Episode 2, Scene 4 Sneak Peek #5
🕑 Added 2022-03-16 17:44:28 +0000 UTCThere's going to be a lot of lore in the next update. Here's a bit of it:
“The Astrial’s been sitting in Diradan Tower for hundreds of years. Why hasn’t the Guild tried to use it before? Why now?”
“There was no reason,” Umbria says. “The staff was dormant, its magic dead. It was little more than a relic of the past, an empty husk coveted for its historical importance.”
“What changed?” Aeran asks, examining his nails as he feigns casual disregard. He doesn’t fool you; you know him too well. Something in Umbria’s explanation has caught his attention.
“The magic returned. Slowly but surely, like the regrowth of a forest decimated by fire. It was small at first, barely noticeable, but over the course of decades it gathered its strength and… awoke.”
“Awoke? What do you mean, awoke?”
“Merely a turn of phrase, Wayfarer Kellis. The Council of Mages has watched the staff’s awakening for three decades. Our agents in Erenvor, Tol Covere, and Nesactium have confirmed similar reactions within their Astrials. We don’t know what caused it, but we are certain the Astrials are connected. What happens to one, happens to all.”
