Summary
No one is really sure where Aeor came from. They knew of the ancient city maybe, the one which crash landed somewhere what became the frozen, icy wastes of Eiselcross. They even perhaps knew about the ruins below Eiselcross, extensive as they were, with people and automata and objects alike frozen in time, if they moved within the ‘right’ circles.
But no one knows where this Aeor came from. Like its ancient predecessor, it landed onto Exandria, but this time with much less ceremony and destruction, coming to rest in 835PD. Instead of crashing and crumbling and subsequently being buried by hundreds of years of snow and ice, this Aeor floated to the ground after hovering for just a few hours in the Hellcatch Valley region of Marquet.

Summary
The peace negotiations between the Empire and the Kryn Dynasty were a nasty, drawn out affair. One clause, in the long and complicated treaty, exchanged an Empire mage with interesting transmutation abilities to the Dynasty.
Bren Aldric Ermendrud has discovered a way to help replenish the Dynasty's lost generations - a way to recreate the rare ability for drow to lay and bear clutches, and reproduce in larger numbers. Bren, of course, will be a gift of enormous value to the Dynasty - a human who will bear the first of many clutches, rejuvenating the Dynasty under the light of the Luxon.

Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.
