# [[Iridian Notes]] ## Maius 26th, 10,010 Kai and I finally arrived in Solume! It's so massive!!! A bit overwhelming, but I smell adventure in the air... First, we went to the academy to see Felora. Should I have gone to the academy? Idk I love the vibes though! Felora and I have always gotten along well, and we love teasing Kai. Anyway, I wanted to go to the Augusta Chapel to see the gem, but when Kai gets hungry... So we ended up at Puffy Chews for a snack! Eventually, we made our way around and to Augusta Chapel, where I got to meet Lorelai again! And she remembered me! She told us that one of the gems was on display right now, WHICH IS SO COOL!!!!! Maybe the other gems are out there for me to find????? ANYWHO, we continued to explore the Chapel, and I lost Kai for a few minutes. After a little bit, I find Kai and he's HOT all the sudden? And made a deal with a Marid? Lorelai isn't concerned, even though Kai keeps talking to "Jillian" in his head... Although if it gives him those looks, maybe I shouldn't be concerned... Lorelai gave us a little history lesson on Djinn: - They are typically created by "too much magic being put into the environment" - They typically grant 3 wishes that must be worded carefully I roll with the punches and start to adapt to Kai's new... look, and we head to the Welby Basilica (where the gem is being shown!). We meet up with Felora and a bunch of her friends (Echo the grung, Fimbul the tiefling, and Nami the elf). The presentation begins! > 10,000+ years ago, the Iridian Calamety befell us. The Royal Gemstones of each nation were thought to be lost forever. The Orange Jasper of Etsiaro has been found. Embedded in a black frame in the shape of a four pointed star. Attunement magic has been lost. During the presentation, I noticed a stout dwarven woman with ginger hair standing up and preparing to leave, but then she starts heading towards the altar! Kai, Fimbul, and I charge towards her to stop whatever she's planning! The dwarf races towards the gem and grabs it, and both the gem and her eyes glow orange! I tried to attack her but she gained wings all the sudden and flew through the roof! The dwarf says "Nothing personal," before flying further away. Kai let us know that the glowing was the dwarf attuning to the gem, meaning she has a connection to it through her bloodline! Nami then approached us all and offered a quest to find the gem... as SECRET AGENTS! She tells us that she's a member of the Mage's Heart of Irisagie Association, who usually just register magic users... but what if the MHIA is ALSO the Magical Historical Intelligence Agency!!! Nami then takes us to the MHIA and into an office building, through an "Employees Only" door, and into a secret room. The receptionist down there is a purple firbolg woman in a chair with wheels. We each go into a room for an "interview" with Cassius Belgrave, and I succeed more than expected to protect myself from magic. I BEEFED it on my history though... Lorelai would be so disappointed. Why did I think I knew the name of the original gem holders????? Ughhhh So I signed the contract, which Kai later told me kept us past death (that's fine, I think!) and we all head looking towards the armory. We meet Aqua, an elven woman with yellow eyes, and follow her to the armory. Not much interesting there, so I challenged Kai to a fight and KICKED HIS ASS! TWICE! (Okay, I lost the first time but BARELY) After a long day, Kai and I head to Maegia Hotel for a swanky night in luxury. We're told to come back to the MHIA the next morning for our first mission! ## Maius 27th, 10,010 For our first mission, we're sent to Silver Oaks Secondary School where they believe there's a beast/monster/aberration roaming the school and interfering. Our task is to find and dispose it! Hell yeah. We also get our vests and IDs with clearance level 1, and head to the armory to grab healing potions! Next we go to the teleportation bay to travel to Silver Oak and start to walk to the School. We meet Principal Dorius Toviar who tells us students are using the student to cheat on exams (it has oracular abilities). He refers us to three students, and the other three members of the group go to talk to them while Felora and I look for magical traces. We end up in the archives and I tick off the librarian a little bit, but eventually convince her to let me into the Archives where I sense strong divination magic. It's probably nothing... unless... We all meet up at the library and head into the Archives following the student librarian assistant (Amyss). In there, we find the nothic we're looking for and I tried to punch the shit out of it! Didn't work, but Fimbul ended up getting an epic blow on it. Amyss seemed pretty upset so I stabilized it, and the others went to go talk to the principal. Apparently the nothic was the former librarian, the students were trying to retain their "safe space," and we ruined everything. I think it's fine, personally, we just had a mission to do, and we completed it. But Kai seems pretty beat up about it. I even head that Echo punched the principal! Anyway, we took the body back to the MHIA to debrief.
