Ixen Gix is the name of the Andrillian Adventuring Company founded under the order of High Lord Unther after the disappearance of the Black Wolf Company on their mission to retrieve the Concordant of Peace between The Commonwealth and The Land of Venon prior to the yearly Celebration of Peace ceremonies (and 30 days of arena games recounting the history of the Commonwealth). They succeeded and became Heroes of the Commonwealth, gaining the cheers of the crowd until a gigantic gate opened up and Unther's Ancient Blue Dragon Morueme's severed head came through followed by Unther himself and then Tiamat (the real Tiamat, not a puny avatar or aspect), as the citizens of Andril fled in terror the Lords of Andril combined the Rod of Seven Parts to bind Tiamat's power. Bahamut (who incidentally visits the yearly celebration to take in the festivities in human form along with his guard) then left drinking fine brandy with a certain dwarf and jumped in after Tiamat transforming into his true form as he grappled with her and the two took off into the skies above the arena into a giant vortex. News that Tiamat had returned spread, as her retributive form, the five headed dragon one, had been sent from the world thousands of eons ago at the end of what is called The Gods War, had returned. It was her forces against those of her son's Anulil during that time over a family matter, and this was when the world was forged. The group then had a few things happen in Andril and cleared out the caves north of Castellan's Keep before the cleric had his vision that sent the party to where they are now - knee deep in the War of Elmir Vale against the Red Hand.

Minmae 1st, 477 of the Common Era A group of five adventurers from across the Realms gathered at the throne-room of Coronal Unther Drokoth in the city of Andril, Capital of the Commonwealth. Told of the disappearance of The Company of the Wolf they join together to find why they dissipated on their journey to a secret meeting with the forces of the great enemy Venon near a keep in the lands of Rhigolia better known as The Borderlands to reaffirm the Armistice Accord and keep the peace between the Demonic forces of Yrdahn and The Andrillian Commonwealth. They have only until the Armistice Celebration, thirty days away to avoid the resumption of a war started fifty years earlier. After founding The Ixen Gix Adventuring Company (literally meaning Fire Claw in draconic though can likewise be translated as Red Hand in common) they attend the opening of the Games of Decadence in the Blood Tree Colosseum as honored visitors and guests. They witness hours of gladiatorial games ending in a epic battle between an Ogre and the wronged daughter of a family it killed. Showing great courage this tiny heroine defeats the monster and joins the group with the blessings of a mysterious shadowy elf. Together the six members of the Fire Hand depart to retrieve the Armistice Accord, following in the footsteps of The Company of the Wolf. As they left the last Commonwealth Outpost and encountered a small band of dilapidated Skull crusher Orcs the group began to find that working together may not be as easy as they first thought. Minmae 4th, 477 CE Arriving at the Keep of the Castellan the company agree to begin looking for clues that may lead them to some answers and to gather together at the local tavern. After visiting a few shops Minerva heads out hunting while the rest of the company gathers at the Yawning Portal tavern to refresh themselves. They gather some interesting rumors from those in the Tavern and rent rooms at the Traveller's Inn located next door and attached to the Tavern through the "Yawning Portal". While Manerva is gone it is discovered that the new barmaid, just arriving and appearing flustered, was brought to Castellan's Keep by the wandering priest named Loyallar. It is said he had found her wandering the lands by the caves to the northwest on his arrival, her memories all but gone, except for her name; Tia. After talking with the Barkeep, nicknamed Portal, he says that she is not right in the head but manages to not spill all the drinks so he has kept her on for the last few weeks to help her out. As the group receives their drinks from her they notice a familiar tattoo of a black wolf - that of the Black Wolf Adventuring Company. Try as they may she doesn't remember anything. In the meantime while hunting for game Minerva encounters the group of orcs that had waylaid them on their path to the keep and strikes a deal to free their tribe, the Skull Crushers from the tyrannical slavery imposed by another orc chief and his Red Claw Tribe, in return they will guide her and her companions to the location of the caves. Kira then notices an old Unity Sphere, left over 50 years ago when the keep was part of the Commonwealth, sits dormant in the corner under the stairs going to the balcony. After inspection and questioning the barkeep, apparently it has been cut off from the Archive and no longer has the standard glowing blue mists but appears dim grey in appearance. However it is what's responsible for the Tavern being slightly larger on the inside than it is on the outside, a fact that Portal proudly announces. It no longer does anything when touched. Shortly after this discovery Minerva returns and informs her companions of her encounter with the orcs. It is decided that they will go to investigate the caves in the morning while The Paladin and Warblade return through the power of their rings to Andril along with Tia to see if some form of magic can be used to shed light upon her lost memories and the whereabouts of the concordant. Slightly furious at hearing this Portal asks who will serve his drinks if she leaves, and to help him out they offer thier services for the night and spend the rest of the evening and early morning meeting and serving the varied people and visitors to the keep's main hub of activity. The following morning, with the Paladin and Warblade still yet to return, the remaining members of the company depart down the road towards where the orcs said they would wait to guide them into the caves. After creating a larger trail for the mounts they come to the caves; a large scar on the land with copses of trees here and there rising like a basin and dotted with openings here and there. The orcs point out the one that used to be their home and the party head off into the darkness beyond the cave opening. Before they delve more than four horse lengths into the well hewn complex they are besieged by orcs. Eventually an alarm is raised and they fight for thier lives against the spears, swords and axes of the orc tribe. Upon their return to Andril Alia brings the three to Alicia University where her and the greatest healers of the city work throughout the evening and early morning hours to help Tia recover her lost memories but to no avail. They discover her mind has been drained by some unknown process leaving her a shadow of her former self. Although they are able to repair the damages done to her mind and intellect she retains no memories of most of her life. None from even when she was a child let alone her days studying at the University to be a citizen or her studies to become a mage, her membership in the Arcane, let alone what happened the past few weeks since her disappearance. Taking a break for a quick rest Alia says she will bring her to see her father and perhaps he may have some answers. The two company members return to their homes for the rest of the night. Laurana and Eddie are summoned by Alia the following morning to meet with her and Lord Unther in his throne-room. Unfortunately even the powers of the Lords of Andril cannot return memories to the young Tia though she will be looked after and given the same opportunities as before to become a citizen and mage of the Arcane, she will need to once again learn her skills and prove herself. The Corellon however does describe what kind of creature he believes could do such a thing. "No divine or arcane power could do this but a native creature of the Ether known as a Thought Eater leaves the telltale marks and psionic signature of this attack. Though they are unable to exist for long in our world, Thought Eaters can present a dangerous foe to all intelligent things and those who are gifted with the talent." The meeting finished and the conversation done Lord Unther heads out of the throne-room as he gears up with sword, backpack, and armor provided by his attendees. As they exit the great double doors to the open court in front of the entrance Laurana and Eddie stop dead in their tracks as a gigantic ancient blue Dragon waits just outside the entry in the court. Following Lord Unther all this time the two stand in awe as he begins mounting the beast, whispering just loud enough for them to hear "Rise up Moruemme, today you will to battle and taste flesh and bone." as the dragon beats its wings with terrifying force and departs into the sky. Alia snaps them out of their stupor and within minutes she returns them to the Tavern through the great gate after synchronizing their rings with one of the orbs.

Regarding Minerva Alabaster - The Warrior In Red As the only child born to her loving Mother and Father; Elyn and Vyncent Alabaster, she has had to carry many a burden in their names, continuing the bloodline of her ancient Netherese heritage, the Knighthood of her Father, and the readily apparent desire from her mother to see her become a practitioner of the magics that had brought Netheril it's glory. Though, much less apparent are the other burdens she carries in silence... The spark of demonic blood in her veins, the spark that causes her to question the morality of the Lords that she serves... That causes her actions to sway between domineering and just, Evil and Good. These forces clash in her mind daily, with no side ever maintaining control of her psyche for longer than the other. In her mind, this is why she took to the side of steel over magic, fearful that given enough time and research she might unlock the secrets of that spark, damning herself in the name of power, so she took to the discipline required in the military, possibly to avoid having to dwell on the matter... possibly to avoid having to think much at all. Such was a time, before she had been selected by Lord Drokkoth to recover the Concordant, when all she had to worry about were the nobles of the court that expressed their desire for her flesh, when all she had to worry about was protecting Alyia Drokkoth, when she was just a soldier following the wishes of her Father... So much has changed since then... Except the battle that weighs so heavily on her conscience, a constant reminder of why she chose to ally herself with Unther, Alyia and the forces of Good in the Commonwealth, but she has yet to find solace... and upon her return from retrieving the Concordant, she turned her silent pleas to the divine, namely The Red Knight, who she strives to emulate in her actions, perhaps even to the point of dedicating herself to the Goddess over even the Lords of the Commonwealth. Only time will tell, if she survives long enough to become a champion of her faith, or simply a champion for humanity under the watchful gaze of Unther and the Commonwealth.

Dragon's Story "Where am I?"* The voice called out again. He had heard the voice before, but knew not of it's whereabouts. His head jolted back, his eyes opening wide. His golden eyes glistened in the pitch-blackness in the room that surrounded him. Slits of blackness would open up, revealing the inner pupil within his eyes. Signals fired off within his head, instincts kicked in and within moments, his eyes rotated around the room searching for an intruder. His nostrils flared bringin in as much air as possible, sensing and smelling for something that was outside of the norm. His eyes closed for only a moment, but it was long enough for whatever he sensed to move. In an exhale, the creature was up and airborne. His wings, while weak, lifted his body upward through the air extending outward once he had reached a few feet off the ground. His wings erect, he dove downward toward the ground. His prey had been found, his stomach called out for nurishment. His eyes closed quickly, his extra pupil having served it's purpose now served another. Reflecting the light from the outer, the inner pupil dialated to twice it's normal size. Everything around the creature become illuminated. What was once blackness became visible as if someone turned on the lights. He landed on the ground with a loud thump, one that was apparently a bit TOO loud; as he heard footsteps, those of two semi light stepped humans, coming toward his direction. His prey in his hand, his eyes shifted downward for a moment to see that he had caught when a large boom came from the doorway. His head jolted upward toward the sound. His eyes became fixated upon the two figures in the door. The first stepped forward, her redhair hanging down past her shoulders. Her eyes fixated directly on the creature that was before her, the light from her torch reflecting off the creature's yelled hued, semi-metallic scales. She stood about 5 feet, 7 inches tall....although, he couldn't tell--humans always looked a little weird as they stood up on only two legs. "The hell are you doing in here you stupid dragon!? Don't you know how late it is?" She reared toward the creature. He knew not of what this "late" meant, was she pregnant? He didn't know, he could barely tell time. He knew of time, don't take him as stupid, but knowing what time is late and what time is not, didn't matter much. The second figure stepped forward, his voice a bit more kind than hers. He was taller, but his blonde hair was shorter. His eyes were calmer than the woman who had just yelled at him. "Come on now bud, it's late...just ignore Minerva, okay? She's...cranky when she doesn't get her sleep. What were you doing in here anyway?" He asked. Smiling, at least as well as a dragon could, the creature held his hand upward. "I was hunting....see? I caught it." His toothy grin was about as wide as wide could be. He was proud of what he had captured in his lair near the vault. "Are you kidding me? You made all that noise to catch a damn pearl!?" The dragon did nothing but grin as he engulfed the pearl with a quick snap of his jaws, enclosing the object. He walked over back toward his pile of gold and various weapons and equipment he had either gathered or discovered on his own. The door leading to his lair was closed with a latch of the lock as the dragon settled down to go back to sleep. "Please, if you can hear this...I do not know where I am...please....help me...." (DM Note: OOC Bonus Level 1 Awarded) It has been weeks since the breath of the warm air could touch his face. Eyes closed as he walked forth, the pupils quickly went from their dialated forms into a more natural slit. He had changed since he last knew. No longer was he a newborn, he had become more of a natural predator. His claws had finally finished growing. The talons were sharp and curved downward, better for him to rip into the prey that he would soon have to find himself. His teeth had grown in size; albeit, losing a few since he had last been awake, leaving room for the bigger and adult teeth to show. Their curved nature allowed for ripping and tearing of flesh from prey and they were tough enough to even crush down on the harder substances he would often put into his gullet. Where his wings were once frail, able to keep him aloft long enough for him to lift his feet off the ground and feel the air beneath him, they were now strong. The dragon's supporting wing bones had fully formed. Able to keep the hide membrane between the wing's phalanges taut, the muscles had matured and strenghtened.With a flap of his wing, his body lifted up into the air. With knowledge pouring forth, he flattened out his body. His wings flapped downward, his head tilted upward with his tail straightened out. Up and up he flew, past the trees that once seemed so tall. Above the clouds, above the watchtowers, above even the tallest mountains he had seen and continued climbing he did. He could hear the people beneath him shout as he glided overhead. "Did you just see that?" "No, what was it dear?" "I think I just saw one....a Gold Dragon!" "Sweetie, don't be silly. You know very well that there has not been a Gold Dragon sighting in years. Even if you saw one, you couldn't possibly assume it was one outside in the open considering after what happened to Palarandusk." The dragon smirked at the remark. What did they mean no Gold Dragon sighting? He had seen himself all the time before....was he really that rare of a creature? Where were the rest like him? His heart grew heavy as the wind speed picked up. He could feel the pressure, the weight of what he had overheard weighing him down. But he couldn't stop. He had dreamed, even fantasized about being in the air. He felt at home, he felt as one. Nothing could bring him down from up here, he was completely safe from everything. "Please, oh please god. If you can hear this, I don't know where I am! PLease, help me!" He heard cry out from beneath him. His eyes fixated upon a man, probably close to the same age as Zhern or at least, what the creature thought was close to the same age as Zhern, considering how humans age strangely. His wings folded inward and down, rushing the breeze past his head and along his back. His right wing tucked in, he turned nearly forty-five degrees to his right and dove downward. As he got closer, he could see that the man was standing near hte edge of the a cliff, his eyes glassed over with a milky, chalky white hue. His wings extended outward, the wing rushing into them and slowing his descent suddenlyl. His feet outstretched, he landed upon the ground with a bit of a gallop. With each step closer, his body began to morph. His back became shorter, his front legs shrinking and growing strange appendages. His wings disappeared, as did his tail, soon forming into a white shirt with blue stained pants. From atop his head, golden brown locks of hair began to form as his horns shrank into his head and shortly disappeared thereafter. His eyes became smaller, the pupil transforming from a slit into a circular shape. Now a shade between hazel and yellow, his pupils settled forward. "Hi!" He spoke out, his voice a higher pitch than normal. "Uh....who--who's there?" He responded. "It's me. I'm....I'm.....I don't have a name....but you can trust me! What are you doing up here? Are you playing a game?" He said with a cheery attitude. "N-no! This isn't a game. Can't you see I'm blind? I don't know where I am, I need help! Now, hurry go on and grab your parents! Let them know that I need help!" "I, uh....don't have any parents. But I can get you down from here, trust me. Here, climb onto my back." His hand outstretched. "I--I don't know what kind of game this is, but this is just not making any sense." The man stuttered as he shuffled forward slowly. Hesitant in his steps, the man shuffled forward. This shuffling soon became a near run as he heard a deep, roaring sound coming from the opposite direction of where he was. "Svaust beviri clax sia lehhav youwe mojka de ve!?" "Who dares take my play thing away from me!?" "Oh lord, she's coming back. Quickly, let's get out of here!" The man shouted as he grabbed ahold of what he had assumed to be a human's hand. He could feel that his assumption was quickly wrong as his hands met those more of a scaly nature. His breathing stopped for a moment before he could muster up the strength to talk. "You--You're just like her! Oh god, this is where I die!" The man couldn't help himself, and decided that it would be better if he took his life instead of allowing a foul dragon to. He sprinted toward the direction of which he originally was, knowing htat he'd plummet to his doom. Seeing this, the creature quickly ran forward, hunching over with each step forward. His wings burst forth from his back as his powerful legs, now back in their true draconic form, pushed himself off the cliff and after the man. His wings folded completely into his body, his arms outstretched toward him. Reaching out, with every ounce of his might, the dragon was finally able to grab ahold of the man's legs. "Hang on, I got ya. Trust me, you're going to be fine!" He said as he positioned himself into the air and used a combination of strange rolls, arm movements and neck flails to position the man onto his back. "Now, just hold onto those horn-thingies on my head, and I'll get you down from here." He spoke again, his voice heavier than what he was, now that he was back into his dragon form. The man on his back didn't have much of a choice. He couldn't see the creature he rode, so he had no idea the coloration, let alone the actual intent and nature of the creature that had saved him. Let alone, he was currently in the air and without wings, he knew that wasn't a smart place for him to be. "Wux!!!!!!!!!" "You!!!!!!!!!" The deep bellow came out from above, followed shortly by a huge column of fire. Seeing what was happening, the dragon tucked his wings over. His trajectory was going to be lost due to this maneuver, but he was going to make sure that this man was safe. He felt the fire brush against the scales on his wings, but the heat didn't phase him at all. He was used to it and he was actually slightly happy because of it. Turning his head forward, the dragon's gaze met a red one's in front of him. "I am Thraxata, give me that you worthless scum!" The opposed spoke in draconic, directly directly toward the Gold Dragon before her. "Nuh-uh!" He spoke back, his tongue sticking out while his wings stabilized his aerial positioning. He flew back as the red dragon charged toward him. Ducking down to the right, he noticed that he was able to avoid the first attack, but was unsure how many more he could. His head looked backward, over his shoulder. He could see the man still holding on as tight as he could be he could also see that the red dragon was gaining on him. This aerial flight show went on for a few minutes, always with the Gold barely out maneuvering the Red. Tired and knowing that he was running out of time, the Gold turned around and pointed himself directly at the Red who was flying toward him. "Si mi cotui wux, tir ti wiap tikil trelkilt!" "I am warning you, do not fly any closer!" He spat out, trying to make himself look bigger than he was. Thraxata simply laughed at the little gold dragon. She knew she was stronger than the little one, in fact, was probably twice his size. She continued flying toward him. Instinct kicked in as the Gold Dragon inhaled as much air as he could and released his energy into a concentrated blast. The blast took form quickly once it was outside of his mouth. Flames began to protrude forth, swirling around a central location, as if the focal point of the breath was in the middle of the blast. The Red dragon saw what was coming toward him and began to laugh. His laughter, however, was quickly fading as he looked at the blast again. The blast appeared to grow bigger, as if something even stronger came forth and added onto it. Fearing his own life, moreso from whatever created the breath, Thraxata flew away, but not before swearing vengeance upon the little Gold Dragon runt. Surprised that it worked, the Gold looked up from behind him and noticed a dragon much bigger than he. In fact, he had heard of this dragon as if his spirit itself was tied to and had known of this dragon for ages before he was even created. "Stay calm young one. I shall take the blind one with me and return him to where he belongs. You are safe and shall be for quite sometime. Now hurry off, I believe your friends will be looking forward to your return. After all, I heard that they had a meeting with the lizardfolk." The creature spoke with a deep, wise tone carrying out in voice. The young Gold just shook his head. "Oh yeah! I guess I could go and head on back toward Brindol, they should be waiting for me there!" "Axun, tir filki zyak. svabol wux tira jahus vin gewj di chaq si tepoha ti ocuirtor persvek ierikci. svadrav wux oontanx stronger, search ekik ihk ve tenamalo." "Yes, do just so. What you did was an act of valor I have not seen in centuries. When you grow stronger, search out for me again." "But wait, who exactly are you? How will I know how to find you again?" He spoke as he shook his head and began to fly off back toward Brindol. "Si mi jaci svaust jilgic wer irthir batobot ui searched ini throden. Jaci svados thurkiitu confnic forth rinov zyak. si mi....Riikano-Alinaris." "I am he who holds the knowledge that is searched by many. He whose twilight comes forth ever so. I am....Riikano-alinaris." (DM Note: OOC Bonus Level 2 & 3 Awarded)

An Excerpt from the private journal of Minerva Alabaster - Fokkius 10, 477CE "This damnable war will be the death of me... I should have known that the incident in Andril would only serve to bolster the Cultists and their Army... Perhaps I missed something in those accursed caves? I'll consider that, and will give it a scouring when time allows." The text changes from Common, to Netherese at this point, following a similar pattern found within the journal. Common, Netherese, Draconic, Abyssal, Repeat. changing after each paragraph of text, the progression of her learning was also clear in the precision of the characters, each language now being written as confidently as the characters in common. "How'd I even manage to get myself into this mess? The Dragon-Priest... Bah, his whispers lead us here... But I suppose we can make a name for ourself in the region, should we survive. Speaking of dragons, why doesn't Bahamut have a similar army here battling against this Red Hand? Isn't that what he does? Combat Tiamat? Regardless... I'm sure Venon's lackeys have a hand in this uprising." "Sometimes I wonder if I'm cursed... Locked into the machinations of some divine being... Perhaps punished for my ambitions? Punished for the blood that courses through me... Cursed for not trying my hand at the magic of my people... Bah, who am I to question the machinations of the divine... I have the Red Knight to guide my blades, I'll make due." "Bah, Diplomacy... Could be worth a shot, I guess? I have doubts the chaotic nature of this Dragon-Cult will allow such a thing, without force of arms... Unfortunately, we don't have the same fervour as they do, backed by a god... Can we even stand against such a force...? I'm beginning to hate dragons..." The text cuts off at that point, the remainder of the page has been filled in with what appears to be a painstakingly etched symbol of a crimson knight's chess piece with stars in place of it's eyes. A second image fills the space beneath, each of them seem to have been drawn in blood, or some similarly coloured substance. What can only be rationally considered as a prayer or mantra follows the imagery, written in Celestial: "War is won by those with the best planning, strategy, and tactics, regardless of the apparent odds. Any fool can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with fortune's aid. Only a master strategist can ensure lasting victory. War is a series of battles. Losing a battle does no necessarily indicate the war is lost. Seek out your opponent's weaknesses and recognize your own, avoid an opponent's strengths and play to your own. Only by focusing one's own strengths on the opponent's vulnerabilities can triumph be ensured. In times of war prepare for peace; in times of peace prepare for war. Seek out your enemy's enemies as allies, and be prepared to compromise. Life is an endless series of skirmishes with occasional outbreaks of war. Be read -- and have a contingency plan." "May the Grandmaster of the Lanceboard, guide my blades and will to a long life, filled with triumph and glory." (DM Note: OOC Bonus Level 2 & 3 Awarded)
