The Sea of Fragments. A multiverse filled with limitless potential for wonder, and boundless levels of cruelty. An empire known as the Illusion of the Witch holds each glittering Fragment within its grip of paranoia and superstition. From inside their unassailable City of Books, the Witches' Senate act as merciless gods, crushing lives and dreams in equal measure.

Yet, in this Sea of endless possibilities, hope has been found. From within one of the fragments, a resistance has begun. Beatrice the Golden Witch, the Ushiromiya family, and some of their closest friends and servants escaped the destruction of their home with the help of an immature but powerful witch of the Senate, Lambdadelta, and together they now sail the Sea of Fragments, looking to shake the tyrannical rule of the Illusion of the Witch and eventually find a way to bring the City of Books crashing down and restore their beautiful Golden Land to the form that it once knew.

A vicious battle of truth an illusion, where every reality hangs in the balance. This is...

The War of the Golden Witch

Premise: Alright, so that's my basic idea. To put it more plainly, this game follows a what-if scenario off of Episode 8. What if, before throwing a party to unlock the Book of the Single Truth, Featherine wanted to wrap things up with the Golden Land first? Erika led the Goat Fleet there and started battering away at it, while Ange was still on the side of Bernkastel and Featherine, determined to learn the truth. Lambdadelta, on the other hand, decided that rather than wait it out, actually would help. She couldn't get anyone but herself into the City of Books, and there weren't any guest passes since there was no party, but she could allow them to exist in the Sea of Fragments as long as she was nearby. With that, the residents of the Golden Land burst through the line of goats, stole one of the ships, and sailed off into the Sea.

However, the Illusion of the Witch, which is what I'm thinking of calling the empire, did not hold onto only their fragment, but thousands upon thousand

With the way opened, the group presses on through the temple, and its various traps and ambushes. There were the undead abominations in the next room over. And, upon the defeat of those creatures, a myriad more undead waited throughout the rest of the temple complex. All of which was coated in a fine layer of dust, as it remained undisturbed for ages. Here and there, traces of lingering defiling magic could be found, whether in the burning braziers that lit themselves, or in the hostile fungi that tried to drag the group into a pit.

But, after exhausting all other options, you finally come to a heavy stone door bearing inscriptions in Primordial. It reads that the chamber beyond the doors houses a precious treasure of an ancient Primordial, known as the Dust Kraken, Ul-Athra, or the Mouths of Thirst, though only Ves and Glenn are able to read it.

Primordial : In the beginning, Ul-Athra and its siblings created the world. For a time, each primordial claimed a domain among the formless, empty regions. Ul-Athra, a creature of wind and rage, had dominion over the fury of the dust storm. It wore upon its brow the Crown of Dust, into which the primordial had invested a considerable sum of its power. When Ul-Athra was lost to the world, fragments of the Crown remained.

Below it is a simplistic depiction of a massive serpent, hundreds of yards long but no thicker than a human torso. On its its snakelike head rests a crown from which a whirling halo writhes. The halo looks somewhat similar to a dust devil.

The door itself opens with little resistance, into a room bathed in dim purple light. Flickering purple radiance shines from a small object floating over a pit in the floor.

Assuming nobody objects or stops him, the dwarf will slowly approach the crown, weapon drawn and his shield raised.

The screaming winds of sand and dust batter the party as they push through. The ones pushing the cart have it the worst, and Killua is nearly thrown off his feet by the ferocity of the storm. Ves notices the cart beginning to tip, and shouts a warning to those outside to bring it back under control. Recette warns of another sudden gust, and the group braces themselves just in time to avoid being floored by it. http://orokos.com/roll/213386 (14)

It seems that the dust devil has thrown everything it can at you, for moments later you emerge through to the other side. Walls of roaring dust circumscribe a hollow area of still air bisecting a high cliff face. The cliff contains the relief carving of a massive humanoid face. The empty eyes are black shadows, but the gaping mouth is set with two granite obelisks that look like massive teeth. You see flashes of several humanoids darting about within the mouth cavity. The space you're in now is an open desert.

The crodlus are shaken, but seem to be okay. Recette is immensely relieved. "For a moment there, I thought we were gonna die..." she murmurs, catching her breath. As for the wagon itself, it is in surprisingly good condition.

You've reached the Face in the Stone. Whatever it is Yarnath seeks, it lies inside.

Skill challenge completed. You gain 750 experience points (150 experience points each)

Both of them find the basin, just as described by Ves. Recette glances between the torch and the basin, and waits for Kudust to have the first drink. Not because she thinks it's poisoned, of course! She just doesn't want to drop the torch.

"Given tha shape we're in, ah think we may be better off wit' tha maroon pool, as unsavory as ah find it." With that, the dwarf will sidle back around the crevice and head to the opposite pool. Barring no interruptions, he will also drink from it.

The hustle and bustle of a lively market gradually dies down as you turn onto a nearby street. The stalls are eerily vacant, and you don't see any other people. At least, not right away.

Yells of surprise and alarm mix with the sounds of heavy boots and claws on Tyr's cobbled streets. From one end of the lane, two thri-kreen are bounding in your direction. On overlooking rooftops, a handful of elves throw off cloaks and snatch throwing chatkchas from their belts. From the other end of the street, three burly dwarves hustle toward you. Behind the dwarves strides a determined-looking human in a long cloak. He bears the insignia of the city of Urik: a roaring lion.
