Early morning dew hangs off the street sign to the Shifted Codex, a shop in Nora’s Respite. As the sun barely peeks over the horizon, A burly man digs through his bag for his keys and unlocks the door.
Stepping inside he closes the door behind him. Navigating his way through the shop of books, scrolls and other oddities, He sits down at a desk in the back. Long shadows fill the room as the sun slowly starts its journey in the sky. He pulls from his bag a book and starts to scribble some thoughts onto a blank page. Clutched in his other hands is a black, metallic, triangular trinket that he fiddles with as he writes.
“Day 515
Finally, I have made it into the doors of the Magical Bureaucrats. Due to recent events and my familiarity to this area, the Order saw fit that I return to Nora’s Respite. This region is very closely tied to the Royce family, not surprising this town was named after Elenore Royce, the late wife to Renard and mother to the three Royce Children. The order already had their gaze here when Germanis went rouge looking for the crystals. He knew about Nova’s box somehow, or at least he knew that what it could be used for. With his recent departure and the passing of Sir Siegfried, I know a few more order reps have been re-assigned to the area.
There are stirs of things darker in the area as well, a lot of un-authorized magic being reported. If I can get my hands on it before the others, I will do my best to learn it before I am forced to turn it in. Anything that can give me an edge in the coming months. I feel the storm coming. “
Closing the book, kalen takes a pause to think about the challenges at the doorstep. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly hides the book in its secret spot and makes his way to the front door. He rotates the sign on the window welcoming in the travelers on the street.
