====== Session 22: The University ======

=== Evening, 4rd High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * Revana, Ekhart, Sanglant, Remy and Delrune all talked about what the party learned in [[wiki:places:infinite_library|the Infinite Library]].
    * They agreed they needed to travel to [[wiki:places:tol_enay|Tol'Enay]] to talk to [[wiki:npcs:cidmuir_mayze|Cidmuir]].
    * Delrune explained her justification for keeping it secret from Cid; she did not know what [[wiki:npcs:auranos|Auranos's]] plan for the child was, but thought it would be best kept secret.
  * They party all spent some time around the University.
    * Revana attended several lectures, learning more about the human history and politics.
    * Sanglant spent some time around the quad, having a good time with some students.'
    * Remy went to the Glassworks to learn how the University makes such high quality glassware.
  * Ekhart and Delrune spent the evening talking about the future of Voltana.
    * Delrune told Ekhart that the Duchess of Voltana, [[wiki:npcs:lyre_lefarge|Lyre Lefarge]], had been relying on her for advice on what to do politically lately, as a representative of the University.
    * Sometime the next day, [[wiki:country:fairwyn|Fairwyn]] and [[wiki:country:naverus|Naverus]] would declare war one each other and call for the banner support of every Lord in the Empire.
    * They learned that [[wiki:npcs:josephet|His Holiness Josephet]], the Duke of Ortelai, intends to support whichever country Voltana doesn't.
    * Even though Ortelai doesn't have a large standing army, they have large stocks of money and supply.
    * Ekhart suggested that they should support Naverus and the [[wiki:npcs:marion_baerd|Dowager Empress]], as her claim to regent was more legitimate, and her brother seems to just be going for a power grab.


=== Morning, 5th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The party awoke in the Study Floor in the Masters Hall.
  * They discussed the different options of travelling to [[wiki:country:cel_edor|Cel'Edor]].
    * They could walk; this would take the most time but would be the safest way to travel.
    * They could charter a ship; this would be more risky as the ships have been moored by the Duchess in anticipation of the war.
    * They could travel via the Faerealm; this would be the fastest, but most risky. Prolonged stay in the Faerealm may have unintended consequences.
  * As they talked, a servant brought Delrune the mail.
    * Delrune showed everyone a [[items:wanted_poster|Wanted Posted]] of them.
  * Knowing now that traveling by land may be more difficult that they had previously thought, Delrune reluctantly told the party about a ship captain she knew that was in [[wiki:places:mae_relian|Mae Relian]].
    * His name was Captain [[wiki:npcs:wysees_trialle|Wysees Trialle]].
    * Delrune told the party that Wysees was a Pirate, but preferred to be called a Treasure Hunter.
    * He had a ship, [[wiki:organizations:meraverus|the Meraverus]], docked in the Violet Harbour of Mae Relian.
    * She was pretty sure that Wysees would help them if he told them Ekhart was Delrune's son.
  * Delrune told the party a bit more about her past.
    * Delrune, the [[wiki:npcs:fredrick_vanden|Baron Vanden]], [[wiki:npcs:elai_dane|Elai Dane]], and Wysees used to be an adventuring party.
    * They fought together in the Quiet War, and all had great disdain for the church, especially Father Elai.
    * Delrune doesn't talk much with Wysees since he became a Pirate.

=== Afternoon, 5th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The party travelled to the Summoning Circle in the University that was hidden away in some long abandoned classroom.
    * Delrune explained that she had created a Summoning Circle inside her [[items:delrunes_tiny_travelling_laboratory|Tiny Travelling Laboratory]], so she could always have quick access to the University wherever she went.
  * Everyone entered the circle, and Delrune teleported them back to Mae Relian.
  * Delrune bid the party farewell and left to talk to the Duchess of Voltana.
  * The party, trying to be as subtle as possible, travelled to the Violet Harbour to find Wysees.
    * After a bit of searching, they found a ship that they identified as the Meraverus, and met Captain Wysees.
    * They told him he was Delrune's son, but he still wanted payment for taking the party to Cel'Edor.
    * They agreed to tell him about the Demon infecting a high up member of the church.
