The Grand Holiday

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

The greatest day in all of history. According to tradition, today marks the first day of Caelesterra's existence because today is the first day of year 0000CE. Folks all throughout the kingdom and across the continent have been celebrating all day, and the party is not slowing down just cause the sun has set. Little do they know what the new year would bring.
Image


But to add to the joys of the night, the new Prince of the Crown has been born. His peaceful slumber is a stark contrast to the revelry outside.
Image


Elsewhere up in the tower, the most powerful wizards in the land have gathered on this auspicious night to
discuss a matter of great importance.
Image


Grand Wizard Door: '... and that leaves us with the main reason for this meeting tonight. Dr. Ilkas?'
Image


Dr. Ilkas: 'We have finally uncovered the location of the Great Mage's legendary artifacts.
Image


'The Infinite Spike: said to be able to pierce through any material
Image


'The Ring of Power and Aid: energizes the user for any task, no matter how great.
Image


'And The Crown of Fire: allows the wearer to harnesses the strength and speed of a falling star.'
Image


Elven Queen Tarasynora: 'Then we just need to find the right ritual site to activate them - history tells us the Great Mage made one specifically for unifying their power - and then one of us can use the artifacts.'
Image


Izahr: 'Who?'
Image


As an argument errupts at the table, two new friends explore a nook in the back of the room.
Adventurer: 'So who was this Great Mage anyways'
Image


Explorer: 'The Great ancient mage was the first ever mage and brought magic to the Lands of Caelesterra. It's said he pierced the heavens as a falling star; and is the only Mage to ever learn the secrets of Starmancy.'
Image

The Council members cannot decide who is to be the one to use the artifacts once aquired.
Image


As the council members continue to argue, many of the mages decided to take matters into their own hands. Izahr, Dr. Ilkas, The Elven Mages, Rosemary and many others leave on their individual quests to find the three legendary artifacts, each with their own plan to claim them and harness their power. The Royal Mage Guild has fractured!
Image


In the days to come, the mages would not be the only ones searching for the artifacts. Word spread and other groups have formed, each with their own idea of how to use the power of the legendary items. Paths are destined to cross in a cataclysmic clash of magic and might.
