Five years passed. Nothing was heard from the Empire. The Exiles decided that it was time to return to the surface. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They
built a teleporter and formed Upper Exile a new series of caves just
below the surface. They then selected someone to explore the surface
for the first time: You. |
|
|
You
stare out at an unpleasantly familiar sight: you're back in Exile. You
don't see any towns or settlements, but you know these trees and
mushrooms all too well. You don't know whether you're near Upper Exile,
or the Exile far below. |
|
|
|
Your testing was extensive and very painful. Your briefing was considerable ... and confusing. |
|
|
Although
you don't see any towns from your vantage point, there is a crude trail
heading off to the west. It soon fades out, but that's seems as good a
direction to search for the Orb of Thralni as any. |
|
|
|
You
were sent up to Fort Emergence in Upper Exile. You are to go see
someone named Anaximander to get your orders, and then go up to the
surface. |
