====== Session 26: The Traveler ======

=== Evening, 13th High Summer, 498 CE ===

  * The party reunites with [[wiki:npcs:cidmuir_mayze|Cidmuir]] and Sang's mentor, [[wiki:npcs:langston|Langston]].
  * Cid explained quickly gave a run down of what happened in [[wiki:places:tol_enay|Tol'Enay]].
    * Cid explains that he arrived a few weeks ago along with [[wiki:npcs:laef|Laef]].
    * Laef went to go and see if she could find the entrance to [[wiki:places:dwarfheim|Dwarfheim]].
    * Cid trained with Langston, learning more about Ki.
    * A dwarf known as [[wiki:npcs:the_traveler|the Traveler]] arrived in [[wiki:places:tol_delaar|Tol'Delaar]].
    * The Traveler had some a crystal called [[items:aetherite|aetherite]] that let him controls those around him.
    * The Traveler and the monks of Tol'Delaar invaded Tol'Enay.
    * Langston was tricked into touching the stone, and then helped subdue Cid who was also touched.
    * Anyone who was touched by the stone became permanently under the Traveler's control.
    * The Traveler only appeared to be able to directly control 2 people at a time, so Cid and Langston were simply waiting.
  * Ekhart, Revana, Sanglant, and Remy decided to go and stop the Traveler and free the people of Tol'Enay.
  * Sneaking to the top floor, the party got the jump on the Traveler.
    * After a dangerous encounter, they managed to kill the Traveler and subdue his Tol'Delaari guards.
  * The party secured the aetherite, freeing the hold it had on everyone.
  * Remy left to get [[wiki:npcs:boan|Boan]] back from [[wiki:npcs:conny|Conny's]] house.
  * Sanglant and Revana left to the brewery to free the captured Tol'Enayan monks.
  * Ekhart and Cid went to investigate the aetherite in closer detail.
    * Together, they discovered that the aetherite appeared to be hardened, physical magical energy.
    * Cid theorized that it may have been made from a mithril alloy.
  * While they were working, Ekhart told Cid the nature of his birth.
    * Cid, all things considered, took it very well.
    * Not liking that his desire to go to the Faerealm was some sort of per-ordained machination, Cid rejected his life's dream of going to the Faerelam.
    * Cid suggested that Ekhart use the aetherite to seal the Void, rather than himself.
    * Ekhart could cast the spell that Cid was working on, and Cid wouldn't unintentionally get close to the Faerealm.
  * When Revana and Sanglant returned, Sang and Langston left to work through Sang's blockage.
    * Sang explained that the Faerealm appeared to be blocked.
  * Langston told Sang the story of Tol'Enay's founder; Lenna.
    * Lenna was the daughter of a brewer, in a small nowhere village.
    * When Lenna was still young, her father was killed and her mother was taken captive, never to be seen again.
    * Lenna vowed to make sure what happened to her would never happen to anyone again.
    * She traveled the world, in hopes of becoming stronger.
    * Lenna found herself in a forest of elves, where she saved them from an evil spirit; thereby learning that she can make the world better by changing it.
    * Later, Lenna came upon a city made of gold, where she learned to lie in order to make the world better.
    * Langston's point being that there are always two options:
      * Change your world, or
      * Change yourself.
  * Sanglant, guided by Langston, again tried to enter the Faerealm.
    * This time, when Sang reached the wall, Langston told him: change your world or change yourself.
    * Sang opted to change himself, turning himself into water so that could fit through the stone.
    * Sang learned how to modify his spirit in the Faerealm!
  * For this achievement, Langston gave Sang the [[items:wraps_of_the_master|Wraps of the Master]].
