EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

The Arybar definitely leave an impression, Gear thinks. He doesn't know if he's going to take advantage of their hospitality tonight, but for now he's just investigating and trying to find out what he can. He doesn't know what information might end up being helpful for them later on, so he'll be as friendly as possible--even if he can ramble a bit when he's trying to figure something out. He'll be looking for anyone who seems to be willing to answer his questions, putting up with the nosy Foreigner.

"It's really great of you guys to be so welcoming," he says. "Do you get a lot of visitors here?"

Veldyzh is sitting, so as not to tower over the (completely adorable, in her opinion) visitors. Her skin patterning is reminiscent of an ocelot, chocolate against tanned skin.

"None to speak of," she replies. "Though a ship did land on the coast around thirty years ago."

[It's pretty interesting and you would think he'd have dealt with more animal-Bang Babies, but not really. So it's always kind of fascinating to Gear to see someone like that. He tries not to make it to obvious.]

Thirsty years ago? Was it a turtle ship--uh, I mean, how big was it?

[ The matriarch pulls out a long-stemmed pipe, chewing thoughtfully on the end of it for a moment. ]

It wasn't a Great Turtle, no, though it was very large in comparison to regular ships. Near the size of one of these old Temples, it were.

[Now that's surprising. It sounds like one of the huge tankers they have back home.] Do you know where the ship came from? We haven't really run into anything that big out there yet.

[That he knew of.]

[ Ironically, the ship had been very tanker-like! ]

They said they were from Kerro Raris. Can't quite remember what they called themselves, Hypai-something or other. They couldn't get over the jungle and the water here.

Kerro Raris... [He repeats the name and knows Backpack is filing it away in the databanks.]

I haven't heard of them before, is that a city nearby?

[ Veldyzh shakes her head, pulling another drag of the tangy-scented smoke. ]

A continent, the way you people call this one "Siaxhi", east of here.

[Oh this is good. Gear's data on the other landmasses is limited to what he found in the old posts on his console. If these Hypai-people were surprised by jungles and water, he's guessing they are from somewhere a bit more barren. Definitely something to keep in mind.]

Did they tell you why they were here? What were they looking for?

Something specific if I had to guess, the way they always had their noses to the ground while wandering around. They kept wanting to dig in the fields though, that caused quite some commotion.

[So they were searching for something and thought digging up crops would find it? That means they either were willing to look anywhere and everywhere, or they thought it might be hidden in a less conspicuous place.]

Did they leave with anything?
