Attolia

Dark Spirits were coming after the Attolians and led by a spirit that had been wronged by Salvdal. What was the proper solution to the situation? Should he punish Salvdal in an attempt to placate the spirit? Caelis doubted that it would really atone for much unless Salvdal willingly punished himself and held himself accountable. Caelis had to take decisive action. He called Salvdal and order him, a shaman, and the former Lady Shaphira (being sent to make sure that Salvdal does not try to flee from his responsibilities and/or further betray the Attolians) to set off and find the remains of the gazelle to properly bury it and give it the respect that it is due. They needed to buy time to stand up against something that was simply... malevolent. If the shaman lost its guide, then it would buy the Attolians time.

Caelis then left his tent to address the Attolians. "We have stayed our welcome from these lands, and as always like any good guest, we must make our leave. I and the shamans will stay behind to give our final regards to the local spirits. We will see you to the north!"

With that, the Attolians began to migrate once more to the north. However, they only had a day's lead. Caelis had to buy time at the very least as he joined the remaining shamans and joined them in a small communion with the local spirits. He asked them for one final favor. To stir and hide any trace of the Attolians so that they could not be followed. Thus, come night, the communion would end and they would head north as well. By day tomorrow, they will know if the spirits answered their prayers.

1. Salvdal, a shaman, and Lady Saphira are sent to find the remains of the gazelle and give it a proper burial with the respects that it deserves.

2. The majority of the Attolians begin to migrate north.

3. Caelis and the remaining shamans ask the local spirits to hide their presence and make it impossible for the Attolians to be followed.
