    Default Sun Hunters

    In the light it hides, thriving upon the blindness of the observer. Only the shadow can reveal it, but those we seek it, scare it away with their lanterns. Pelor is the god of light, but without him, there would be no shadow...

    The Eye Sunguise knows all, yet hides everything and nothing at the same time. While other Sunguises keep how they are still Sunguises after all these years, and have not died of old age, the Eye has his agents roam free, making his method not so secret.

    Due to the central location of the Eye Region and the general neutrality of the Sunguise, as in, blackmail, traders of the Eye are the only ones that are free to roam the continent, trading with other regions. Attacks on the traders are rare, but bandit or Hunter attacks do happen from time to time. The responsible crew rarely lives for long after such an offense, which caused some Hunters to view attacking the Eye traders as a challenge. The Eye Hunters are forbidden from attacking the traders, of course, but catching offenders is a quick way for them to gain some favor from the Eye.

    Clara Noctem, the capital of the Eye Region, is a vast city in the center of the region. In the very center of the city lies the Grand Church of Pelor, Clara Lux. Besides being the worship center of Pelor, the other deities have humble chapels here, as to not offend them, the clerics train and live here, and all government function happens here. Clara Lux is considered one of the great marvels of the Creber Caedis continent, towering over the land and almost rivaling the Darastix Mountain itself. Yet, this is not where the Eye resides. Nobody knows where his base of operation is, if one exists.

    And yet, this is not where your initiation into the Eye Hunters happens. It is not as grand as you might have hoped.

    As soon as you were told that you are ready and should consider joining the Hunters, perhaps your mentor, perhaps even a stranger who noticed your skill, you were contacted the very next day. A small man in simple black cloaks and simple white embroidery at the edges came to you. You knew this man, or at least, one of him. This was one of the Eye's clones. He had many, of varying ages. Bodies who walked, talked and even thought by themselves, yet had no soul. And when the Eye needed a new body, he picked one of them as his next vessel, and continued to rule the region. And now one of his clones approached you, holding a small book. As you flipped through the pages, you realized that it was your book. It contained everything about you, every little peace. Some of your deepest thoughts were there... Halfway through, the pages become blank. A story yet unwritten. You flip back through the pages, looking for the last of the writings, until you find it.

    "And then he singed the contract, becoming a Hunter and swearing to the Eye."

    Well, they could have written that a bit more eloquently, but it worked well enough. Though starting a sentence with "and"? Perhaps it was not the time to criticize their penmanship, either.

    A few days later, in a humble, local church of Pelor, in a small neighborhood near the outer walls of Clara Noctem, you are told to gather. You sit there, listening to the priest talk of Pelor's teachings, as you are called into a side room. There you stand, among your fellow Hunters, the clone standing uncomfortably in front of you, in a small bedroom belonging to the priest who is still preaching on the other side of the door.

    He shifts about and coughs, seemingly impatient, as the room is filled with a bright light, so strong that even after closing your eyes, you can feel it burn through your eyelids. Before your vision returns to you, you feel a hand on your back, pushing you down a set of stairs that were not there a moment ago.

    As you regain sight, you find yourself in a dimly lit room. Low ceiling and bare bricks, you can see the potential of screaming victims as someone performs a bloody ritual, cackling...

    An Elan sits on a chair by a small table. A simple chug and a candle stand there, and nothing else. He looks at you silently, examining you for a moment.

    Elans were... An enigma, perhaps. A couple of thousand years ago, when the Fey still roamed the land, torturing mortals, a group of men and woman decided to find a way to oppose them. They disappeared into an ancient forest only to come back, different. The Elans gained immortality and powers that could fight the Fey, drive them out of the land and help the mortals build a footing in the continent, to live free of the Fey tyranny. The powers that they used were taught to the mortals, allowing them to unlock the potential of the mind, which they called Psionics. Since then, Elans gained an almost divine stature. They were exempt from the laws of the land and were free to travel as they wished. They were almost gods among men. It was rare for the Elans to accept others into their fold, turning mortals into Elans, so most that lived, were from the time of the Fey. Nobody knew what the Elans thought of the splitting of the continent and the rule of the Sunguises, because you would rarely see an Elan align himself with either King or Sunguise. Yet, some did.

    This one, did.

    Eternal Armade was one of the few who became an Elan after the war against the Fey, but as his title suggested, not long after. He lived his share of centuries, and he did not want people to forget that. Elans don't use their titles among mortals, but Armade did. He aligned himself with the Eye because he wanted to know, he wanted to see, he wanted to own. Hair deep green, pale skin with blue hue to it and deep black eyes, his clothes just as much a contrast to your surroundings as he himself. Fancy and delicate green embroidery covered his red fluffy shirt and sea-blue pants. His hair reaching almost his shoulders had two intertwining braids on both side of his head and a white gold circlet with a blue gemstone adorned his forehead.

    After a few moments of silence, he nods and looks at the clone, who seems to shrink from the gaze.

    "Mas- Excuse me, Eternal Armade, has requested that the next group of Hunters would be assigned to him. Hunters are usually free to choose their own tasks, and you are still allowed to reject requests... Technically." The clone says with a grimace. He looks so much smaller under the penetrating black eyes of Armade. "But if you wish the gain the favor of the Eye, it would be advised not to. At least not with a very good reason." He says.

    Armade stands up. "He calls himself Hundred Twenty Four," the Elan says, waving at the clone, "but the Sunguise is such a bore when it comes to names, so call this one Preppity Proops." He waves his hands about, not minding the now red hue of the clone. "Usually the Hunters get a bunch of trinkets to identify themselves as such, but I decided to test you first. Preppity would here like me to remind you that this is not mandatory and you are free to leave and choose to get your trinkets anyway, so... I'm reminding you. Don't worry, after the test I'll give you some time before the next task, and I wouldn't say I'm too demanding." He glances at the clone, as if expecting him to agree or object, before continuing.

    "One of the elderly priests at Clara Lox had a granddaughter... There was some debacle with her channeling demons and she fled. However, she stole one of the eight Swords of Eternal Light, swords that belonged to the eight Elans who led the assault on the fey. She was captured and sentenced to death, before the discovery. Eight years ago. The sword was not found, but one of the rituals to find some information has finally bore fruit. She had a son, and he is the one who currently carries the sword. We don't know anything about this son of hers, except that he is still within Clara Noctem. Do whatever you need to find him. I'm sure you won't have a hard time finding an eight year old boy carrying an ancient and powerful relic..." Eternal Armade draws out his longsword. It shines in the light of the torchlight, filling the room with a tingling sensation of power. The metal, while surely iron, has a dark golden hue to it. From the golden hilt spread twisting snakes, coiling around each other to form the crossguard. "This is, sadly, only a replica. But as even it would stand out, I'm sure you should be able to find a kid with it. If you are going to be an Eye Hunter, such a task ought to be simple for you." He finishes and turns to look at Preppity.

    The clone looks around, before motioning to something to approach. What might have been mistaken as a play of the light is now revealed to be an actual creature, as a shadow approaches you across the floor. "This is Ovel. He is a shadow, but... Evolved, improved. Shadows are undead creatures that normally can't talk or extort force on anything, but Ovel can. He doesn't have much strength, but enough for some simple manipulation. He'll be keeping an eye on you and reporting to Eternal Armade, and the Eye. But he'll also help you with anything you need, within his powers, if you ask..."

    "Everything clear?" Armade stands up.

    It isn't often you learn that the Sunhunter you're working for has someone else behind them.
    But, it also isn't often you learn your connection's been cut and submit to a new Sunguise.

    The quest though, was puzzling.
    "I have a feeling you already know where he is, and that is why this is only a test. What are the chances that the sword will be being returned to him or a similar person, to test others?"
    Abbant wracks his mind for anything he knows as to the aforementioned Granddaughter... Like race, remaining family... Before giving in and reaching into his bag for a book, before calming his mind, knowing he can look for it later.

    Marius listens to the Elan speak and is entranced, if only briefly. To a psion such as himself, the Elans were the penultimate desire and potential of every psion that ever lived. To be immortal and all powerful, to be such a demi god, is a goal the young princeling dreamed to attain. It was a dream that he would accomplish one way or another, his service to the Eye would be just one stepping stone on his path to godhood and kingship, he knew it within his very soul.

    After the clone finishes his speaking Marius speaks, as he does he speaks in a voice that is both as clear and cold as water flowing down a river; and just as a river seems pleasant, there is an inherent lethal quality to it as well. "The books you gave us, are those the only copies of them or do you have more, Number 124? Furthermore what information do we have on this wayward son of a witch? What does he look like, where was he last seen, how do we know he remains in the capital? How has he evaded the eyes of the Eye?"

    "What are the powers of this sword ?" The Cloaked figure on the furthest right asked, removing his hood. With a face of Tanned skin and soft textures, it was easy to recognize him as one of the Desert dwelling human. "Does the boy know what it holds ? For it to be used in a war against such entities, i assume it will be quite powerful. Can the boy use them ?"

    Ellyrion would not Desire to harm a child if he was no threat. But if it looked for revenge….Or the sword was intelligent as many powerful magical items and manipulated it….It was a different story. Still, he hoped he could resolve the matter peacefully

    "Those are the only written copies." 124 says, nodding to Marius.

    Eternal Armade looks at Abbant with a feint smile, one that does not reach his pure black eyes. "There are eyes, and there are hands. Contrary to other Sunguises, this one likes his hands to have eyes as well. However, those who are focused to be eyes still do a better job at knowing than those who are required to act." He motions to Ovel. "The eyes gather information so we know where to send the hands. We see the boy, but he still manages to slip between the fingers of the guards. Besides you, the other hands are far away, and this has been the situation for years. Those that have brought you here, Abbant, are the first to come back for a while, and they were still on a mission so we could not use them. This will be a test of your eyes, ears and hands."

    He turns to Marius. "He is here because he cannot evade the guards to leave through the gates. Even if they know not of his appearance, the sword stands out too much. Without its scabbard, which is still within Clara Lux, it is impossible for him to hide the light." He pauses with a smile. "No, he did not leave the blade behind. Giving more information would ruin the fun... I have waited for eight years. I'm patient enough to wait a few more days."

    He turns back to Abbant. "Obtaining the information is your test, obtaining the sword is your job."

    Armande examines Ellyrion for a moment. "The sword has powers, yes, but to use even the most simple of its functions would require the right mind-" He motions at Marius offhandedly, "and training. The kid is unlikely the have the first, and definitely not the latter. Once you catch the boy, detaining him should be a simple task. Although if you care for such things, I'd kill him right there. The Inquisition is unlikely to go easy on the son of a demon-hostess."

    Elariel, after signing the book, knowing that it would lead to greater knowledge(Like how the sunguise learned the rest of the information about her), headed back into the city, feeling cold outside of the desert. At the church of Pelor, she sits there in the pews, smirking, knowing that the priest told only half the story. The sun brought life, but to anyone who lived in a desert, it was a deadly foe as well. Not that this priest mentioned that. Or of Pelor's habit of sending inquisitors to places they had no place. But, then, honesty from one of these priests was a rare thing, done entirely by accident.

    Finally, things change, and they are stunned, and brought to another chamber, where their new employer explained things. After he finishes, and several others, including her brother, ask questions, she asks the more relevant one, for knowing the past leads to knowing the future.
    "How was the sword stolen? It seems to be that such relics would be well guarded by the one using them. Simply walking in, taking it, and then walking out seems unlikely."

    Armade looks grim at the question. "The details of that are sadly lost to us. That room's shadow was killed and destroyed completely, no method of information gathering worked. The Inquisition got hold of her before any of our agents could get to her, and they wanted to get rid of her as quickly as possible, to cover up the fact that she was the granddaughter of one of the high ranking priests. After she was hanged, no information could be obtained from her. We tried... We concluded that it was part of the demons' plan and that they somehow blocked our magic. We interrogated the priest, but he did not seem to be involved in the plot and he seemed genuinely sorry that she was swept under the rug so quickly, even if she was working with demons. The guards that were positioned by the swords at the time were found dead, in compromising positions... She was not known for her abilities of seduction, so a succubus being at play, in one form or another, is also a likely possibility. With the wards placed on Clara Lux, our estimation is that she had called the demons to her and they shapeshifted to something that she could bring inside. Unfortunately, everyone thought highly of her until the incident, and she had not been required to go through the security measures that other visitors needed to."

    The Eight Swords of Light are legendary, yet besides the fact that they were wielded by the original Elan in their assault against the Fey, little is known. One can look at them during his visit to Clara Lux, but nobody alive except the same Elan has ever seen them in use. Only rumors of their capabilities exist, for the Elan do not like to share the specifics of their powers to those who are unworthy, and those who are, are sworn to secrecy.

    "So you have no idea what happened."
    From Elariel, that was a statement of fact. However, after a brief pause, she continues.
    "It occurs to me that if getting the sword was the goal of the so called demons, and I say so called since no one seems to have actually seen them, it is likely that the sword would have been sent elsewhere. But it was not. Perhaps the goal was to get the sword to her son, and whatever force was helping her earlier is helping him to stay hidden. No 8 year old could hide for his entire life, on his own. Someone or something was protecting him. And that something would appear to be either the inquisition, or demons. Both are quite similar. Have you searched the inquisition, to see if they are hiding the boy, or have the sword?"

    "As I have said before," Armade says rather impatiently, "we know where the boy is. We know he still has the sword, yet no ability to use it. I have also said that the reason that we do not have the sword is that all of the Hunters are currently on other missions, and with the sword being in the city, it wasn't urgent. You aren't told everything about the boy, because I want to see if you are capable of finding out on your own. As for others aiding him, of course. That much is obvious. He was just a babe when his mother died. He was raised by others, who are not demons. If you find them, you might make use of them in tracking the boy."

    "Before, you said the inquisition would like to get his hands on the boy " Ellyrion said "So, i suppose they are looking for it as well. Is there any chence this will have….Implications on our investigation ? Do they know that the task is on our hands ? I certainly would not like some men of the cloth sticking their noses while they search for it.". He glanced to his sister, sinking his head in awkward shamefulness.

    In fact, he would not like it at all. Ellyrion had a quite a hatred for inquisitors of any religion. As a student of the Diamond mind Disciple, he tried to control his emotions at the best of his ability. Indeed, at his nineteen year he could count on the fingers of his one hand the moments he had let his emotions overtake his good judgement.

    After the inquisitor that arrived on his village tried to kill Elaria and the shaman, he had to start counting on the other hand.

    "The Inquisition knows that of the sword and the boy, but nothing of importance. The only thing we told them is that he is within the city, so they did not expand any resources towards finding him, trusting that they will inform them if there are any issues on that front. I did not give them many choices. No measly grand priest outranks one such as I." He says, a hint of a satisfied smile touching his lips. "Don't worry, unless you drive the child into the public, screaming at him for stealing the sword and conspiring with demons, you are unlikely to be noticed by Pelorites."

    Idiot. He wants something done, but is unwilling to share the information to actually see it done. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since, after all, no one with information really wants to share it. Perhaps this plan of mine wasn't such a good once.
    Elariel looks annoyed with the Elan's refusal to share information, but she smiles at him.
    "Of course. After all, you wanted us to gather information, yes? Not to use it?"

    When Ellyrion reminds her of the actions of the inquisitor, she winces. She still didn't know where the inquisitor had found enough wood for that fire. But she was safe now, and no inquisitor was going to hurt her again.

    "Are you incapable of grasping the concept of a test, child?" Armade snaps. "This is a controlled environment, one in which if you fail, the consequences would be minimal. I wish to see you in action and to know if you will be of use to me. Just because you are accepted as a Hunter, does not mean that. The sword will be retrieved, regardless of your ability. So understand this: I give you an opportunity to prove yourself. It's not an opportunity for me to get the sword. You aren't from around here, so I shall let this slip, this time. Understand this, desert girl, that I have a lot of influence. If you want to join your flaming chicken brethren, you will know your place."

    Human being's in a mob, what's a mob to a king, what's a king to a god, what's a god to a nooooooooon-believer Noegle was quitely singing as he passed the building labeled with "CHAPEL OF CORELLON LARETHIAN" on his way to the local church of pelor. Against his better judgement he had decided to wear his own skin today. At least on the outside. It wasn't that the other skins were uncomfortable.. it was just that no skin was as amazing as his own. The perfectly straight dark eyebrows, the sharp nose and the deep brown eyes that could make even the stuborn people comply to his wishes. Nothing like him. He had chosen to use the earrings with the pelor symbol today, not because he was particularly religious but he felt it made him look more mysterious.

    As he was about to enter the chapel he could feel the subtle urge to grind his butt against the nearby wall, comming from the animal under his skin. This was one of the many things that he wouldn't have dreamed about sharing with anyone and the bigger his suprise was when he read about it in his book.

    --

    When he sees the fellos hunters he sends them his innocent smile. A very warmhearting smile. One of those smiles that instantly makes you want to please this innocent young gentleman. Hi

    The light is particularly painful to him because his third skin has incredible vision. Suppose there's a backside to all medals.

    --

    When he finally regains vision he is suprised by the Elan. I thought those were just a myth he. He looks right back into Eternal's stern gaze and tries to gather what he can about him based on appearance. He'd imagined Elans radiating light so this one was a slight disappointment. But his style!! Even though Noegle was wearing one of his most fashionably advanced outfit this guy surpassed him. And that is before noticing the yellow-black shoes. His lips goes slightly from each other and he supresses a shout Is that Ormani? That man is a genious, those shoes are worth more than everything I am wearing combined!
    He is almost as suprised when he hears how much respect the SUNGUISE have for the costly dressed elan.

    "Flaming….Chicken ?" Ellyrion almost hissed, but regained his composure. One must find Calm within himself even in the most unstable conditions, such as the bird finds Refuge in the eye of a raging storm the voice of his teacher resounded within himself, He still had no idea what a storm is, or it's eye for that matter. Probably a very big creature if a bird could fit in it's eye.

    He took a deep breath and raised his head, his gaze filled with an unnerving calm.

    Abbant suppresses, not entirely successfully, the urge to chuckle.
    "It appears all are clear, even if it appears some would rather skip it, my curiosity was more should it happen to be a standing test." Abbant bows his head slightly in respect as he speaks, mirth absent from his tone.

    "Should you have nothing more for us, it seems I have a date with a priest and a occasionally empty tome, and we have a date with a young boy."
    It is only after the words have left his mouth that he realises what he's just said... He keeps his face admirably blank though.

    Noegle is suprised by the lack of manners from the savage girl. He use the time they are being angry at each other to evaluate his option in the boy-hunt. Reminds him of the anual Hunt, except the prey was more mature there.

    Elariel smiles softly at the man's gaffe.
    "And that is why no one likes priests. They seem nice, until they want to stick things in you, or light you on fire."

    "Good thing I'm not a priest then, however if I was him I'd be more worried about my guardians in the instance of sticking... And I've never gotten the fire thing."
    Abbant speaks slightly slower after his gaffe, as if considering his sentence first.

    Elariel nods.
    "Then let us hope that you refrain. Now, since we aren't going to be getting anything useful from that fellow, why don't we get started?"
    You can hear the scorn in her voice for that fellow quite plainly. Once she finishes, she turns around, looking for the exit.

    Noelge is a bit uncomfortable. Talking casually in such an important situation, ignoring the man feared by sunguises in front of them. There is at least 10 breaches of manners here. He looks for at the Elan to see how he reacts. This should tell something about his personality.

    The black eyes stare coldly at Elariel. "I let it slip once. I warn you. You will not talk to me in such a way, or you will suffer. Is that understood?" Eternal Armade says sternly. He stands, his hands clasped behind his back. There is no challenge there, only a promise. Of pain.

    Elariel looks at him, no fear showing in her eyes.
    "I believe I understand you perfectly. I was not, after all, talking to you."

    With that, she turns, and leaves.

    Dang! Owned peasant girl Noelge shouts in his head, while mentally high-fiving himself.

    His amusement promptly stops when he hears her reply. He is very cautious about not showing how much he pays attention to the answer from the millenia old Elan and instead studies the other hunter's clothing.

    Sliver I think you missed my sence motive roll to see how trustworthy the Elan is. Roll was 28

    As Elariel turns, but before she manages to leave, Armade speaks again. "It matters not who you are talking to. You will not address me as that fellow, ever. In or without my presence. It will be a shame if I'll have to kill your brother, just to teach you a lesson, don't you think?"

    Not having been taken from the room as Abbant expected, and suprised by the girls lack of annihilation, Abbant instead bows to the Elan while remaining silent, then turns to look for an exit to a room whose entrance was missing moments ago, leaving should one appear.

    Elariel turns back, now quite angry.
    "It isn't polite to refer to someone by name when they have not introduced themselves. Any child would know that. And if you harm my brother..."
    She lets the threat sink in for a moment.
    "You would regret that choice. Demanding respect is not the same as earning it."

    "I have earned my position." Armade says. "The fact that I am who I am is proof enough. I do not need to account for my actions for you. As you know my name perfectly well, referring to me as 'that fellow' is not the more polite option. And as you have been warned enough..." He says, glancing at Ellyrion for a brief instance.

    Elariel and Ellyrion, make a will save. (Mind affecting, and you are flat-footed)

    Noegle is growing increasingly annoyed with the filthy casual. His training in correct manners does however stop him from showing his feelings while someone as Eternal is around.
