On the Rim - Act 1 Chapter 1

Preface: On The Rim is the title for this story arc. The title itself is a reference to the old saying "The wheel never stops turning, etc..."

On the Rim

Characters

Raquim al Sadher
Salu of the Wastes
Paola Peakeli


Three men with suitably similar talents establish a fraternal bond in the face of mortal terror, an event rather uncommon in the lonely ocean of sun-baked sand known as the Wastes. Embarking together for lands unknown to them, seeking fame and fortune along the way, these three individuals will hold within them the potential for change...

Their fates are rapidly gaining on them.

They leave the eastern city of Kopesh, after completing an exploration of the nearby ruins of the Ancient city of Mahde. Commandeering a fishing boat from the riverside docks, loading their worldly possessions, the three take leave of their usual mistrust and decide to chance their own destinies on the whim of the world.

Among their cargo:

Roughly 300 Sand Silver coins. Each one worth roughly 8 Bronze coins or about one fourth of a Gilded coin.
One Camel. Several crates of goods, including each person's personal belongings.
Unbound magic items: Manawood rosary, Collena Tome, broken Blue Meteora edge. Two Lesser Fire Elemental cores. One Lesser Earth elemental core.

It does make it seem like we actually did something. Not saying that we didn't do anything, but we do sound alot cooler.

I finished the Species post, finally. Read the short update at the top, and then re-read it if you feel like. I added some minor details that I thought might spark some inspiration.
