Passage, the heartland of The Concordian Summit. Located firmly within Lerona Mere, the end of a journey for many, in more ways than one. All manner of folk travel from great distances to see and be seen, to act as heroes or revel in the results of other’s actions. Warriors, priests, mages, researchers, civil and legal officials, merchants; there is no end to the variety of people who find themselves present in one of the most influential places in Southern Esterra.
Allies and enemies alike find themselves present at Passage, and this coming Autumn Summit proves no different from those before it.
Precursor of More
Once more, the attendance of Belia De Bevolio, Bursar of The Ratscrews, is well heralded to The Concord weeks in advance. Riding the great highs of Fanfestivo and the rewards of a great gamble well made, there is no secret that Belia’s coinpurse will be great, and her willingness to share it amongst the culture and joy of Passage easily assumed. It will remain to be seen whether the heroes of The Concord can earn back even a mite in services and art what she had taken from them in a simple coin toss six months prior.
But Belia would not be the only well heralded arrival, expected by Concordians but late in their presence. A Verator, Servant of The Peak and Entity of Anarch, mysterious in their simple existence but solitary in their single-minded purpose. Seen at distances, The Verator of The Peak has been identified nonetheless, though their goals and intent so far remains as mysterious as their visage.
Far more conspicuous than even the entity of The Spheres, would be those that serve their greater doctrine. Flanked by guards dressed in Lorica Segmentata and Lorica Hamada, a Bishop of the Artebazzani Church of the Divine Spheres has been seen travelling through Andash and the Greenweald, so far unstopped by Magistrates for purpose as yet unpublished. Whatever their reason, whatever their goal, there will be Artebazzani at Passage once more.
These visitors, seen and identified, remain but a few of those that will see the streets of Passage first hand. Heroes, townsfolk and those yet more mysterious will grace the Autumn Summit, whether their presence is desired or not.
Game Information
Belia De Bevolio is expected to attend the Fanfestivo of Passage in the evening of the second day of Summit, hoping to view what art and culture the heroes of The Concord have managed to put on display for all to see. Additional information for De Bevolio can be found in the 'Poli': Meaning Many; 'Tics': Meaning Bloodsuckers Winds.
An entity of The Sphere of Anarch, The Verator of the Peak, is also expected to attend Passage on the first day of Summit. While there are some who should be aware of their presence, their goals, intent and purpose as yet remain unclear.
Finally, an Artebazzani Bishop and his guards are expected to attend Passage on the second day of Summit. Their purpose, whatever it may be, has allowed them to enter Concordian lands and travel to Passage, despite the outstanding exile aimed at Artebazzani citizens. Whispers speak that their purpose aligns with actions of The Church and Council of Six, but none truly know.
