Diverging Tides

---

You have stopped the advance of the Bloodfire Army here in the southern Reef. The Pelagic Order will fortify the temple so that your efforts were not in vain. You should go north, help the other towns of the reef resist this incursion. Lailia the Sage is the Atragarian Scion of Dobori Village. She has been a friend to the order and calls for our protection. Her other allies, the Ghar, are mortal descendants of invaders from your world. Their nightmares do great damage to this layer of the plane.

By the sun! Are you some new nightmare sent to drive me mad, or are you the real thing? It's true! You are from Telara! We've been rediscovered by our home! Pity that you couldn't arrive before our tenuous survival under the sea was threatened by the unrelenting infernal forces of damnation. But as the old Ghar saying goes, "Any walk about the planes that doesn't end in a cosmic catastrophe is probably not worth taking." I was very sad to hear about Lailia though. She was extraordinarily kind to us. I didn't mean to sound flip about it. I have a hard time dealing with loss, so tend to cover it with inappropriate humor and science experiments.
