Side-Turn 0.2: Opportunities
EversorOnce the Bartoros had been escorted outside of the throne room, you were left with the King and several of your fellow high servants of Zethe. With his golden gaze resting on you, Radeus announced with a commanding tone.
"Lord Eversor. Your achievements and loyalty honour us all, and thanks to your efforts the Latze Plains have been peacefully brought under Zethe's light. My word is as follow: pursue the expansion of our borders so that the light of Zethe may shine farther, pushing back the virtuous malediction."He concluded his sentence with a gripping motion as a sign of determination, and added.
"Yours and Azarian efforts have allowed us to confirm one of the powers of the Tear. The greater the influence of Zethe, the stronger the Tear's aura become, as if exhorting us to conquer more land. Lastly, while your efforts cannot be immediately rewarded, know that your deeds will not be forgotten."Radeus relaxed his gripped hand, and Endovar moved forward as if receiving a hidden order. He spoke with a deep and calm tone, as always.
"Such is the will of our King of Zethe. Lord Eversor, our friend and companion, pursue the mission given to you by the King! However you need not bear the burden of such a task alone. Do not hesitate to ask for aid if need be, your fellow will be glad to assist in any way they can."[Opportunity: Esl and Arp]The Captain of the Tartarian Guard, Aspath, raised her hand. An ancient animated armor of the ruins of Tartarus, whose luster and gilded patterns held some noble aura, she was the strongest and noblest of the Tartarian Guards.
"Lord Endovar, may I? There is a matter I would like to discuss with Lord Eversor."Endovar respectfully bowed and took a step back. Aspath thanked the king's aide, and turned toward you.
"It concerns your subordinates and kins of mine, the Forgotten Guards, and especially the ones known as Esl and Arp. I am grateful of your care of them, and I know how highly they all hold you in their esteem. There is a peculiar matter pertaining to our origins I need solved, and for that I require the entirety of the Tartarians. I know not how long, but I swear they will be returned to you in due time."Leave your Forgotten Guard squad to Aspath, including the twin elites Esl and Arp?Azarian[Opportunity: A potential grain deal?]While you were gathering supplies for your next expedition, an insectoid farmer came to you. He asked if you would be willing to experiment a new type of grain instead of the usual grain used for supplies. The new grain, as he explained, was obtained from a ball-shaped cereal hose performance under different climates they did not know.
Ashuri-Zagos
[Opportunity: The Singing Ogre]While patrolling the streets, you heard a voice that pulled at your artistic string. This tenor! This potential! Whoever had that voice had a great potential as a singer! It was coming from an Ogre warrior from a tribe that had just been brought under Zethe by Lord Azarian. He was along with his tribe mates working on a construction site, will you intervene or leave them to their own?
It that Oozes
[Opportunity: Encounter at the Breeding Pool]Indeed Slimes were able to split into two new Slimes outside of their reproduction period which you had long passed as a major node. The process was extremely energy taxing, and would render you unable to do much for a while. Before doing so, you went to the Breeding Pool of the swamp maybe to find some inspiration before splitting. You were yourself born from this pool of goo, and most slimes of the swamp were born from it.
A handful of slimes stumbled upon you, young ones with goo as fresh as the morning dew, and with a spark of potential most slimes didn't possess. Hmm... you could try splitting yourself, but maybe you could also try helping these slimes differentiate into desired slimes?
Aeon[Opportunity: A Djinn's Advice]
Before you left to explore the Mirage Valley, an old djinn shared a tale with you. "There is a pool of pale orange water at the northern edge of our lands, just outside of the valley, surrounded by dead white palm trees without leaves. Avoid this place if you intend to explore the northern part of the valley. It is a cursed place where an evil spirit of carnage was sealed by the Virtuous Races a long time ago."
