Prologue

[Patories]

Tamerlin spends the next few days gathering supplies and documentation for the group, copies of everything he feels is important for the journey to find the hidden land. He places large bound tomes that appear to be covered with shimmering crystals and blue metals. The text on the outside is in a script that you are sure you have never seen, but Tamerlin makes sure to have them placed in the bags before you get a chance to study them.
”You will be able to read these on your voyage, right now we must pack.”
The bags that they are placed in appear to be made from the skins of some exotic beast.

By the fourth day he has packed everything that he believes you will need. On the morning of the 5th day you are awoken to the aroma of breakfast rising from the kitchen. The air is filled with fresh baked breads, and cooked meats. When you finally arrive to the dining hall you can see a large feast prepared before you. You do notice that all of the dishes are dishes that you have never seen or smelled before, but some of them do look interesting.

After you sit down at the table, a tall and slender female with pale green skin and hair, golden eyes and gorgeous features, enters from the kitchen area.

”Good Morning, I am Celene. Allow me a few minutes to explain the exotic food that you will partake in. The food is from my homeland. Our bread is called Provider Bread.” she points to the bread as she continues, “It Possess a "nutty" flavor and a texture like moist sponge, few aromas set the mouth watering like the smell of freshly baked provender bread. It is served with the majority of common meals, adding bulk and substance to any dish. Of course, it can become bland if over-baked, so many eateries add a touch of something extra so that each slice holds a few tasty morsels. Examples include spice, tiny pieces of fruit, vegetables, and even fish or meat. “ She next points the platters of meat, ” The meat is from the Durge, a common domestic livestock from my lands, the meat is extremely thick, red and strong flavored, and is usually marinated before roasting to soften the flesh slightly. Each platter is a different marinade for the Durge meat, ranging from sweet to spicy.” Finally she points to the plate of cheese, ”This is Erd Cheese and is found in a stunning number of varieties. Smoked Erd cheddar is extremely popular in Cymril, the cheese taking on a slight flavoring from the wood it is smoked with. The most popular smoking wood is from the spice tree, which gives the cheese a ginger tang. Texture varies greatly too, from the mild and crumbly Aarello of Aaman, to the zingy black pepper flavor of Zoldi in Zandu.” And as if on queue a few servants enter from the kitchen carrying fruits and vegetables, ”We also have fruit and Vegetables as well that are from local merchants.”

She leaves the party to continue their breakfast. Near the end of breakfast Tamerlin enters the dining hall. ” Good Morning, I was just stopping to tell you that the mounts will be ready to take you to Port in a couple of hours, where you should meet Captain Hearth and the crew of the Chameleon, he has directions to where to start the search. On board he will also give you the rest of the information that is needed at that time. When the Chameleon gets to the destination they will unload you and you will be on your own.” he takes a small breath waiting for any questions, before excusing himself.

Mikal ponders in silent prayer to Ioun, as he often does, "Hmmm, I must fulfill this holy quest given to me by the grace of Ioun; but are these people around me here to aid me or hinder me? Could one of them be a dreadful agent of Mystra? Are they here for the some goals as me, or do they only seek to further fool a man already surrounded by the cursed mist of secrets?"

His thoughts, however, are put on hold as he looks at Tamerlin arriving and speaking his quick words. Mikal throws him a friendly smile. Oh yes! Good morning dear friend, how did the night treat you?, without even giving him a chance to properly reply, And I was wondering, what will the course of our sea voyage be? Where lies the first step in our quest?
