Opening
Drakonia > The new world awaits. ## 1st day of Thys, 81 CN --- An intense feeling of vertigo shocks your senses the moment you step through the shimmering portal. The very fabric of reality itself dissolves before reweaving itself mid-stride. The air on the other side hits you first; thick, humid, and alive with the sweet pungent scent of earthy vegetation. Before you, an emerald expanse unfurls underneath a crystal clear blue sky. Distant mountains claw towards the heavens while shrieks of unseen creatures echo from the primordial jungles in the valleys below. The honor guard of the fortified portal outpost stand at attention, offering salutes at your arrival through the gate. Before you awaits an elf woman. Her strawberry-blond hair is pulled into a severe knot, revealing long, pointed ears dotted with faint freckles across pale skin. Silver-rimmed glasses perch on her nose, magnifying her intense glacial-blue eyes that scan you with detached appraisal. She's thin, almost fragile-looking, yet her presence exudes authority. "Commander you," she states, her voice crisp and cool as winter frost, "Welcome to Drakonia. I am Magister Rosalind - Liminal Arcanist of the Drakmoor Empire. I am the Liminal Arcanist assigned to this expedition." She offers a curt economical bow, her eyes never leaving yours. "Base camp is half a league to the east. Thus far, the local fauna has avoided our perimeter. A small mercy." Her gaze flicks toward the treeline, sharpening. "I'll brief you en route. We've much to discuss."
