"Interestingly enough, I do. You see, that is why I am here. Last time I just stopped through, but there was such a large amount of people here wwho seem the type that would be interested in what I found out." Sitting in a chair, he reaches inside his black leather jacket, adorned with the same metal buckles, zippers and chains, ""If you would take a look at this..." He holds forth a glossy piece of parchment. "I found that in the archives of the Interplanetary Wizards Council on Eridan four." Anticipating the odd look he would recieve for the unusual texture of the paper, he waves his hand, "don't mind that, its some of that high bond paper the mages use, guaranteed for up to a thousand years." "If you would be interested, we could gather some more 'brave souls' and investigate this Planet of Blackhawk...?" Looking around the tavern, he speaks to those paying attention, "Is there anybody who feels like exploring new worlds, finding new civilizations...oh sorry, I've been watching to many 20th century re-runs. But I do need some help." Jonny Steele (Lord) Cyber-gunslinger extraordinair *ADMIN, for those who peer or view the parchment, it is magical coordinates of a gate to an unusual world called the Planet of Blackhawk. The paper seems to have been torn from a book. It is written as a report, and has a summary: "Although not much is known of the surface of Blackhawk, it is known that there is an entire civilization of people living beneath the ground in massive interconnecting chambers and rivers. A singular group of mages is believed to have built Blackhawk, and brought the people to Blackhawk. They have servants, known as the Overlords, who watch the populance, guaranteeing that it does not get out of hand. There were four distinct races, all of the Homo Sapiens classification: Homo Sapiens Astutus (Humans) Homo Sapiens Eldae Saxum (Elves, burly and stong in stature-rock elves) Homo Sapiens Eldae Sedito (Elves, red hair tall, lithe frame) Homo Sapiens Pumilio Saxum (Dwarves) Homo Sapiens Fae Naias (Water Fae) There are several separate city states, along with a stong church, which is a twisted version of the Zurvian faith. This, along with the odd technology (Energy weapons, Prosthetics, alongside a medieval society), leads me to believe the Blackhawk Mages have pulled the people from this plane. I reccomend that further investigation is made to find the Newtonian location of the Planet of Blackhawk, and to release its people from their inprisonment. Cronim Eranthimor, 1324, Eridan IV
