.  Kehper, like Cheksathèt, god of Knowledge was captured by Ra but he could still Resist.  Do not Judge the actions of Kehper, he was forced to action by his captors. I cannot release him, but you – you might.  Take my armor and sword.”  And with that Azela faded away.  Zehanie took the armor and sword and they fit perfectly.  Again the Solairan (that looked like her dead sister) appeared and asked her to take her hand.  Zehanie did and was transported to the prison of Kehper.  From behind a great yellow crystal she could see that giant Beatle was bound by chains of Light and guarded by Hostile Solairans.  Filled with Rage she rushed forward with her newly obtained sword. 
Will Zehanie free Kehper from its prison, or slay it for revenge for her sister’s death?
Will the Solairans return to Guem, and if so will they be liberators or destroyers?
Will the Worship of Dung Beatles, even really big ones get you tax exempt status?

STORY TIME:

The story starts with [card]Lazar Zackarov[/card] traveling by linker path to the mountain Chalet of the Guild leader [card]Master Maen[/card].  Upon arrival he presents Maen with a very RARE book – Eredan Saga, Volume 1 (don’t know why he did not go to the market place, 100 Crystals a pop).  Maen is very excited and makes Lazar promise not to tell anyone about the existence of the book.  Lazar agrees, but he wants Maen to remember that it was he who brought him this gift. 
    Maen reads over the book paying particular attention to Aelle, Eredan’s wife.  She writes that Eredan and her have decided to leave the world of Guem and live alone in peace with their children (she is pregnant at the time of her writing).  She then describes in her writing how Eredan made a floating land where they could look down upon Draconia, Xzia and the Prison of the Néhant. 
    Maen, goes outside, and calculates where one would be able to see the Prison from the sky; and after a while he finds a single cloud that does not move.  That he figures must be Eredan’s secret hide away.  Summoning the power of the air Maen flies up to the island.  It is a peaceful field with trees animals and some surprisingly well kept buildings.  When he lands he is greeted by name by Eredan himself.  Maen is amazed, but the tall man explains that he is not Eredan but a magical assistance that bears his likeness.  Maen asks the construct knows anything about the Gateways and the realm beyond.  The Assistant directs him to the library and directs him to the exact area where those books are kept.  Maen begins reading and ask the Assistant if he can borrow this book. 
“No- if the book leaves it will turn to dust,”
Maen asks what would happen if I were a hostile force,

“I would move the island to safety,”

Maen asks where Aelle is,

“I do not know,”

Then Maen asks for the names of Eredan’s children (not child, Children)

“I cannot tell you that,”

Maen says he understands and begins to read the books – and finds out some amazing information, which is not reviled at this time. 

Will there be a ‘wife of Eredan’ card?
Did all Eredan’s kids get cool masks; or just Cigie?
Why does the artificial Eredan have to say ‘Please state the nature of your Library emergency’ every time he comes on line? 
Mostly I don’t care – and likely you don’t either.

Dark-stone Heart would counter her Nova as well.

No problem; thank you much!

Guess i did not do that part of the translation justice

here is the google translate of the converstaion between Amidaraxar and Nehant:

- Amidaraxar ...

The voice was low as a whisper barely audible.

- There you are, this is unexpected.

- I have little time, the link is very low. Listen to me. The last line holds my body but my mind is elsewhere in another world where I suffer. Takes the magic contained in this body, I worry gift. This will make you powerful and capable of miracles.

- Your body will die if I do that then.

- Do not worry about it and do what I tell you ... I already feel weaken the link, I ...

So Nehant is off beyond past the door to infinity in great suffering (probably having to listen to the Dragon go on and on about his super cool stamp collection) and his body died their on the floor.

O.K.  Time to take a whack at Trans-Story telling; with thanks to Google Translate :

The Demon Tear (who may or may not be Gnarl)  reports to this master Amidaraxar that he had been spying on Azaram and Aerouant during the events of Wrack.  So Amidaraxar knows that he was betrayed by Aerouant but is confused as he did feel his heartstone was corrupted. 
    Edrianne asks if they cannot just summon the lost demons, Azaram and Torment.  Amidaraxar explains that they could but it would leave the bodies behind in the crystal prisons meaning that they could be killed.  Undaunted Amidaraxar commands Edrianne to summon Zejabel and his undead minions.  Amidaraxar examines the prison on his master the Néhant.  Three Chains are broken but  the fourth remains too strong to be broken; but the Crystal of the prison has been weakened. 
    Zejabel arrives and introduces two new Mages to Amidaraxar,  Almaria his wife and the newly risen Ishaia.  (no seriously Ishaia, she says “I am Ishaia, brought by Zejabel I serve now.” Then shows Amidaraxar three forms of Identification).  Amidaraxar instructs them to focus their magic on the crystal that holds the body of Néhant.  Zejabel thinks it is a stupid idea but will help anyway. 
    The crystal is prison is broken and Néhant speaks to Amidaraxar.  He tells him that his body is dieing but his mind will live on, but that his mortal power is now for Amidaraxar.  Amidaraxar takes the power and is now the equal of the Néhant in wisdom and magic.  Zejabel is offered a choice by Amidaraxar, obey without question or flee now and pray I never find you again.  Zejabel agrees to serve but warns Amidaraxar that the dead are his to command.  Amidaraxar summons all the remaining demons and says that this evening they will destroy all of the Xzia empire (Kotoba).  While the demons are cheering for Blood, Zejabel leans over the dead body of Néhant and says, “Oh beautiful corpse, you died and gave your power to another – I must and will know why.”

Will all of Xzia be Destroyed
Will Iron Mask have a better relationship with his father now that he is a living god
Will the Undead and Demons have an ‘Oklahoma’ style musical number so they can get along

Mostly likely none of these answers will be given to you.

are you sure that is not Jodie Foster?

Wow! just checked out the new Release - it is like they made it just for me and this deck.
