The Archaeologists of Aegis

[Sporadic 2801]

Sabet, 28th of Snows Maiden, 1316:

We are starting to uncover multiple grottos that may have served as cave dwellings and hiding spaces for the dark elves. These caverns seem damp and cramped, and I would abhor spending just one night in one of them. The original inhabitants must have used them out of necessity, perhaps a fear of being found if they spend too much time above the surface.

One of the caverns is directly below the largest tree of the village, baring its roots and the water that feeds it. I wonder if the elves tampered with this pool of water in some way, in order to have the tree grow to its unusual vastness.

Spending too much time in this grotto makes me ill at ease, my senses urging me to leave. This feeling might be the remnant of an ancient spell ment to keep intruders out. If this is true, I can only assume that within this grotto is something the former owners did not want to be found.

*Nails a note that reads:*

Hail, a good time ago, one of your historians was found wondering about nearly lost in the woodland near by capital of Nuremburg. Upon taking him in, he had divulged his intention and the map that guided him, knowing the lay of the land I most amicably assisted him in anyway I can. He was a kind fellow, one whose name I sadly forgot at the moment of writing this, but he gave me a hope that I was much curious in delving into. I have come to realize that there are men in the world who truly seek knowledge to progress, to advance, and to reform what we have done in the past into better circumstances in the future.

This seeking of knowledge seems to be of pure intent, not one lead by a man wishing to gain knowledge to use against opponents or for selfish reasoning. A measure I would like to perhaps present to you is that due to those corrupted by greed of the land and greed of the rule over others, I would like to extend an invitation to build a library in my town of Nuremburg. If ever an iconoclasm was to be upstarted by a ruler who sees this flow of countless knowledge a threat to his rise, he may have those grave intentions. Thus my Order, the Teutonic Order would very much see to the protection of the books held therein a possible library that your group can found within my town.

[Sporadic 2801]

Tidings, pursuers of history. I have finished indexing our findings into a new book and will soon spread our work for public perusal. I am also copying a fascinating report down upon fresher and more preservable paper.

We consider our work done on the site of Inwe. We will break up camp as soon as the final excavations on the Dark Elf cavern systems have been completed by my competent colleague. We invite you all to earnestly educate yourself by visiting the site: You will not be disappointed.

To those who have attempted to contact us in the past days, I regret your queries went unanswered. Sting Surion is currently coping with responsibilities elsewhere, but I am sure you will find a response headed your way at his earliest opportunity.

After this, we must see if we have the strength and interest left for a next endaevour. I would be glad to accompany a new project, but have not yet discussed with anyone about possible leads for a worthwhile excavation. I hope to hear more about this as Sting, and perhaps our more wayward members, find time for feasible field frivolities.

((Oh, and get me on skype))

[Ibn Khaldun 7729]

Very Well then, I understand you and Sting are quite busy at the moment, do hope you men have found an abundance of knowledge in your latest excursion!

Describe what you would do in this guild, what do you look forward to?:

I am interested in building old temples of former religions, the earlier humans may have developed certain sects to the current religion in which I could build a few monasteries in the more remote areas of Aegis. I'd like to add old, broken-down walls and ancient outposts along the borders of old nations.

I also would enjoy designing things for the historian's lore, any story they propose, I will read it and build my interpretation of them.

*A notice was pinned over the original Archaeologist recruitment poster. The writing on this new poster is delicate, with many symbols and words of unknown language lingering along the margins. Your interest piqued, you move your head closer to the paper in order to make out the fine, curvy handwriting*

As Sting Surion settles into his construction work with the Aegis Academy, Rivell Gordian, to continue the noble pursuit of uncovering long lost knowledge, has been permitted to act as the guild steward as it is lead into a new stage. Expansion can be expected in the near future. Until further notice, this guild may be considered idle.

Individuals who have shown their affiliation towards the guild in the past can expect pigeons. Other interested parties would do well to keep track of this noticeboard, as information will be divulged here as it becomes available.
