Chapter 374 The Origin of Yongju Island
In the depths of the forest of elves, come to the holy land of elves Dreamland Valley, Lengcui City, and the remnants of the gray water rebuilt on the ruins. Around the quiet spring, the ancestors of the Luzhi clan thrived here.
They have passed down from generation to generation, building homes, and the long history has passed. This ancient family gathering place has developed into a beautiful city that combines natural beauty and elf art.
The city is built on a huge old tree. Whenever the wind blows, the hollow of the old tree will make a hollow and melodious sound. Therefore, this beautiful city is called "Wind Song of TC. Many deer branches live in the city. The elves of the Clan, but there are also elves and other races who have settled here elsewhere.
The "Windsong Council" of the Deerbranch clan Dakasan Luzhi manages the Windsong Tower, and there are about 3000 elf guards stationed in the city. This army is called "Windsong Blade".
Brian couldn't help but recall the legend about the Tower of Windsong.
For more than 700 years, the arcane magic academy in the great city of Myth Dranno has trained the most talented elf mages in Faerun since the fall of Netheril.
Unfortunately, with the fall of Myth Drannor, the extent of Windsong Tower's influence on elven mages may never be known.
Because whether it is the guardian of Fengsong or the manager, they have strictly guarded their identities from beginning to end, even the students.
Now if he wanted to know more about it, he had to explore among the ruins himself.
Brian stared at the legendary tower, and with a thought, he used spells to raise a gust of wind, gently blowing towards the tower.
The gentle breeze blows over the three-dimensional and artistic carvings on the surface of the tower, and the sound of the zither is like a song, like the spring breeze greening the fields, the rain bamboos falling into the bamboo forest, and like a bright moon shining in the dark night, washing a the human mind.
"As expected, it deserves to be called the Tower of Windsong." Brian murmured to himself, "Even if this tower is almost destroyed, the singing that is blown by the breeze, like the sound of a piano, still exists."
After recovering from the faint singing voice, he didn't waste any more time, pointed the Windsong Ring he took out to the highest tower in the center of the Windsong Tower, and activated it with a password.
Accompanied by a magical aura flashing from the ancient elven runes of the Windsong Ring, the magic barrier surrounding the Windsong Tower was trembling slightly, absorbing the power from the sun, and creating an almost magical line in front of Brian. Invisible arch bridge.
After Brian confirmed it carefully, he carefully stepped onto the arch bridge and walked towards the inside of the Tower of Windsong.
Entering the inside of the Tower of Windsong, he was surprised to find that the area full of towers was like a comfortable forest. The fountain in the middle of the woodland made soothing bubbling sounds, and the refreshing fragrance of wild flowers permeated the air.
Even with the passage of time, the lush vines and woodlands have lost nothing of their beauty.
Brian didn't stay here for long, and walked straight towards the central main tower.
After a while, he came to the inside of the main tower unimpeded.
This is a spacious hall. The stars are shining faintly on the ceiling like a deep sky. Two rows of pillars carved into elven women occupy a dominant position in the hall, but they have been damaged to an unrecognizable degree.
Brian passed over the collapsed stone pillars around him, and was attracted by the mysterious elf runes engraved on a relatively intact wall.
He raised his hand, and a magical aura flashed.
The dusty and black blood-stained walls suddenly took on a new look, revealing the clear ancient elf writing.
At first, the ancient elf Brian was at a loss and didn't know what to say. Just when he was at a loss what to do, the Ring of Windsong in his hand, which he couldn't see the specific attributes so far, flashed a magic spell spontaneously. The aura made him immediately recognize the specific meaning of the writing on the wall.
What surprised him was that the above content was about the origin of 'Yongju Island'.
This is an excerpt from the Speech of the Elven High Magister Leloth Runelord 'The Origin of the Verdant Isle', published 17000 years ago in the Year of Pride Tales:
The topic we are discussing today is Aceru Tail Queser, which means in Elven language: the great secret art of the people.
The greatest example of elf high magic - under the perfect combination of arcana, knowledge and song, the birth of the green island.
According to our historical records, about 9000 years ago, Tel Queser - the greatest elf high mages united and cast a endless secret Yi, split the continent of Faerûn and created the verdant isle on which we now stand.
According to the common opinion among anthropologists, our ancestors tore off a chunk of Faerûn—which led to the creation of the Sword Coast—and then managed to float it into the middle of the Traceless Sea.
But our survey of the natural world has shown that beautiful Isle of Evermeet is as old as the world, its forests and rock formations formed long before the age of prosperity.
So how on earth can we explain the inconsistency between long-standing legends about the birth of a new land and the fact that this land has always existed?
The Aivor Sakketien Mystery is different from the Arcel Tel Queser we are performing now in many ways, and as for its essence, today I would like to offer you my personal opinion.
Long before the War of the Crown split the clan of Tel Quesir and the destruction of our greatest kingdoms, the Patriarchs considered the need for a Sanctuary - one that would be one with Faerûn but separate from the Where it is, it will be the home and soul of the Tyr Queser clan.
But the birth of our beautiful island did not tear the world apart as man imagined.
Instead, the ancestors developed such a strong connection to the Weave that a part of the plane of Arvandor became part of Toril, as if it had always existed forever.
By changing the creation of the world, our ancestors also changed the history of this world that has not yet happened.
Happily, their actions did not change all important history, for they merely created an island in the middle of an unexplored ocean—an island hidden from mortal eyes by the will of the Seldarine gods.
But they did change history, and the true extent of that change for the people who followed them into the world can never be clarified.
We've spoken before about the unintended consequences that often accompany the casting of Arcel Tel Queser, and why we should be wary of arrogant attempts to reshape the world of Toril to our liking.
In this case, I think the cause and effect are both far-reaching and extremely subtle.
In concentrating the Weave at one point by means of the Aivor Sakketien Mystery, our ancestors may have inadvertently weakened the concentration of the Weave in other parts of the world as well, resulting in the result.
We know that the concentration of the Ley is not uniform, and that this difference creates nodes of various powers - leyline radiation, areas of dead magic, and areas of wild magic - all of which are strangely completely absent from our beautiful seaside.
Perhaps this situation was not an accidental result of the Aivor Sakketien mystery?
For those of us who have wandered the forests of Faerûn, have noticed the Isle of Verdant and the Far Lands s difference.
Has this always been the case, or have our ancestors created this effect with the Aivor Sakketien Mystery?
So the question remains - did our ancestors really need this withdrawal in creating the perfect home for them to live in?
In concentrating the Weave on those distant shores, did they deprive themselves and their descendants of their natural connection to the Weave elsewhere in Faerûn?
I think we must ponder these questions and consider the possible costs as we seek to erect new lines of defense for our beloved Isle of Evermeet.
…………
Seeing the speech left on the wall of the main hall of the Tower of Windsong, Brian finally understood that its function was to warn the elf mages of this arcane academy not to step into the ancestors' life due to the abuse of magic. follow suit.
After all, the high elf magic mentioned in the content 'Aivor Sarketion's Endless Mystery' refers to the gathering place where hundreds of elf high mages gathered in the center of Faerun about 17000 years ago The ritual performed.
They have long forgotten the lessons brought about by the destruction of the Tintagel elf kingdom centuries ago (about 24500 years ago), and cast an elf high magic in order to create an elf home full of splendor and beauty.
On the day of birth, the spell reaches its zenith in power as it rolls back and forth through the mists of time.
The one and only Lu Faerun was torn apart by the out-of-control forces unleashed by the separation of the continents.
In the end, hundreds of cities were destroyed, tens of thousands of elves perished, and the land of Toril was forever changed.
The name Faerun no longer belongs to the only land, but refers to the largest continent.
And the island of Eternal Gathering surrounded by the vast ocean—it is considered to be a part of the plane of Avandor and a bridge between different planes, and because of this ritual, it began to appear on the surface of the Sea of Traceless.
Then, under the blessing of the elf goddess Angras, verdant forests and a large number of wild animals soon flourished all over the island.
Corellon Larethian, the lord of the elves, also blessed the island of Evermeet from Rose, Mara, and other enemies of the Seldarine pantheon, and entrusted a unique seed to the noble race on the island.
The seed quickly germinated and grew into a tiny tree called the Tree of Souls.
Over time, the souls of those ancient elves who chose to remain in the world of Toril rather than travel to Avandor merged into the Tree of Souls and slowly increased its power.
The prophecy shows that when the noble race ends their life in exile on the Isle of Verdure and finally returns to the mainland, the tree of souls will be transplanted to Faerun.
Thinking of the countless ghosts of elves he had encountered before entering the ruins of Myth Drannor, Brian immediately realized that the only way for these elves to be redeemed right now is to let Cormanthor's newly appointed Ilseveri, who planted the seed of the tree of souls that the Queen of the Isle of Evermeet bestowed upon her, planted it in Myth Drannor.
Only in this way can the elves of Toril completely end their life in exile on the Isle of Evermeet as predicted in the prophecy, and finally return to the mainland of Faerun, and then rebuild Myth Drannor and truly gain a firm foothold.
Brian stopped paying attention to the contents on the walls and began to search for other important contents in the ruins of the tower hall.
He searched for about half an hour, and really found some useful information for him on these broken walls.
For example, when Myth Draenor was captured by invaders in the year of destruction in 714DR, although the Tower of Windsong was not spared, three buildings survived the final battle.
In addition, Brian also used his creation magic to repair a stone slab that was broken into countless pieces, and got another important message by accident:
According to the above, a dark fortuneteller of the Tower of Windsong, a mage group of Myth Dranno, discovered the "Black Forbidden Book" in some ancient ruins.
So, based on her own knowledge and what she learned from the ancient book "Black Forbidden Book", the elven mage Ogasila, who is known as a madman, actually made her predict a set of dark stories that are closely related to the lost lady. year history.
This dark chronicle spans about a hundred years. Whether it is the return of the City of Shadows, the revival of the Elven Expeditionary Army, or the plan of the lost lady Shar against the goddess of magic, Mystra, it is almost all predicted by it.
Most importantly, according to its cursed original text, the mad mage Orgathra also completed a work called "A Night of Thousand Petals", which revealed the secret of the goddess Shar.
As the goddess who keeps secrets, there is no doubt that these secrets have completely angered the Lost Lady, and the consequence is that both "Black Forbidden Book" and "A Night with a Thousand Petals" were stolen by Shar's followers, and the crazy Ogasila also Therefore, he disappeared mysteriously, and no news has been found so far.
"It's "Black Forbidden Book" again!" Seeing this, Brian couldn't help but frowned.
Because the "Black Forbidden Book" was also mentioned in a series of actions by the lost lady Shar against the goddess of magic, Mystra.
In particular, the dark rituals that led to the fall of the capital of Sambia and Tivanton are all inseparable from the "Black Forbidden Book" that records the secrets of the lost lady.
From this, Brian deduced that the most effective way to stop the Lost Lady's actions against the Goddess of Magic was to find the missing madman Ogasila.
Only by finding this person who has studied the secrets of the "Black Forbidden Book" can we find out what the Lost Lady's purpose in stealing another Nether Scroll is.
It's just that Brian has no idea how to find the mad mage.
Just when Brian was worried about this, his keen perception suddenly found a black shadow 'floating' towards him without sound.
"Intruder, you should be punished for the despicable deeds you committed! Now, stop meaningless resistance and accept the trial of the Tower of Windsong!" An arrogant and cold voice sounded in Brian's mind:
"Obey, without delay!"
