Akroma's internet is broken, she'll be missing some days of BotG. But that is no reason to let it die!
Dencath was non too happy to be joining this gorgon person/thing on its return to its homeland. It *seemed* peaceful and civilized enough, but he couldnt help but feel... suspicious... even afraid around it. It just looked too strange, and was always composed no matter what supposedly new sights it beheld in the glorious city of Neovicis.
None the less, his supperiors had commanded him to be a diplomat, and he had no way to skirt that order. Thus, he patiently awaited the day he'd have to leave with a small group of rowers and diplomats. Though, he didnt just idly twiddle his thumbs. He also worked on his own personal project... As he was loath to go to this unknown city full of monsters and snakewomen without a capable golem escort, yet he was unable to get the too-heavy iron golems unto the boat, he worked on a new kind of automaton, one suited for exactly this task...
Neovicis, as great a city as it may be, was already getting waaay too overcrowded. The Artificers, living a luxurious and full life, did not care a bit. But the people living in the surrounding slums could not take it any longer. Thus began the exodus of a large group of people, mostly poor peasants and footsoldiers, accompanied by a few artificers unwillingly chosen to oversee the move to a new land. They decide to head south, seeing mountains in the north and west, and having seen sea to the east.
