Heed my call, O brave and fool hardy alike;

I bring news from the heart of the Thirsting Oasis, a mysterious ruin has surfaced from the sands in the wake of a raging Sandstorm, a place known only to the locals as the Veiled Reliquary. This ancient structure, half-claimed by the desert, has been uncovered in the wake of a fierce sandstorm, and what secrets it hides within are… well, the locals have only their tales, but none can say for certain.

I can share this: stories passed down by the Kwee elders hint that the Reliquary leads to something far more vast than mere stone and sand. A passage, they say, reaches deep into the unknown, a realm shrouded in shadow, rich with its own flora, fauna, and forgotten horrors. Ancient traps and cryptic runes guard the entrance, and within, strange echoes linger of whatever civilization once thrived here in ages past. Some murmur that it’s haunted by beings neither alive nor truly dead.

If your heart beats for adventure, come join us in Sahrabad Al-Qab Hamlet, a humble haven for nomads and treasure seekers alike. From this basecamp, those bold enough may set out to explore the ruins, navigate the traps, and perhaps uncover why it was hidden so carefully. Provisions, supplies, and guidance can be found here in the Hamlet.

But be warned;

 This path is not for the faint of heart.

ADVENTURA EST FORIS 

 

THE WELL ENDOWED, SIR FRAGGLESWORTH II, Clerk of the Paradisian Adventurers Guild

 

[PrimnyaQuorum 4003]

Cat-like pupils scan over the paper - a dim glow escaping from them.

 

There is little hesitation, separation between one's own intent and the force pushing him on.

 

A rift slams shut within a garden - the only trace the Librarian was ever truly there.

[DizzyGrey 1229]

A Kharajyr notes the call being put out, and pauses at the mention of a passage to... elsewhere.

The old and the echoes of the past were something her people knew better than all others. 

Perhaps it was time to see about these ruins.

"Teyenaxz nehtlapana." She murmurs (Ready our warriors).

[StingyParrot 1595]

Arakawa would receive the calling alongside a flurry of other correspondences - he would have missed it, if not for the unrecognised symbol at the top. He read it, then again, while he was cramming supplies into a pack.

 

Then once more, astride a reptilian mount, the dirt beneath its claws giving way to harsh sand.

[Me_llamo... 603]

"URAH!" An adventure-addicted teen shouted from within his chambers as he read the missive, sending a letter towards Fragglesworth II

[TheWyrdWolf 1532]

 

Beneath the endless sands, something ancient stirs, hidden and patient, waiting for the wind to whisper its name. Those who dig too deep may find themselves lost to shadows that have never seen the light of the sun..

[MonteGiant 891]

Leomonte would take heavy notice of the Call for exploration, he would scream something he heard consistently from the older Hyspian Generation who are no longer amongst the living, "THE DESERT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO HYSPIA!" He makes sure to call his companions for such exploration, hopefully, this is something good....

[MayRndz 1830]

[!] Hands grasped at the notice, a low humm escaping her before she offered a nod knowing she would join in upon the adventure.

𝓂𝒶𝓇𝒾𝑔𝑜𝓁𝒹  clutched the missive in two tight hands. "Adventurer's Guild? " she snorted, "Oh no no we MUST get this sorted out...." she folds the parchment carefully, intending to show her rat pals back at the esteemed Adventurer's Club. "Monsters be damned if they think they can set a trap better than us," she mused, as she scampered back to Celia'nor with purpose.
