Capitol city of Mígōng-

Deep inside the city a crowd gathered around the most central government building. Glass and splintered wood laid about, directly underneath a rather large hole in the structure. A trail of splinters and glass bits flanked by human footprints led casually towards a central pillar, that had been defaced with the calm writings of a professional,

"My name is Li, a humble man from a place far from this city. We all hold things dear, and in my possession is an item to help set us all free. You see, many believe the Sphere should open up to the world, become one with the community of friends this world has to offer. Perhaps this is a bad thing that I have done what I have done, but I'm a businessman. So in the pursuit of fairness, I'm going to send an offer to you, to purchase what I have in my possession.

There is a tree in Lynnfaire near the biggest Serene church, and a Large barrow in Matathran near the Utrye border. At each of these places, I want a large sum, one thousand pure gold coins left at each location in unmarked boxes. I'll leave both halves my this objects at those two locations upon payment. 

Do not mistake my charity for complacency. I will be watching carefully, and if I do not recieve this payment within three weeks, I'll reach out to Matathran, Lynnfaire, Vlaanburg, and others to purchase what I have.

-Li"

At the base of the pillar there was a symbol of the authenticity of this mans intent, A corner of a very detailed map of the Heavenly Sphere, a map that had locations of garrisons, wall details... The keys to bypassing the Heavenly Sphere's defenses.

"Father!! Hurry!!" A young boy cried, grasping a rope as hard as possible. All around him was sound and fury, water splashed into his boat, rocking it violently left, then right. He shouted again as loud as a waterlogged child could. His body began to shake from fear as there was no reply from his father. Above him, a large sail tore from its mast, pulled the rope from his hands. "Help!!" He shouted as if the storm were listening. 

Fear gaveway to acceptance as he fell to his back, staring to the heavens. It was a beautiful sight, purple and white hues flanked by dark greys and in some areas dark black clouds against a barely visible blue sky. In the distance, further west, all he could see was near pitch black clouds and water. He was barely on the cusp of this massive storm, and it was moving fast. 

His only regret was never getting to say good bye to his mother, who herself stood on the shores, staring into the heart of the storm.

Deep in the northern most forests a young human female sat on the porch of her humble abode. It was a simple day like most others up until the singing caught her ears. It was a strange sound that seemed to guide her body into the trees.

"Can.. I help myself?" She said, unable to control her own body. As she traversed the trees, a strange stave caught her eyes, sticking out from an old rock. "What is this?" She said, regaining control of her body. Her curiocty piqued as whispers caught her attention. It called to her, "Do not fear." It whispered, in a strange deep voice. The Imposing weapon, at least three meters in length, shined with a solid gold frame with dark red symbols. As she grasped it, the rock cracked in half, easily allowing her to remove it. 

It was strange, everywhere she stepped, the grass turned bright green, as if it were now bristling with life. Her first thought, blessing her crops that after a few moments near the weapon, had flourished into a glorious bounty. Her next thought, travelling to the nearest military post to turn it in. "It's the right thing to do." She said, mimicing what she kept hearing in her head..

"The right thing to do."
