Biography
|
The sun-parched lowlands of Elderen Glade stretch for countless miles along the sandy shoreline, bathing the rolling forest hills in swaths of warm honey-gold. Shallow stone hills overgrown with blankets of waxy crimson ivy peter off into combed dunes of powdery, beige-white sand. The road running alongside the beach is marked sparsely by old signs in an ancient tongue and wound through all the hills and trees above. At a fork in the road where one path continued north and the other turned west, the ruins of Yat-avel can be looked upon in the east.
By all accounts, the beachfront structure is quite unremarkable - unremarkable enough in its disrepair, at least, to have escaped the interest of scholars for many years. Several expeditions over the past half-decade have yielded naught but a paltry assortment of mismatched pottery for all the effort of the excavators - curious to the specialists and enthusiasts of the Lightweaver's devotees, no doubt, but otherwise more troublesome to sort than their worth. A research team assessed the artifacts under enchanted lenses, waved their claws, and dismissed them as the refuse of destroyed Beastclan offerings. Seirina was not impressed with their findings. The fastidious imperial dragon held one fourth of the stakes in what was then the most recent research venture into the ruins, and she was paying closer attention to the evidence than her contemporaries. She spent her nights on the trip curled up in a cliffside cavern, writing and drawing and theorizing with eerie enthusiasm despite the doubt or disinterest of most of the other scholars. Her outrageous ideas about the purpose of the temple were spurned by the survey's other stakeholders to such a degree that they did everything they could to block her from studying it. In defiance of her detractors, Seirina continued disseminating her observations and ideas all throughout the camp in hopes that someone might eventually see things the same way she did. In time, three dragons came to her. First was the Ridgeback Veneer, impetuous and vain, to bask in the drama of the contention between Seirina and her associates. Warrior followed closely behind her, a Spiral with unquenchable curiosity hindered only by a wandering mind, and for a long time it was only those three. After a few weeks, the third, the debaucherous Cabasi, joined the group, and for weeks after the four deliberated at the cliffside cave. In time, the group formed a plan to settle the debate of Seirina's theories once and for all. When the last of the lamps were extinguished at midnight, Seirina and her sympathizers gathered beneath the crumbling pillars and blast-scorched bronze doors of the oceanside shrine. While Veneer, Warrior and Cabasi breached the ruins, the grand Imperial stood watch outside, her gold and white body half-buried in the powdery sand. An hour passed before she received word from her allies, but it did not come from them - it was delivered, instead, on the waves of earthquakes. The three dragons emerged from the gate immediately afterward. As the lamps at the base camp on the hilltop flickered on one by one, they urged Seirina to flee with them back to the Sundial Terrace. They took to the skies with haste and disappeared beyond the glade long before the survey team realized they were gone. The four arrived home far ahead of the dragons sent to follow them. News of their discovery spread fast through certain circles: a complex of tunnels and caverns that sprawled for kilometers in all directions had been found beneath the sand. They humbled themselves with impassioned pleas for support to various research commissioners, drawing their ears with stories about a mysterious underground stronghold, a dead city with neither body nor bone to its halls and an armored gate ten Imperials tall. Things did not go over well with the more established organizations in the region. Representatives of the Antiquarian Society and Songblade Reliquary turned them away, each too embroiled in its own operations to afford diverting resources to an uncertainty. A dozen other middling groups turned them away for a dozen other reasons. Only after all other options seemed to be exhausted did the enigmatic Circle of the Vault call on them to meet. By the time Seirina's associates finally caught up to the group to accuse her of sabotage, she had already won. The curiosity of several dragons embroiled in the Circle had been piqued, and their influence opened the way for the group to file a formal claim of discovery of the underground ruin. Upon the quartet's return to the ruins and the commissioners' confirmation of their discovery, her former contemporaries were ousted from their positions by the cruel hand of ridicule and shunned by many of their former peers and colleagues. Seirina took pity on some and invited them to join her newly formed expedition team to mend their fractured reputations, but few accepted her offer. These new additions to her ragtag team became the beginning of the Goldenspire Company. Over the next couple of years, the survey unearthed a trove of artifacts and information from the uppermost caverns of the complex, and Seirina returned to the Lightweaver's dominion to present their findings and humble herself in service to her deity. She left her leader's mantle to the three dragons whose faith in her ramblings created bonds of friendship unbreakable by neither death nor exaltation. The Goldenspire Company has made leaps and bounds in their research. Under the de facto leadership of Cabasi, the company has invested extra time and resources into decrypting the dead language of the creatures that once roamed the complex in droves. The phonology of the language has been almost entirely reconstructed by the combined efforts of mind and magic, and, perhaps most importantly, the ancient city's name was found: Yat Avel, the Underkingdom.
