Chronicles of the World of DaoTyr

Chapter 06

“The Black Parade”

Following the revealing of the Prophecy of Sitkarima and the triumph over Yog Sirion, Khaldun and Booregni argue with Omnetri about the promise world of Ibernomot. Omnetri is stubborn unto death about his loyalty to the Anubian Empire. The officers of the Eagle offer the archaeologist a job aboard the Eagle to find the lost home world of the Giff, but Omnetri counters with an offer of allyship which seems to the officers as a thinly veiled threat of indentureship. Omnetri says that “The Black Parade, an Anubian Corvette, is 12 hours from Ulama and is coming for his research books. The captain of the Black Parade, Daomir, will stop at nothing to find them.” The officers execute the Anubian and teleport his body to back into the temple to make it appear that he met his doom via stone golem.

Back at Ulama, Kitmeriol pays the crew only 1,500 gold, when (confirmed by Mordekh) the cost of the Eagle’s repairs spiraled upwards. Kitmeriol says that in one month she will be wed to a prince of the new alignment named Aerolanth, son of Athara. Athara is a legendary and ancient lord. One of the Nonentak, the nine rulers of the Alignment who answer to Isperia, the Supreme Justice of the New Alignment. Athara is captain of the city-size Spelljammer called the Aerbanthor.

The Eagle

• The armillary sphere in the bridge observatory can cast a variation of visual sending spells. Most spelljamming craft are equipped with something like it. It may be turned on or off and be used visually, with audio, or both. Its range in generally about two thousand feet.
• The Ameni flower is blooming in the arboretum. Braejna is researching fungal fuel because of it. It has something to do with Camal’s dragonmark. It is impossible to know how it is radiating out, broadcasting itself across the theorized fungal dimension. Mardehk has picked a vague signal related to Zuggtmoy. (Mercane)
• Kirex, the Gith prisoner. And the living symbiote. No sending spells are possible from the Eagle’s brig. The Azure fist finds the Eagle because of it. Kirex is killed. Arriving before the Black Parade.

Khaldun insights that by cross referencing the Opal Gates with the Tombs of the Aetharadion, a clue as to the location of the tombs, and thus Ibernomot, may be gleaned.

The Azure Fist offers 1000 gold for the 50 regs of fuel—there are still 50 regs of fuel aboard the Eagle, but it is uncertain if they can track it now that Kirex, the Energy Guard, is dead. The captain of the Azure Fist, a Blue Spear faction ship, non-Tuaranathi Githyanki is named Zakshon and his number one is a Gith sorceress named Rivorna. When the skiff, manned by the officers goes to collect, the Black Parade arrives and fires on the Azure Fist. The skiff returns to the Eagle and the Eagle returns fire onto the Black Parade.
