Silver light shone over the Temple of Justice, and from it the Goddess of Justice, Miramar, made herself known to the gathered throng. Among them, Aegis, Selene, and Makali were present. The Goddess of Destruction gave to Miramar the Sword of Judgement she had forged in anticipation. She offered it with words that may it destroy injustice and separate the just from the unjust. The Goddess of Beauty gave to Miramar a shimmering blindfold as a symbolic gift to the blind nature of Justice. That it strikes without remark to race, gender, or affiliations, instead being equally meted out to all. With this welcoming, she returns to the realms to take her place amongst the Garden. | Silver light shone over the Temple of Justice, and from it the Goddess of Justice, Miramar, made herself known to the gathered throng.

Following odd movements of the Blackrock dwarves, Mhaldorus grew more agitated with the city he defended, demanding they discover the Infernus Occulum, and sending them to Jirken the mad alchemist, who promptly sent them out to Vinia the Black. One long line of conversation later, they were given a journal, which eventually led them to a statue in the Northern Ithmia that held the necklace all along in secret. Recovering the Infernus Occulum, they returned to Mhaldor to put it to use | Following odd movements of the Blackrock dwarves, Mhaldorus grew more agitated with the city he defended, demanding they discover the Infernus Occulum, and sending them to Jirken the mad alchemist, who promptly sent them out to Vinia the Black.

Volandria, a nixie of Riparium, was found collapsed on the bridge to Delos. The quick thinking Shadowsnake who found her, Jaizsur Ta'sa, rushed to get water from the nearby river, reviving the dried up creature. She revealed she had been looking for her sister, who was much more adept at surviving out of water, but was eventually coaxed by Jaizsur to return to Riparium and that he would continue the search on her behalf. Giving Jaizsur a string of pearls, she relented, and traveling to the Gypsy village to the north they discovered an all but impenetrable marsh west of the settlement. It didn't take long to discover a dark castle among the reeds, the estate of the Enverrens. They also discovered an underground system of caverns, and in them, Volandria's sister, who thanked them for sending word on her sister's behalf. The nixie was helped, but the mysteries of Enverren Marsh were only just beginning. | |||

Working with agile fingers by the small altar on cliffs near Tasur'ke, the Matron spun a robe of thread that shimmered like the heavens. Joined by the Crone, and later the Maiden, they sent those gathered to get clay from the beach. The night was illuminated by a strangely bright and full moon, and before long it was clear as to why. As the ritual was completed, a bolt of lightning tore into the finished robe, and Ourania, the Goddess of the Moon had made her presence known once more to the realms, as the Maiden, Matron, and Crone vanished, their work completed. | |||
Exerting his presence on the world above ground, Lirthak, the leader of a previously unknown race called the Gnoll, decided he wanted something fresh to eat. Dispatching slavers to the surface, the pair headed first to Minia only to be rebuffed, then to Actar, capturing Blossom. A motley crew of Cyrenians responded, and searching the hills of Sapience for any entrance to the Gnoll's home, they eventually found it in the Granite Hills. There, they confronted Lirthak who refused to release the girl, and resorting to more aggressive negotiations, slew the gnoll who tried to stop them from recovering the girl. Eventually Blossom and her aunt Merrygold were reunited, and Manara Burrow now clear to the whole of Sapience, where the gnoll had enslaved the mingruk, among others. | |||

Vellis has long being a fixture in our lives, and early one morning, seeing no novice needed him at the time, he decided to take a walk and stretch his legs. While passing through the Aureliana Forest, he was approached by a beggar looking for alms, and when Vellis granted the man's request favourably, his thanks was a rock to the head. Crying out when he came to that he had been stolen from, adventurers from all over Sapience rushed to his aid. Eventually the man was found and brought to justice, and the item stolen returned to Vellis where it belonged. A magnificent little chest was given back to the butterfly collector, and after the group pressing as to what was inside, he relented that as a child, he had stumbled onto the [[Grotto of the Butterflies]], and inside the chest was the first butterfly he had ever caught from it, all those years ago. Returning to their work, all was normal again in the countryside. | |||
