A Call to Arms

Lately, there have numerous sightings of daeva and other beasts within the land of Goa. Some of you may have seen them. The seven noble families have been seeking ways to deal with these monsters. Currently they are meeting in the capital city, Adrian.

Each of you has recieved summons to the Hall of Seven Cranes, the meeting place of the seven.

The Hall is a fairly simple structure and appears to be a single story, rounded structure.

The quiet sound of metal meeting stone can be briefly heard before the doors to the Hall are gently opened. A half-elf in simple robes quietly walks in, keeping his head down and listening for the presence of others in the building.

A voice softly sounds from about two feet in front of the half-elf: "Welcome, kind sir. Are you one of the summoned?"

Not too long after, the Hall doors are opened again. A half-beast (human-goat) walks into the hall. Her ears flicker nervously as she trots up through the building. The bright colors of her clothing make her stand out more than she wants.

Before the door can shut fully, an abnormally large clawed hand catches the door, pushing it back open with just a bit too much force. A ratman much larger than he should be stands in the door looking sheepish from his disturbance of the quiet hall. Seeing the half elf in simple robes he lumbers his way over to his side, his walk awkward from his large misshapen body.

The soft voice offers a greeting to the young girl and ratman as well: "Welcome, miss and sir. Are you also of the summoned?"

The owner of the voice is a petite young woman with dark, curling hair. Her eyes are a bright blue, emphasized by the orange and yellow of her dress. She seems unfazed by the size of such a large ratman.

The half-elf stopped and nodded. "My friend and I were requested to find our way here." He said, motioning to the ratman who had just come in. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Fëanor Kurufinwë."


(I may switch tense frequently, just a warning)

The goat girl smiles. "It appears we were all summoned here. I am Rina. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

She smiles softly: "I am pleased to welcome you all here. My name is Ina and the clan leaders have sent me to escort you to the meeting room. Fëanor, Rina, and Bartholomew, come with me please."

(You all can optionally make a Knowledge Roll to see if you recognize who Ina is. Roll a d20, a passing roll will be equal to or less than your level in that skill (Knowledge falls under the INT stat).)

Rina cannot recall having ever heard of a girl named Ina.

However, Fëanor has.

The doors to the hall open again with a loud bang. A tall, gangly elf woman races through while nearly tripping over her own feet. "Wait, wait for me!" As she nears the group she skids to a halt. She has pale skin and brown hair falling just below her chin. A small set of glasses is set crookedly on the end of her nose and she looks quite rushed and haphazard. "Sorry, sorry! I lost track of the time."

"It is perfectly alright: I don't think the clan heads specified the time too terribly well. Now what is your name, miss?"

She blushes faintly and fixes her glasses in an attempt to present a more put together visage. "Elara Antia, at your service." She inclines her head slightly awkwardly at the group.
