After the Storm (Season 1: Epilogues)

An Earned Respite...

  The Tenrook and Talonguard are most pleased with the triumphs and tribulations of the Knight Owls over these past six months.  The organization as whole has had more internal struggles than in the past, but through the actions of a few, traitors were exposed and eliminated and the Tenrook is confident in the organization's ability to not only recover, but become stronger than ever.

  The Tenrook, in honor of the powerful deeds done by their members, have offered the following decrees:
1) In celebration and recognition of outstanding conduct in the dawn of a new age, we allow each Knight 1 year of respite from their Owl duties.  Each Owl is free to pursue their own work, but keep their annual salary (100 platinum)..
2) Those imparted unto the Skypiercer shall be granted a boon; treasure, artifact, something else; please discuss with your sources what you would like.

IN-GAME
Player characters have 1-year in game time to do something.  They will message the GM with what they'd like to accomplish, and we will work together to create a narrative that could be shared (with permission) here as an Interlude segment.  They will also plead a case for their boon; like a present for a fantastic year of epic content.  (This is, and always will be, OPTIONAL.  It is NOT a requirement of play.)

Fate of the Esper Ship...

  Upon returning to Tidespear, Anai'Stra'sana does not dismount the Skypiercer with the rest of the party.  It appears, at least for now, that the creature has laid "claim" to the vessel.  Each dawn, it calls lightning into the vessel's conduits, and through an odd form of purring, appears to be reconfiguring its circuits.
  Loremaster Edwin Gola has attempted to address the creature, but has been met only with an inscription...burned into the stonework at his feet.  It took him weeks to decode it, but it reads: 
​  "You do not own me.  I faced the dragon without my sisters, and it pained me.  Let me find them; then we’ll talk of this…’transportation’."

For now, the Skypiercer belongs to no one.

The Seed of Oblivion

  The battle now won, the Seed returns to its Sheath, Nikz.  However, summoning it is...problematic.  Though Nikz tries, often it does not form.  His mark remains on his palm, but he wonders if the sword will be needed in the future, or if his time has passed for now.
  Eli and Alvus, however, take note of a mark upon each palm that held the sword.  It appears to be a simple tan ring, with two lines of different lengths bisecting at their ends.  It is more of a tattoo than anything else, and as time rolls on, a lighter hue of skin tone in the center of this "clock" appears, framing an upside-down hammer...like a pendulum.
