Chronicles of Fairyland ~ On The Attack
Chronicles of Heroes ~ The Golemancer

Yesterday, Fairy Lucretia and a group of followers raided the Rekenber Company Laboratory. The Company's spokesperson would not shed light on what the artifact was, and limited himself to inform they ran out the front entrance, overcoming all security measures.

Simultaneously, someone else had broken in to the Rekenber building, presumably the same scholar responsible for Thor's Volcano acting up. He used golems to steal massive amounts of Orichalcum and other ores. Upon exiting the building and after shouting praises to the god Erebos, he set off a bomb that blew up a section of the second floor, killing three people and leaving approximately five injured. The cloaked man escaped in a warp portal with the ores, leaving several golems behind to cause further destruction.

Lucretia's group ran north of Lighthalzen, with a squadron of over 20 knight guards giving chase. The pursuers lost them as they head into the Einbroch District. It is currently unknown if Lucretia and the cloaked scholar were working together.

Meanwhile...

Lucretia's group crossed the border that divided Schwartzvald and Rune-Midgard. They went south from Mjolnir, through the Orcish Fields and the treacherous desert, until they finally reached the Fortress St. Darmain in the Comodo Province. Everyone wondered why Lucretia led them there, and the truth was, not even she knew. She was simply asked by Cynbel to head there after the raid on the Lab.

As for the artifact stolen from Rekenber, it was a curious object known as a Dreamstone. When used correctly, it allowed people access to a person's dreams, and by extension, their memories. Long ago, the fae used these objects to help people deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Severe Nightmares, as well as extracting war secrets from prisoners. Lucretia's intentions were to invade Amdusias' memories and find out if he was really responsible for the destruction of her wings.

Once they met up with Cynbel, he showed them the way to a safe house. There, Pixie waited for her sister. After a somewhat emotional reunion, complete with sibling bickering, the queen of the fae explained her reasons for being there.

Apparently, her her recent ailings were due to a series of deliberate food poisoning. Upon confronting Amdusias and Cimeies, Pixie found she had no more support among her people. The two had been spreading false rumors and fear to the fae masses, who weren't very trusting of humans to begin with. After meeting and explaining the situation to her brother Pico and their friend Navi, the two promised to keep a low profile and inform her of any important news during her absence.

Once Pixie was secretly granted asylum in Rune-Midgard, she spoke to the head of the 3 main nations of the region, who agreed to help her regain her throne in a covert manner, so as not to be exposed to war. The nations' clearly didn't trust Amdusias' judgement after the incident where he marched into Amatsu to take two fugitives into custody without the proper authority to do so.

Now, with the two sisters Reunited and willing to put their turbulent past behind, they, along with Cynbel and the group of heroes, plotted on how to take back Fairyland from Amdusias and his deceitful, fear-mongering politics.

First, they must build a crown or some sort of headgear for the Dreamstone. Then, with the help of the three main nations of the region, they would set up a bait for Amdusias. Once subdued, the Dreamstone Crown would be placed on the power-crazed Fae, and the group would access his memories. Their hope is to find out if Amdusias destroyed Lucretia's wings and framed her lover, and why he did so.

Before everyone left, Cynbel warned of Amdusias' close friends and bodyguards: Cimeies, a master of stealth, and Andromallius, one of the most powerful spellcasters in Fairyland. They were certainly not to be trifled with.
