A Deadman's Tomb

[Dasaro 11]

Event Planners, MC Names: Dez1320, Blackwidow920 (myself), Symodimi12, (more to come.)

Event Type: An exciting adventure for my character, whom is looking for his father's journal from Aegis, that was buried with him in his crypt. Simidimi assists the character, along with an excavator to the quest for the tomb.

Event Date: May 8, 2012, Tues. 6:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

Factions/Nations effected by the event: It is connected to the plague in Seventis going on, due to Aaron going to find the journal on the day the first case of the plague started. Aaron and his companions will be unaffected by the event, until they return to Sarun after finding the journal, and seeing many corpses, and the worst being King Renati's corpse, lying on the ground. The companions can either save the nation, or leave it, in fear. (Renati and I have talked about this IRL and have decided that this will be linked.)

Event Location: Don't know where exactly, but if the graveyard could be in the middle of a semi-circle mountain, that'd be great (just need perms for the graveyard building. I don't necessarily need the mountains, just that would be very nice.)

Summary: A month before the arrival to Asulon, Aitalas Epifanio's wife, Serenya, had a child, whom they named Aaron. Serenya died during child-birth, and Aitalas died soon after, due to heart-break, leaving the baby in the hands of Mr. Simidimi. When the child grew old, Simidimi gave him a note from Aitalas, before he had died.

The note read, "My son, the darkness will grow in your life, but the sun shalt shine soon after. My journal holds secrets, that only you may hold. You will know what they mean... you will know, in your heart."

The note had held some clues to the location of the journal. The first clue being a marking at the top right corner of the note. Aaron studied the marking for ages and soon found that it was the marking of a ship that had sunk near the border of Asulon. Aaron traveled to the boat and found a map. The map led to more clues, but the trail stopped cold after Aaron found a sword with etchings carved into the side.

Aaron was determined to find his fathers journal, but years had passed, and Aaron's attempts to find the journal grew effortless. There wasn't anything to find about the etchings... until one day, when Aaron was talking with a monk at the Cloud Temples steps. Aaron showed the monk the etchings, and the monk's eyes widened. The monk soon led Aaron into the Temple, and pulled a lever near a wall, the wall opened into a wide hallway. The monk led Aaron into an extravagant library, where the monk scanned the shelves with his eyes, eventually pulling out a very dusty book. The book said something about "The Old Heroes of the West." The book told of The Old Heroes, being a secret organization, located underneath the city of Norjun in Asulon. The members of The Old Heroes were, Claudius, Gwonam, Dezios, Simidimi... and Aitalas himself! Aaron recognized most of the name, Dezios was Renati's father, Gwonam and Claudius were a couple of his best friends, and Simidimi was his God Father!

The monk allowed Aaron to keep the book, Aaron finding out how the Old Heroes would use the symbols to tell of a time of trouble. The last time that The Old Heroes used the symbols was when Norjun collapsed to the minions of Iblees. He also learned that The Old Heroes consisted of over 25 members.

Aaron studied the journal and as he reached the end, the back page that was connected to the back cover fell off, reveling a sort of... secret hole in the thick cover. Aaron took off the patch of leather covering the hole, finding a map of a graveyard with mountains hiding it, a silver key with the symbols etched into it, a dagger with the same symbols, and a small piece of paper at the bottom. The note was from Dezios, Renati's father.

The note said, "Look towards the mountains, they may not look like much, but they can hold many secrets. Look towards the sun, it may not look like much but a ball of flame, but it can hold the biggest blessing one can ask for, life. Look towards the crypt, it may look peaceful... but where the dead rests, it is the most dangerous place. Look in the crypt, darkness seems to flow through it, cutting off, the blessing of the sun."

From that moment on, Aaron knew where he had to look. He told Simidimi about the graveyard for his organization, and Simidimi nodded, telling Aaron he would come with him. Thus their adventure began.

Other info: This will be linked to the plague in Seventis, We'll travel back after finding the journal, and we'll be stunned and will eventually have to make the choice to save the nation, or flee in fear. A couple of us may die in the process of retrieving the journal due to monsters, it is highly suggested if you die from monster to either perma-death your character, or just travel back to the crypt.
