Where: The Old Capital
When: GHB 16 & 17
What: As foretold when the Kingdom was in deepest peril, the mythic sword of Rubilacxe has once again appeared in the Old Capital! Embedded deeply in a large stone set in the middle of the fountain in the town square, the mythical sword waits for the bravest of heroes to pull it free!




... well. Not just heroes. Looks like everyone's having a go trying to pull that thing out! It seems the locals of the Old Capital are making a tourist's spectacle of the whole deal. While there was a debate if they should charge people to try, it seems instead they've raised the prices on meals and rooms, and children (and some adults) can be found all over selling small cheep wooden carvings that may or may not look like the sword in the stone and other cheep souvenirs.

Well. That's the old capital for you! Lucky that you've gotten to use the king's fastest horses to get there unnaturally swiftly so you won't have to stay the night.

So, what'll it be, hero?

Liara set her shoulders. "If you think making it my responsibility is going to scare me off, you have no idea who, or what, I am." And then she pulled upon the sword again.

She took a slow breath as the city appeared around her, and she took a moment to study the sword. It seemed well made, at least, even if she still wasn't sure what to do with it. Still, she was no stranger to big changes, so as she turned towards the square and everyone in it, she lifted the sword high, so that everyone would be able to see it.

She let it be for just a moment, taking a breath, watching reactions. After a few moments, she lowered it a bit, and then placed it before her like a cane, not leaning on it but holding it in front of her, tip to the ground, between her and the crowd. She met eyes, looking from person to person.

"I chose to fight," she said. "This is a war, and war is what I shall bring to the thorns, and to anyone and anything that aid them. Today, you can pretend there is no war here, it belongs to other people, other places. But I am the Blue Sage of Thessia, brought here for my wisdom as well as my ability to fight, and I will tell you this one time: The War i going to find you, and I give you one chance, today, to be ready for its coming."

A moment more, and then she stared through the crowd, heading for the inn and her room.
