| On a recent trip to the Archives of Zequan I found a curious page, obviously ripped from one book and stuck in another. It was a page from the journal of Duiker, and I have reproduced it exactly here: Later that night I met with Rimbol. He was still waiting for Calistarius to finish his tasks, and, as he was wont to do, summoned a bottle of liquor. He never told me where the bottles came from, preferring to answer my questions with a wink, but the night after a good bender left many publicans scratching their head the next day at vanishing stock. Rimbol was a tight-lipped man, already a demigod at this point and immensely powerful. But for some reason that night, whether because of the booze or his boredom, he told me a story. The Warlord, it turned out, was messing with a power fairly well understood to Rimbol. It was the power to Ascend. This is the power to leave behind your mortal body and achieve true immortality, to gain powers beyond belief. The problem, he explained, was that Ascending is the power of the Elder Gods. Rimbol said Siva didn't care much about mortals, but if Smote were to find new Ascendants his wrath would be extraordinary. At this point Rimbol passed out. He left very little in the bottle for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the end of the pages left in that book. I will continue to try and find more. |
