**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
 For too long Ferrous Bullwark Expropriation had been away from Creation. He had spent long weeks on end burrowing through seemingly endless tomes in his library, but had made very little progress. His research kept directing him to find a particular tome that discussed healing mortals damaged by contact with the Fair Folk. Only one referenced it's location...Ysyr.
     Though not particularly well-traveled, even FBE knew that one does not simply walk into Ysyr. He would need some assistance. To his knowledge, his best chance of finding it would be in Palanquin. As such, he gathered some supplies for the trip, made sure his sister was well provided and materialized Zenara, his Agata familiar, to take him there.
     He quickly flew along the shoreline and eventually saw, the giant, stone men carrying the city. The wasps bejewelled wings lifted them higher on the approach to the top of the statues. A small crowd had gathered some scared and some in awe of the beautiful creature approaching. FBE directs Zenara to circle above the crowd before coming to a soft landing in an open plaza.
     FBE, a green-haired man with metallic skin wearing iridescent robes dismounts the giant wasp with a bit of a flourish. He strokes the wasps head and, louder than probably necessary, says "Thank you, my friend. Rest now for our work will continue soon enough."

**Acala (7) has posed:**
A white robed figure emerges from the crowd, approaching curiously. He tilts its head to one side, and says "Well. This is an interesting spectacle. Are you a sorcerer? From Ysyr perhaps?" A sword hangs from his belt and his hand rests on a very round pouch on the far side, fingers under the soft leather.

**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
Ferrous' glances down at the sword and smiles. He looks back to his mount, pats it gently on the head and replies "A sorcerer most assuredly...though not from Ysyr."

**Acala (7) has posed:**
"I see" The figure approaches a little closer to take a better look at the creature. "I think they use prefer Stormwind Riders anyway..." He withdraws his hand from the pouch, revealing the briefest chromatic shimmer, as if the light is split by a dozen prisms, before the pouch is closed. "What brings you to Palanquin then?" He asks.

**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
"How rude of me." He says and straightens his posture before stating loudly. "I am Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation and I have come seeking assistance in locating an arcane text that may reside in the libraries of Ysyr." He gives a small bow and lowers his voice once more. "And you are?

**Acala (7) has posed:**
"I am called Acala" The figure responds. "But I do not think you will get easy access to the libraries of Ysyr at this time. There have been some... events recently" It is difficult to tell how he feels, as his face is concealed behind a white veil. "But perhaps some help can be found. There are some Ysyrians in Palanquin after all"

**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
Ferrous scrunches his brow in thought. "Well, I had assumed the task would be neither simple nor direct in approach. With some assistance, I am confident a solution will present itself. How fortunate that I have met someone such as yourself so quickly."
    With a wave of his hand, the Agata fades from the world. "Would you be so kind as to direct me to where I might find these Ysyrians?"

**Acala (7) has posed:**
"Mmm." Acala ponders"I am relatively new to the city myself but there is a woman by the name of Indigo who is from Ysyr. She is quite... distinct, so finding her should be no problem. The real issue is whether outsiders are currently allowed intp Ysyr, given the recent uprising." Acala responds. "What's so important about this tome anyway?"

**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
A hint of sadness shades Ferrous' demeanor. "My sister and I suffered greatly at the hands of the Fair Folk. She was not as resilient as I. The girl is only a shade of the vibrant youth I once knew. My research has indicated that some succor for her could be found in this book."

**Acala (7) has posed:**
"I see..." Acala ponders. "In the desert, we never tried that" He says. "If the Fair Folk took one of ours, they were never seen again. If they only took their life, that was a relief. If they left them a shell, well..." He pauses. "But enough of such grim talk. I am sure there is some aid for your sister somewhere. Come. You must be hungry and thirsty after your travels. Let us go find somewhere for you to rest."

**Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation (28) has posed:**
 He perks up once more. "Indeed. It has been a long journey and some comfort and...lighter...conversation would be appreciated. I'd love to hear more about the man behind those yellow eyes."

**Acala (7) has posed:**
"Me?" Acala laughs. "I'm not that interesting, I'm afraid. Anyway. There's a lovely inn this way. They make some good roast fish" He turns and motions for Ferrous Bulwark Expropriation to follow, leading him past the small crowd towards the nearby inn.
