[h3]---The Capital of New Capita---[/h3]

Keerin had been doing nothing but assist the refugees ever since they came. The tales of armies with shadow for their cloaks and darkness as their weapons were widely-known amongst the shellshocked survivors. The so-called 'Abyss' had appeared from the south and has been expanding ever since, consuming the two kingdoms south of New Capita into its void.

None of this concerned Keerin much. Her loved ones were far away from all this. However, if this 'Abyss' continued its expansion then she might want to do something about it. It was then a royal decree was announced.

[quote]"His Royal Highness has decreed a state of emergency. The unknown threat in the south has destroyed both the kingdom of Rjaskav and Solvnir. All of the information we have is from key nobles that have relocated here to seek refuge, so its reliability is questionable. These are trying times and as such, recent events may have skewed their perception. All we know for certain is that a strange conquering army invaded the island and conquered it. Because of this, the king is offering a bounty of two hundred and fifty thousand gold to any group that can provide solid evidence of this strange army. This reconaisance will be vitally important in the days to come, so any and all adventurers are invited to participate in the scouting party. In the meantime, the king has asked that our citizens provide shelter and aid to the refugees 
fleeing their home as we could only hope they would for us."[/quote]

The bounty was high and Keerin didn't doubt that an army of adventurers would set out, ready to claim that bounty. She, however, doubted that all of them would return alive or, if they were lucky, return as shellshocked people no different from the refugees.

Still, if the stories of the 'Abyss' were true and it will expand forever, Keerin believed she would need to get to the bottom of this before it was too late. Or at the very least, properly warn her beloved. Of course, that assumed that she would survive the adventure. She thought that maybe she should have a contingency plan of sorts.

The Cleric saw a group already forming and talking about heading out. She decided that this group was as good as any and with her Mend staff in hand, she approached the group. "[color=00aeef]You are a group heading out, yes? Do you have need for a Cleric in your group?[/color]" Keerin asked calmly. Her eyes began checking all those present but she put little effort in it. She might be turned down after all making all that a waste.
