A Request for Aid from the Undercity

[presented by Jacob, in relation to adventures in the Medina al Taht, the "Undercity" that lies beneath Cothon-Gadeed


One day, as the winter months draw long and cold, a messenger arrives for Najm. They are dressed in what look to be fairly standard attire, if a bit dirtier than one might expect, even for a messenger. Though one would notice that somewhat prominently on a lapel is a silvery pin in the shape of the crescent fortress moon. He greets Najm formally, though in a way that shows he wasn’t especially practiced at the motions, introducing himself as Haafil. After that he explains that he has come to Najm on behalf of Farhat'amirat al Fasad wahakimat almadinat taht (this said with the practice and formality of someone who has to regularly use a liege’s full title), who requests Najm's presence at his earliest convenience. She [Farhat] wishes to contract Najm and whatever band of barbarians he can collect, to help deal with an increasing threat to her domain. He refuses to elaborate, claiming no knowledge beyond the request itself.


Najm certainly wishes to take up this request, to venture again into Medina al Taht. There are things down there that bear more investigating! Who will join Najm in this endeavor? When shall we set out? Those who are interested may come to the Saint Iskameen's moorings in the harbor, and from there the discussion will probably continue in Fahra's Hole-in-the-Wall

  1. Bart and Gan are always up for some mind-bending, soul-twisting, lucrative adventure! In fact, the coffers are running lean, and a distraction from ancient thaumaturgical research, and harmonious jam sessions is needed to clear their heads! These good fellows are prepared any time.
