Hajer shook his head as he refocused himself on the present.

Other than reflecting on what he could have done better, it was more critical to focus on his immediate goal.

Now that he was on within the Buttresses, he had to find a way on that Librareiter's island.

That was his best, and fastest ticket to the Grand Blade.

Part of his degenerate ways include the mummification and enthrallment of the adventurers and explorers he slew to populate Seruk into the cursed city of undead it is now infamous for being.

Seruk was home to numerous ancient sorcerers who served the line of old Silver Kings of 54 generations who were all buried in opulent mausoleums locked within sand and shadow.

Ilu-Agar was said to be an insane archaeologist who dabbled in necromancy and managed to transplant his soul within the body of a mummified Silver noble, and had since stood vigil in the ancient city, building his horde of undead in what he claims to be the safeguarding of ancient treasures.

#Tale25 #Calamupa_Gathering_Dew

Hajer walked down an alleyway silently with a calm expression.

Not too long ago he had by a great stroke of luck managed to sneak past the stationed guards while the two giant boars chasing him were rampaging in the township square he was in.

Considering the how the square was set up, with pikemen in formation and barricades set up, it appearaed that the guards there were prepared for whatever was coming their way.

#Lore25 #Ulrunir

An illness that indicates gradual wasting of the eyes. Bearers of the disease are said to see the afterburns of numerous closely packed dark holes whenever they close their eyes. The cause is said to be due to over exposure to the light of the sun. However, Ascetics of Shur-Qamet walking the Path of Light see Gravelsight as the first stage of enlightenment.

"Oh! I know! It's to protect them!"

Shurmo could see her grandson's eyes brighten as he turned to her and spoke.

"Gramma! Can you teach me how you made that?"

"Are you sure? It's quite hard!"

"I wanna try!"

Shurmo's smile widened as she patted her grandson's head.

#Lore25 #Ulrunir

One of the most notorious criminals said to have come from Lal-Mit.

Known to be a deviant illusionist who mastered a particularly deadly spell known as Mistcleaver, which is said to be able to paralyze people in fear by imparting a gruesome illusion of oneself being cut apart by a mist of tiny cleavers.

She is known for numerous counts of kidnapping and tincturing highly dangerous potions made of ingredients rumored to be parts of her victims.

#Tale25 #Calamupa_Gathering_Dew

"It is a fort, my dear."

"A fawt?"

"Yes, we used to live near one, do you remember?"

"Oh ya! Was big, taww an pink!"

Shurmo couldn't help but smile as she saw her grandson smiling.

"But this one isn that big..." Yeiluma spoke as he approached the fort to look at it closer.

"Can you guess why?"

"Nnnn...."

While Hanur-Alat's left forearm was dismembered by Hanur-Tomul, in a fit of rage for his derision and lack of respect, many years later, it was Hanur-Alat who triumphed in the succession wars and became known as the One-armed King, whose exploits are greatly romanticized to this day.

#Tale25 #Calamupa_Gathering_Dew

Soon, her work was complete and she gazed upon it with a faint smile.

It had been a while since she had personally shaped using Grain, but she still felt she had decent control over the skill.

Soon, she heard sounds of sobbing soften as she heard muddy footsteps coming from behind her.

"Gramma, what's that?" Yeiluma asked.

While the acqueduct no longer carries water, it casts a large shadow and provides a shaded path the travels leagues between Ninur-Sin and An-Ligir.

The site is also frequently visited by scholarly processions from Lal-Mit hoping to glean the secrets of Tonal magic from the ancient king's work.

He was punished by Divine Lightning which dashed his work, and it was said he was inspired by this divine indictment and pledged a life of servitude to his people, building many works of infrastructure that have endured even the winds of time.

The acqueduct is named after Sunnuru, a barley farmer who asked the Enslaved King for water to be brought to his land.

#Lore25 #Ulrunir

Ruins of a colossal aqueduct which once transported water from the Dry Lakes, during the Age of Petty Kingdoms. Said to be the work of Arartu the Enslaved King, said to have been a distant ancestor of the renowned Heroic Slave Shal-Adul.

Once, Arartu sought to build a great tower from the secrets of Tonal Magics he learned in secret, hoping to enter the Higher Realms.

#Tale25 #Calamupa_Gathering_Dew

Though the Shaping Grain was not Shurmo's forte, she deemed herself decent at the art, and could conjure simple crafts from most materials - enough to be used for various needs like carrying water and supplies.

Back in the Darkwaters, she could have simply ordered or commissioned Grainshapers who were able to conjure works much greater and of a more nuanced taste - but what she needed know was something functional.

#Lore25 #Ulrunir

A mythical creature of a large tortoise with spiral scales which concentrate into conical horns at its elbows.

Said to be an omen of stability - as it is sometimes witnessed in swampland, rivers and ponds at the start of new empires.

It is said that Petty King Susunin of Ancient Kanartu once commissioned the construction of a colossal tortoise pavilion for this reason - and during that time, the slaughter of tortoises was outlawed.

A faint smile formed on her lips as she swept her sleev in the direction of the fallen branch, causing a wall of mud to rise around it except for an opening on one end facing the inner arc of where a bowstring would be strung if one were to imagine the branch as a bow.
