Session 2 - Another World

----
Traveling to Sylas's House
Recall the "Dream" from the tavern
* It's like you know what was said, but you cannot physically process or express it. When you try to picture it in your mind, all you see are rows and rows of black bars.
“Lines” in the sky
* Streaks of "emptiness" cover the sky, as if the stars go behind some sort of invisible lines
* They’ve just become a common, unexplainable part of existence
* “Remnants of Amsa’s struggle that shattered the heavens”
Came across a man on a road near the desert
* Injured, in a near-death state
* Had a sack with an unconscious child in it on his back
* Symbol of a pair of white circles inside a black circle on his pants
* "That damn Sword Saint. If I'd known it was him... If he wasn't drunk, I'd be long dead by now. Why did Master tell me to take this boy?"
* Senses the party and says: "Two Doors…?" and "… you… how did you escape?" (to Rip)
* Unmarked letter #2 on his body (see below)
Pass through the settlement of Anosa (population of 50) before reaching Sylas's house
Arrival at Sylas's House
Introductory conversation
* Sylas believes Caspar Loach (Voladore's uncle) was being hunted by a group of "Sovereigns"
* He says that Caspar Loach was the wielder of a piece of ancient power called a "Door." He inherited it from his father many years ago, and asked Sylas to make a magical "shell" for him, containing a fragment of his soul. In case he was killed or "silenced" somehow, he wanted to live on and continue with his research my putting his mind in the shell
* Caspar Loach's Door was seemingly transferred to Voladore
* The Door draws on some type of higher power, but Sylas doesn't know much about it
* Sylas also knows very little about the egg-shaped thing that Voladore has, but knows that Caspar Loach didn't want anyone else to have it
Secret room in Sylas's house (opened by tipping the chairs at his dining room table)
* Lee and Sylas found a faded sign washed up on the shore, written in the Ancient language (random)
* Lee (Castor's father) was investigating something that traces back to this group of people called Sovereigns
* Many years ago, some type of "scroll" manifested in front of him, seemingly from an otherworldly source
* Lee sensed some sort of strong sealing magic within the scroll and used it to create two seals that he believed to be "indestructible"
* Sylas believes that one of these seals was given away to someone else long ago, and he was supposed to give the other one to Castor when he thought the "time had come", so he could "use it against a certain man" if he ever came across him
* Sylas checks a secret compartment in the room and sees that its missing
* Video of it getting taken the day after Castor’s father left by someone who "looked exactly like Castor as a child"
* Sylas gives Castor the original scroll that manifested in front of his father, and it has writing on the back of it (see below)
Observatory
* The lens of the observatory broke a few months ago, and is only showing blurred images
* Sylas says: "I just wish I could be able to map the heavens. If only I could know more..." and then the "infinite page book" starts vibrating and glowing 
* As its opened, its pages begin flipping until it lands on a certain page, and then a 3 dimensional model of a portion of the solar system is projected out of the book:
** Red: "A nearby planet. A world of rock and radiance."
** Blue: "Your planet. A world of currents and change."
** Dark Green: "A planet forever changed. Storms and Liberty."
*** This planet has dozens of white lines extending out from it, with many simply extending outwards to the edge of the projection, but some seem to connect with the "blue planet" and some with the "gray planet"
Before they leave, Sylas makes them a new cart to basically turn it into a van (Mystery Machine)
