Big Guy (Skelly)|marital=Single|birthDate=The second day of the third tenday of Junonia, 97 PR|birthPlace=Troverth|species=Troverthian Ursin|gender=Male|height=8'9"|weight=1,489lbs|eyes=Black}}'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a Level 3 [[Ursin (Player Race)|Troverthian Ursin]] [[Cleric|Peace Cleric]] / Level 2 [[Druid|Shepherd Druid]] / Level 2 [[Monk]] in [[Bedlam in the Badlands]]. He is played by [[User:Pokamian|Amia]].

A wandering monk from [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverth]], he set out on his journey in service of [[Dao Shinto]] three years before the events of the campaign began to bring peace, harmony, and happiness with the spirits and the mortals long before he even heard mention of a demonic thread invading Pteris, which he luckily happened to be in the nearby vicinity. As scared as he may be, he sees it as the best test of his faith. After all, his ideals pull him in that direction, do they not?

== Physical Appearance ==
This is the choice I've made tens of thousands of times.
Ichake Asaku has the traditional patterning of a panda bear, largely white fur with portions of black fur, and black claws. He wears pretty loose-fitting, blue-grey robes with sky blue accents, included a blue-corded belt and necklace with a magatama on it.

== Personality ==
I'll respond to the call of my irritated fate.
Ichake is incredibly reverent in every aspect in their daily life, but not to a point where they become overly uptight or stuck-up. He genuinely believes that the world could be better if everyone treated each other with kindness, peace, and harmony. He knows it's not always possible, but from what he's seen, it usually works.

== History ==
I think I'll give up on giving up.
He set out to help people before he even knew they needed it. Time and time again, Ichake has heard that you can't help people who don't want to be helped. But could he help the people who didn't yet need it? It's a question that Ichake has pondered since the beginning of time, but one that he never thought he'd have to put into practice as he set out on his lonely road throughout all of Quelmar, attempting to spread peace and harmony. Little did he know that the actions of his hometown would make it all the more hard.<blockquote>The following section is in Layman's notes for now</blockquote>

=== 2/3/2/117 - DAY OF DEPARTURE ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR'''

It is Ichake's 20th Birthday today. Normally, a birthday is meant to be a day of great excitement. Today is no exception, but there is also a lingering sense of nervousness within it. Today is the day that Ichake finally gets to depart from home. He has never left the bounds of Qiuxing with the exception of minor expeditions to the grassy bounds outside of the city to gather herbs and minor supplies to live with and do his religious work. Years of curiosity about the way the world works has finally culminated in his grand sendoff from the Asaku Conclave, the most well known conclave of worshippers to Dao Shinto. Who knows what he'll find on his exceptional journey? He sets out into the world, and it's almost as if the winds have blessed his very back. As if Dao Shinto whispers in his ear, blessing his feet, urging him onwards. But he's unaware of the tragedies that may await him.

=== 6/4/2/117 - ARRIVAL IN [[Friþleas|FRIþLEAS]] ===
'''THE SIXTH DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR'''

After 14 days of travel throughout the region of Troverth, Ichake arrives in [[Friþleas]], and submits himself to the city's laws. He's unsure as to why a place would need to be so strict with the people coming and going, especially when it comes to magic. Isn't magic a tool that is supposed to help people instead of hurting them? He doesn't understand the city's restrictions on both raw magical power and infused magical items, but he's not planning to rebel or challenge the laws in any way, he's happy to follow them and maybe learn more in the meantime. He stays a few days in the main city, enjoying the culture, meeting the religious groups within the city and doing work to help those who need it, before he sets out in the direction of the [[University of Xyrneiros]], planning to drift between the two for a long while.

=== 9/1/5/121 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Friþleas|FRIþLEAS]] ===
'''THE NINTH DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 120 PR'''

It's been three years since Ichake first arrived in both [[Friþleas]] and Presmarivale, and he feels he's become all the wiser for it. Both of the city have deep, shadowy undersides, but what sets Ichake apart from the lawful people who inhabit both cities is that he doesn't seek to fight it, squash it, or reign it into submission. Just as peace was once made between Glendoveer and Champerty (a peace that he was sure to uphold while he drifted between the two towns), he too believed that he could be a shining beacon of peace could be made between the shadow and the light. He was ready to congratulate his friends from the [[University of Xyrneiros]] on their graduation, and made plans to set out from [[Friþleas]] that day...until the news broke. Of the Troverthian Demonic Infiltration. He couldn't hide that he was from Troverth any better than a cheetah could change their spots, and with the authorities descending upon him, accusing him of being a secret agent to sow chaos in the city...all he could do was run, with his tail between his legs like a dog. Maybe he really became one. In any sense, he boarded the first boat that was leaving the city, and everything he knew behind.

=== 7/6/6/121 - ARRIVAL IN [[Saltport|SALTPORT]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SIXTH TENDAY OF DALSK, 120 PR'''

Ichake arrives in Saltport after a long boat ride, where news of the Demonic Experiments in Troverth has not quite spread yet. He abandons his faith entirely while he is here, a period of his life he doesn't like to refer to, known as the Demonic Grip. Because of this, he has developed a deep fear of demons with charm-based effects, as well as an underlying missive of intimacy due to avoiding human contact for so long.

=== 2/3/2/124 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Saltport|SALTPORT]] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR'''

On Ichake's 27th Birthday, he realizes that even though his hometown has forsaken him, he should not forsake it. He proclaims himself again as Asaku of Troverth, and begins to set out on his missionary work again, departing from Saltport and taking a boat up to Xandria in service of Dao Shinto.

=== 2/4/2/124 - ARRIVAL IN [[Xandria|XANDRIA]] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR'''

Ichake arrives in Xandria, and spends some time letting the cold refresh himself, since the heat of southern Quelmar has a tendency to melt the poor, fluffy panda bear in an instant (foreshadowing). He makes a life for himself here in Xandria, and is slowly able to shed the label of his old name in Troverth. Even when the news hits, people don't judge him as harshly for it.

=== 7/7/7/127 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Xandria|XANDRIA]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH TENDAY OF KENTGANNON, 126 PR'''

Even though he largely recognizes the Troverth Demonic Infiltration as not his fault, he still feels the need to atone for it. He considers himself a new worshipper to Dao Shinto in this regard, despite him being told it was as if he'd never left. He decides to trek through the harsh climate of Breme on a journey of self-discovery and atonement for letting the Demonic Infiltration slip under his nose.

=== 2/5/12/127 - ARRIVAL IN [https://quelmarwiki.com/wiki/Kars%C3%B6 KARSÖ] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF TORUSTELL, 126 PR'''

After a long five months of trekking through the snow-covered mountains, camping in the cold, and learning new things about himself when pushed to the limits of his mind, body, and soul, Ichake arrives in Karsö. He doesn't plan to stay long, only a little under a year, but one thing he learned from his journey is he wants to explore more of the world.

=== 1/1/1/128 - DEPARTURE FROM [https://quelmarwiki.com/wiki/Kars%C3%B6 KARSÖ] ===
'''THE FIRST DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR'''

After a little under a year of replenishing his supplies and making a small, but modest living for himself, Ichake is ready to set out again. He wants to explore more of Isonhound, the place that he lived in under such bad terms, and see it in a bit of a more positive light. On New Year's Day, there's a boat from Karsö to Fallhorn City, which he sees as a blessing.

=== 4/2/1/128 - ARRIVAL IN [[Fallhorn City|FALLHORN CITY]] ===
'''THE FOURTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR'''

Ichake arrived in the city, and despite being forced to be relegated to the slums of the city, something that is generally not recommended to be done in Fallhorn City, he's able to make peace with it. After all, having just trekked throughout Breme, there's quite a lot that Ichake can handle (Unless it's the heat). Plus, he's happy to be a comforting presence to the other people living in the city.

=== 7/3/10/134 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Fallhorn City|FALLHORN CITY]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR'''

After six long years helping people in the city, Ichake recognizes when it's his time to leave. He can't overstay his welcome, after all! Though, no matter how far he goes, he'll always be thankful to the people he was able to help in Fallhorn City. However, the boats from the city have a tendency to only go north, and Ichake wants to challenge himself by eventually getting to Pteris, so he begins to walk south.

=== 10/3/10/134 - ARRIVAL IN [[Fasiltum|FASILTUM]] ===
'''THE TENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR'''

Ichake decides it would likely be best to micro-dose living in a coastal/tropical climate to acclimate to the heat of Pteris, which is an idea that proves smart, but ultimately still a struggle. Despite that, he arrives in Fasiltum after about a 3-day walk from Fallhorn City, and decides to get to work the way he always does - picking up odd jobs to make money and build up his funds.

=== 6/8/4/136 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Fasiltum|FASILTUM]] ===
'''THE SIXTH DAY OF THE EIGTH TENDAY OF GROVENDER, 136 PR'''

It's only been about two years since Ichake first arrived in Fasiltum, and his exposure therapy to the heat has been going pretty well! He's been able to acclimate to the warmer temperatures by keeping his fur shorter, but still fluffy. However, this has instilled in him a new sense of hubris that he can handle Pteris, and with his funds newly amassed, he plans to set out and start off his journey in Pteris heading into the hottest time of the year.

=== 8/2/5/136 - ARRIVAL IN [[Pteris|PTERIS]] ===
'''THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 136 PR'''

After making the boat journey down to the northern shores of Pteris, he is excited to set out on this brand new walk of life! His hubris does get the better of him somewhat, but he's happy to be on this new journey. For once, he doesn't have a clue of where he's trying to go, since most people in Pteris live away from the ocean, but by wandering around, he's able to enjoy his time in Pteris.

=== 8/5/5/136 - ARRIVAL AT [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Arboretum Marketplace|THE ARBORETUM]] ===
'''THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 136 PR'''

Ichake arrives in the Arboretum for the events of [[Bedlam in the Badlands|"Bedlam in the Badlands."]]

See "The Story So Far" for more details.

=== [SCHROEDINGER'S DATE] - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES ===
[SCHROEDINGER'S DATE]

Ichake continues his journey onwards after the events of the campaign, looking to complete his walk around the world.

== The Story So Far - Bedlam In The Badlands ==
Even now, you're still there, right?

=== '''"STOP THE SWARMING DEMONS!" - 3/11/2026 - Amanda''' ===
Ichake's first appearance was in the episode "Stop The Swarming Demons!" where they ventured forth with [[Wynnipher Winchester]], [[Patches Vanderburg]], and [[Avel]]. Without having the requisite money to rent horses, the six-day walk was made in record heat waves within the deserts of Pteris. Everyone spent the trip offsetting heatstroke, mirages, sandstorms, and hunger, searching the desert for sources of food and water, telling stories, looking for stars, and generally enjoying each other's company. After six days of travel, they came across a familiar stone structure, and found a screaming halfling with a dustrunner running from swarms of detached demon heads that were harassing them. Thinking back to the Arboretum, where they saw someone run in before their head transformed into one of the demons and flew off filled them with rage, but they were unfortunately not able to do anything for Avel who was cursed with their demonification effects. With 14 hours on the clock, they manage to dispatch the swarms of demons, and discover that the halfling, introduced as Ryzen, as well as his dustrunner, have also been cursed. Before too long, the dustrunner succumbs to the curse and turns into a demon, but with careful preparation, the party is able to dispatch it without much effort. They take the time to catch their breath, before making haste towards Yuru's location, with the hopes that Yuru can cure Ryzen and Avel of their curse. They begin to make their way up the rock wall, but Patches's heavy armor begins to get the better of them, alerting hordes of demonic corpses to their presence, forcing them to fight back. The Ruin Demon is strong, tiny insects comprised with the faces of men and the stingers of their genitalia, and Ichake attempts to hold fast in its wake. However, as the biggest member of the party, the demon wants it most, speaking into Ichake's mind that it will use it to propagate, something that deeply unsettles him due to a fear of intimacy. They're far from out of the woods yet as demons continue to strike from the rock edifice, surrounding the party. Ichake is caught between a rock and a hard place when he is surrounded by the Ruin Demon and its minions, including Avel who was charmed by the monster, and he feels his time is nigh as he channels all his power to attempt to bring the demon down. His best efforts are not enough, and he falls unconscious, but Patches is able to finish the job, freeing them from the Ruin Demon. The last of the Demon Heads remain, but with everyone's combined efforts, they're able to take them down without too much effort. They made their way to Yuru's tent, and they were able to cure Avel of his curse, restoring him to normal, and was sworn to secrecy about Silk, the main export of the Shepherds, which can greatly enhance someone's magical power. It's incredibly potent, and people will kill over it. They celebrate with some prickly pear juice and learn about a Harvest that is happening within the next month, and stay at the Shepherd cache for the night, before beginning the long journey back. They look to try and find proof of the demonic heads and their appearance, and manage to find a hidden room in the rocky plateau where the demons were coming from. He plucks the cursed amulet from the statue, rendering the ritualistic circle there defunct. The party also finds the carving of a door in the wall with runes in Sylvan, which Ichake and Avel are able to translate to read "Two-faced, beginning and end, I swing from one to the other, speak my name and I flip for you" (A riddle, where the answer was "coin.") They manage to enter the secret room and find what appears to be some kind of lab, where someone was experimenting on Owlbears. The party makes their way back and identifies the amulet as an Amulet of Focus, which Ichake keeps and subsequently attunes to.

'''POST-SESSION DOWNTIME'''

During Ichake's downtime, he had a brief communion session with Dao Shinto, who warned him that Himo and Steady Wind were likely still alive, but being tortured. With not much time left to go out, Ichake bought a Ruby of the War Mage and a shield to increase his combat prowess, and made plans to set out with the others.

=== '''"INTO THE VALLEY" - 3/13/2026 - Chris''' ===
Ichake's next appearance was in the session "Into The Valley" where they ventured forth with [[Lenore]], [[Skelly]], [[Syl Vipershade]], and [[Demir Nightshade]] into the Valley of No Return. Some people venture forth seeking vengeance, some people venture forth seeking rescue for their lost friend, but no matter what, the prospect is grim indeed. The session cold-opens at the Federation HQ, which the party spent seven days venturing to, and despite being loosely advised not to go, they tell you that the Valley of No Return and the place where [[Himo Nilo|Himo]] and [[Steady Wind]] were being held is a two-day walk northward. As they begin to travel into the valley, with the sand shifting to red, Ichake spots tunnels with the sound of buzzing bugs coming from them. After some consideration, they decide to ignore the bugs and continue onwards, since the party is a little bit hard-pressed for fighters. The bugs began to start whispering in the party's head, attempting to warn them away from the Valley of No Return, which caused Ichake to spiral slightly as he was reminded of the Ruin Demon from "Stop The Swarming Demons!" However, he was able to press on with everyone else, and find the temple. Ichake volunteered to take the lead walking into the temple, due to being the biggest person in the party, and when pressed with the decision to follow the arrows etched into the floor or ignore them, the party chose to follow the arrows around the dark, winding maze of the temple. Eventually, the party came across a locked door, and when Syl picked it open, they discovered an altar for blood offerings in the image of the demonic minotaur spirit that Ichake saw leave Steady Wind during his torture in Ichake's vision. Rattled, they choose to press on. They continue to follow the arrows through the maze, and eventually come across a set of double doors, moss and peagrass lining the exterior of it, similar to the moss draped across the demonic minotaur's antlers, but notably different. Upon opening the door, Ichake almost reeled in horror, as they found the four-pillared room where Steady Wind and Himo were being kept. They found Himo and Steady Wind, but tragically, they were already passed away. Distraught and heartbroken, Ichake begins to consecrate the bodies for departure to the afterlife, or he would...if they weren't already undead. Suddenly, the demonic minotaur comes from the other room, ready to complete his ritual...and the party swings into combat. Ichake puts their Amulet of Focus to good use, storing a cast of Bless within it to protect it from harm, but the demon's watchful gaze tips off Ichake that it knows his ploy, so he retreats. He spent some time setting up the spirits to be on the party's side, and moves in to strike before getting blasted by lightning. This blast only enrages him further, as he summons the Shrine Watcher Staff and moves to strike. However, hopes are thin as his teammates weather damage, and newly renewed in his vows, Dao Shinto's presence fills the room as he uses his Balm of Peace. He and the demon take a chance to exchange blows and words, as they argue about the efficacy of peace in the land. The demon points out that by coming here, they left the druids to die, but Ichake stands firm in his belief that this was the right call, by telling the demon that the freedom to believe in the future we want is the most beautiful thing of all. Despite this, the demon still kicks Ichake hard, knocking Ichake to the floor. Despite that, Syl manages to get the final hit, and with one final warning, the demon begins to melt into ichor, requesting the party brings more combat to the altared chamber. They continue deeper into the temple, hoping to uncover what it is that Himo and Steady Wind went into the temple they find. While looking around, they found a living quarters where Syl's old boss, Ter, had been staying. They also find a room filled with caged critters, and despite their demonic appearances, Ichake had a soft spot for them, since they looked so peaceful while they were asleep. They backtrack, and Ichake climbs the wall to collect some of the moss from the Altar Chamber, and with Dao Shinto's guidance, it is identified as "an unusual magical energy that the Drow call Fayrerzss, which permeates much of the underdark. It is generally ancient elven magic dating back to the time that the dark elves (drow) were first exiled from the above world." He pockets it and decides to bring it back to Yuru for study. They find another room with another altar, but this altar has been defiled and destroyed (though it appears to match the earlier one, with the exception of stone serpent heads lying around.) He goes to pick up one of the snake heads and feels it tingle with magical energy, and he decides against giving it to Syl as a bit, especially as Lenore warns Ichake of a powerful demon that the altar used to worship. Continuing onwards, they find a room with vials of unidentified liquid lining the walls, as well as syringes filled with the demonic black ichor (except, this one is not black and mucky, this one glistens like oil has been included.) There's also a door on the other end of the room, filled with manacles on the wall, each holding a decayed humanoid body in it that has been malformed and transformed into something grotesque. Ichake comes to realize that the force they're up against has been turning innocent people into demons, which saddens them. Beyond a set of double doors, the party finds what appears to be a war room, though there's not many papers within the room. Despite that, something has definitely been plotting here, putting x's over the Arboretum, as well as one of the altars and two other points on the map. The other points read "The Grove of Sand and Stone. Potential Nature Altar," "First Altar," and "War Altar." Ichake comes to realize that the home dialect that they grew up speaking, what he previously attributed as Troverthian, is actually Abyssal, which gives him a LOT to think about. In the final room they have yet to investigate, they find two traps, both of which containing poison darts. The first chest contained some kind of whip made out of tentacles, later identified as an a tentacled rod. The second chest contained gold. With everything thoroughly explored, the party heads back to the Federation HQ, successful in their mission, but with new purpose ahead of him, as a beam of bright purple light shoots up into the sky and dissipates, marking the changing of the tides...

=== '''"MEGAGAME 2, PART 1: BEDLAM OF THE SCRAPPERS" - 4/12/26 - Mercedes''' ===
<blockquote>''This session summary is a little bit shorter because Amia's computer crashed before she could save it.''</blockquote>Ichake never expected to find themselves on the War Rig alongside [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Stix]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], Raegina, Bafztmyr, Kicyr, and Cilvdy, but a combination of wanting to stick with Rhogar, wanting to meet and get closer with Stix and Deliah, and everyone saying that Ichake being on the infernal war rig would be "funny" found him operating as lookout on the War Rig with Bafztmyr. Before he set out, Raegina took everyone aside, and taught them both the chant of the War Rig as well as adorned their bodies with black paint to honor the souls that had been left behind in order for this mission to be carried out. With Ichake reflecting on all the people who had helped him, he decided to add handprints of black paint around the black circles that mark his eyes to represent how everyone he has met has helped him to open his eyes to the world. And with that, he set forth into the sand, operating as the shot-caller of the War Rig, taking Bafztmyr's directions and using them to chase down the Shabby Scales who had stolen something precious from Raegina. The chase was short and his directions clear, as they were able to catch and gridlock the Shabby Scales' dualwheel that they had stolen from the Shepherds, and with no peace to be made between the two, Ichake played defense when blasted with a fireball but also learned that sometimes, a situational but effective implement of peace is violence, causing Ichake to grow more into his own image. But before long, the Shabby Scales were defeated and Raegina's prize was recovered - a primitive infernal firearm called the Ember Blast, which Deliah received as a reward from Raegina. Among the loot was also a Moon Sickle, which Ichake kept.

With not much else to do, the Junker Queens and the party decided to capitalize on some of their free time and pick up on some demon bounties in the surrounding area. One such conquest took them to a cavern set with a large number of demons inside of it, including a familiar buzzing mosquito-esq demon that Ichake had seen before. Fighting blind wasn't exactly easy for them, and being surrounded by the sounds of demonic buzzing, abyssal sounds from Hunger of Hadar, and the sounds of gunfire was especially jarring, but he was able to pull through. He managed to pick up the large bones that he was looking for, as well as some other scrap to trade with the other players. The group took a minute to rest before boarding the War Rig again as the megagame continues...

=== '''"MEGAGAME 2, PART 2: WAVE OF PRESSURE" - 4/12/26 - Mercedes''' ===
<blockquote>''This session summary is a little bit shorter because Amia's computer crashed before she could save it.''</blockquote>While resting along the War Rig with [[Stix]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], Bafztmyr, Kicyr, Cilvdy, and Raegina, they found [[Dallas]] out in the sands, and had them board the War Rig, which went pretty uneventfully. However, after about an hour of travel, Bafztmyr's headache began to get worse and worse, to the point where she lost her balance and began to fall off the War Rig in a fainting spell. Ichake attempted to catch her, and succeed he did, but he also lost his balance and fell off of the War Rig as well. After stopping to rejoin the party, Bafztmyr revealed that a massive demon was coming, and the stakes were raised when Cilvdy, Kicyr, and Raegina worked together to blow a large hole in the sand to reveal a massive chamber beneath, where the drumming heartbeat of the demons and the chant of the cultists was overwhelming. They only got a brief chance to catch their bearings before a horde of crab demons burst forth from the ground, one grabbing Kicyr in it's claws and snapping her in half, killing her instantly. With crabs surrounding them and water flooding into the chamber, the party had little chance to think, putting all their efforts into getting out of the pit and keeping each other safe. Ichake made a point to be the last one out of the whole, which caused them to undergo quite a lot of damage and strain, as they had to only climb the rope with one hand, keeping the other open to catch Deliah, who was continuously falling unconscious and falling off of the rope above him. With Rhogar's help, he was able to be pulled up, where he went purely on defense, casting healing and buff spells to keep himself and his allies up and fighting, while also keeping himself defended. Never before seen, also in this fight, was the use of Heiwa, Ichake's white dove familiar, who he used to help his allies out in his time of need. Together, they were able to rally and put up a good fight, one that was drawn out for a long time due to Rhogar's insistence that smacking the crabs back down into the pit as they climbed up was a good idea. Ichake, seeking a quick resolution, casts Inflict Wounds on the final crab, putting it at peace as combat ends. With Raegina being unable to bring back Kicyr, she makes plans to look to the future, as the threat of a Crab Demoness looms on the horizon, one that Zariel failed to defend against. She makes plans to send the War Rig south to Acqua Junction, and implores the adventurers to join them on her hunt. The party returns to the Arboretum, bruised and beaten, as their adventure continues...

=== '''"LIVESTOCK AND CROP CARE" - 4/22/26 - SEAN''' ===
With the new developments in Pteris slowly calming down in the coming weeks, Ichake is tasked to returning to the original core values of the arboretum with [[Avel]], [[Ollie]], [[Dallas]], [[The Girl Bard Named Leonard|Leonard]], and [[Skelly]], by working with the Shepherds to secure the food supply for the Arboretum and ensure its safety. As is customary with a trip to help the Shepherds, a long walk to their rendezvous point is in order, which goes without much delay - Skelly and Ichake form a prime musical duo, and Ichake is also able to make short work of the jobs involving navigation and cooking due to Ichake's guidance, cooking skyr with honey and nuts, a recipe he picked up from [[Friþleas]]. He quickly got to work gardening, taking on the unenviable task of attempting to harvest a kilmatur cactus, which he learned has roots that can extend as far as 30 feet in the ground as well as a flesh that can be made into a poultice that can heal burns. However, the calm plant life is cut very short when two of the plants were revealed to be not real, and in fact, quite dangerous. A good chunk of Ichake's magic was spent keeping Dallas and Leonard up, but without much incident, they were able to take the two plants down.

The next section of their work involved checking on the livestock, where the party was jumped by a horde of chickens, flying monsters, and rudderkin. The overwhelming swarm was not easy to deal with, forcing Ichake to use Balm of Peace for the second time in the campaign. The battle between the chickens, rudderkin, and flying owl demons is...less deadly, and more of a war of attrition. Once the party gets their footing, they're able to swiftly take them down, securing the food supply and setting them on their journey back home.

=== '''"THE RITUAL OF THE RIDER" - 5/14/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
The adventure opens with the party, consisting of the characters [[Stix]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Zasheir]], [[Wynnipher Winchester|Wynnipher]], and Diana, as well as the NPCs Raegina, Nacha, Cilvdy, and Baftzmyr. It begins with everyone gathered with Raegina and the pilots of the War Rig in order to begin the journey Southbound, beginning with a brief lesson from Raegina about Qa'zaak's power and warning the party that our goal is NOT to fight Qa'zaak, but is to pave a road to [[The Acqua Junction Tiangius|Acqua Junction]], the battle site between Qa'zaak and the aquatic demons and [[Zariel]], one of which who lost. The primary goal of Raegina's further quests is a "group hiking trip," so to speak, placing pitons along the road to give easy access from the Arboretum to the War Rig with the power of silk.

Before they set out, the party plays a special game of Kicyr's Roulette, a special Ritual of the Rider Drinking Game where one must resist both alcohol and avoid special doses of poison. Ichake was confident in his own skills after playing many a risky drinking game with his housemates in [[Xandria]], powerful mages who could teach him the value of playing it subtle with your power. With a stone-cold smile and a naive demeanor, he betted the highest amount of the party. Just in case, he also ensured his monetary safety by making a deal with Stix to split their winnings, though it didn't matter in the end, since he won the competition. He did, however, get poisoned by a dose of Midnight Tears, which caused him to wake up at midnight and cough up blood. He is now a little bit scared of drinking alcohol, but is happy with his winnings.

The morning comes for departure, and Ichake takes up his classic post of lookout on the War Rig, hoping to help Baftzmyr out and also hoping to bond with Baftzmyr on the long journey ahead. To start, Ichake spotted a circle of buzzards and pointed it out to the party, who made the decision to check out the dead thing that the buzzards were circling, finding a ruptured corpse of a Kenku that Ichake initially thought was Lenore's corpse. Ichake sets the body in the ground, and they continue on. When night falls, despite being poisoned, Ichake is awoken to deal with a thread of sandwich demons. He rapidly loses patience for Zasheir, Deliah, and Wynnipher, who decide to eat the sandwich demon corpses, and commands then all to go to bed. He got a moment alone with Baftzmyr, who commanded him to stop asking if she was okay, because she won't be okay for a long time. He resolves to be a comforting presence for her in the shadows without meddling too much anymore.

On the second day, their venturing continues much as normal, and they find a tan elven woman in Gerudo-esq fashion jumping up and down, trying to get people's attention. She is beaten up, and was being chased by one of the crab demons, and the party quickly jumps into action to help. Ichake's quick use of Sanctuary and Inflict Wounds, combined with a spread of damage from everyone else, is able to take the crab down. As thanks for saving her, she gives Ichake one magical bean in a bag, which confuses him greatly, but he resolves to keep it safe as thanks for her. Ichake does not keep watch that night, and nothing happens.

On the third day, there is a sandstorm in the path of where they're trying to go, and Raegina chooses to push through it, which causes Ichake to wrap his face and eyes in his old vestments to keep the dust out of his eyes. While going through the desert, Stix hears the crying noise of an animal, but the sandstorm is too thick to see what happens. He turns down Stix's invitation to trade spots, but the heatstroke and sand gets to him, causing him to fall off the War Rig for the second time in the course of his life. No one sees him fall off, and he is forgotten, causing him to run behind the War Rig for a bit before they notice his disappearance and he jumps back on. That night, Raegina offers up to gamble, and Ichake puts money into the pot, again making a deal with Stix to split the winnings. This time, Stix won, and they shared the pot.

For their final day of travel, Ichake and the group find a group of people that seem to be going through the process of transforming into snakefolk - a man and a woman, a person with the head of a cobra, and a Yuan-Ti. They attempted to stop the War Rig and rob them, but with the help of some magically amplified intimidation and a cannon shot, Ichake is able to ward them away through intimidation. They set up for the night, having gotten four days of travel, and with the help of Nacha, he is able to be teleported back to the Arboretum in time for his next mission.

=== '''"ARRAFELL UNDERBELLY" - 5/15/26 - CAT''' ===
Though a small venturing party, Ichake meets up with [[Patches Vanderburg]] and [[Zasheir]] in order to deal with the threat of thieves in the town of Arrafell, teleporting there through the help of the Shepherds, though they do seem to be a little bit late. Eventually, they meet up with the not-Shepherds Misfit, who works in a place where they heal people (as everyone in the table collectively forgot the name) and Sir Anthony, who are acting on request of the Viscount of Arrafell. Their adventure starts with just a little bit of chaos, saving Saltique Petra and Yuru from their runaway horse, and they meet with Garrett and Nash, who are carrying a litter of crates, and the Shepherds help the party teleport to Arrafell with the power of Silk. They meet up with a tabaxi named Brightpatch, who tells them that the thieves' have had some advantage for getting into these estates that needs to be dealt with. The Viscount is suspicious, as is an artisan named Chrissy, and Brightpatch suggests they talk to Kardyl Starkmark, the owner of a local tavern. After some persuasion with her and some alcohol as a bargaining chip, Kardyl points them in the direction of the Interim City Protection Division to find one of her friends, who is suspicious about another guard named Moss, who has been comitting politically-motivated shake-downs in the name of the Viscount. She also lets slip that the Thieves' Guild is associated with the Artisan's Guild, and that there's a secret tunnel in the storage closet next to Chrissy's office. She also gives the party a cloak that bolsters max HP. With two options in front of them, the party decides to take the direct route to Chrissy's office.

With the power of pure charisma, Ichake is able to overwhelmingly convince the front desk that the party is there for a meeting with Chrissy, and instead head to the storage closet where the secret tunnel is, which Ichake is able to pick using his claws. Opening the door revealed a normal storage closet, which after some investigation, Patches is able to find the mechanism that unlocks the secret door, which slides the wall away to reveal a dark passage, which the party enters and closes behind them. Inside they find the hangout spot for the Thieves' Guild, but with setting off an alarm, a human thief is expecting them. With not much animosity between them anymore, Ichake cuts to the chase, not seeking to kill them or hurt them, but find a peaceful resolution to the problem. With this unexpected angle, a second thief, this one a tiefling, takes over, who introduces themself as Vice. Ichake and Vice go back and forth for a bit, with Vice requesting for them to harass Xalyth on their behalf. They can't turn away from crime, but in return, they agree to give the party information on Toi'Viral, a famous reformed demon who wished away the dragons and brought in the start of the PR Era. She has an amulet that can be used to contact her, which is in the city of Arrafell somewhere that Vice knows. In order to find Xalyth, Vice sends them to talk with Captain Brior Windward. Notably, Vice does register as possibly a demon.

Talking with the Captain points them in the direction of the cultist's old haunt in a hand-waved discussion, which leads them to the sewer access to the cultist's lair. Patches, having dealt with the cultists before, is able to lead them into the main chamber where cultists are found, as well as a large demon called a Chasme. Ichake jumps in to kill the demon, but the scuffle leaves him much worse for wear, ad his vitality is sapped and he is wounded. With the main threat gone, Ichake falls back, leaving the last two cultists to be killed by Zasheir and Patches. With everyone injured, they retreat back to the Arboretum, waiting for Vice's info to follow them.

=== '''"WAR RIG TO ACQUA JUNCTION: EPISODE 2" - 6/26/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
This next adventure begins with [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]], [[Skelly]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], alongside new friends [[Glorivesh|Gloria]] and [[Voscaera]], as they Silk their way back down to the War Rig for another lovely adventure. However, the adventure does not start very well, as everyone except Skelly and Deliah pukes their guts out due to the Silk Travel. Nevertheless, they persist. Before they set out as well, Ichake checks in with Baftzmyr, who boldly announces that they are not friends, which hurts Ichake a little bit. During their first day of travel, they come across a dancer flanked by multiple camouflaged mages. They had a brief conversation, but otherwise couldn't connect over anything. That night, Raegina treated everyone to another game of Poison Roulette, where Ichake once again took home the prize pool of 335 gold, edging out a win against Voscaera. The second day of travel brings many more eventful surprises, as the party finds the Jewlspar Excavation crew, led by a halfling named Abby, who are digging into the Badlands in the search of something magical. Ichake spent some time talking with the Firbolg Adrian about finding a dragon skeleton, and helps him dig for some time. However, not too far into their search, a scorpion-tailed lady with a scorpion at her side comes to usurp the dig site, which sends everyone into combat. Devorah, the woman, and Scorpikus hit hard, but with the help of a powerful Balm of Peace and Syl's unfettered bloodlust allow the party to emerge triumphant over the two, protecting the dig site. They were able to take home some relics to investigate, including the blue marrow-like crystal that they were digging up to be investigated in the Arboretum and one half of a Flintrock pistol that Skelly pocketed. Back on the War Rig, who knows where the adventure will take them next...

=== '''"THE FIDDLEHEAD FOLLIES" - 6/27/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
The War Rig journey continues (notably during the same day for Amia due to being in Japan) with [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Voscaera]], and [[Skelly]], but in the place of [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]] and [[Glorivesh|Gloria]] comes [[Diana]] and [[Zasheir]]. The first day of travel begins with Voscaera, Skelly, and Ichake geeking out over a horned skull that they find by the side of the road. Picking it up reveals that it is rife with infernal magic, and despite Ichake's wishes, Voscaera takes the skull and gets himself hurt, which puts Ichake in a mood. He puts Voscaera in time-out, and the ensuing argument causes them to miss the next possible encounter in the form of a dryad woman. When the party pulls over for the night and Raegina breaks out the poisoned liquor again, Deliah gets into an argument with the party about being a spoilsport, but she declines to play. Regardless, this is Round 2 of the fated bout between Ichake and Voscaera. Ichake loses this bout, and passes out from intoxication.

For Day 2 of travel, Ichake wakes up early and takes the rare opportunity to help drive the War Rig, taking Deliah's spot. As they drive, they spot an up-and-coming circus, called the Fiddlehead Follies, and after learning it's similar to the summer festivals from back home, he jumps at the opportunity to be a child again and sprints in. He and Skelly decide to go watch the doll show, but when he can't think of something to trade, Skelly comes in clutch and gives away an extra tooth so he can see the show. Everyone ends up arriving at the tent around the same time, just in time for the doll show. Notably, right before the show starts, Ichake plants his magic bean into the dirt in front of him, just in case he'll need it, but he is admittedly tired of everyone being in edge. When the bean sprouts, a geyser of beer erupts from the ground, which causes the marionettes to draw back in shock, but seemingly get pulled back against their will. As tensions rise, it's made clear that the marionettes are being held against their will, which clears Ichake to act lethally as they fly into combat. However, as they realized how outmatched they are, the party is forced to flee with the marionettes and their lives, losing one in the process but taking her cogwork heart and the pieces of her shattered corpse. They flee back to the rig, and Ichake teleports back home as the journey continues...

=== '''"THE EDGE OF THE WORLD" - 8/19/26 - CHRIS''' ===
After taking some time off to attempt to help the marionette sisters, Ichake picks up a quest to venture forth into the Underdark alongside[[Voscaera]], [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], [[Koro]], and Yuki. After a full day of travel to meet at the crossroads, everyone meets up with the archaeological society that they've been helping, and make plans to continue down the left path towards the coastline, with the hopes of making better efforts than a three-day venture. After four days of tiring, but otherwise uneventful travel, the party finds a wall that leads to an alcove that doesn't seem to be part of the natural cave structure of the Underdark. It appears to be only a 10-foot alcove, but an illusory wall reveals an dark, ornate room filled with pedestals with nothing on them. There's a mosaic on the floor depicting twin women, but Ichake can't place what it's from. Syl is able to further identify it as twin god sisters, and Rhogar identifies them as Selune and Shar. Upon further investigation, Ichake discovers that they are in an Abbey that seems to worship both. The temple seems to be pushing them towards making a choice between Selune and Shar, so the party attempts to explore everything else before that. However, before long, a priest arrives, and offers to lead them to the altar in the abbey, but he seems to be hiding some of the truth. They pass by another room at the priest's request, seeming to be another bedroom, and find their way to the dining room at the end of the hall. The priest leads them into the reflecting room for Selune, and introduces themselves as Ezekiel, before he departs to continue his work. Ichake uses the water to briefly pray to Dao Shinto, and sees a vision of the Arboretum as a bustling and lively town where Ichake has erected a temple to Dao Shinto for pilgrimage to the Ying Sect, as well as receiving the blessing from who he presumes to be Selune. After being refreshed, Voscaera attempts to fill a vial with the water from the altar, and receives the same blessing, though the water turns a murky black. When Syl casts Detect Magic on the entire area, the entire temple transforms to that of a Sharran visage, leading the party to look for answers in the back room from Ezekiel, where he attacks to "show the might of Shar." During the fight, it is revealed that Ichake and Voscaera are cursed, and unless saved, are doomed to die in the Shadow's Abbey, as magic forbids them from leaving. After a tense battle, the party continues to explore the Abbey, and they find a long, long staircase, one that is a full day's walk long. They find a ladder, and pull themselves up, to discover that it's a secret passage underneath the Arafell Throne Room (where Ichake also discovers he's no longer cursed. They retreat, and continue back on their way, walking for another day or two, until they find a clearing with a waterfall. Dao Shinto comes to Ichake to tell him that this is the edge of the world. Grateful for the experience, they begin to make their way back towards the Arboretum, as his adventure continues...

=== '''HOUSE OF DEMONS - 8/23/26 - CAT''' ===
With checking in on Speach and Skrystal complete, Ichake sets out on a familiar debt, one that he was asked to pay by [[Koro]], and sets out with [[Patches Vanderburg|Patches]] and [[The Scarlet Shadow]] to Troverth in order to try and gain access to the Demonic Amulet and the Yuhan Bloodline. With [[Quelmar PHANTOMS|Koshei]] and [[Quelmar PHANTOMS/NPCs|Mae Tadako's]] help, they are able to teleport all the way to Troverth, into the basement of a farmhouse that's being used as a safehouse. They are introduced to Yori and Ishiyama, who live in the place and use it for smoking hash. They provide the party with some food and give them directions towards Quixing, in exchange for being promised to bring a saw back for the farmer family. They make their way into the city, with Ichake serving as navigator, and eventually come to the palace, a leadership-role-power-vacuum that was filled by the Yin Sect of [[Dao Shinto]] known as the Èmózhījiā. However, hiding in the rubble of the city are a couple of demons that attack the party, which are dispatched, though they're certainly strong. They then set out to get to the palace, walking up the hill and passing many demons, but they eventually don't seem to follow them up to the grounds. Ichake leads everyone through the Èmózhījiā in order to find Shozo, who he greets warmly. Shozo introduces them to Ren, someone of the Yuhan Bloodline who doesn't want to be recognized as such. They had an extensive conversation between Ren, Shozo, Ichake, and Mae, where Ichake weaved an elaborate lie, framing the amulet as a way to summon a powerful demon that can wish for anything Troverth wants. The appeal of such a prospect is intriguing, and Ren agrees to travel with everyone to Balabag the next day. However, they are stopped by the Steelhand Clan, who owns the Phoenix territory, and are admitted through customs. They go to a Curio Shop and stock up on some magic items, before going to the local tavern (beautifully named "Stucc-ees") and sneak into the basement to get to the door. With Patches' help, they get in unnoticed, and clear the clutter towards the secret door, leaving an iron key in a secret compartment behind, and leading them to Mae Tadako's lab, revealing a number of demons that are guarding the vault, demonic constructs that even Koshei can't reason with. After they are dispatched, Mae and Ren are left to open the vault, where they find some demonic related tools for binding and hiding demons, as well as iron that can be sold for money. They return back to the Arboretum, where the journey continues...

Dao Shinto

2026-08-23T22:27:11Z

Pokamian:

{{Infobox_god|affilliation=affiliation|name={{PAGENAME}}|image=Daoshinto.png|caption=Art of Dao Shinto from the holy texts carried by Ichake Asaku|domains=Nature, Order, Peace|alias=God of Spirits|plane=Feywild}}

'''Dao Shinto''' is the “god” of the Kami, a pervasive spiritual force that resides in everything in existence. He is a force of self-cultivation and harmony, and despite having a physical form and being a physical god, is often believed and revered to be the animistic force that resides in everything.

== Description ==
Dao Shinto is characterized as a fox-like god, with anatomy similar to that of a Vulpine. Despite this, it is a false association to assume the Vulpine and Dao Shinto are associated, they in fact have nothing in common. He has wavy, sky-blue hair and sky-blue robes to match. They often are depicted riding the clouds like a surfboard, as they interact with the mortals below throughout Quelmar.

== History & Works ==
Dao Shinto was originally a Mortal Vulpine that originated from the [[Temple of Harmony]], which was a temple dedicated to worshipping [[Toi'Viral]], the most famous "reformed demon" who wished away Bahamut and the dragons. As one of her worshippers, he died in the Holy Wars, and was left in the limbo of the afterlife. He claimed his spot in godhood by amassing the [[Favoure]] of the people who shared the common belief of "Why don't we all just get along?" over the course of the 200 years that he existed in the afterlife. Though still relatively weak in power, he hopes to reunite with Toi'Viral.

''Cat feel free to fix this to better your vision as needed''

Belief in whether Dao Shinto is largely cultural, and therefore he does not have the power to perform large-scale religious beliefs. As he is also not a "[[Mt. Celestia|Celestial God]]" and is instead from the [[The Feywild|Feywild]], it is not uncommon for someone to not believe in the existence of Dao Shinto as a whole, as opposed to most major gods, whose existence is known but maybe not followed. Dao Shinto actually prefers this, as he feels it allows him to perform blessings that are more dear to his heart.

Dao Shinto's main theological "mission" is to unite the planes of Quelmar in peace, unity, and self-improvement. Dao Shinto's followers hold the belief that the various "denominations" of creatures ([[Demon|Demons]], [[Mt. Celestia|Celestials]], [[The Feywild|Fey]], etc.) are also people, simply just from different planes. Though their ways of life are separate, there is common ground that can be established, evidenced by a good standing relationship with [[The Feywild|Quelmar's Feywild]], where Dao Shinto originated from.

Due to the influx of worshippers that happened in the wake of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], Dao Shinto had taken it upon himself to align himself with the values of his worshippers at the time, and find common ground between the demons of [[the Abyss]] and the Humanoids of Quelmar, attempting to prove once and for all that demons aren't innately evil and it is merely a byproduct of their solitude, upbringing, and lack of option. His main examples for this are [[Toi'Viral]], Koschei (Found within the player list of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]), and Vice (Found within Session 38 of [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Story So Far|Bedlam In The Badlands]]). His followers became openly divided (as there had already been a schism hidden under the surface) with some followers (known formally as the Yang Sect, detailed below) believing in peace between the realms, while some followers (known formally as the Yin Sect, detailed below) believing in aligning with the outer planes' more powerful creatures to bring about a new world order. Dao Shinto believes in the former, but believes that the polarity and intersectionality of both sides is needed to keep a neutral and open mind (and would not have the power to forsake half of his followers regardless). The Yin Sect eventually amassed enough [[Favoure]] to bring about the [[Kami War]], the darkest period in the religon's history.

== Worshippers ==
Due to being a self-improving based belief, Dao Shinto is a belief that can be worshipped by anyone of any walk of life. However, throughout the continent of [[Osugbo]], there are many noted conclaves of worshippers that have formed so-called "churches" (known as Conclaves) dedicated to their belief. They are well known within [[Osugbo]], but are still so small that many people who live outside of the conflict would not easily know it. When introducing themselves, worshippers of Dao Shinto will typically introduce themself by their conclave's name (which they share their surname with if born into the clergy), followed by their conclave's location. For example, [[Ichake Asaku]], who is from the Asaku Conclave in Troverth, commonly introduces himself as "Asaku of Troverth." The one exception to this rule is in a situation regarding one's achievement, effort, labor, or growth, where claiming ownership of the deed with one's first name is encouraged.

=== YIN SECT ===
The Yin Sect of worshippers represent the "Dark Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of growth, reflection, and improvement by seeking power and intention in everything they do. By some, they're considered evil, and even though Dao Shinto disagrees with them at times, they are ultimately still following Dao Shinto's teachings as he says them. Dao Shinto appreciates the difference in idealism over his admittedly non-specific teachings.

The most notable group of worshippers under this sect include the Asaku Conclave, a tribe of primarily [[Ursanids|Troverthian Ursin]] (Though they openly accept anyone of all walks of life). Located in the heart of [[Qiuxing]], they did not have power in the beginning of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], but they certainly had sway with the royal family in its beginning, hoping to make contact with demons in order to use their power to assist in the [[Realm War I|First Realm War]].

==== '''NOTABLE MEMBERS OF THE YIN SECT''' ====

* Shezo (Caretaker of the Èmózhījiā and [[Ichake Asaku|Ichake's]] main father figure.)

=== YANG SECT ===
The Yang Sect of worshippers represent the "Light Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of peace, unity, and togetherness by missioning out to unite the planes like Dao Shinto does. By some, they're considered naive, but they have the ready blessing of Dao Shinto at their backs due to being directly aligned with the holy deeds Dao Shinto himself hopes to accomplish. If Dao Shinto was any more strict, he would forsake the followers of the Yin Sect for the Yang Sect, but he respects the individuality of both.

At the time of writing this, there is not a notable conclave of the Yang Sect that has been created yet.

==== '''NOTABLE MEMBERS OF THE YANG SECT''' ====

* [[Ichake Asaku]] (Who defected away from his Conclave over the course of his backstory and events of [[Bedlam in the Badlands]])

=== Playing A Dao Shinto Worshipper ===
People who devote their service to Dao Shinto may manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]], [[Druid|Druids]], [[Warlock|Warlocks]], [[Monk|Monks]], or [[Paladin|Paladins]], with classes and subclasses depending on the nature of their devotion, study, and sect of worship.

Either sect can contain [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Nature Domain, [[Druid|Druids]] of the Shepherd Circle, Archfey [[Warlock|Warlocks]], or [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Devotion.

Worshippers of the Yin Sect can additionally manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Order Domain, [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Glory, or [[Monk|Monks]] of the Way of the Astral Self.

Worshippers of the Yang Sect can additionally manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Peace Domain, [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Redemption, or [[Monk|Monks]] of the Way of Mercy.

== Notable Holy Sites ==
Due to the widespread belief that everything contains spiritual energy under Dao Shinto, it did not become a large priority for holy sites to be built, instead that travelers who believed in Dao Shinto would be able to find each other on their paths and bless each other’s journeys through the world. However, due to the demonic uprising, the first holy site to Dao Shinto, known as the Su Torii, was crafted by [[Ichake Asaku]].

=== The Èmózhījiā ===
[[File:Demonhouse.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Èmózhījiā (Qingyang Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan, China)]]

The Èmózhījiā is the flagship temple to Dao Shinto in [[Qiuxing]], constructed after the city's destruction during the events of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]. It is the home of the Asaku Conclave of Dao Shinto. The Èmózhījiā is considered to be the biggest hub for the Yin Sect of Dao Shinto Worshippers, and located less than two blocks away from the gates of the main palace itself. It handles most, if not all, of [[Qiuxing]]'s spiritual affairs, from festivals to religious sermons, and included within the walls of the two-acre holy ground is also a school that is attended by many children in Qiuxing, a school that prides itself on being the prime source of learning the [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverthian]] Language (a front for the [[Abyssal|Abyssal Language]], to make communications with demons easier.)

=== The Su Torī ===
[[File:Sutorii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Su Torii (Dondo Yaki in Kyotango, Japan)]]

The Su Torī is the first dedicated holy site made for Dao Shinto outside of Osugbo, and has since gained renown in the ages to come despite being a very small dedication to Dao Shinto. A small campfire on the outskirts of the Arboretum where [[Ichake Asaku]] would retire after the day’s work, and hear the stories of people who wished to share them. [[Ichake Asaku]] believed that the act of devotion to Dao Shinto was enough to make a holy site, and never actively acted upon making it more powerful and more vibrant, though he wouldn’t say no to if someone wished to spruce it up.

Most notably around the campfire is dedications to everyone that has been lost to the [[Demonic Infiltration]], memoriums of every spirit who lost their life in the struggle. The list of the people memorialized (and what is there) in the Su Torī are listed below:

* [[Gobbo Greenskin]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* [[Nid]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* Daphne (A locket containing a photo of Daphne's family)

Dao Shinto

'''Dao Shinto''' is the “god” of the Kami, a pervasive spiritual force that resides in everything in existence. He is a force of self-cultivation and harmony, and despite having a physical form and being a physical god, is often believed and revered to be the animistic force that resides in everything.

== Description ==
Dao Shinto is characterized as a fox-like god, with anatomy similar to that of a Vulpine. Despite this, it is a false association to assume the Vulpine and Dao Shinto are associated, they in fact have nothing in common. He has wavy, sky-blue hair and sky-blue robes to match. They often are depicted riding the clouds like a surfboard, as they interact with the mortals below throughout Quelmar.

== History & Works ==
Dao Shinto was originally a Mortal Vulpine that originated from the [[Temple of Harmony]], which was a temple dedicated to worshipping [[Toi'Viral]], the most famous "reformed demon" who wished away Bahamut and the dragons. As one of her worshippers, he died in the Holy Wars, and was left in the limbo of the afterlife. He claimed his spot in godhood by amassing the [[Favoure]] of the people who shared the common belief of "Why don't we all just get along?" over the course of the 200 years that he existed in the afterlife. Though still relatively weak in power, he hopes to reunite with Toi'Viral.

''Cat feel free to fix this to better your vision as needed''

Belief in whether Dao Shinto is largely cultural, and therefore he does not have the power to perform large-scale religious beliefs. As he is also not a "[[Mt. Celestia|Celestial God]]" and is instead from the [[The Feywild|Feywild]], it is not uncommon for someone to not believe in the existence of Dao Shinto as a whole, as opposed to most major gods, whose existence is known but maybe not followed. Dao Shinto actually prefers this, as he feels it allows him to perform blessings that are more dear to his heart.

Dao Shinto's main theological "mission" is to unite the planes of Quelmar in peace, unity, and self-improvement. Dao Shinto's followers hold the belief that the various "denominations" of creatures ([[Demon|Demons]], [[Mt. Celestia|Celestials]], [[The Feywild|Fey]], etc.) are also people, simply just from different planes. Though their ways of life are separate, there is common ground that can be established, evidenced by a good standing relationship with [[The Feywild|Quelmar's Feywild]], where Dao Shinto originated from.

Due to the influx of worshippers that happened in the wake of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], Dao Shinto had taken it upon himself to align himself with the values of his worshippers at the time, and find common ground between the demons of [[the Abyss]] and the Humanoids of Quelmar, attempting to prove once and for all that demons aren't innately evil and it is merely a byproduct of their solitude, upbringing, and lack of option. His main examples for this are [[Toi'Viral]], Koschei (Found within the player list of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]), and Vice (Found within Session 38 of [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Story So Far|Bedlam In The Badlands]]). His followers became openly divided (as there had already been a schism hidden under the surface) with some followers (known formally as the Yang Sect, detailed below) believing in peace between the realms, while some followers (known formally as the Yin Sect, detailed below) believing in aligning with the outer planes' more powerful creatures to bring about a new world order. Dao Shinto believes in the former, but believes that the polarity and intersectionality of both sides is needed to keep a neutral and open mind (and would not have the power to forsake half of his followers regardless). The Yin Sect eventually amassed enough [[Favoure]] to bring about the [[Kami War]], the darkest period in the religon's history.

== Worshippers ==
Due to being a self-improving based belief, Dao Shinto is a belief that can be worshipped by anyone of any walk of life. However, throughout the continent of [[Osugbo]], there are many noted conclaves of worshippers that have formed so-called "churches" (known as Conclaves) dedicated to their belief. They are well known within [[Osugbo]], but are still so small that many people who live outside of the conflict would not easily know it. When introducing themselves, worshippers of Dao Shinto will typically introduce themself by their conclave's name (which they share their surname with if born into the clergy), followed by their conclave's location. For example, [[Ichake Asaku]], who is from the Asaku Conclave in Troverth, commonly introduces himself as "Asaku of Troverth." The one exception to this rule is in a situation regarding one's achievement, effort, labor, or growth, where claiming ownership of the deed with one's first name is encouraged.

=== YIN SECT ===
The Yin Sect of worshippers represent the "Dark Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of growth, reflection, and improvement by seeking power and intention in everything they do. By some, they're considered evil, and even though Dao Shinto disagrees with them at times, they are ultimately still following Dao Shinto's teachings as he says them. Dao Shinto appreciates the difference in idealism over his admittedly non-specific teachings.

The most notable group of worshippers under this sect include the Asaku Conclave, a tribe of primarily [[Ursanids|Troverthian Ursin]] (Though they openly accept anyone of all walks of life). Located in the heart of [[Qiuxing]], they did not have power in the beginning of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], but they certainly had sway with the royal family in its beginning, hoping to make contact with demons in order to use their power to assist in the [[Realm War I|First Realm War]].

* None so far, at the time of writing this.

=== YANG SECT ===
The Yang Sect of worshippers represent the "Light Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of peace, unity, and togetherness by missioning out to unite the planes like Dao Shinto does. By some, they're considered naive, but they have the ready blessing of Dao Shinto at their backs due to being directly aligned with the holy deeds Dao Shinto himself hopes to accomplish. If Dao Shinto was any more strict, he would forsake the followers of the Yin Sect for the Yang Sect, but he respects the individuality of both.

At the time of writing this, there is not a notable conclave of the Yang Sect that has been created yet.

=== '''ARC SUBPLOT: FAMILY TIES''' ===
Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Jalivia de Vaironne, Amadeus Orpheus Hart, Vaerith Stormaeris
The history of the Magister's Masquerade, year after year, is something that is publically accessible, and yet few people actually find time to research. Back in the days when Deroulex was new and just starting out on its journey, the dance used to be a fundraising event for nobles to pitch in towards the success of the students. The noble presence at Deroulex has kept itself intact, and nobles are welcome to attend the dance to see the fruits of their donations. Whether indirectly or directly, this undoubtedly puts some of you under a lot of pressure.

=== '''CORDIALLY INVITED''' ===
'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr, Jalivia de Vaironne, Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Amadeus Oprheus Hart

'''Side Characters:''' Rio Saoirse, Xi Bloodwood
Our session opens before the school year actually begins, with each student moving into their apartments and seeing a vellum letter on their desk. Each student opened it, to reveal a grand invitation to this year's Magister's Masquerade, the theme being "A Starlit Night." Enclosed was also everyone's Masque Charms that they would need for the dance, as well as a second invitation to a meet-cute reception at the Bow's End Tavern hosted by Javenesh and Manneo. With time on their hands, the party accepted, and were swept up in the whirlwind of the party.

Ambi went to the bar and had a chat with Javenesh, and he asked her to help him pull a prank on Astrid. Not harmful in any way, he just wants to get a little bit of revenge and let bygones be bygones. He left the creative details up to her. Javenesh also let slip that Dean Tullus wants the focus of the ball to be about Deroulex's history, which is quite boring. When Amadeus rattled Astrid, Javenesh had a change of heart, thanking Ambi for helping with the prank, but deciding to back out.

Jalivia and Xi had a pretty serious chat about Xi's humanity, as Xi frantically tried to cover by saying that they've never drank alcohol (instead of just saying they don't drink period.) The two shared a Riesling, and had a nice chat about helping each other. Jalivia and Manneo then had one last conversation regarding Manneo's new management position at the Bow's End Tavern, and how he's admittedly a little bit nervous to fill Javenesh's shoes. He's a little bit nervous about his experimentation with food, but Jalivia was able to reassure him that he deserved this position. Manneo's confidence skyrocketed thanks to Jalivia's help. Much later in the night, Xi confessed that he wanted to dance at the dance, and asked Jalivia to go with them, which Jalivia said yes.

Grimmwood caught up with Grayson and the two of them challenged each other to try an exotic snack. Grimmwood found some pickled lotus root, and planned to bring it back to Grayson. Wouldn't luck have it, Grayson found the mushrooms, and the two had a great time together. Grayson also let slip that one of the founding dragons might make an appearance at the dance.

Rio caught up with Aurora, and the two of them talked about their summer plans and their new classes, talking about their professors. Melwythorne and Rio then bond over snacks, and the two vow to try every one. Eventually, they were able to make their way around, leaving Melwythorne satisfied, but also with a stomachache. He also lets slip that he's heard rumor that the Magister's Masquerade is actually a secret fourth exam, which he's worried about.

Xi had a chat with Javenesh, and Javenesh took them under his wing. Javenesh also let slip that the staff are trying to "peacekeep" the Mage Tower rules after incidents last year, which has students up in arms. Xi and Melwythorne then had a chat, Melwythorne commending Xi about being kind enough to try and bond with the Silkball team. The two talked about their breaks, and how Melwythorne wished he was a better student like Xi, who is always so dilligent with studying. The conversation was cut short by Melwythorne needing to visit the bathroom, but he did mention that he was still feeling on edge after Mage Hunters invaded campus last year.

Lardriira'xyra went to get a drink with Manneo, and the two talked about creating exquisite food dishes. Manneo wished he could bring his dishes to the ball, but without being a third-year or having a proxy, there's not much else he can do.

Amadeus got absolutely waisted and fell deep into the uncanny valley in appearance, but eventually, was approached by Astrid. Astrid wanted to use Amadeus's magic as insurance to prevent herself from being pranked, asking them to cast an illusion to get back at Javenesh. Amadeus instead had most of their face melt off (in a harmless changeling fashion), and they fled, screeching. Dean Tullus went after them. Many students nearby muttered around it being "the ailment," but they didn't seem to care much.

Manneo and Tilana were forced to escort a sick Melwythorne out of the tavern, as they claimed to have had one too many eel rolls. Astrid and Amadeus later had a falling out over their differences, Grimmwood moving to comfort the former while Jalivia moved to comfort the latter. Jalivia discreetly scoped out Amadeus to make sure they didn't taint the snacks, but found nothing. Ambiance and Lardriira'xyra went to check on Melwythorne, discovering that the scan just came back with indigestion and a headache that was chalked up to being drunk and having eaten too much food. Tilana later let slip that Melwythorne missed Silkball Practice that day for a meeting with a teacher, but she didn't know which teacher, or why.

=== '''THE SECRET LIFE OF FAMILIARS''' ===
'''Guest DM:''' Keller (Player of [[Jalivia de Vaironne]])

'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra and Arda, Ambiance Faira and ying, Dela Pierre and Cocoa, Vaerith Stormaeris, Astrid and Ophelia
The famous witch and Deroulex alumnistt Gertruda Grimmsly and her tortoise familiar Sheldon were visiting the campus to give a guest lecture on all things familiars. As [[Isonhound|Isonhound's]] foremost familiar expert, Gertruda came to share her knowledge and to help the Deroulex students through some simple trust exercises with their familiars. For students that did not have familiars, she had also brough her collection of Faux-milliars, magical dolls and plushies that could temporarily be animated with familiar magic. As the lecture started, the students got to speak with the freshman wizard Lenny McGibbons and his strange feline familiar, Queen Guinivere.

As the lecture began, Gertruda began to show off some of the familiar related magic items she possessed, including the famed Orb of Onnicus, an ancient relic that would allow familiars to cast powerful arcane spells. But the lecture was interrupted when a strange monkey broke into the lecture hall and began to cause chaos. As the students dealt with the monkey and attempted to protect the orb, Queen Guinivere snuck onto the lecture stage and grabbed the Orb of Onnicus. There was a flash of magic and all of the students found themselves body swapped with their familiars!

Knowing that they only had 24 hours to reverse the spell before it became permanent, Gertruda sent the students to search for clues about Queen Guinevere's location at the secret familiar sanctuary, the Pact and Paw, a garden magically concealed in the Archway Commons accessible to only familiars. Arriving at the garden through a secret tunnel, the students marveled at the gorgeous hidden world, including many attractions like cat trees, fire hydrants, bird feeders, a stage, mud pits, gambling, and even a bar. The bar was managed by a [[Unicorn]] named Adonis who had been accidentally summoned to Deroulex years ago after a Wild Magic surge. He used his [[fey]] magic to create the Pact and Paw to serve as a place where familiars could go to relax when not with their partners.

In searching for information, the party met with Don Bubbles Tortellini, the goldfish head of the Deroulex Mafia. After some terse words and a quick scuffle, the Don offered information about Queen Guinivere in return for some Tavern Tokens, the currency of the Pact and Paw. For these tokens he would also forgive the debt owed to him by Astrid's familiar, Ophelia. Though exploring the Pact and Paw, the students turned familiars were able to gather the tokens they needed by participating in many small games and events including: The Bounty Board, a game where familiars would compete in stealing small trinkets from students, the Raceway, a game where familiars could challenge the super fast rabbit Hopps to a race, the Wrassle Pits where familiars could challenge the skunk Fransua to a wrassle match, the casino where the familiars could gamble away their hard earned coins, Familiar Counseling where the familiars would meet in group therapy with the prestigious Dr. Penguin, and by playing music on the stage for coins. In playing these games, the student familiars managed to steal many trinkets from the room of Jalivia de Vaironne, Arda was able to beat Hopps the rabbit in a foot race, Ophelia out wrassled Fransua even though he skunk sprayed her, Vae in the body of a Faux-Familiar and Cocoa gambled their money away before joining group therapy, and Ying played with their heavy metal band, SussurFreaks.

After gathering all the tokens they needed, the party returned to Don Bubbles Tortellini who directed them to the Doghouse, a small jail for familiars. Inside they met a weasel pretending to be a polymorphed boy, and the monkey who had caused the commotion at the lecture! The monkey was named Jack and was in cahoots with Queen Guinevere. He shared that long ago, Queen Guinevere accidentally killed her first partner, but got a taste for it in the process. She then began a campaign of tricking powerful mages into being her partner before later killing them in order to steal their knowledge. Her current mark was the young apprentice mage Lenny McGibbons who she used to sneak into Deroulex. Her plan was to use the orb to turn mortals into her familiars! She was currently at the Biblioplex searching for a spell that would allow her to cast her magic across the entire college campus.

The party rushed to the Biblioplex where they found Lenny, Queen Guinevere, and three charmed freshman. The party managed to pacify the freshman and knock out Lenny before successfully separating Queen Guinevere from the orb. Now with the orb unguarded, Arda used it to reverse the body swap spell and restore everyone's proper forms, saving the day.

=== '''FATE AT FURYGALE''' ===
'''Main Party''': Astrid Berge, Vaerith Stormaeris, Karsana, Rio Saoirse, Tachus Afigitis, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr

'''Side Party:''' Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth
The party was sent a letter through Grimmwood by Lluwen, Scalanis, Killian, Zanther, Quentillius, and Larine, calling them out to a duel in the Furygale Repository to settle numerous grievances, with duels between Astrid and Lluwen, Tachus and Killian, Zanther and Vaerith, Quentillius and Karsana, and Larine and Rio, with Scalanis and Grimmmwood serving to make sure that no one died. The party was otherwise victorious in their duels (with the exception of Killian, who defeated Tachus), allowing the students to get some much needed grievances out. However, after that, the members of Quentillius's team began falling unconscious one by one, and Quentillius, who believed it was the party cheating in the duels, attempted to cast a spell to restrain them, which went wild and accidentally summoned an Oni, which the party was able to swiftly take them down. In the aftermath of the fight, the unconscious students woke up, and, not trusting the party fully, went to the infirmary (or in Quentillius's case, back to their dorm) by themselves. In discussing the mystery of what happened, Lardriira'xyra was called in to cast Remove Curse on Rio, and it was revealed that they were a traitor. The party tried to make sense of what was happening, but they went their separate ways with only some questions answered, and many more asked...

=== '''DRESSING FOR SUCCESS''' ===
'''Main Party:''' Blova Holyspell, Bellow d'Avalon, Jalivia de Vaironne, Astrid Berge, Vaerith Stormaeris, Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Xi Bloodwood, Ambiance Faira
Our story begins today with the party all having been given an open invitation by Dean Tullus to a fashion design show at the Rose Stage, challenging the party to what she believes is the "true" theme of the Masquerade, that being that the shining stars of history are eternal, and the party should too attempt to represent the history of Deroulex and the history of Quelmar in their outfits. The players were then tasked with searching out historical events on the Quelmar Wiki to base their outfits from, with topics including the Origins of Isonhound, the Ascension of Deroulex's Oracle, the Infernal Emergence, The Resting Places of the Deroulex Dragons, Xarzith-Dian, The Frozen Dawn, and more. While researching these topics, Bellow, Blova, and Jalivia discovered some discrepancies in Deroulex's record keeping, and upon cross-checking it with other records, discovered that the reason the records were missing is due to an abnormally high concentration and number of student deaths that year at Deroulex. Armed with this knowledge and making a soft plan to stay vigilant at the Magister's Masquerade, they return to the fashion show, pairing off into pairs of designers and models alongside their classmates Melwythorne, Tilana Kapule, Rubina Larkingdale, Aurora Luna Wynterstarr, and Zanther Bowen, to create quite a show and raise some money to line the character's pockets as more expenses are surely to come.

一明・朝来 (Home name)
Big Guy (Skelly)|marital=Single|birthDate=The second day of the third tenday of Junonia, 97 PR|birthPlace=Troverth|species=Troverthian Ursin|gender=Male|height=8'9"|weight=1,489lbs|eyes=Black}}'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a Level 2 [[Ursin (Player Race)|Troverthian Ursin]] Peace Cleric / Level 2 Shepherd Druid / Level 2 Monk in [[Bedlam in the Badlands]]. He is played by Amia.

A wandering monk from [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverth]], he set out on his journey in service of [[Dao Shinto]] three years before the events of the campaign began to bring peace, harmony, and happiness with the spirits and the mortals long before he even heard mention of a demonic thread invading Pteris, which he luckily happened to be in the nearby vicinity. As scared as he may be, he sees it as the best test of his faith. After all, his ideals pull him in that direction, do they not?

== Physical Appearance ==
This is the choice I've made tens of thousands of times.
Ichake Asaku has the traditional patterning of a panda bear, largely white fur with portions of black fur, and black claws. He wears pretty loose-fitting, blue-grey robes with sky blue accents, included a blue-corded belt and necklace with a magatama on it.

== Personality ==
I'll respond to the call of my irritated fate.
Ichake is incredibly reverent in every aspect in their daily life, but not to a point where they become overly uptight or stuck-up. He genuinely believes that the world could be better if everyone treated each other with kindness, peace, and harmony. He knows it's not always possible, but from what he's seen, it usually works.

== History ==
I think I'll give up on giving up.
He set out to help people before he even knew they needed it. Time and time again, Ichake has heard that you can't help people who don't want to be helped. But could he help the people who didn't yet need it? It's a question that Ichake has pondered since the beginning of time, but one that he never thought he'd have to put into practice as he set out on his lonely road throughout all of Quelmar, attempting to spread peace and harmony. Little did he know that the actions of his hometown would make it all the more hard.<blockquote>The following section is in Layman's notes for now</blockquote>

=== 2/3/2/117 - DAY OF DEPARTURE ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR'''

It is Ichake's 20th Birthday today. Normally, a birthday is meant to be a day of great excitement. Today is no exception, but there is also a lingering sense of nervousness within it. Today is the day that Ichake finally gets to depart from home. He has never left the bounds of Qiuxing with the exception of minor expeditions to the grassy bounds outside of the city to gather herbs and minor supplies to live with and do his religious work. Years of curiosity about the way the world works has finally culminated in his grand sendoff from the Asaku Conclave, the most well known conclave of worshippers to Dao Shinto. Who knows what he'll find on his exceptional journey? He sets out into the world, and it's almost as if the winds have blessed his very back. As if Dao Shinto whispers in his ear, blessing his feet, urging him onwards. But he's unaware of the tragedies that may await him.

=== 6/4/2/117 - ARRIVAL IN [[Friþleas|FRIþLEAS]] ===
'''THE SIXTH DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 117 PR'''

After 14 days of travel throughout the region of Troverth, Ichake arrives in [[Friþleas]], and submits himself to the city's laws. He's unsure as to why a place would need to be so strict with the people coming and going, especially when it comes to magic. Isn't magic a tool that is supposed to help people instead of hurting them? He doesn't understand the city's restrictions on both raw magical power and infused magical items, but he's not planning to rebel or challenge the laws in any way, he's happy to follow them and maybe learn more in the meantime. He stays a few days in the main city, enjoying the culture, meeting the religious groups within the city and doing work to help those who need it, before he sets out in the direction of the [[University of Xyrneiros]], planning to drift between the two for a long while.

=== 9/1/5/121 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Friþleas|FRIþLEAS]] ===
'''THE NINTH DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 120 PR'''

It's been three years since Ichake first arrived in both [[Friþleas]] and Presmarivale, and he feels he's become all the wiser for it. Both of the city have deep, shadowy undersides, but what sets Ichake apart from the lawful people who inhabit both cities is that he doesn't seek to fight it, squash it, or reign it into submission. Just as peace was once made between Glendoveer and Champerty (a peace that he was sure to uphold while he drifted between the two towns), he too believed that he could be a shining beacon of peace could be made between the shadow and the light. He was ready to congratulate his friends from the [[University of Xyrneiros]] on their graduation, and made plans to set out from [[Friþleas]] that day...until the news broke. Of the Troverthian Demonic Infiltration. He couldn't hide that he was from Troverth any better than a cheetah could change their spots, and with the authorities descending upon him, accusing him of being a secret agent to sow chaos in the city...all he could do was run, with his tail between his legs like a dog. Maybe he really became one. In any sense, he boarded the first boat that was leaving the city, and everything he knew behind.

=== 7/6/6/121 - ARRIVAL IN [[Saltport|SALTPORT]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SIXTH TENDAY OF DALSK, 120 PR'''

Ichake arrives in Saltport after a long boat ride, where news of the Demonic Experiments in Troverth has not quite spread yet. He abandons his faith entirely while he is here, a period of his life he doesn't like to refer to, known as the Demonic Grip. Because of this, he has developed a deep fear of demons with charm-based effects, as well as an underlying missive of intimacy due to avoiding human contact for so long.

=== 2/3/2/124 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Saltport|SALTPORT]] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR'''

On Ichake's 27th Birthday, he realizes that even though his hometown has forsaken him, he should not forsake it. He proclaims himself again as Asaku of Troverth, and begins to set out on his missionary work again, departing from Saltport and taking a boat up to Xandria in service of Dao Shinto.

=== 2/4/2/124 - ARRIVAL IN [[Xandria|XANDRIA]] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE FOURTH TENDAY OF JUNONIA, 124 PR'''

Ichake arrives in Xandria, and spends some time letting the cold refresh himself, since the heat of southern Quelmar has a tendency to melt the poor, fluffy panda bear in an instant (foreshadowing). He makes a life for himself here in Xandria, and is slowly able to shed the label of his old name in Troverth. Even when the news hits, people don't judge him as harshly for it.

=== 7/7/7/127 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Xandria|XANDRIA]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH TENDAY OF KENTGANNON, 126 PR'''

Even though he largely recognizes the Troverth Demonic Infiltration as not his fault, he still feels the need to atone for it. He considers himself a new worshipper to Dao Shinto in this regard, despite him being told it was as if he'd never left. He decides to trek through the harsh climate of Breme on a journey of self-discovery and atonement for letting the Demonic Infiltration slip under his nose.

=== 2/5/12/127 - ARRIVAL IN [https://quelmarwiki.com/wiki/Kars%C3%B6 KARSÖ] ===
'''THE SECOND DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF TORUSTELL, 126 PR'''

After a long five months of trekking through the snow-covered mountains, camping in the cold, and learning new things about himself when pushed to the limits of his mind, body, and soul, Ichake arrives in Karsö. He doesn't plan to stay long, only a little under a year, but one thing he learned from his journey is he wants to explore more of the world.

=== 1/1/1/128 - DEPARTURE FROM [https://quelmarwiki.com/wiki/Kars%C3%B6 KARSÖ] ===
'''THE FIRST DAY OF THE FIRST TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR'''

After a little under a year of replenishing his supplies and making a small, but modest living for himself, Ichake is ready to set out again. He wants to explore more of Isonhound, the place that he lived in under such bad terms, and see it in a bit of a more positive light. On New Year's Day, there's a boat from Karsö to Fallhorn City, which he sees as a blessing.

=== 4/2/1/128 - ARRIVAL IN [[Fallhorn City|FALLHORN CITY]] ===
'''THE FOURTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ARRECHRYLIS, 128 PR'''

Ichake arrived in the city, and despite being forced to be relegated to the slums of the city, something that is generally not recommended to be done in Fallhorn City, he's able to make peace with it. After all, having just trekked throughout Breme, there's quite a lot that Ichake can handle (Unless it's the heat). Plus, he's happy to be a comforting presence to the other people living in the city.

=== 7/3/10/134 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Fallhorn City|FALLHORN CITY]] ===
'''THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR'''

After six long years helping people in the city, Ichake recognizes when it's his time to leave. He can't overstay his welcome, after all! Though, no matter how far he goes, he'll always be thankful to the people he was able to help in Fallhorn City. However, the boats from the city have a tendency to only go north, and Ichake wants to challenge himself by eventually getting to Pteris, so he begins to walk south.

=== 10/3/10/134 - ARRIVAL IN [[Fasiltum|FASILTUM]] ===
'''THE TENTH DAY OF THE THIRD TENDAY OF GZY'X, 130 PR'''

Ichake decides it would likely be best to micro-dose living in a coastal/tropical climate to acclimate to the heat of Pteris, which is an idea that proves smart, but ultimately still a struggle. Despite that, he arrives in Fasiltum after about a 3-day walk from Fallhorn City, and decides to get to work the way he always does - picking up odd jobs to make money and build up his funds.

=== 6/8/4/136 - DEPARTURE FROM [[Fasiltum|FASILTUM]] ===
'''THE SIXTH DAY OF THE EIGTH TENDAY OF GROVENDER, 136 PR'''

It's only been about two years since Ichake first arrived in Fasiltum, and his exposure therapy to the heat has been going pretty well! He's been able to acclimate to the warmer temperatures by keeping his fur shorter, but still fluffy. However, this has instilled in him a new sense of hubris that he can handle Pteris, and with his funds newly amassed, he plans to set out and start off his journey in Pteris heading into the hottest time of the year.

=== 8/2/5/136 - ARRIVAL IN [[Pteris|PTERIS]] ===
'''THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE SECOND TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 136 PR'''

After making the boat journey down to the northern shores of Pteris, he is excited to set out on this brand new walk of life! His hubris does get the better of him somewhat, but he's happy to be on this new journey. For once, he doesn't have a clue of where he's trying to go, since most people in Pteris live away from the ocean, but by wandering around, he's able to enjoy his time in Pteris.

=== 8/5/5/136 - ARRIVAL AT [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Arboretum Marketplace|THE ARBORETUM]] ===
'''THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE FIFTH TENDAY OF ORBRAZE, 136 PR'''

Ichake arrives in the Arboretum for the events of [[Bedlam in the Badlands|"Bedlam in the Badlands."]]

See "The Story So Far" for more details.

=== [SCHROEDINGER'S DATE] - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES ===
[SCHROEDINGER'S DATE]

Ichake continues his journey onwards after the events of the campaign, looking to complete his walk around the world.

== The Story So Far - Bedlam In The Badlands ==
Even now, you're still there, right?

=== '''"STOP THE SWARMING DEMONS!" - 3/11/2026 - Amanda''' ===
Ichake's first appearance was in the episode "Stop The Swarming Demons!" where they ventured forth with [[Wynnipher Winchester]], [[Patches Vanderburg]], and [[Avel]]. Without having the requisite money to rent horses, the six-day walk was made in record heat waves within the deserts of Pteris. Everyone spent the trip offsetting heatstroke, mirages, sandstorms, and hunger, searching the desert for sources of food and water, telling stories, looking for stars, and generally enjoying each other's company. After six days of travel, they came across a familiar stone structure, and found a screaming halfling with a dustrunner running from swarms of detached demon heads that were harassing them. Thinking back to the Arboretum, where they saw someone run in before their head transformed into one of the demons and flew off filled them with rage, but they were unfortunately not able to do anything for Avel who was cursed with their demonification effects. With 14 hours on the clock, they manage to dispatch the swarms of demons, and discover that the halfling, introduced as Ryzen, as well as his dustrunner, have also been cursed. Before too long, the dustrunner succumbs to the curse and turns into a demon, but with careful preparation, the party is able to dispatch it without much effort. They take the time to catch their breath, before making haste towards Yuru's location, with the hopes that Yuru can cure Ryzen and Avel of their curse. They begin to make their way up the rock wall, but Patches's heavy armor begins to get the better of them, alerting hordes of demonic corpses to their presence, forcing them to fight back. The Ruin Demon is strong, tiny insects comprised with the faces of men and the stingers of their genitalia, and Ichake attempts to hold fast in its wake. However, as the biggest member of the party, the demon wants it most, speaking into Ichake's mind that it will use it to propagate, something that deeply unsettles him due to a fear of intimacy. They're far from out of the woods yet as demons continue to strike from the rock edifice, surrounding the party. Ichake is caught between a rock and a hard place when he is surrounded by the Ruin Demon and its minions, including Avel who was charmed by the monster, and he feels his time is nigh as he channels all his power to attempt to bring the demon down. His best efforts are not enough, and he falls unconscious, but Patches is able to finish the job, freeing them from the Ruin Demon. The last of the Demon Heads remain, but with everyone's combined efforts, they're able to take them down without too much effort. They made their way to Yuru's tent, and they were able to cure Avel of his curse, restoring him to normal, and was sworn to secrecy about Silk, the main export of the Shepherds, which can greatly enhance someone's magical power. It's incredibly potent, and people will kill over it. They celebrate with some prickly pear juice and learn about a Harvest that is happening within the next month, and stay at the Shepherd cache for the night, before beginning the long journey back. They look to try and find proof of the demonic heads and their appearance, and manage to find a hidden room in the rocky plateau where the demons were coming from. He plucks the cursed amulet from the statue, rendering the ritualistic circle there defunct. The party also finds the carving of a door in the wall with runes in Sylvan, which Ichake and Avel are able to translate to read "Two-faced, beginning and end, I swing from one to the other, speak my name and I flip for you" (A riddle, where the answer was "coin.") They manage to enter the secret room and find what appears to be some kind of lab, where someone was experimenting on Owlbears. The party makes their way back and identifies the amulet as an Amulet of Focus, which Ichake keeps and subsequently attunes to.

'''POST-SESSION DOWNTIME'''

During Ichake's downtime, he had a brief communion session with Dao Shinto, who warned him that Himo and Steady Wind were likely still alive, but being tortured. With not much time left to go out, Ichake bought a Ruby of the War Mage and a shield to increase his combat prowess, and made plans to set out with the others.

=== '''"INTO THE VALLEY" - 3/13/2026 - Chris''' ===
Ichake's next appearance was in the session "Into The Valley" where they ventured forth with [[Lenore]], [[Skelly]], [[Syl Vipershade]], and [[Demir Nightshade]] into the Valley of No Return. Some people venture forth seeking vengeance, some people venture forth seeking rescue for their lost friend, but no matter what, the prospect is grim indeed. The session cold-opens at the Federation HQ, which the party spent seven days venturing to, and despite being loosely advised not to go, they tell you that the Valley of No Return and the place where [[Himo Nilo|Himo]] and [[Steady Wind]] were being held is a two-day walk northward. As they begin to travel into the valley, with the sand shifting to red, Ichake spots tunnels with the sound of buzzing bugs coming from them. After some consideration, they decide to ignore the bugs and continue onwards, since the party is a little bit hard-pressed for fighters. The bugs began to start whispering in the party's head, attempting to warn them away from the Valley of No Return, which caused Ichake to spiral slightly as he was reminded of the Ruin Demon from "Stop The Swarming Demons!" However, he was able to press on with everyone else, and find the temple. Ichake volunteered to take the lead walking into the temple, due to being the biggest person in the party, and when pressed with the decision to follow the arrows etched into the floor or ignore them, the party chose to follow the arrows around the dark, winding maze of the temple. Eventually, the party came across a locked door, and when Syl picked it open, they discovered an altar for blood offerings in the image of the demonic minotaur spirit that Ichake saw leave Steady Wind during his torture in Ichake's vision. Rattled, they choose to press on. They continue to follow the arrows through the maze, and eventually come across a set of double doors, moss and peagrass lining the exterior of it, similar to the moss draped across the demonic minotaur's antlers, but notably different. Upon opening the door, Ichake almost reeled in horror, as they found the four-pillared room where Steady Wind and Himo were being kept. They found Himo and Steady Wind, but tragically, they were already passed away. Distraught and heartbroken, Ichake begins to consecrate the bodies for departure to the afterlife, or he would...if they weren't already undead. Suddenly, the demonic minotaur comes from the other room, ready to complete his ritual...and the party swings into combat. Ichake puts their Amulet of Focus to good use, storing a cast of Bless within it to protect it from harm, but the demon's watchful gaze tips off Ichake that it knows his ploy, so he retreats. He spent some time setting up the spirits to be on the party's side, and moves in to strike before getting blasted by lightning. This blast only enrages him further, as he summons the Shrine Watcher Staff and moves to strike. However, hopes are thin as his teammates weather damage, and newly renewed in his vows, Dao Shinto's presence fills the room as he uses his Balm of Peace. He and the demon take a chance to exchange blows and words, as they argue about the efficacy of peace in the land. The demon points out that by coming here, they left the druids to die, but Ichake stands firm in his belief that this was the right call, by telling the demon that the freedom to believe in the future we want is the most beautiful thing of all. Despite this, the demon still kicks Ichake hard, knocking Ichake to the floor. Despite that, Syl manages to get the final hit, and with one final warning, the demon begins to melt into ichor, requesting the party brings more combat to the altared chamber. They continue deeper into the temple, hoping to uncover what it is that Himo and Steady Wind went into the temple they find. While looking around, they found a living quarters where Syl's old boss, Ter, had been staying. They also find a room filled with caged critters, and despite their demonic appearances, Ichake had a soft spot for them, since they looked so peaceful while they were asleep. They backtrack, and Ichake climbs the wall to collect some of the moss from the Altar Chamber, and with Dao Shinto's guidance, it is identified as "an unusual magical energy that the Drow call Fayrerzss, which permeates much of the underdark. It is generally ancient elven magic dating back to the time that the dark elves (drow) were first exiled from the above world." He pockets it and decides to bring it back to Yuru for study. They find another room with another altar, but this altar has been defiled and destroyed (though it appears to match the earlier one, with the exception of stone serpent heads lying around.) He goes to pick up one of the snake heads and feels it tingle with magical energy, and he decides against giving it to Syl as a bit, especially as Lenore warns Ichake of a powerful demon that the altar used to worship. Continuing onwards, they find a room with vials of unidentified liquid lining the walls, as well as syringes filled with the demonic black ichor (except, this one is not black and mucky, this one glistens like oil has been included.) There's also a door on the other end of the room, filled with manacles on the wall, each holding a decayed humanoid body in it that has been malformed and transformed into something grotesque. Ichake comes to realize that the force they're up against has been turning innocent people into demons, which saddens them. Beyond a set of double doors, the party finds what appears to be a war room, though there's not many papers within the room. Despite that, something has definitely been plotting here, putting x's over the Arboretum, as well as one of the altars and two other points on the map. The other points read "The Grove of Sand and Stone. Potential Nature Altar," "First Altar," and "War Altar." Ichake comes to realize that the home dialect that they grew up speaking, what he previously attributed as Troverthian, is actually Abyssal, which gives him a LOT to think about. In the final room they have yet to investigate, they find two traps, both of which containing poison darts. The first chest contained some kind of whip made out of tentacles, later identified as an a tentacled rod. The second chest contained gold. With everything thoroughly explored, the party heads back to the Federation HQ, successful in their mission, but with new purpose ahead of him, as a beam of bright purple light shoots up into the sky and dissipates, marking the changing of the tides...

=== '''"MEGAGAME 2, PART 1: BEDLAM OF THE SCRAPPERS" - 4/12/26 - Mercedes''' ===
<blockquote>''This session summary is a little bit shorter because Amia's computer crashed before she could save it.''</blockquote>Ichake never expected to find themselves on the War Rig alongside [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Stix]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], Raegina, Bafztmyr, Kicyr, and Cilvdy, but a combination of wanting to stick with Rhogar, wanting to meet and get closer with Stix and Deliah, and everyone saying that Ichake being on the infernal war rig would be "funny" found him operating as lookout on the War Rig with Bafztmyr. Before he set out, Raegina took everyone aside, and taught them both the chant of the War Rig as well as adorned their bodies with black paint to honor the souls that had been left behind in order for this mission to be carried out. With Ichake reflecting on all the people who had helped him, he decided to add handprints of black paint around the black circles that mark his eyes to represent how everyone he has met has helped him to open his eyes to the world. And with that, he set forth into the sand, operating as the shot-caller of the War Rig, taking Bafztmyr's directions and using them to chase down the Shabby Scales who had stolen something precious from Raegina. The chase was short and his directions clear, as they were able to catch and gridlock the Shabby Scales' dualwheel that they had stolen from the Shepherds, and with no peace to be made between the two, Ichake played defense when blasted with a fireball but also learned that sometimes, a situational but effective implement of peace is violence, causing Ichake to grow more into his own image. But before long, the Shabby Scales were defeated and Raegina's prize was recovered - a primitive infernal firearm called the Ember Blast, which Deliah received as a reward from Raegina. Among the loot was also a Moon Sickle, which Ichake kept.

With not much else to do, the Junker Queens and the party decided to capitalize on some of their free time and pick up on some demon bounties in the surrounding area. One such conquest took them to a cavern set with a large number of demons inside of it, including a familiar buzzing mosquito-esq demon that Ichake had seen before. Fighting blind wasn't exactly easy for them, and being surrounded by the sounds of demonic buzzing, abyssal sounds from Hunger of Hadar, and the sounds of gunfire was especially jarring, but he was able to pull through. He managed to pick up the large bones that he was looking for, as well as some other scrap to trade with the other players. The group took a minute to rest before boarding the War Rig again as the megagame continues...

=== '''"MEGAGAME 2, PART 2: WAVE OF PRESSURE" - 4/12/26 - Mercedes''' ===
<blockquote>''This session summary is a little bit shorter because Amia's computer crashed before she could save it.''</blockquote>While resting along the War Rig with [[Stix]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], Bafztmyr, Kicyr, Cilvdy, and Raegina, they found [[Dallas]] out in the sands, and had them board the War Rig, which went pretty uneventfully. However, after about an hour of travel, Bafztmyr's headache began to get worse and worse, to the point where she lost her balance and began to fall off the War Rig in a fainting spell. Ichake attempted to catch her, and succeed he did, but he also lost his balance and fell off of the War Rig as well. After stopping to rejoin the party, Bafztmyr revealed that a massive demon was coming, and the stakes were raised when Cilvdy, Kicyr, and Raegina worked together to blow a large hole in the sand to reveal a massive chamber beneath, where the drumming heartbeat of the demons and the chant of the cultists was overwhelming. They only got a brief chance to catch their bearings before a horde of crab demons burst forth from the ground, one grabbing Kicyr in it's claws and snapping her in half, killing her instantly. With crabs surrounding them and water flooding into the chamber, the party had little chance to think, putting all their efforts into getting out of the pit and keeping each other safe. Ichake made a point to be the last one out of the whole, which caused them to undergo quite a lot of damage and strain, as they had to only climb the rope with one hand, keeping the other open to catch Deliah, who was continuously falling unconscious and falling off of the rope above him. With Rhogar's help, he was able to be pulled up, where he went purely on defense, casting healing and buff spells to keep himself and his allies up and fighting, while also keeping himself defended. Never before seen, also in this fight, was the use of Heiwa, Ichake's white dove familiar, who he used to help his allies out in his time of need. Together, they were able to rally and put up a good fight, one that was drawn out for a long time due to Rhogar's insistence that smacking the crabs back down into the pit as they climbed up was a good idea. Ichake, seeking a quick resolution, casts Inflict Wounds on the final crab, putting it at peace as combat ends. With Raegina being unable to bring back Kicyr, she makes plans to look to the future, as the threat of a Crab Demoness looms on the horizon, one that Zariel failed to defend against. She makes plans to send the War Rig south to Acqua Junction, and implores the adventurers to join them on her hunt. The party returns to the Arboretum, bruised and beaten, as their adventure continues...

=== '''"LIVESTOCK AND CROP CARE" - 4/22/26 - SEAN''' ===
With the new developments in Pteris slowly calming down in the coming weeks, Ichake is tasked to returning to the original core values of the arboretum with [[Avel]], [[Ollie]], [[Dallas]], [[The Girl Bard Named Leonard|Leonard]], and [[Skelly]], by working with the Shepherds to secure the food supply for the Arboretum and ensure its safety. As is customary with a trip to help the Shepherds, a long walk to their rendezvous point is in order, which goes without much delay - Skelly and Ichake form a prime musical duo, and Ichake is also able to make short work of the jobs involving navigation and cooking due to Ichake's guidance, cooking skyr with honey and nuts, a recipe he picked up from [[Friþleas]]. He quickly got to work gardening, taking on the unenviable task of attempting to harvest a kilmatur cactus, which he learned has roots that can extend as far as 30 feet in the ground as well as a flesh that can be made into a poultice that can heal burns. However, the calm plant life is cut very short when two of the plants were revealed to be not real, and in fact, quite dangerous. A good chunk of Ichake's magic was spent keeping Dallas and Leonard up, but without much incident, they were able to take the two plants down.

The next section of their work involved checking on the livestock, where the party was jumped by a horde of chickens, flying monsters, and rudderkin. The overwhelming swarm was not easy to deal with, forcing Ichake to use Balm of Peace for the second time in the campaign. The battle between the chickens, rudderkin, and flying owl demons is...less deadly, and more of a war of attrition. Once the party gets their footing, they're able to swiftly take them down, securing the food supply and setting them on their journey back home.

=== '''"THE RITUAL OF THE RIDER" - 5/14/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
The adventure opens with the party, consisting of the characters [[Stix]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Zasheir]], [[Wynnipher Winchester|Wynnipher]], and Diana, as well as the NPCs Raegina, Nacha, Cilvdy, and Baftzmyr. It begins with everyone gathered with Raegina and the pilots of the War Rig in order to begin the journey Southbound, beginning with a brief lesson from Raegina about Qa'zaak's power and warning the party that our goal is NOT to fight Qa'zaak, but is to pave a road to [[The Acqua Junction Tiangius|Acqua Junction]], the battle site between Qa'zaak and the aquatic demons and [[Zariel]], one of which who lost. The primary goal of Raegina's further quests is a "group hiking trip," so to speak, placing pitons along the road to give easy access from the Arboretum to the War Rig with the power of silk.

Before they set out, the party plays a special game of Kicyr's Roulette, a special Ritual of the Rider Drinking Game where one must resist both alcohol and avoid special doses of poison. Ichake was confident in his own skills after playing many a risky drinking game with his housemates in [[Xandria]], powerful mages who could teach him the value of playing it subtle with your power. With a stone-cold smile and a naive demeanor, he betted the highest amount of the party. Just in case, he also ensured his monetary safety by making a deal with Stix to split their winnings, though it didn't matter in the end, since he won the competition. He did, however, get poisoned by a dose of Midnight Tears, which caused him to wake up at midnight and cough up blood. He is now a little bit scared of drinking alcohol, but is happy with his winnings.

The morning comes for departure, and Ichake takes up his classic post of lookout on the War Rig, hoping to help Baftzmyr out and also hoping to bond with Baftzmyr on the long journey ahead. To start, Ichake spotted a circle of buzzards and pointed it out to the party, who made the decision to check out the dead thing that the buzzards were circling, finding a ruptured corpse of a Kenku that Ichake initially thought was Lenore's corpse. Ichake sets the body in the ground, and they continue on. When night falls, despite being poisoned, Ichake is awoken to deal with a thread of sandwich demons. He rapidly loses patience for Zasheir, Deliah, and Wynnipher, who decide to eat the sandwich demon corpses, and commands then all to go to bed. He got a moment alone with Baftzmyr, who commanded him to stop asking if she was okay, because she won't be okay for a long time. He resolves to be a comforting presence for her in the shadows without meddling too much anymore.

On the second day, their venturing continues much as normal, and they find a tan elven woman in Gerudo-esq fashion jumping up and down, trying to get people's attention. She is beaten up, and was being chased by one of the crab demons, and the party quickly jumps into action to help. Ichake's quick use of Sanctuary and Inflict Wounds, combined with a spread of damage from everyone else, is able to take the crab down. As thanks for saving her, she gives Ichake one magical bean in a bag, which confuses him greatly, but he resolves to keep it safe as thanks for her. Ichake does not keep watch that night, and nothing happens.

On the third day, there is a sandstorm in the path of where they're trying to go, and Raegina chooses to push through it, which causes Ichake to wrap his face and eyes in his old vestments to keep the dust out of his eyes. While going through the desert, Stix hears the crying noise of an animal, but the sandstorm is too thick to see what happens. He turns down Stix's invitation to trade spots, but the heatstroke and sand gets to him, causing him to fall off the War Rig for the second time in the course of his life. No one sees him fall off, and he is forgotten, causing him to run behind the War Rig for a bit before they notice his disappearance and he jumps back on. That night, Raegina offers up to gamble, and Ichake puts money into the pot, again making a deal with Stix to split the winnings. This time, Stix won, and they shared the pot.

For their final day of travel, Ichake and the group find a group of people that seem to be going through the process of transforming into snakefolk - a man and a woman, a person with the head of a cobra, and a Yuan-Ti. They attempted to stop the War Rig and rob them, but with the help of some magically amplified intimidation and a cannon shot, Ichake is able to ward them away through intimidation. They set up for the night, having gotten four days of travel, and with the help of Nacha, he is able to be teleported back to the Arboretum in time for his next mission.

=== '''"ARRAFELL UNDERBELLY" - 5/15/26 - CAT''' ===
Though a small venturing party, Ichake meets up with [[Patches Vanderburg]] and [[Zasheir]] in order to deal with the threat of thieves in the town of Arrafell, teleporting there through the help of the Shepherds, though they do seem to be a little bit late. Eventually, they meet up with the not-Shepherds Misfit, who works in a place where they heal people (as everyone in the table collectively forgot the name) and Sir Anthony, who are acting on request of the Viscount of Arrafell. Their adventure starts with just a little bit of chaos, saving Saltique Petra and Yuru from their runaway horse, and they meet with Garrett and Nash, who are carrying a litter of crates, and the Shepherds help the party teleport to Arrafell with the power of Silk. They meet up with a tabaxi named Brightpatch, who tells them that the thieves' have had some advantage for getting into these estates that needs to be dealt with. The Viscount is suspicious, as is an artisan named Chrissy, and Brightpatch suggests they talk to Kardyl Starkmark, the owner of a local tavern. After some persuasion with her and some alcohol as a bargaining chip, Kardyl points them in the direction of the Interim City Protection Division to find one of her friends, who is suspicious about another guard named Moss, who has been comitting politically-motivated shake-downs in the name of the Viscount. She also lets slip that the Thieves' Guild is associated with the Artisan's Guild, and that there's a secret tunnel in the storage closet next to Chrissy's office. She also gives the party a cloak that bolsters max HP. With two options in front of them, the party decides to take the direct route to Chrissy's office.

With the power of pure charisma, Ichake is able to overwhelmingly convince the front desk that the party is there for a meeting with Chrissy, and instead head to the storage closet where the secret tunnel is, which Ichake is able to pick using his claws. Opening the door revealed a normal storage closet, which after some investigation, Patches is able to find the mechanism that unlocks the secret door, which slides the wall away to reveal a dark passage, which the party enters and closes behind them. Inside they find the hangout spot for the Thieves' Guild, but with setting off an alarm, a human thief is expecting them. With not much animosity between them anymore, Ichake cuts to the chase, not seeking to kill them or hurt them, but find a peaceful resolution to the problem. With this unexpected angle, a second thief, this one a tiefling, takes over, who introduces themself as Vice. Ichake and Vice go back and forth for a bit, with Vice requesting for them to harass Xalyth on their behalf. They can't turn away from crime, but in return, they agree to give the party information on Toi'Viral, a famous reformed demon who wished away the dragons and brought in the start of the PR Era. She has an amulet that can be used to contact her, which is in the city of Arrafell somewhere that Vice knows. In order to find Xalyth, Vice sends them to talk with Captain Brior Windward. Notably, Vice does register as possibly a demon.

Talking with the Captain points them in the direction of the cultist's old haunt in a hand-waved discussion, which leads them to the sewer access to the cultist's lair. Patches, having dealt with the cultists before, is able to lead them into the main chamber where cultists are found, as well as a large demon called a Chasme. Ichake jumps in to kill the demon, but the scuffle leaves him much worse for wear, ad his vitality is sapped and he is wounded. With the main threat gone, Ichake falls back, leaving the last two cultists to be killed by Zasheir and Patches. With everyone injured, they retreat back to the Arboretum, waiting for Vice's info to follow them.

=== '''"WAR RIG TO ACQUA JUNCTION: EPISODE 2" - 6/26/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
This next adventure begins with [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]], [[Skelly]], [[Delaiah|Deliah]], alongside new friends [[Glorivesh|Gloria]] and [[Voscaera]], as they Silk their way back down to the War Rig for another lovely adventure. However, the adventure does not start very well, as everyone except Skelly and Deliah pukes their guts out due to the Silk Travel. Nevertheless, they persist. Before they set out as well, Ichake checks in with Baftzmyr, who boldly announces that they are not friends, which hurts Ichake a little bit. During their first day of travel, they come across a dancer flanked by multiple camouflaged mages. They had a brief conversation, but otherwise couldn't connect over anything. That night, Raegina treated everyone to another game of Poison Roulette, where Ichake once again took home the prize pool of 335 gold, edging out a win against Voscaera. The second day of travel brings many more eventful surprises, as the party finds the Jewlspar Excavation crew, led by a halfling named Abby, who are digging into the Badlands in the search of something magical. Ichake spent some time talking with the Firbolg Adrian about finding a dragon skeleton, and helps him dig for some time. However, not too far into their search, a scorpion-tailed lady with a scorpion at her side comes to usurp the dig site, which sends everyone into combat. Devorah, the woman, and Scorpikus hit hard, but with the help of a powerful Balm of Peace and Syl's unfettered bloodlust allow the party to emerge triumphant over the two, protecting the dig site. They were able to take home some relics to investigate, including the blue marrow-like crystal that they were digging up to be investigated in the Arboretum and one half of a Flintrock pistol that Skelly pocketed. Back on the War Rig, who knows where the adventure will take them next...

=== '''"THE FIDDLEHEAD FOLLIES" - 6/27/26 - MERCEDES''' ===
The War Rig journey continues (notably during the same day for Amia due to being in Japan) with [[Delaiah|Deliah]], [[Voscaera]], and [[Skelly]], but in the place of [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]] and [[Glorivesh|Gloria]] comes [[Diana]] and [[Zasheir]]. The first day of travel begins with Voscaera, Skelly, and Ichake geeking out over a horned skull that they find by the side of the road. Picking it up reveals that it is rife with infernal magic, and despite Ichake's wishes, Voscaera takes the skull and gets himself hurt, which puts Ichake in a mood. He puts Voscaera in time-out, and the ensuing argument causes them to miss the next possible encounter in the form of a dryad woman. When the party pulls over for the night and Raegina breaks out the poisoned liquor again, Deliah gets into an argument with the party about being a spoilsport, but she declines to play. Regardless, this is Round 2 of the fated bout between Ichake and Voscaera. Ichake loses this bout, and passes out from intoxication.

For Day 2 of travel, Ichake wakes up early and takes the rare opportunity to help drive the War Rig, taking Deliah's spot. As they drive, they spot an up-and-coming circus, called the Fiddlehead Follies, and after learning it's similar to the summer festivals from back home, he jumps at the opportunity to be a child again and sprints in. He and Skelly decide to go watch the doll show, but when he can't think of something to trade, Skelly comes in clutch and gives away an extra tooth so he can see the show. Everyone ends up arriving at the tent around the same time, just in time for the doll show. Notably, right before the show starts, Ichake plants his magic bean into the dirt in front of him, just in case he'll need it, but he is admittedly tired of everyone being in edge. When the bean sprouts, a geyser of beer erupts from the ground, which causes the marionettes to draw back in shock, but seemingly get pulled back against their will. As tensions rise, it's made clear that the marionettes are being held against their will, which clears Ichake to act lethally as they fly into combat. However, as they realized how outmatched they are, the party is forced to flee with the marionettes and their lives, losing one in the process but taking her cogwork heart and the pieces of her shattered corpse. They flee back to the rig, and Ichake teleports back home as the journey continues...

=== '''"THE EDGE OF THE WORLD" - 8/19/26 - CHRIS''' ===
After taking some time off to attempt to help the marionette sisters, Ichake picks up a quest to venture forth into the Underdark alongside[[Voscaera]], [[Syl Vipershade|Syl]], [[Rhogar Dreel|Rhogar]], [[Koro]], and Yuki. After a full day of travel to meet at the crossroads, everyone meets up with the archaeological society that they've been helping, and make plans to continue down the left path towards the coastline, with the hopes of making better efforts than a three-day venture. After four days of tiring, but otherwise uneventful travel, the party finds a wall that leads to an alcove that doesn't seem to be part of the natural cave structure of the Underdark. It appears to be only a 10-foot alcove, but an illusory wall reveals an dark, ornate room filled with pedestals with nothing on them. There's a mosaic on the floor depicting twin women, but Ichake can't place what it's from. Syl is able to further identify it as twin god sisters, and Rhogar identifies them as Selune and Shar. Upon further investigation, Ichake discovers that they are in an Abbey that seems to worship both. The temple seems to be pushing them towards making a choice between Selune and Shar, so the party attempts to explore everything else before that. However, before long, a priest arrives, and offers to lead them to the altar in the abbey, but he seems to be hiding some of the truth. They pass by another room at the priest's request, seeming to be another bedroom, and find their way to the dining room at the end of the hall. The priest leads them into the reflecting room for Selune, and introduces themselves as Ezekiel, before he departs to continue his work. Ichake uses the water to briefly pray to Dao Shinto, and sees a vision of the Arboretum as a bustling and lively town where Ichake has erected a temple to Dao Shinto for pilgrimage to the Ying Sect, as well as receiving the blessing from who he presumes to be Selune. After being refreshed, Voscaera attempts to fill a vial with the water from the altar, and receives the same blessing, though the water turns a murky black. When Syl casts Detect Magic on the entire area, the entire temple transforms to that of a Sharran visage, leading the party to look for answers in the back room from Ezekiel, where he attacks to "show the might of Shar." During the fight, it is revealed that Ichake and Voscaera are cursed, and unless saved, are doomed to die in the Shadow's Abbey, as magic forbids them from leaving. After a tense battle, the party continues to explore the Abbey, and they find a long, long staircase, one that is a full day's walk long. They find a ladder, and pull themselves up, to discover that it's a secret passage underneath the Arafell Throne Room (where Ichake also discovers he's no longer cursed. They retreat, and continue back on their way, walking for another day or two, until they find a clearing with a waterfall. Dao Shinto comes to Ichake to tell him that this is the edge of the world. Grateful for the experience, they begin to make their way back towards the Arboretum, as his adventure continues...

== The Bracelets of Power ==
The following are powerful relics that Amia received during in-person sessions of [[Bedlam in the Badlands]], which represents important achievements in Ichake's journey (or just really cool moments.)

'''GRYYLWCUL''' - A green bracelet with gold and pink charms. Given to Amia during her first in-person session after [[Gobbo Greenskin|Gobbo Greenskin's]] death. The bracelet references the Scrapper-controlled town where Gobbo died, named after them.

'''PIZZA''' - A white, orange, and purple bracelet. Given to Amia after rolling a Natural 20 on Initiative during the War Rig chase in "Megagame 2 Part 1: Bedlam of the Scrappers." It is a reference to Quelmar's tagline, "Meets It, Beats It, Pizza Pizza."

'''SILVERY BARBS''' - A silver and purple bracelet. Given to Amia after rolling a Natural 20 to shot-call on the War Rig during "Megagame 2 Part 1: Bedlam of the Scrappers." It is a reference to the Silvery Barbs spell, featured in [[Curriculum of Chaos]].

'''NAT 20''' - An orange bracelet. Given to Amia after rolling a Natural 20 to attack a demon with Guiding Bolt during "Megagame 2 Part 1: Bedlam of the Scrappers." It is a reference to rolling a Natural 20 on the dice in D&D.

'''ONLYHEALS''' - A pink bracelet. Given to Amia after rolling a Natural 20 to attack a demon with Inflict Wounds during "Megagame 2 Part 2: Wave of Pressure." It is a reference to the memes of a site that I am not allowed to say on this Wiki.

'''Lorcan Cyril''' is a Lawful Good-Aligned Mephistopheles Tiefling Silverquill Apprentice at [[Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane]]. Though he can be a bit paranoid at times of who he is in the company of, he always does his best to put a good foot forward to stand proud and stalwart as one of the many nobles at Deroulex, which, in talking about his upbringing and niceties can accidentally make him come off as snobby and pompous.

</spotify>
Lorcan adds to Deroulex's noble collection, as is always tradition, but most people outside of other nobles have never heard of the Cyril family, due to the history behind them being largely swept under the rug. The city that the Cyril family was one of the noble families of has all but seemed to forget about them, for the better, since they were not exactly on the right side of history. They were usurped in a coup, and lost to time. Lorcan hardly dwells on this fact, and seems to have no desire to resurface their power.

He does, however, act consummately like a noble, with snobby and pompous expressions to boot, and someone who's enough of an eagle eye would wonder about that disconnect? What kind of noble would be proud of their position as a noble, but not have any desire to reclaim their family's glory? The truth is that it's all an act, one that makes Lorcan a PRIME candidate for Silverquill, both light and shadow. He acts pompous in order to keep his family's perception about him solid, because the truth of the coup is much darker than the average person would think.

The captain of the revolutionaries, the one pulling all the strings in the coup all along, was none other than Lorcan himself. And now that it's said and done, he'll carry this secret to the grave, acting normal in order to shake would-be naysayers and to keep himself within the good graces of his family. But why turn against his own family? He still loves them, but he knew what they were doing was wrong. He wanted to show them what the right thing to do was, and though they never will know it was Lorcan who forced this upon them, they have changed for the better because of it.

'''Rionya Pashar''' is a Lawful Neutral-Aligned Human Prismari Apprentice at Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane. Her modus operandi is within chaos, spectacle, and improvement - she is always seeking the next best way to improve her act. This brought her to Deroulex, as the appeal of Prismari's elemental arts program, as a fire-eater, was too good to ignore.

</spotify>
Rionya Pashar is the living embodiment of a star. The top performer of the Swatch Circus Troupe, her fire-breathing act took the spot of the last Pink Performer, and years of body paint have left her skin always a little stained by its pigment. Not that she minds though, she's fully happy to wear it as a mark of honor. She's made it big in her world, but she'll never stop chasing what comes next.

But how far can a star grow before it...burns out? This is a nagging worry that sits in the back of Rionya's mind more often than she'd like to admit. A gnawing anxiety, a growing hunger, to get better and better with fire. In order to satiate her own need to grow and improve, her methodology with fire has become dangerous. Eating pure capsacin until she feels nothing. Sleeping atop hot coals. Burning her possessions when she's not good enough. She'll do whatever it takes.

Performing means everything to her. It's everything in her life, and her fire means everything to her. It's her fire, her life, her soul, everything she needs to go to keep going. But if she keeps on trying to improve, keeps feeding herself into her fire, then what happens next? Rionya knows what happens next. When her fire outgrows her, when it gains a life of its own...she's happy to let herself be consumed by her magnum opus.<blockquote>'''Current Characters at Relationship Level 4: [[Cormack]], [[Grimmwood]]'''</blockquote>

Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane

2026-08-18T20:51:25Z

{{Infobox location|title = {{PAGENAME}}|type = [[List of Educational Institutions|Magic Academy]]|location = Located in a public demiplane 15 minutes south of [[Seglock]].|image=derouleximage.jpg}}Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane is the premiere [[List of Educational Institutions|magic academy]] of [[Isonhound]], with a special emphasis on applying the theories and practices of magic to everyday life as opposed to a standard magical school that might instead teach students how to wield magic. Despite its advertisement as a magic school, people with no magical ability will thrive just as much at Deroulex as they would any other student.

== History ==
In 730 [[BR]], there was a man. An imaginative man, and a scorned man. A man named Captain Deroulex Dapplewing. Recently having dropped out of schooling, he wanted to create a place where magic was made more approachable for anyone, attempting to do away with the modus operandi of the traditional magic academy, and instead of teaching magic itself, he wanted to show how magic at all levels could be woven into academic study, and therefore, daily life. He travelled the world, searching for assistance in his dream, and eventually made friends with the five [[Dragon|Swirled Dragons]] who helped found the school.

The first dragon he found was Velomachus Lorehold, a red-and-white swirled dragon, whose thunderous breath could put people in their place - literally. She had mastered the magical styles of order and chaos, and who wanted to encourage growth and exploration while keeping a direct conduit to the past. She offered up her power to Captain Dapplewing to be that conduit, founding ''Lorehold College of History''.

In order to further round out the colleges, Captain Dapplewing sought to unify science and art within the university's walls, leading him to lead a relationship with Galazeth Prismari, a blue-and-red swirled dragon and prominent public figure in the artistic world. A firm believer that magic should not be relegated to the realm of practicality, it was initially hard to get Galazeth on board with Captain Dapplewing's plan, but time spent together creating, perfecting, and inspiring others led them to realize that their mission was more alike than they thought, and with that, ''Prismari College of Art'' was formed.

To round out the school (and his theming), Captain Dapplewing attempted to seek out another dragon, which was not easy, as many dragons had not mastered magic's core in a way that he desired for his school. However, years of learning, study, research, and adventure eventually led him to discover Tanazir Quandrix, a green-and-blue swirled dragon with a mastery over physical reality and theoretical abstraction. Though Captain Dapplewing thought that recruiting someone so theoretically based to a school of magic, but she was the most eager to join of all the dragons. Firmly believing that knowledge should be learned for the same of learning, she eagerly supported his plan to intertwine knowledge with every day of life, forming the ''Quandrix College of the Natural World''.

With that, Deroulex was ready to open, and some fellow friends and colleagues from his old school joined him in forming the First Guard of Deroulex, dividing themselves amongst the three colleges equally. Heading the Lorehold College of History was Xanneiros Kollema, a no-nonsense professor who specialized in Order, but was apt at teaching Chaos as well. Prismari College was led by Qirora Conjurot and Quetrana Grandloft, two people locked in a constant struggle to out-ostentatious the other, leading them to lead the college handily. And finally, covering the wide breadth of magical science to be experienced, were Grahorn Torus, Sylvoril Widdershins, and Halynoa Wiltroot, who covered the wide breadth of subject material, allowing Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane to open its doors to its first year of students in 734 BR. However, as the years progressed, both internal and external forces at Deroulex began to realize the limitations of the subject material, which came to a head when Shadrix Silverquill invaded the school. His demands were simple. Separate Prismari College of Art into two, and form a new college that focused on the art that was not quite physical, the words that had power, presence, and leadership. Despite his takeover, Shadrix Silverquill was peaceful, and amicable, and together, he and Captain Dapplewing formed ''Silverquill College of the Oratory'' (Renaming Prismari to the ''Prismari College of Fine Art'' in the process). In order to staff the department, Quetrana Grandloft joined Shadrix Silverquill, happy to have a chance to spread her wings into the world of performing art.

Captain Dapplewing sought to keep up this improvement, setting his sights next on Quandrix College of the Natural World, which took up a grand majority of the school's programs. He sought to equal out the playing fields between the schools as much as possible, and set out for a dragon to divide Quandrix into divisions of nature and theory. On one of his adventures, he met a lonely and despondent green-and-black swirled dragon, who was so shy that they wouldn't even give him their name, hiding from the world due to their terrifying appearance and deathly powers. It took some time, but Captain Dapplewing was able to become close friends with the dragon, who introduced themself as Beledros Witherbloom. As thanks, they joined on the college staff, being flanked by Sylboril Widdershins and Halynoa Wiltroot as protection in order to form the ''Witherbloom College of Nature'' (renaming Quandrix to the ''Quandrix College of Theory'' in the process). And with that, in 749 BR, Deroulex was complete.

'''Dazzazn Qyxpahrgh''' is a Lawful Neutral-Aligned Black Dragonborn First-Year Student at [[Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane]]. No one seems to know too much about him. No one ever seems to want to know too much about him, since everyone can attest to his incredibly intimidating demeanor and way of life. Oddly, he seems to prefer it that way at times, since his grades speak for himself, landing him squarely in the upper percentiles in his past. Either way, the way he ticks will truly be tough to crack.

https://open.spotify.com/track/0z1o5L7HJx562xZSATcIpY?si=1aecdb9a9ab7469c
</spotify>
Dazzazn has always been big on trust. Any interaction outside of those in his close circle will always seem consummately jaded, angry, and villainous, a feat that is only aided by his large and intimidating presence, and a feat that he seems to find comfort in. There are very few people that Dazzazn trusts, and the people that he does trust never say what he really is like on the inside. It's an old habit from his upbringing that is impossible to break.

Dazzazn comes from Fallhorn City close to the border between Pteris and Isonhound. Anyone from that area of the realm would know that in Fallhorn City, the rich have control over everything, and to be rich and a criminal? That's where true power comes from. Dazzazn was always close to such a position of power, as he was the heir to a crime syndicate family that was attempting to pull strings in favor for all of dragonkind. Nothing, neither bloody nor beautiful, was outside of the realm of Dazzazn's reach, as he grew up and became a powerful enforcer.

Eventually, though, his family was discovered, and forced to scatter to the winds. Dazzazn tried to stick with his parents as best he could, and keep everything he held dear as best as he could, but as a coup came crashing down on them, everyone was scattered to the winds. With nothing else to his name or life, he trekked north, and eventually made it to Seglock. In order to keep himself from being questioned, he enrolled in Deroulex, and it's all for the best he did. Otherwise, he would have never seen how kind the world could truly be.

And finally, covering the wide breadth of magical science to be experienced, were Grahorn Torus, Sylvoril Widdershins, and Halynoa Wiltroot, who covered the wide breadth of subject material, allowing Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane to open its doors to its first year of students in 734 BR. However, as the years progressed, both internal and external forces at Deroulex began to realize the limitations of the subject material, which came to a head when Shadrix Silverquill invaded the school. His demands were simple. Separate Prismari College of Art into two, and form a new college that focused on the art that was not quite physical, the words that had power, presence, and leadership. Despite his takeover, Shadrix Silverquill was peaceful, and amicable, and together, he and Captain Dapplewing formed ''Silverquill College of the Oratory'' (Renaming Prismari to the ''Prismari College of Fine Art'' in the process). In order to staff the department, Quetrana Grandloft joined Shadrix Silverquill, happy to have a chance to spread her wings into the world of performing art.

Captain Dapplewing sought to keep up this improvement, setting his sights next on Quandrix College of the Natural World, which took up a grand majority of the school's programs. He sought to equal out the playing fields between the schools as much as possible, and set out for a dragon to divide Quandrix into divisions of nature and theory. On one of his adventures, he met a lonely and despondent green-and-black swirled dragon, who was so shy that they wouldn't even give him their name, hiding from the world due to their terrifying appearance and deathly powers. It took some time, but Captain Dapplewing was able to become close friends with the dragon, who introduced themself as Beledros Witherbloom. As thanks, they joined on the college staff, being flanked by Sylboril Widdershins and Halynoa Wiltroot as protection in order to form the ''Witherbloom College of Nature'' (renaming Quandrix to the ''Quandrix College of Theory'' in the process). And with that, in 749 BR, Deroulex was complete.

'''Rubina Larkingdale''' is a Lawful Neutral-Aligned Human Silverquill Pledgemage at Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane. She has a sort-of "quiet elegance" to her, instantly captivating a room the moment she walks in due to her measured poise and seasoned prowess as a performer. She is incredibly innately talented, landing her numerous leading roles within the Playactor's Drama Guild, something that often causes friction between her and other club members. She also is talented musically, and performes with the Deroulex Show Band Association.

Rubina's magic is a family gift, one that has been honed through generations and taking on slightly different mutations at all times, but it is well known across the realm that the Larkingdale family is a family of sound and silence, who uses their gifts as such. Though not nobility by any stretch of the meaning, they use their gifts, whether it be siren songs, forceful sound waves, or what have you, for the betterment of others, and in return, they enjoy a cushy way of life in the upper echelons of Isonhoundian families.

They do well to maintain this position, and ever since Rubina awoke to her gift of controlling volume around her, it was instilled to her from a young age the principles of reverence, elegance, and poise. She learned how to catch someone's eye just right to make them forget about everything except for her. She learned how to speak to make people feel valued, and how to hide what she really, truly thought of them. All good skills for someone to have, and when she announced to her family her "rebellious" plans of attending Deroulex and studying to become an actor, they simply gracefully noted that it would be a slightly different path for the family to take, but still supported her. It still would serve the world well.

She does, on occasion, see the rabblerousing that goes on at Deroulex, and wish that she could be like them. From a young age, she had instilled into her the importance of keeping her wits about her, so letting that appearance slip is out of the question for her. To lower her status to the people she helps would be unthinkable. But...she does see everyone enjoying drinks at the Bow's End Tavern, shouting at the Mage Tower Games and messing around when not studying, and wonder if she's a little too fashionably late to the party. <blockquote>'''Current Characters at Relationship Level 4: [[Rio]]'''</blockquote>

Dao Shinto

2026-08-09T20:25:24Z

Pokamian:

{{Infobox_god|affilliation=affiliation|name={{PAGENAME}}|image=Daoshinto.png|caption=Art of Dao Shinto from the holy texts carried by Ichake Asaku|domains=Nature, Order, Peace|alias=God of Spirits|plane=Feywild}}

'''Dao Shinto''' is the “god” of the Kami, a pervasive spiritual force that resides in everything in existence. He is a force of self-cultivation and harmony, and despite having a physical form and being a physical god, is often believed and revered to be the animistic force that resides in everything.

== Description ==
Dao Shinto is characterized as a fox-like god, with anatomy similar to that of a Vulpine. Despite this, it is a false association to assume the Vulpine and Dao Shinto are associated, they in fact have nothing in common. He has wavy, sky-blue hair and sky-blue robes to match. They often are depicted riding the clouds like a surfboard, as they interact with the mortals below throughout Quelmar.

== History & Works ==
Belief in whether Dao Shinto is largely cultural, and therefore he does not have the power to perform large-scale religious beliefs. As he is also not a "[[Mt. Celestia|Celestial God]]" and is instead from the [[The Feywild|Feywild]], it is not uncommon for someone to not believe in the existence of Dao Shinto as a whole, as opposed to most major gods, whose existence is known but maybe not followed. Dao Shinto actually prefers this, as he feels it allows him to perform blessings that are more dear to his heart.

Dao Shinto's main theological "mission" is to unite the planes of Quelmar in peace, unity, and self-improvement. Dao Shinto's followers hold the belief that the various "denominations" of creatures ([[Demon|Demons]], [[Mt. Celestia|Celestials]], [[The Feywild|Fey]], etc.) are also people, simply just from different planes. Though their ways of life are separate, there is common ground that can be established, evidenced by a good standing relationship with [[The Feywild|Quelmar's Feywild]], where Dao Shinto originated from.

Due to the influx of worshippers that happened in the wake of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], Dao Shinto had taken it upon himself to align himself with the values of his worshippers at the time, and find common ground between the demons of [[the Abyss]] and the Humanoids of Quelmar, attempting to prove once and for all that demons aren't innately evil and it is merely a byproduct of their solitude, upbringing, and lack of option. His main examples for this are [[Toi'Viral]], Koschei (Found within the player list of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]), and Vice (Found within Session 38 of [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Story So Far|Bedlam In The Badlands]]). His followers became openly divided (as there had already been a schism hidden under the surface) with some followers (known formally as the Yang Sect, detailed below) believing in peace between the realms, while some followers (known formally as the Yin Sect, detailed below) believing in aligning with the outer planes' more powerful creatures to bring about a new world order. Dao Shinto believes in the former, but believes that the polarity and intersectionality of both sides is needed to keep a neutral and open mind (and would not have the power to forsake half of his followers regardless). The Yin Sect eventually amassed enough [[Favoure]] to bring about the [[Kami War]], the darkest period in the religon's history.

== Worshippers ==
Due to being a self-improving based belief, Dao Shinto is a belief that can be worshipped by anyone of any walk of life. However, throughout the continent of [[Osugbo]], there are many noted conclaves of worshippers that have formed so-called "churches" (known as Conclaves) dedicated to their belief. They are well known within [[Osugbo]], but are still so small that many people who live outside of the conflict would not easily know it. When introducing themselves, worshippers of Dao Shinto will typically introduce themself by their conclave's name (which they share their surname with if born into the clergy), followed by their conclave's location. For example, [[Ichake Asaku]], who is from the Asaku Conclave in Troverth, commonly introduces himself as "Asaku of Troverth." The one exception to this rule is in a situation regarding one's achievement, effort, labor, or growth, where claiming ownership of the deed with one's first name is encouraged.

=== YIN SECT ===
The Yin Sect of worshippers represent the "Dark Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of growth, reflection, and improvement by seeking power and intention in everything they do. By some, they're considered evil, and even though Dao Shinto disagrees with them at times, they are ultimately still following Dao Shinto's teachings as he says them. Dao Shinto appreciates the difference in idealism over his admittedly non-specific teachings.

The most notable group of worshippers under this sect include the Asaku Conclave, a tribe of primarily [[Ursanids|Troverthian Ursin]] (Though they openly accept anyone of all walks of life). Located in the heart of [[Qiuxing]], they did not have power in the beginning of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], but they certainly had sway with the royal family in its beginning, hoping to make contact with demons in order to use their power to assist in the [[Realm War I|First Realm War]].

==== '''NOTABLE MEMBERS OF THE YIN SECT''' ====

* None so far, at the time of writing this.

=== YANG SECT ===
The Yang Sect of worshippers represent the "Light Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of peace, unity, and togetherness by missioning out to unite the planes like Dao Shinto does. By some, they're considered naive, but they have the ready blessing of Dao Shinto at their backs due to being directly aligned with the holy deeds Dao Shinto himself hopes to accomplish. If Dao Shinto was any more strict, he would forsake the followers of the Yin Sect for the Yang Sect, but he respects the individuality of both.

At the time of writing this, there is not a notable conclave of the Yang Sect that has been created yet.

==== '''NOTABLE MEMBERS OF THE YANG SECT''' ====

* [[Ichake Asaku]] (Who defected away from his Conclave over the course of his backstory and events of [[Bedlam in the Badlands]])

=== Playing A Dao Shinto Worshipper ===
People who devote their service to Dao Shinto may manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]], [[Druid|Druids]], [[Warlock|Warlocks]], [[Monk|Monks]], or [[Paladin|Paladins]], with classes and subclasses depending on the nature of their devotion, study, and sect of worship.

Either sect can contain [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Nature Domain, [[Druid|Druids]] of the Shepherd Circle, Archfey [[Warlock|Warlocks]], or [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Devotion.

Worshippers of the Yin Sect can additionally manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Order Domain, [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Glory, or [[Monk|Monks]] of the Way of the Astral Self.

Worshippers of the Yang Sect can additionally manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]] of the Peace Domain, [[Paladin|Paladins]] of the Oath of Redemption, or [[Monk|Monks]] of the Way of Mercy.

== Notable Holy Sites ==
Due to the widespread belief that everything contains spiritual energy under Dao Shinto, it did not become a large priority for holy sites to be built, instead that travelers who believed in Dao Shinto would be able to find each other on their paths and bless each other’s journeys through the world. However, due to the demonic uprising, the first holy site to Dao Shinto, known as the Su Torii, was crafted by [[Ichake Asaku]].

=== The Èmózhījiā ===
[[File:Demonhouse.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Èmózhījiā (Qingyang Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan, China)]]

The Èmózhījiā is the flagship temple to Dao Shinto in [[Qiuxing]], constructed after the city's destruction during the events of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]. It is the home of the Asaku Conclave of Dao Shinto. The Èmózhījiā is considered to be the biggest hub for the Yin Sect of Dao Shinto Worshippers, and located less than two blocks away from the gates of the main palace itself. It handles most, if not all, of [[Qiuxing]]'s spiritual affairs, from festivals to religious sermons, and included within the walls of the two-acre holy ground is also a school that is attended by many children in Qiuxing, a school that prides itself on being the prime source of learning the [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverthian]] Language (a front for the [[Abyssal|Abyssal Language]], to make communications with demons easier.)

=== The Su Torī ===
[[File:Sutorii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Su Torii (Dondo Yaki in Kyotango, Japan)]]

The Su Torī is the first dedicated holy site made for Dao Shinto outside of Osugbo, and has since gained renown in the ages to come despite being a very small dedication to Dao Shinto. A small campfire on the outskirts of the Arboretum where [[Ichake Asaku]] would retire after the day’s work, and hear the stories of people who wished to share them. [[Ichake Asaku]] believed that the act of devotion to Dao Shinto was enough to make a holy site, and never actively acted upon making it more powerful and more vibrant, though he wouldn’t say no to if someone wished to spruce it up.

Most notably around the campfire is dedications to everyone that has been lost to the [[Demonic Infiltration]], memoriums of every spirit who lost their life in the struggle. The list of the people memorialized (and what is there) in the Su Torī are listed below:

* [[Gobbo Greenskin]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* [[Nid]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])

Dao Shinto

'''Dao Shinto''' is the “god” of the Kami, a pervasive spiritual force that resides in everything in existence. He is a force of self-cultivation and harmony, and despite having a physical form and being a physical god, is often believed and revered to be the animistic force that resides in everything.

== Description ==
Dao Shinto is characterized as a fox-like god, with anatomy similar to that of a Vulpine. Despite this, it is a false association to assume the Vulpine and Dao Shinto are associated, they in fact have nothing in common. He has wavy, sky-blue hair and sky-blue robes to match. They often are depicted riding the clouds like a surfboard, as they interact with the mortals below throughout Quelmar.

== History & Works ==
Belief in whether Dao Shinto is largely cultural, and therefore he does not have the power to perform large-scale religious beliefs. As he is also not a "[[Mt. Celestia|Celestial God]]" and is instead from the [[The Feywild|Feywild]], it is not uncommon for someone to not believe in the existence of Dao Shinto as a whole, as opposed to most major gods, whose existence is known but maybe not followed. Dao Shinto actually prefers this, as he feels it allows him to perform blessings that are more dear to his heart.

Dao Shinto's main theological "mission" is to unite the planes of Quelmar in peace, unity, and self-improvement. Dao Shinto's followers hold the belief that the various "denominations" of creatures ([[Demon|Demons]], [[Mt. Celestia|Celestials]], [[The Feywild|Fey]], etc.) are also people, simply just from different planes. Though their ways of life are separate, there is common ground that can be established, evidenced by a good standing relationship with [[The Feywild|Quelmar's Feywild]], where Dao Shinto originated from.

Due to the influx of worshippers that happened in the wake of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], Dao Shinto had taken it upon himself to align himself with the values of his worshippers at the time, and find common ground between the demons of [[the Abyss]] and the Humanoids of Quelmar, attempting to prove once and for all that demons aren't innately evil and it is merely a byproduct of their solitude, upbringing, and lack of option. His main examples for this are [[Toi'Viral]], Koschei (Found within the player list of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]), and Vice (Found within Session 38 of [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Story So Far|Bedlam In The Badlands]]). His followers became openly divided (as there had already been a schism hidden under the surface) with some followers (known formally as the Yang Sect, detailed below) believing in peace between the realms, while some followers (known formally as the Yin Sect, detailed below) believing in aligning with the outer planes' more powerful creatures to bring about a new world order. Dao Shinto believes in the former, but believes that the polarity and intersectionality of both sides is needed to keep a neutral and open mind (and would not have the power to forsake half of his followers regardless). The Yin Sect eventually amassed enough [[Favoure]] to bring about the [[Kami War]], the darkest period in the religon's history.

== Worshippers ==
Due to being a self-improving based belief, Dao Shinto is a belief that can be worshipped by anyone of any walk of life. However, throughout the continent of [[Osugbo]], there are many noted conclaves of worshippers that have formed so-called "churches" (known as Conclaves) dedicated to their belief. They are well known within [[Osugbo]], but are still so small that many people who live outside of the conflict would not easily know it. When introducing themselves, worshippers of Dao Shinto will typically introduce themself by their conclave's name (which they share their surname with if born into the clergy), followed by their conclave's location. For example, [[Ichake Asaku]], who is from the Asaku Conclave in Troverth, commonly introduces himself as "Asaku of Troverth." The one exception to this rule is in a situation regarding one's achievement, effort, labor, or growth, where claiming ownership of the deed with one's first name is encouraged.

=== YIN SECT ===
The Yin Sect of worshippers represent the "Dark Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of growth, reflection, and improvement by seeking power and intention in everything they do. By some, they're considered evil, and even though Dao Shinto disagrees with them at times, they are ultimately still following Dao Shinto's teachings as he says them. Dao Shinto appreciates the difference in idealism over his admittedly non-specific teachings.

The most notable group of worshippers under this sect include the Asaku Conclave, a tribe of primarily [[Ursanids|Troverthian Ursin]] (Though they openly accept anyone of all walks of life). Located in the heart of [[Qiuxing]], they did not have power in the beginning of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], but they certainly had sway with the royal family in its beginning, hoping to make contact with demons in order to use their power to assist in the [[Realm War I|First Realm War]].

* None so far, at the time of writing this.

=== YANG SECT ===
The Yang Sect of worshippers represent the "Light Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of peace, unity, and togetherness by missioning out to unite the planes like Dao Shinto does. By some, they're considered naive, but they have the ready blessing of Dao Shinto at their backs due to being directly aligned with the holy deeds Dao Shinto himself hopes to accomplish. If Dao Shinto was any more strict, he would forsake the followers of the Yin Sect for the Yang Sect, but he respects the individuality of both.

At the time of writing this, there is not a notable conclave of the Yang Sect that has been created yet.

=== Playing A Dao Shinto Worshipper ===
People who devote their service to Dao Shinto may manifest as [[Cleric|Clerics]], [[Druid|Druids]], [[Warlock|Warlocks]], [[Monk|Monks]], or [[Paladin|Paladins]], with classes and subclasses depending on the nature of their devotion, study, and sect of worship.

Either sect can contain Clerics of the Nature Domain, Druids of the Shepherd Circle, Archfey Warlocks, or Paladins of the Oath of Devotion.

Worshippers of the Yin Sect can additionally manifest as Clerics of the Order Domain, Paladins of the Oath of Glory, or Monks of the Way of the Astral Self.

Worshippers of the Yang Sect can additionally manifest as Clerics of the Peace Domain, Paladins of the Oath of Redemption, or Monks of the Way of Mercy.

== Notable Holy Sites ==
Due to the widespread belief that everything contains spiritual energy under Dao Shinto, it did not become a large priority for holy sites to be built, instead that travelers who believed in Dao Shinto would be able to find each other on their paths and bless each other’s journeys through the world. However, due to the demonic uprising, the first holy site to Dao Shinto, known as the Su Torii, was crafted by [[Ichake Asaku]].

=== The Èmózhījiā ===
[[File:Demonhouse.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Èmózhījiā (Qingyang Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan, China)]]

The Èmózhījiā is the flagship temple to Dao Shinto in [[Qiuxing]], constructed after the city's destruction during the events of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]. It is the home of the Asaku Conclave of Dao Shinto. The Èmózhījiā is considered to be the biggest hub for the Yin Sect of Dao Shinto Worshippers, and located less than two blocks away from the gates of the main palace itself. It handles most, if not all, of [[Qiuxing]]'s spiritual affairs, from festivals to religious sermons, and included within the walls of the two-acre holy ground is also a school that is attended by many children in Qiuxing, a school that prides itself on being the prime source of learning the [[Troverth Dynasty|Troverthian]] Language (a front for the [[Abyssal|Abyssal Language]], to make communications with demons easier.)

=== The Su Torī ===
[[File:Sutorii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Su Torii (Dondo Yaki in Kyotango, Japan)]]

The Su Torī is the first dedicated holy site made for Dao Shinto outside of Osugbo, and has since gained renown in the ages to come despite being a very small dedication to Dao Shinto. A small campfire on the outskirts of the Arboretum where [[Ichake Asaku]] would retire after the day’s work, and hear the stories of people who wished to share them. [[Ichake Asaku]] believed that the act of devotion to Dao Shinto was enough to make a holy site, and never actively acted upon making it more powerful and more vibrant, though he wouldn’t say no to if someone wished to spruce it up.

Most notably around the campfire is dedications to everyone that has been lost to the Demonic Infiltration, memoriums of every spirit who lost their life in the struggle. The list of the people memorialized (and what is there) in the Su Torii are listed below:

* [[Gobbo Greenskin]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* [[Nid]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* Daphne (A locket containing a photo of Daphne's family)

Celestia|Celestials]], [[The Feywild|Fey]], etc.) are also people, simply just from different planes. Though their ways of life are separate, there is common ground that can be established, evidenced by a good standing relationship with [[The Feywild|Quelmar's Feywild]], where Dao Shinto originated from.

Due to the influx of worshippers that happened in the wake of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], Dao Shinto had taken it upon himself to align himself with the values of his worshippers at the time, and find common ground between the demons of [[the Abyss]] and the Humanoids of Quelmar, attempting proving once and for all that demons are innately evil and it is merely a byproduct of their solitude, upbringing, and lack of option. His main examples for this are [[Toi'Viral]], Koschei (Found within the player list of [[Quelmar PHANTOMS]]), and Vice (Found within Session 38 of [[Bedlam in the Badlands/The Story So Far|Bedlam In The Badlands]]). His followers became openly divided (as there had already been a schism hidden under the surface) with some followers (known formally as the Yang Sect, detailed below) believing in peace between the realms, while some followers (known formally as the Yin Sect, detailed below) believing in aligning with the outer planes' more powerful creatures to bring about a new world order. Dao Shinto believes in the former, but believes that the polarity and intersectionality of both sides is needed to keep a neutral and open mind (and would not have the power to forsake half of his followers regardless). The Yin Sect eventually amassed enough [[Favoure]] to bring about the [[Kami War]], the darkest period in the religon's history.

== Worshippers ==
Due to being a self-improving based belief, Dao Shinto is a belief that can be worshipped by anyone of any walk of life. However, throughout the continent of [[Osugbo]], there are many noted conclaves of worshippers that have formed so-called "churches" (known as Conclaves) dedicated to their belief. They are well known within [[Osugbo]], but are still so small that many people who live outside of the conflict would not easily know it. When introducing themselves, worshippers of Dao Shinto will typically introduce themself by their conclave's name (which they share their surname with if born into the clergy), followed by their conclave's location. For example, [[Ichake Asaku]], who is from the Asaku Conclave in Troverth, commonly introduces himself as "Asaku of Troverth." The one exception to this rule is in a situation regarding one's achievement, effort, labor, or growth, where claiming ownership of the deed with one's first name is encouraged.

=== YIN SECT ===
The Yin Sect of worshippers represent the "Dark Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of growth, reflection, and improvement by seeking power and intention in everything they do. By some, they're considered evil, and even though Dao Shinto disagrees with them at times, they are ultimately still following Dao Shinto's teachings as he says them. Dao Shinto appreciates the difference in idealism over his admittedly non-specific teachings.

The most notable group of worshippers under this sect include the Asaku Conclave, a tribe of primarily [[Ursanids|Troverthian Ursin]] (Though they openly accept anyone of all walks of life). Located in the heart of [[Qiuxing|Quixing]], they did not have power in the beginning of the [[Demonic Infiltration]], but they certainly had sway with the royal family in its beginning, hoping to make contact with demons in order to use their power to assist in the [[Realm War I|First Realm War]].

==== '''NOTABLE MEMBERS OF THE YIN SECT''' ====

* None so far, at the time of writing this.

=== YANG SECT ===
The Yang Sect of worshippers represent the "Light Side" of the religion, leaning deeper into Dao Shinto's themes of peace, unity, and togetherness by missioning out to unite the planes like Dao Shinto does. By some, they're considered naive, but they have the ready blessing of Dao Shinto at their backs due to being directly aligned with the holy deeds Dao Shinto himself hopes to accomplish. If Dao Shinto was any more strict, he would forsake the followers of the Yin Sect for the Yang Sect, but he respects the individuality of both.

At the time of writing this, there is not a notable conclave of the Yang Sect that has been created yet.

=== Playing A Dao Shinto Worshipper ===
People who devote their service to Dao Shinto may manifest as Clerics, Druids, Warlocks, Monks, or Paladins, with classes and subclasses depending on the nature of their devotion, study, and sect of worship.

Either sect can contain Clerics of the Nature Domain, Druids of the Shepherd Circle, Archfey Warlocks, or Paladins of the Oath of Devotion.

Worshippers of the Yin Sect can additionally manifest as Clerics of the Order Domain, Paladins of the Oath of Glory, or Monks of the Way of the Astral Self.

Worshippers of the Yang Sect can additionally manifest as Clerics of the Peace Domain, Paladins of the Oath of Redemption, or Monks of the Way of Mercy.

== Notable Holy Sites ==
Due to the widespread belief that everything contains spiritual energy under Dao Shinto, it did not become a large priority for holy sites to be built, instead that travelers who believed in Dao Shinto would be able to find each other on their paths and bless each other’s journeys through the world. However, due to the demonic uprising, the first holy site to Dao Shinto, known as the Su Torii, was crafted by [[Ichake Asaku]].

=== Èmózhījiā ===
The Èmózhījiā is the flagship temple to Dao Shinto in [[Qiuxing|Quixing]], and is considered to be the biggest hub for the Yin Sect of Dao Shinto Worsh

=== Su Torii ===
[[File:Sutorii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A real-life representation of the Su Torii (Dondo Yaki in Kyotango, Japan)]]
The Su Torii is the first dedicated holy site made for Dao Shinto outside of Osugbo, and has since gained renown in the ages to come despite being a very small dedication to Dao Shinto. A small campfire on the outskirts of the Arboretum where [[Ichake Asaku]] would retire after the day’s work, and hear the stories of people who wished to share them. [[Ichake Asaku]] believed that the act of devotion to Dao Shinto was enough to make a holy site, and never actively acted upon making it more powerful and more vibrant, though he wouldn’t say no to if someone wished to spruce it up.

Most notably around the campfire is dedications to everyone that has been lost to the Demonic Infiltration, memoriums of every spirit who lost their life in the struggle. The list of the people memorialized (and what is there) in the Su Torii are listed below:

* [[Gobbo Greenskin]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* [[Nid]] (A funeral pyre made by [[Rhogar Dreel]])
* Daphne (A locket containing a photo of Daphne's family)

=== '''ARC SUBPLOT: FAMILY TIES''' ===
Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Jalivia de Vaironne, Amadeus Orpheus Hart, Vaerith Stormaeris
The history of the Magister's Masquerade, year after year, is something that is publically accessible, and yet few people actually find time to research. Back in the days when Deroulex was new and just starting out on its journey, the dance used to be a fundraising event for nobles to pitch in towards the success of the students. The noble presence at Deroulex has kept itself intact, and nobles are welcome to attend the dance to see the fruits of their donations. Whether indirectly or directly, this undoubtedly puts some of you under a lot of pressure.

=== '''CORDIALLY INVITED''' ===
'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr, Jalivia de Vaironne, Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Amadeus Oprheus Hart

'''Side Characters:''' Rio Saoirse, Xi Bloodwood
Our session opens before the school year actually begins, with each student moving into their apartments and seeing a vellum letter on their desk. Each student opened it, to reveal a grand invitation to this year's Magister's Masquerade, the theme being "A Starlit Night." Enclosed was also everyone's Masque Charms that they would need for the dance, as well as a second invitation to a meet-cute reception at the Bow's End Tavern hosted by Javenesh and Manneo. With time on their hands, the party accepted, and were swept up in the whirlwind of the party.

Ambi went to the bar and had a chat with Javenesh, and he asked her to help him pull a prank on Astrid. Not harmful in any way, he just wants to get a little bit of revenge and let bygones be bygones. He left the creative details up to her. Javenesh also let slip that Dean Tullus wants the focus of the ball to be about Deroulex's history, which is quite boring. When Amadeus rattled Astrid, Javenesh had a change of heart, thanking Ambi for helping with the prank, but deciding to back out.

Jalivia and Xi had a pretty serious chat about Xi's humanity, as Xi frantically tried to cover by saying that they've never drank alcohol (instead of just saying they don't drink period.) The two shared a Riesling, and had a nice chat about helping each other. Jalivia and Manneo then had one last conversation regarding Manneo's new management position at the Bow's End Tavern, and how he's admittedly a little bit nervous to fill Javenesh's shoes. He's a little bit nervous about his experimentation with food, but Jalivia was able to reassure him that he deserved this position. Manneo's confidence skyrocketed thanks to Jalivia's help. Much later in the night, Xi confessed that he wanted to dance at the dance, and asked Jalivia to go with them, which Jalivia said yes.

Grimmwood caught up with Grayson and the two of them challenged each other to try an exotic snack. Grimmwood found some pickled lotus root, and planned to bring it back to Grayson. Wouldn't luck have it, Grayson found the mushrooms, and the two had a great time together. Grayson also let slip that one of the founding dragons might make an appearance at the dance.

Rio caught up with Aurora, and the two of them talked about their summer plans and their new classes, talking about their professors. Melwythorne and Rio then bond over snacks, and the two vow to try every one. Eventually, they were able to make their way around, leaving Melwythorne satisfied, but also with a stomachache. He also lets slip that he's heard rumor that the Magister's Masquerade is actually a secret fourth exam, which he's worried about.

Xi had a chat with Javenesh, and Javenesh took them under his wing. Javenesh also let slip that the staff are trying to "peacekeep" the Mage Tower rules after incidents last year, which has students up in arms. Xi and Melwythorne then had a chat, Melwythorne commending Xi about being kind enough to try and bond with the Silkball team. The two talked about their breaks, and how Melwythorne wished he was a better student like Xi, who is always so dilligent with studying. The conversation was cut short by Melwythorne needing to visit the bathroom, but he did mention that he was still feeling on edge after Mage Hunters invaded campus last year.

Lardriira'xyra went to get a drink with Manneo, and the two talked about creating exquisite food dishes. Manneo wished he could bring his dishes to the ball, but without being a third-year or having a proxy, there's not much else he can do.

Amadeus got absolutely waisted and fell deep into the uncanny valley in appearance, but eventually, was approached by Astrid. Astrid wanted to use Amadeus's magic as insurance to prevent herself from being pranked, asking them to cast an illusion to get back at Javenesh. Amadeus instead had most of their face melt off (in a harmless changeling fashion), and they fled, screeching. Dean Tullus went after them. Many students nearby muttered around it being "the ailment," but they didn't seem to care much.

Manneo and Tilana were forced to escort a sick Melwythorne out of the tavern, as they claimed to have had one too many eel rolls. Astrid and Amadeus later had a falling out over their differences, Grimmwood moving to comfort the former while Jalivia moved to comfort the latter. Jalivia discreetly scoped out Amadeus to make sure they didn't taint the snacks, but found nothing. Ambiance and Lardriira'xyra went to check on Melwythorne, discovering that the scan just came back with indigestion and a headache that was chalked up to being drunk and having eaten too much food. Tilana later let slip that Melwythorne missed Silkball Practice that day for a meeting with a teacher, but she didn't know which teacher, or why.

=== '''THE SECRET LIFE OF FAMILIARS''' ===
'''Guest DM:''' Keller (Player of [[Jalivia de Vaironne]])

'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra and Arda, Ambiance Faira and ying, Dela Pierre and Cocoa, Vaerith Stormaeris, Astrid and Ophelia
The famous witch and Deroulex alumnistt Gertruda Grimmsly and her tortoise familiar Sheldon were visiting the campus to give a guest lecture on all things familiars. As [[Isonhound|Isonhound's]] foremost familiar expert, Gertruda came to share her knowledge and to help the Deroulex students through some simple trust exercises with their familiars. For students that did not have familiars, she had also brough her collection of Faux-milliars, magical dolls and plushies that could temporarily be animated with familiar magic. As the lecture started, the students got to speak with the freshman wizard Lenny McGibbons and his strange feline familiar, Queen Guinivere.

As the lecture began, Gertruda began to show off some of the familiar related magic items she possessed, including the famed Orb of Onnicus, an ancient relic that would allow familiars to cast powerful arcane spells. But the lecture was interrupted when a strange monkey broke into the lecture hall and began to cause chaos. As the students dealt with the monkey and attempted to protect the orb, Queen Guinivere snuck onto the lecture stage and grabbed the Orb of Onnicus. There was a flash of magic and all of the students found themselves body swapped with their familiars!

Knowing that they only had 24 hours to reverse the spell before it became permanent, Gertruda sent the students to search for clues about Queen Guinevere's location at the secret familiar sanctuary, the Pact and Paw, a garden magically concealed in the Archway Commons accessible to only familiars. Arriving at the garden through a secret tunnel, the students marveled at the gorgeous hidden world, including many attractions like cat trees, fire hydrants, bird feeders, a stage, mud pits, gambling, and even a bar. The bar was managed by a [[Unicorn]] named Adonis who had been accidentally summoned to Deroulex years ago after a Wild Magic surge. He used his [[fey]] magic to create the Pact and Paw to serve as a place where familiars could go to relax when not with their partners.

In searching for information, the party met with Don Bubbles Tortellini, the goldfish head of the Deroulex Mafia. After some terse words and a quick scuffle, the Don offered information about Queen Guinivere in return for some Tavern Tokens, the currency of the Pact and Paw. For these tokens he would also forgive the debt owed to him by Astrid's familiar, Ophelia. Though exploring the Pact and Paw, the students turned familiars were able to gather the tokens they needed by participating in many small games and events including: The Bounty Board, a game where familiars would compete in stealing small trinkets from students, the Raceway, a game where familiars could challenge the super fast rabbit Hopps to a race, the Wrassle Pits where familiars could challenge the skunk Fransua to a wrassle match, the casino where the familiars could gamble away their hard earned coins, Familiar Counseling where the familiars would meet in group therapy with the prestigious Dr. Penguin, and by playing music on the stage for coins. In playing these games, the student familiars managed to steal many trinkets from the room of Jalivia de Vaironne, Arda was able to beat Hopps the rabbit in a foot race, Ophelia out wrassled Fransua even though he skunk sprayed her, Vae in the body of a Faux-Familiar and Cocoa gambled their money away before joining group therapy, and Ying played with their heavy metal band, SussurFreaks.

After gathering all the tokens they needed, the party returned to Don Bubbles Tortellini who directed them to the Doghouse, a small jail for familiars. Inside they met a weasel pretending to be a polymorphed boy, and the monkey who had caused the commotion at the lecture! The monkey was named Jack and was in cahoots with Queen Guinevere. He shared that long ago, Queen Guinevere accidentally killed her first partner, but got a taste for it in the process. She then began a campaign of tricking powerful mages into being her partner before later killing them in order to steal their knowledge. Her current mark was the young apprentice mage Lenny McGibbons who she used to sneak into Deroulex. Her plan was to use the orb to turn mortals into her familiars! She was currently at the Biblioplex searching for a spell that would allow her to cast her magic across the entire college campus.

The party rushed to the Biblioplex where they found Lenny, Queen Guinevere, and three charmed freshman. The party managed to pacify the freshman and knock out Lenny before successfully separating Queen Guinevere from the orb. Now with the orb unguarded, Arda used it to reverse the body swap spell and restore everyone's proper forms, saving the day.

'''Side Party:''' Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth
The party was sent a letter through Grimmwood by Lluwen, Scalanis, Killian, Zanther, Quentillius, and Larine, calling them out to a duel in the Furygale Repository to settle numerous grievances, with duels between Astrid and Lluwen, Tachus and Killian, Zanther and Vaerith, Quentillius and Karsana, and Larine and Rio, with Scalanis and Grimmmwood serving to make sure that no one died. The party was otherwise victorious in their duels (with the exception of Killian, who defeated Tachus), allowing the students to get some much needed grievances out. However, after that, the members of Quentillius's team began falling unconscious one by one, and Quentillius, who believed it was the party cheating in the duels, attempted to cast a spell to restrain them, which went wild and accidentally summoned an Oni, which the party was able to swiftly take them down. In the aftermath of the fight, the unconscious students woke up, and, not trusting the party fully, went to the infirmary (or in Quentillius's case, back to their dorm) by themselves. In discussing the mystery of what happened, Lardriira'xyra was called in to cast Remove Curse on Rio, and it was revealed that they were a traitor. The party tried to make sense of what was happening, but they went their seperate ways with only some questions answered, and many more asked...

Though exploring the Pact and Paw, the students turned familiars were able to gather the tokens they needed by participating in many small games and events including: The Bounty Board, a game where familiars would compete in stealing small trinkets from students, the Raceway, a game where familiars could challenge the super fast rabbit Hopps to a race, the Wrassle Pits where familiars could challenge the skunk Fransua to a wrassle match, the casino where the familiars could gamble away their hard earned coins, Familiar Counseling where the familiars would meet in group therapy with the prestigious Dr. Penguin, and by playing music on the stage for coins. In playing these games, the student familiars managed to steal many trinkets from the room of Jalivia de Vaironne, Arda was able to beat Hopps the rabbit in a foot race, Ophelia out wrassled Fransua even though he skunk sprayed her, Vae in the body of a Faux-Familiar and Cocoa gambled their money away before joining group therapy, and Ying played with their heavy metal band, SussurFreaks.

After gathering all the tokens they needed, the party returned to Don Bubbles Tortellini who directed them to the Doghouse, a small jail for familiars. Inside they met a weasel pretending to be a polymorphed boy, and the monkey who had caused the commotion at the lecture! The monkey was named Jack and was in cahoots with Queen Guinevere. He shared that long ago, Queen Guinevere accidentally killed her first partner, but got a taste for it in the process. She then began a campaign of tricking powerful mages into being her partner before later killing them in order to steal their knowledge. Her current mark was the young apprentice mage Lenny McGibbons who she used to sneak into Deroulex. Her plan was to use the orb to turn mortals into her familiars! She was currently at the Biblioplex searching for a spell that would allow her to cast her magic across the entire college campus.

The party rushed to the Biblioplex where they found Lenny, Queen Guinevere, and three charmed freshman. The party managed to pacify the freshman and knock out Lenny before successfully separating Queen Guinevere from the orb. Now with the orb unguarded, Arda used it to reverse the body swap spell and restore everyone's proper forms, saving the day.

'''Lucy de Compasso''' is a Neutral-Aligned Aasimar Silverquill Apprentice at Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane. Her reputation as [[Rio]]'s ex-girlfriend often gives people a pretty good impression of the kind of person she is, and it's currently unclear as to whether or not she will strive to prove them wrong. She is, however, full of surprises, as despite being a very leadership-oriented and proper noble who has expressed a love for Dragonchess, she only spends her free time, when not studying, at the Live-Action Roleplaying Guild.

Lucy de Compasso is the light to the darkness, to sum it up succinctly. Born alongside [[Aurora Luna Wynterstarr]] as the prodigal daughter to the House of Hope, it was instilled into her at such a young age that status meant everything in this world, and that nothing else mattered - with enough status and power, you could make anyone bend to your whims. Spending time with her mother only proved this point, as she would watch as the right word at just the right time could break even the strongest-willed of men. And as her sense of justice wavered, so too did her skill in this regard grow.

When Lucy came of age, her life had been just as set at 18 as it was at 8 - the next heir to the angelic House of Hope, spending her life in a cage of harmony, sowing trust between people only for it to be broken. A small flicker of her still hated this role she was set to play, but as plans were made for her to marry into the Martelo family through [[Rio]], she had no time to think such thoughts. She loved Rio, sure, but with the gift of his mirror-like skin to accentuate her beauty and radiance, every time she looked, she just saw...the pressure. She snapped. Shattered Rio into pieces. He retaliated, and killed her. She could never blame him for what she did.

She was revived shortly after, and though regaining her former strength was difficult, she had a new job to do. In her absence, the House of Hope and the House of Fear had fallen into disarray, and when Lucy's mother caught wind of Aurora and Rio's presence at Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane, she was sent there posthaste to clean up her mistakes as well as to learn a thing or two about Eloquence from Silverquill's esteemed professors. But as much control as her mother has over her life...it's not a life she wants anymore. Try all she wants, but Lucy has been freed from her cage. All that's left is to atone for what she did.<blockquote>'''Current Characters at Relationship Level 4: [[Lardriira'xyra]], [[Rio]]'''</blockquote>

== Physical Appearance ==
A man on the older side of life, in his mid-40s to early-50s. He has straight-ish black hair that shows off his salt-and-pepper colors in the light, and black eyes that border on grey.

Pious, maybe, but ultimately kind, Father Jakob gives off the implicit vibes of a dad that's maybe not YOUR dad, but will be your dad nonetheless. He lives a somewhat sedentary life filled with reading and travelling, and on the surface, seems to live by two principles - he'll enjoy life's greatest pleasures, and he'll always seemingly atone for something.

Since joining Candela, he has taken a quick liking to the ways of the Circle of Allure and Altars, and is known to be a little bit charming if it'll help. Otherwise, he is a bit of a coward.

=== '''7/17/2026 - "THE SHEPHERD'S CALL"''' ===

* Jakob was "called" onto the mission by Ms. Korovich, but was already in the book store when the call happened.
* A phenomenon was discovered and it took one life. It was recorded on the news
* After learning the details, he went with Vacauus to interview Ondrej Novotný for his perspective. Seven, Celestia, and Lucien went to inspect Lukas's body.
* Upon hearing of Ondrej being prone to agitation, Father Jakob invited Gleb in for assistance. Gleb did a good job of comforting Ondrej. He was a very good boy.
* Ondrej revealed some of what the Phenomena looked like, but lamented that Lukas got a closer look. It was described as a tall, thin, strong creature, with many hands and eyes as black as spiders.
* With Seven's help, they got a police sedan from the department and took it out to the scene.
* They meet a woman named Phoebe Altyr, who after some thinly veiled flirting, revealed that she was a member of the Noman National Police and hunting down a War Criminal. She is looking for Colonel Alexei Dragunov, who was an old Hillian War Criminal. Seven, Jakob, and Phoebe all exchange cards, just in case.
* When investigating the dog tracks, a man with a gun got the jump on them, aiming it at the party. His name is Hideo Wakata, and he joins the hunting party.
* As they enter the military facility, Hideo suggests that they split up to cover more ground. Celestia, Jakob, and Gleb go with Seven, while Vacauus and Lucien go with Hideo.
* Celestia, Jakob, Gleb, and Seven encounter a miasma of bleed that seems to get thinner as they get closer to a door. However, they encounter Colonel Alexei Dragunov, who takes Seven as a hostage.
* Seven is able to incapacitate the Colonel, who calls his dog. Upon inspection, the dog seems to radiate anti-bleed, and appears to be an experiment of some kind.
* Before long, the monster approaches, and everyone gets into a bloody struggle that leaves him scarred.
* They were able to destroy it, revealing the truth of Candela to Phoebe, and returning back.

Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane

2026-07-17T01:22:31Z

Pokamian:

{{Infobox location|title = {{PAGENAME}}|type = [[List of Educational Institutions|Magic Academy]]|location = Located in a public demiplane 15 minutes south of [[Seglock]].|image=derouleximage.jpg}}Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane is the premiere [[List of Educational Institutions|magic academy]] of [[Isonhound]], with a special emphasis on applying the theories and practices of magic to everyday life as opposed to a standard magical school that might instead teach students how to wield magic. Despite its advertisement as a magic school, people with no magical ability will thrive just as much at Deroulex as they would any other student.

== History ==
In 730 [[BR]], there was a man. An imaginative man, and a scorned man. A man named Captain Deroulex Dapplewing. Recently having dropped out of schooling, he wanted to create a place where magic was made more approachable for anyone, attempting to do away with the modus operandi of the traditional magic academy, and instead of teaching magic itself, he wanted to show how magic at all levels could be woven into academic study, and therefore, daily life. He travelled the world, searching for assistance in his dream, and eventually made friends with the five [[Dragon|Swirled Dragons]] who helped found the school.

The first dragon he found was Velomachus Lorehold, a red-and-white swirled dragon, whose thunderous breath could put people in their place - literally. She had mastered the magical styles of order and chaos, and who wanted to encourage growth and exploration while keeping a direct conduit to the past. She offered up her power to Captain Dapplewing to be that conduit, founding ''Lorehold College of History''.

In order to further round out the colleges, Captain Dapplewing sought to unify science and art within the university's walls, leading him to lead a relationship with Galazeth Prismari, a blue-and-red swirled dragon and prominent public figure in the artistic world. A firm believer that magic should not be relegated to the realm of practicality, it was initially hard to get Galazeth on board with Captain Dapplewing's plan, but time spent together creating, perfecting, and inspiring others led them to realize that their mission was more alike than they thought, and with that, ''Prismari College of Art'' was formed.

To round out the school (and his theming), Captain Dapplewing attempted to seek out another dragon, which was not easy, as many dragons had not mastered magic's core in a way that he desired for his school. However, years of learning, study, research, and adventure eventually led him to discover Tanazir Quandrix, a green-and-blue swirled dragon with a mastery over physical reality and theoretical abstraction. Though Captain Dapplewing thought that recruiting someone so theoretically based to a school of magic, but she was the most eager to join of all the dragons. Firmly believing that knowledge should be learned for the same of learning, she eagerly supported his plan to intertwine knowledge with every day of life, forming the ''Quandrix College of the Natural World''.

With that, Deroulex was ready to open, and some fellow friends and colleagues from his old school joined him in forming the First Guard of Deroulex, dividing themselves amongst the three colleges equally. Heading the Lorehold College of History was Xanneiros Kollema, a no-nonsense professor who specialized in Order, but was apt at teaching Chaos as well. Prismari College was led by Qirora Conjurot and Quetrana Grandloft, two people locked in a constant struggle to out-ostentatious the other, leading them to lead the college handily. And finally, covering the wide breadth of magical science to be experienced, were Grahorn Torus, Sylvoril Widdershins, and Halynoa Wiltroot, who covered the wide breadth of subject material, allowing Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane to open its doors to its first year of students in 734 BR. However, as the years progressed, both internal and external forces at Deroulex began to realize the limitations of the subject material, which came to a head when Shadrix Silverquill invaded the school. His demands were simple. Separate Prismari College of Art into two, and form a new college that focused on the art that was not quite physical, the words that had power, presence, and leadership. Despite his takeover, Shadrix Silverquill was peaceful, and amicable, and together, he and Captain Dapplewing formed ''Silverquill College of the Oratory'' (Renaming Prismari to the ''Prismari College of Fine Art'' in the process). In order to staff the department, Quetrana Grandloft joined Shadrix Silverquill, happy to have a chance to spread her wings into the world of performing art.

Captain Dapplewing sought to keep up this improvement, setting his sights next on Quandrix College of the Natural World, which took up a grand majority of the school's programs. He sought to equal out the playing fields between the schools as much as possible, and set out for a dragon to divide Quandrix into divisions of nature and theory. On one of his adventures, he met a lonely and despondent green-and-black swirled dragon, who was so shy that they wouldn't even give him their name, hiding from the world due to their terrifying appearance and deathly powers. It took some time, but Captain Dapplewing was able to become close friends with the dragon, who introduced themself as Beledros Witherbloom. As thanks, they joined on the college staff, being flanked by Sylboril Widdershins and Halynoa Wiltroot as protection in order to form the ''Witherbloom College of Nature'' (renaming Quandrix to the ''Quandrix College of Theory'' in the process). And with that, in 749 BR, Deroulex was complete.

=== '''ARC SUBPLOT: FAMILY TIES''' ===
Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Jalivia de Vaironne, Amadeus Orpheus Hart, Vaerith Stormaeris
The history of the Magister's Masquerade, year after year, is something that is publically accessible, and yet few people actually find time to research. Back in the days when Deroulex was new and just starting out on its journey, the dance used to be a fundraising event for nobles to pitch in towards the success of the students. The noble presence at Deroulex has kept itself intact, and nobles are welcome to attend the dance to see the fruits of their donations. Whether indirectly or directly, this undoubtedly puts some of you under a lot of pressure.

=== '''CORDIALLY INVITED''' ===
'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra Nallisoth, Grimmwood drifting by Jormungandr, Jalivia de Vaironne, Ambiance Faira, Astrid Berge, Amadeus Oprheus Hart

'''Side Characters:''' Rio Saoirse, Xi Bloodwood
Our session opens before the school year actually begins, with each student moving into their apartments and seeing a vellum letter on their desk. Each student opened it, to reveal a grand invitation to this year's Magister's Masquerade, the theme being "A Starlit Night." Enclosed was also everyone's Masque Charms that they would need for the dance, as well as a second invitation to a meet-cute reception at the Bow's End Tavern hosted by Javenesh and Manneo. With time on their hands, the party accepted, and were swept up in the whirlwind of the party.

Ambi went to the bar and had a chat with Javenesh, and he asked her to help him pull a prank on Astrid. Not harmful in any way, he just wants to get a little bit of revenge and let bygones be bygones. He left the creative details up to her. Javenesh also let slip that Dean Tullus wants the focus of the ball to be about Deroulex's history, which is quite boring. When Amadeus rattled Astrid, Javenesh had a change of heart, thanking Ambi for helping with the prank, but deciding to back out.

Jalivia and Xi had a pretty serious chat about Xi's humanity, as Xi frantically tried to cover by saying that they've never drank alcohol (instead of just saying they don't drink period.) The two shared a Riesling, and had a nice chat about helping each other. Jalivia and Manneo then had one last conversation regarding Manneo's new management position at the Bow's End Tavern, and how he's admittedly a little bit nervous to fill Javenesh's shoes. He's a little bit nervous about his experimentation with food, but Jalivia was able to reassure him that he deserved this position. Manneo's confidence skyrocketed thanks to Jalivia's help. Much later in the night, Xi confessed that he wanted to dance at the dance, and asked Jalivia to go with them, which Jalivia said yes.

Grimmwood caught up with Grayson and the two of them challenged each other to try an exotic snack. Grimmwood found some pickled lotus root, and planned to bring it back to Grayson. Wouldn't luck have it, Grayson found the mushrooms, and the two had a great time together. Grayson also let slip that one of the founding dragons might make an appearance at the dance.

Rio caught up with Aurora, and the two of them talked about their summer plans and their new classes, talking about their professors. Melwythorne and Rio then bond over snacks, and the two vow to try every one. Eventually, they were able to make their way around, leaving Melwythorne satisfied, but also with a stomachache. He also lets slip that he's heard rumor that the Magister's Masquerade is actually a secret fourth exam, which he's worried about.

Xi had a chat with Javenesh, and Javenesh took them under his wing. Javenesh also let slip that the staff are trying to "peacekeep" the Mage Tower rules after incidents last year, which has students up in arms. Xi and Melwythorne then had a chat, Melwythorne commending Xi about being kind enough to try and bond with the Silkball team. The two talked about their breaks, and how Melwythorne wished he was a better student like Xi, who is always so dilligent with studying. The conversation was cut short by Melwythorne needing to visit the bathroom, but he did mention that he was still feeling on edge after Mage Hunters invaded campus last year.

Lardriira'xyra went to get a drink with Manneo, and the two talked about creating exquisite food dishes. Manneo wished he could bring his dishes to the ball, but without being a third-year or having a proxy, there's not much else he can do.

Amadeus got absolutely waisted and fell deep into the uncanny valley in appearance, but eventually, was approached by Astrid. Astrid wanted to use Amadeus's magic as insurance to prevent herself from being pranked, asking them to cast an illusion to get back at Javenesh. Amadeus instead had most of their face melt off (in a harmless changeling fashion), and they fled, screeching. Dean Tullus went after them. Many students nearby muttered around it being "the ailment," but they didn't seem to care much.

Manneo and Tilana were forced to escort a sick Melwythorne out of the tavern, as they claimed to have had one too many eel rolls. Astrid and Amadeus later had a falling out over their differences, Grimmwood moving to comfort the former while Jalivia moved to comfort the latter. Jalivia discreetly scoped out Amadeus to make sure they didn't taint the snacks, but found nothing. Ambiance and Lardriira'xyra went to check on Melwythorne, discovering that the scan just came back with indigestion and a headache that was chalked up to being drunk and having eaten too much food. Tilana later let slip that Melwythorne missed Silkball Practice that day for a meeting with a teacher, but she didn't know which teacher, or why.

=== '''THE SECRET LIFE OF FAMILIARS''' ===
'''Guest DM:''' Keller (Player of [[Jalivia de Vaironne]])

'''Main Party:''' Lardriira'xyra and Arda, Ambiance Faira and ying, Dela Pierre and Cocoa, Vaerith Stormaeris, Astrid and Ophelia
The famous witch and Deroulex alumnistt Gertruda Grimmsly and her tortoise familiar Sheldon were visiting the campus to give a guest lecture on all things familiars. As [[Isonhound|Isonhound's]] foremost familiar expert, Gertruda came to share her knowledge and to help the Deroulex students through some simple trust exercises with their familiars. For students that did not have familiars, she had also brough her collection of Faux-milliars, magical dolls and plushies that could temporarily be animated with familiar magic. As the lecture started, the students got to speak with the freshman wizard Lenny McGibbons and his strange feline familiar, Queen Guinivere.

As the lecture began, Gertruda began to show off some of the familiar related magic items she possessed, including the famed Orb of Onnicus, an ancient relic that would allow familiars to cast powerful arcane spells. But the lecture was interrupted when a strange monkey broke into the lecture hall and began to cause chaos. As the students dealt with the monkey and attempted to protect the orb, Queen Guinivere snuck onto the lecture stage and grabbed the Orb of Onnicus. There was a flash of magic and all of the students found themselves body swapped with their familiars!

Knowing that they only had 24 hours to reverse the spell before it became permanent, Gertruda sent the students to search for clues about Queen Guinevere's location at the secret familiar sanctuary, the Pact and Paw, a garden magically concealed in the Archway Commons accessible to only familiars. Arriving at the garden through a secret tunnel, the students marveled at the gorgeous hidden world, including many attractions like cat trees, fire hydrants, bird feeders, a stage, mud pits, gambling, and even a bar. The bar was managed by a [[Unicorn]] named Adonis who had been accidentally summoned to Deroulex years ago after a Wild Magic surge. He used his [[fey]] magic to create the Pact and Paw to serve as a place where familiars could go to relax when not with their partners.

In searching for information, the party met with Don Bubbles Tortellini, the goldfish head of the Deroulex Mafia. After some terse words and a quick scuffle, the Don offered information about Queen Guinivere in return for some Tavern Tokens, the currency of the Pact and Paw. For these tokens he would also forgive the debt owed to him by Astrid's familiar, Ophelia. Though exploring the Pact and Paw, the students turned familiars were able to gather the tokens they needed by participating in many small games and events including: The Bounty Board, a game where familiars would compete in stealing small trinkets from students, the Raceway, a game where familiars could challenge the super fast rabbit Hopps to a race, the Wrassle Pits where familiars could challenge the skunk Fransua to a wrassle match, the casino where the familiars could gamble away their hard earned coins, Familiar Counseling where the familiars would meet in group therapy with the prestigious Dr. Penguin, and by playing music on the stage for coins. In playing these games, the student familiars managed to steal many trinkets from the room of Jalivia de Vaironne, Arda was able to beat Hopps the rabbit in a foot race, Ophelia out wrassled Fransua even though he skunk sprayed her, Vae in the body of a Faux-Familiar and Cocoa gambled their money away before joining group therapy, and Ying played with their heavy metal band, SussurFreaks.

After gathering all the tokens they needed, the party returned to Don Bubbles Tortellini who directed them to the Doghouse, a small jail for familiars. Inside they met a weasel pretending to be a polymorphed boy, and the monkey who had caused the commotion at the lecture! The monkey was named Jack and was in cahoots with Queen Guinevere. He shared that long ago, Queen Guinevere accidentally killed her first partner, but got a taste for it in the process. She then began a campaign of tricking powerful mages into being her partner before later killing them in order to steal their knowledge. Her current mark was the young apprentice mage Lenny McGibbons who she used to sneak into Deroulex. Her plan was to use the orb to turn mortals into her familiars! She was currently at the Biblioplex searching for a spell that would allow her to cast her magic across the entire college campus.

The party rushed to the Biblioplex where they found Lenny, Queen Guinevere, and three charmed freshman. The party managed to pacify the freshman and knock out Lenny before successfully separating Queen Guinevere from the orb. Now with the orb unguarded, Arda used it to reverse the body swap spell and restore everyone's proper forms, saving the day.

Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane

{{Infobox location|title = {{PAGENAME}}|type = [[List of Educational Institutions|Magic Academy]]|location = Located in a public demiplane 15 minutes south of [[Seglock]].|image=derouleximage.jpg}}Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane is the premiere [[List of Educational Institutions|magic academy]] of [[Isonhound]], with a special emphasis on applying the theories and practices of magic to everyday life as opposed to a standard magical school that might instead teach students how to wield magic. Despite its advertisement as a magic school, people with no magical ability will thrive just as much at Deroulex as they would any other student.

== History ==
In 730 [[BR]], there was a man. An imaginative man, and a scorned man. A man named Captain Deroulex Dapplewing. Recently having dropped out of schooling, he wanted to create a place where magic was made more approachable for anyone, attempting to do away with the modus operandi of the traditional magic academy, and instead of teaching magic itself, he wanted to show how magic at all levels could be woven into academic study, and therefore, daily life. He travelled the world, searching for assistance in his dream, and eventually made friends with the five [[Dragon|Swirled Dragons]] who helped found the school.

The first dragon he found was Velomachus Lorehold, a red-and-white swirled dragon, whose thunderous breath could put people in their place - literally. She had mastered the magical styles of order and chaos, and who wanted to encourage growth and exploration while keeping a direct conduit to the past. She offered up her power to Captain Dapplewing to be that conduit, founding ''Lorehold College of History''.

In order to further round out the colleges, Captain Dapplewing sought to unify science and art within the university's walls, leading him to lead a relationship with Galazeth Prismari, a blue-and-red swirled dragon and prominent public figure in the artistic world. A firm believer that magic should not be relegated to the realm of practicality, it was initially hard to get Galazeth on board with Captain Dapplewing's plan, but time spent together creating, perfecting, and inspiring others led them to realize that their mission was more alike than they thought, and with that, ''Prismari College of Art'' was formed.

To round out the school (and his theming), Captain Dapplewing attempted to seek out another dragon, which was not easy, as many dragons had not mastered magic's core in a way that he desired for his school. However, years of learning, study, research, and adventure eventually led him to discover Tanazir Quandrix, a green-and-blue swirled dragon with a mastery over physical reality and theoretical abstraction. Though Captain Dapplewing thought that recruiting someone so theoretically based to a school of magic, but she was the most eager to join of all the dragons. Firmly believing that knowledge should be learned for the same of learning, she eagerly supported his plan to intertwine knowledge with every day of life, forming the ''Quandrix College of the Natural World''.

With that, Deroulex was ready to open, and some fellow friends and colleagues from his old school joined him in forming the First Guard of Deroulex, dividing themselves amongst the three colleges equally. Heading the Lorehold College of History was Xanneiros Kollema, a no-nonsense professor who specialized in Order, but was apt at teaching Chaos as well. Prismari College was led by Qirora Conjurot and Quetrana Grandloft, two people locked in a constant struggle to out-ostentatious the other, leading them to lead the college handily. And finally, covering the wide breadth of magical science to be experienced, were Grahorn Torus, Sylvoril Widdershins, and Halynoa Wiltroot, who covered the wide breadth of subject material, allowing Deroulex's Select Conservatory of the Arcane to open its doors to its first year of students in 734 BR. However, as the years progressed, both internal and external forces at Deroulex began to realize the limitations of the subject material, which came to a head when Shadrix Silverquill invaded the school. His demands were simple. Separate Prismari College of Art into two, and form a new college that focused on the art that was not quite physical, the words that had power, presence, and leadership. Despite his takeover, Shadrix Silverquill was peaceful, and amicable, and together, he and Captain Dapplewing formed ''Silverquill College of the Oratory'' (Renaming Prismari to the ''Prismari College of Fine Art'' in the process). In order to staff the department, Quetrana Grandloft joined Shadrix Silverquill, happy to have a chance to spread her wings into the world of performing art.

Captain Dapplewing sought to keep up this improvement, setting his sights next on Quandrix College of the Natural World, which took up a grand majority of the school's programs. He sought to equal out the playing fields between the schools as much as possible, and set out for a dragon to divide Quandrix into divisions of nature and theory. On one of his adventures, he met a lonely and despondent green-and-black swirled dragon, who was so shy that they wouldn't even give him their name, hiding from the world due to their terrifying appearance and deathly powers. It took some time, but Captain Dapplewing was able to become close friends with the dragon, who introduced themself as Beledros Witherbloom. As thanks, they joined on the college staff, being flanked by Sylboril Widdershins and Halynoa Wiltroot as protection in order to form the ''Witherbloom College of Nature'' (renaming Quandrix to the ''Quandrix College of Theory'' in the process). And with that, in 749 BR, Deroulex was complete.
