After traveling by sea for so many weeks, we finally had come upon the eastern shores of Velious. Although I had never seen the shoreline with my own eyes, some of the fishermen, including Beli, said that things changed there dramatically. After the terrible events I had seen over the days prior, I don't believe anything there, or anywhere in Velious, would have been the same. We met up with other survivors, and began to attempt to put together a settlement.
We had met with the few brave Othmir who had accompanied Nipik on his initial journey from the Cobalt Scar, and much to our dismay, found that Fina had died during the journey. It was clear that this had affected Nipik deeply, but his inner strength and conviction was incredible. He had lost some of his willingness to carry out the deed to which he had been entrusted, and still had the courage to help lead us during this difficult time.
I spent some time walking the shores that were now our home. I had heard that once, a great, black tower had loomed over the landscape here, but much have sunk when the upheavals in Velious began. I would sometimes search the waters for traces of the dark tower, but I never was able to find any evidence of its existence. I had thought, at that point, that either it had been a myth, or had indeed sunk to impossible depths.
I did, however, find pieces of what was once a massive bridge, supposedly constructed from the bones of dragons themselves. Although I had never seen the bridge myself, it was supposed to have connected the small pieces of land on which the tower stood, to the greater mass of the continent itself. This intrigued me, since I thought that maybe since the bridge apparently existed, perhaps so did the tower. It was a mystery I was always content in fantasizing about, since the answers were likely lost in the icy seas.
Once Nipik returned from a fishing trip he had embarked on, and explained that he had received another vision, and that he would need to travel further to the north. He said that this task was entrusted to him, and that it was not necessary for the other members of the tribe to accompany him. However, many of us stepped forward to join him. I, myself, was inspired by his courage and leadership, and was willing to follow him into the unknown to help in his endeavor, whatever it might be. Within days, we had packed up enough supplies for a journey of weeks, and left to follow the visions of Nipik.
We floated into the unknown for some time. One morning, I awoke, feeling a chilling wind across my pelt. I looked around, and most of the others were still sleeping, save Nipik -- he stood to the front of the raft, looking off into the horizon. I followed his gaze, and I saw great floes of ice looming in the distance. However, to my amazement, piercing the sky was a lone, black tower, standing tall above everything else in view. What I thought once to be lost or nothing more than a legend, turned out to be very real.
It was near the base of this tower that Nipik had found the one he had been searching for - the creature known as Lodizal, a mighty turtle empowered by Prexus himself. It was here that we would build our new camp. We would care for our new charge, and ensure his well-being, and help to fulfill the task that was handed to Nipik, but is now shared by us all.
