True to his word, the Ferryman took a detour back to the Umbral Woods and dropped off the human statues which Ashevelen got from Mytru. With a smile and big thank you, she bid farewell to the Ferryman as he continued his endless task, while Ashevelen turned to a different task. The Umbra quickly gathered around their Goddess, offering her apples and whatever else they found, in exchange for some menial help from her. “[color=gold] I see I have taught you well, my creations and while I have to refuse your price for the offerings, I will grant you a gift. As important as my help would’ve been, I assure you. But, before that…[/color]”, she stopped mid sentence and motioned for the Umbra to look upon the human statues, which they quickly did, studying them and trying to understand [i] what [/i] they are exactly and after a few moments, Ashevelen continued. “[color=gold] They are called humans. Another mortal race created by a different divine. They are not to replace you but they are to act as your companions, friends, builders and whatnot. In their current form they’re unsuited to do much here and later on, they’ll even be more unsuited to be. So, please, stand aside and see your creator work. [/color]” The gathered Umbra quickly scrambled, some hiding in the shadows of the trees, while others at what they considered to be a safe distance. Ashevelen moved her hands rhythmically and with a few words, the human statues were enveloped in shadows. The shadows moved and swayed, moulding the statues, giving them a slightly altered form. Feet became hooves, legs bent similar to a goat’s and their skin turned back and then, and only then, their statue forms broke and the shadows disappeared. The humans fell on the ground, a look of confusion in their eyes. “[color=gold] I am not your creator but I have given you life. You shall be called Satyrs and you shall be the guardians of this forest. Two tasks I give you and in exchange, I shall offer you divine protection. Guard this forest against those that mean it harm and reproduce, make more of yourselves. My Umbra will show you around and choose a spot where you can build a village. [/color]” said Ashevelen, her voice friendly but firm. As a few of the Umbra guided the confused Satyrs to a different place in the forest, Ashe turned her attention to the other Umbras who were still waiting for their gift. “[color=gold] I have not forgotten about you, don’t worry. I grant you the book of trade. [/color]” said Ashe while putting her hand inside her robes and pulling out a massive book. “[color=gold] This, my creations, is one of my most prized artefacts. No matter where you are, as long as you’ve put any type of currency inside it, it will show you the local prices for any goods you might inquire about. It will allow you to get the best trades at the best prices and if pointed towards a person, will give you the best advice on how to approch him. [/color]” The book was blank currently but with time, it would start filling itself up with prices, goods and services. [hider=Summary] Ashevelen returns to the Umbral Woods. Awakens the human statues and renames them Satyrs, giving them two important tasks. Guard the forest and make more of themselves. She also gifts the Trade Book to the Umbra, their first artefact. [/hider] [hider=MP/AP expenses] [b]Starting MP:[/b] 0 [b]Starting AP:[/b] 2 -2 AP for the creation of the Trade Book. A book which after fed any currency used in the local area and a material, food, service is mentioned it will automatically tell the user the best price for what they require.
