I need to update the world about my wild goose chase. I wonder how they will
feel if they ever realize it's all not real. Until that time though, to them
it is real. I helped the Fortress look for a robe for a very long time, they
were saying it was in the great mage stronghold of Thar-Acacia. So I met them
there and they asked if I had any coin so they might buy the robe they
suspected. I gave it to them, a hundred gold! They were disappointed when it
wasn't the right robe, but the four of them seemed to be having a great time
in the hours leading up to that discovery. I know the Spire, the Empire, and
Heralds are also looking for the items during their free time.


Isn't that the point of my fun though? The Empire, instead of dominating and
oppressing others with an iron fist, is out on a goose chase trying to find a
book before the Fortress finds it. These people are so desperate for meaning
and purpose in their lives that I don't even have to try very hard to come up
with an end goal for them. I simply say 'I think Argothus wants to destroy
the Chasm' and off they go. Not towards domination, but in a completely
different direction they had no intention of going that isn't even a part of
their grand plan.


I still don't really know where any of it is going, but I think it will
continue going in that direction for a long while if I have my way.
