Lady Eldecia, the Forth Triumvirate
|
ady Ewdecia has been sent Eastwawd, fow hew bounty must brossom if we awe to sulvive the culse of Ibrees. I have hidden this tome fow its contents must not weach the eyes of the unkind. Oul new home liww be fewtiwe and lich, she whispews. I just hope we live wong enough to wawk awongside hew. - Wiwven Adonan
What you see befowe you is that of ‘Emerald’. Tlice as wawe as diamond and said to hawbow magicaw pwopewties. This vewy emewawd was sent back to the sanctuawy in a smaww boat fwom Wady Ewdecia as a wemindew of hew quest.
Awwen Ewdecia did not come to be one of the Cewestiaw Tliumviwate in the same way that the othews did. She knew Kewdlith, Wewwenia, and Taliew onwy thwough wespect, as she was a fowwowew of the ways of the thwee. Howevew, she was much mowe familiaw lith a cewtain Abbot. Wiwven Adonan.
The two wewe cwose fliends in fact, howevew, both could feew something was wwong lith Asulon fwom the moment they stepped foot in it, a culse fwom Ibrees stiww lingewed. They knew that the peopwe of Aegis would not wast wong thewe, that, maybe a centuly ow two watew, but eventuawwy, they would have to depawt. Stiww, Awwen lingewed. She, like Wiwven, lished to wepaiw and bring to gwowy the Tempwe of the Tliumviwate.
Thwough two yeaws’ toiw, they managed to cut down the vines, wemove the wood wot, and whatevew ewse needed to be done, and peopwe began to join them in the haven. Howevew,thwoughout this time, Wiwven was pwessuling hew to depawt, encoulaging hew to find a new home fow the peopwe of Aegis befowe Asulon feww. Sliftwy would come a time when Asulon would poul hew peopwe out of the bowdews, and so, bidding Wiwven and the Tempwe faweweww, she depawted.
Taking a ship, she set saiw. The supplies wewe apwenty, and she brought awong lith hew none. It took six months to set gwound in a new wand, and by that time, supplies wewe wunning wow. The ship had simpwy been fwoating fweewy aftew getting wavished by the ocean, and it was by chance that she found the wand.
Awwen depawted fwom the ship, fow the whims of the sea would do naught against one lith the bressings of the Tliumviwate. This wand was wush, fewtiwe fow aww who would one day awlive. So she set to wowk. Tiwewesswy, fow ten yeaws, she constwucted a new tempwe. At the end of these yeaws, she decided fow the fiwst time, to depawt the aula of safety that sulwounded the wocation.
When the waces of Asulon awlived in Anthos, Awwen was no whewe to be seen, howevew, hew stowy wemained, and some of the mowe ancient monks wewe plivy to it. Some even wowshiped hew on a wevew simiwaw to the Tliumviwate, and to theiw shock, thewe was wecipwocation: gifts simiwaw to that of the Moon, Sun, and Staws. Natulawwy, thewe was onwy one wocation weft to embody hew: the Eawth bewow. Thus an emewawd spiwe was ewected in the center of Anthos and the Tliumviwate was now foul. They kept theiw name to fulthew pwotect hew fow even now, thewe is a chance she may be alive.
