Guild meeting

The party assembled late after the guild meeting to meet with Azhaar el-Abbas, a powerful mage with influence over change. He explained there is a large sinkhole in the Gatar Depression, which is both there and not there. It is caused by multiple worlds are overlapping, most of there are alternative Alusias but here are some others. He offers various rewards but the party choose a potion of change, it allows an individual to activate a change in themselves but requires a focus and personal ritual.

He would like us to investigate and try and end the collision. They believe there are elemental nodes there that are anchoring the alternative words and removing these should disentangle the world. He also advises for us to speak to an astrologer philosopher, called Lozahl that lives in Seagate.

The party head to the visit the astrologer, accompanied by a cat that Belladonna met at the guild. His house seems very magical, it is larger on the inside. Lozahl provides us all a tokens and explains his theory that the sinkhole seems to be more than 17 alternate planes, many of which are alternate Alusias, and that its likely that the sinkhole anomaly originated within at least one of them. He mentioned that its likely that places of power are the tethering points / anchors that are causing the overlap and that by removing them or desiccating the powerful places that the anomaly may vanish. He mentions that they should be distinguishable from the normal environment. From what we can tell there shouldn't be major differences in magic between the areas but we should still be careful. He offers us a reward if we can provide research notes on what we discover to him once we return.

The party spend three days preparing, Aaron casting his powerful rituals and the party assembling equipment.

Journey to Desert

Sinkhole

It’s a nice clear morning on Frysday as the party head out. The young people are insistent at getting there quickly, and were moved under the power of Belladonnas firerunning, so we done get to experience the beautiful nature we pass in the trip. The days travel takes us through Brastor, where we stop in The Burning Heretic for a quick lunch, and then make our way through the Sea of Grass and arrive at Resmaldi that evening. We learn from the locals that the weather in the Gatar Depression has become unpredictable with people reporting sandstorms appearing out of nowhere, sudden heat and voices in the air.
Remel cooks a filling breakfast and almost all the party enjoy eat bacon, eggs and bread. Mirage sticks with some salad. We head into the desert with firerunning saving us an exhausting journey through the sands. After some hours we feel a strange prickling sensation and they then an unpleasant squeezing and stretching sensation, at which time we stop. We find we are about a miles from the large sinkhole and there are strange spatial effects in place and carefully walk the last mile.

We look down into the vast canyon and are met with a very strange sight, although covered in moving sandstorms, we see;

• A large piece of desert floating above the sinkhole, which is the source of sand for the storms.
• An enormous, stepped waterfall that emerges from the wall of the canyon and eventually feeds into a lake at the base of the canyon
• A volcanic crater at the base of the crater
• A grand cathedral at the base of the crater

We camp that night at the top of the canyon and Mirage hears a strange slurping sound from within the canyon but we cannot see the source.
The next morning the party fill their stomachs on eggs and cheese before spending a few hours climbing into the canyon to reach the source of the waterfall. We decide to explore the source of the water, climbing past the thundering water into the cave. Remel tries but the water is too strong for him, he leaves it to the young people and Mirage is able the make it into the cave and secure a rope to allow the party to all make into the cave, past the water.
