Resplendent Wood 20,
*the sun was just passing its zenith when a caravan approached the gates of Imperveress. A woman stepped off of a horse and approached the gate. She was strikingly beautiful with features so delicate it was almost inhuman and she looked as though a strong wind might blow right through her. Her dark hair shifted colors as she moved and when she looked up at the gate it would be seen that her right eye was red and her left eye was black, set gently against creamy skin. There was a background of stress in her features and she knocked her knuckles against the side of the archway in front of her. She was surprised that there weren't any gates or guardsmen for such a large empire, and the thought occurred to her that perhaps there were defenses that only triggered when necessary. She glanced back at the caravan and one of the other women smiled and gave her a nod of encouragement. The first woman turned back and stroked her horse's cheek and nose for comfort*
*a shaft of light shot through the archway, coalescing into the form of Emperor Ress, clothed in his usual imperial white silk robes accented by the orichalcum bracers he wore and ornate orichalcum crown. He nodded his head to the crowd, smirking slightly when he saw the woman's shifting hair color*
" I am Emperor Ress, and this is my Empire, Imperveress. Who are you and why have you come here?"
*she smiled nervously at Emperor Ress and gave a little bow*
My name is Varsika and these are my friends. We were looking for a safe place to live and work and we heard about your mighty nation.. I will not lie, we mean to stay and settle down, not just pass through. We ask for your permission to do so
" You seek a new residence? Very well, welcome to Imperveress.. your new home... but be warned, I can see that you are not entirely human... and I would expect your comrades to be not fully mortal as well. I will not pass judgment on you based on your lineage... but we do not tolerate any sort of sabotage or treason.
With that said, To the north is Ramoth, the city among the trees. To the north west is Bezair, a waterside city. To the South is Aranea, a highly religious city of miners. And to the south east, Kideshen, The scholarly city.
You will find a home in any of those cities. And if you should need me, feel free to seek me out... I am simple enough to get a hold of."
* Ress' form soon dimmed down into nothing, the essence once more flowing back into the manse that acted as an entrance to the city, the essence weapons falling inert and allowing the caravan in*
*as the image faded out Varsika smiled and got back on her horse, guiding the others in. As they started out the group decided that for all of their different talents that this Kideshen seemed like the place to go. It wasn't long before the group was on their way to their new home, a renewed spirit about the caravan*
