While in King’s Court –
A thought presses against your mind, but you’re unable to fully make it out with all the distractions about you.
Sidhawk suggested I go to the steam at the Voln Monestery, so I did.
You walk into the stream and immerse yourself into the water.
[The Stream]
Water rushes swiftly over the smooth stones at the bottom of the water. Trout sway their fins back and forth as they maintain their positions under the shadow of a nearby tree. The water feels cold and refreshing and is loud enough to drown out nearby sounds. A turtle considers you from head to toe from the top of an especially large stone sticking out of the middle of the stream.
Obvious paths: out
You feel the thought press harder on your mind as your ears begin to ring drowning out all the sounds around you.
You get the feeling that if you opened your mind to the spiritual realm, the thought would rush over your mind like a river over rocks.
So I got out of the stream and meditated.
You kneel down and begin to meditate on your lot in life.
A curtain of light appears at the edge of your vision.
Small elven children play in an idyllic forest glade as one turns your way something isn’t right. Rows of sharp teeth fill a mischievous grin.
The image begins to falter until your mind is once again, at peace.
More to come, I’m thinking

Brieson says, “The Red Forest was not always…called as such.
Brieson says, “The elves, of the Settlment near your town, speak of such. (The landing)
Brieson says, “The Ilvari are fey creatures, and they once dwelled in a peaceful woodland realm.
Brieson says, “I do not have dates, and any measure of time by my mortal standards would likely fall very, very short of elven time…
Brieson says, “But the woods, full of peace and the fey, were overrun by fell creatures, dark, horrible….unending, they see.
Brieson says, “The forest was crippled by darkness and suffocated by death, and the Ilvari…those fey creatures of light…are but reflections of their environs.”
Brieson says, “Thus, they became twisted and evil as well.”
Brieson says, “The elves, of whom those in the elven village nearby belonged too, came upon the forest. They mistook the Ilvari for elven children, and adopted them.”
Brieson says, “Of course, a tragic mistake.”
Brieson says, “Many foul accidents befell the elves, especially their children. In time, the elves discovered the Ilvari were the cause of the misfortune, and learned their true nature.”
Brieson says, “The forest, before the elves had settled, was named the Red Forest, for the fell creatures that had slaughtered many, that blood soaked every inch of the woods.”
Brieson says, “Why that is no longer the case today, or even with the elves, the name remained.”
Brieson says, “Once the elves discovered the Ilvari’s true, twisted nature….”
Brieson says, “They cast them out and banished them and the Red Forest behind an enchanted curtain of light, which had been caused by a rare lunar alignment.”
Brieson says, “When both Liabo and Lornon could be seen aligned over the peaks of the Glatoph.”
Brieson says, “It has been countless years since this occured, the lunar alignment. So you can understand why I’m drawn here.”
Tonight is that alignment.
>gaze bowl
You gaze deeply into the water in your silver scrying bowl, opening your mind and unfocusing your eyes.
After a moment colors and shapes begin to coalesce into an indefinite vision of a violent thunderstorm.
As the vision fades you slowly become aware of your surroundings again.
You say, “I see nothing but storms tomorrow…”
