@Kal Goldtail The lynx listened carefully, nothing new so far but at least he was heading someplace instead of trying to randomly stumble into any point of interest. That was a good start, and the vixen, while unassuming, wasn't unpleasant unlike some. She seemed to be more educated and...

@Kal Goldtail It was very interesting to see how this city and culture could transform on a whim. Tal'Rakan didn't even know before that Westisle existed. As such he felt odd walking around as most beasts around suddenly wore different clothes, ate different things and spoke words not used...

The lynx was a bit surprised actually to hear about the role of this vixen chosen mate. Priest of secret knowledge? So he was one teaching word of a Phoenix and managing their hatchlings while doing the work of entertainers to know the unknown? Or was it measly a case of another hard to...

Tal'Rakan was feeling very odd here. Due to his status as a foreign diplomat, he was given an invitation to this birthday party of what he understood was a High Priest equivalent, one responsible for... Niceties? Aside from the fact they had an entire branch dedicated to something that should be...

The Lynx took a second to also notice the newcomers. One fox, very elegant by local standards and one... rodent, looking like a cripple that was forced to fight over and over again, no matter the wounds. There was a pang of objection within him. Phoenixes called for sacrifice of oneself for...

Tal'Rakan took the answer calmly, raising an eyebrow as the money was transferred. That was surprisingly familiar, especially combined with the words of this todd. Entertainers were a caste despised for causing problems for other two castes with power. Yet they were paid for their work by the...

Rakan was listening and absorbing all of this knowledge. This... red giant, roughly his size, seemingly was an expert on the local myths and legends. The others? They were the ones those were created of. Truly a Marvelous group. His short tail was now swaying behind him as his curiosity rose...

Tal'Rakan carefully stared at the piece of glassy stone, remembering the local word for it. Obsidian. A fairly common rock, mined among the Fire Talons by the brave or foolish. He wondered if this piece came to this place through the traders from before the isolation had happened. Ultimately he...

The lynx in the room pondered deeply the words of the crimson furred vixen as well as this flamboyant fox. It gave him a rather extensive picture of who they were, as well as providing Rakan with insights that had very deep consequences. Here he was, sitting at the table with what as he could...

Rakan was somewhat an enjoyer of fine drinks, he already got himself slightly familiarised with the local ways of enjoying oneself. A fair reward for his duty to his gods and nation. Besides, land of chaos like this also offered hedonistic pleasures that Rakan simply couldn't pass on...

Rakan was now seeing (and even more so hearing) why this place was so good for information gathering. It seemed as if everyone important or interesting was here. He didn't want to interject, not yet at least. And the fox proclaiming to, as he understood, pay for all drinks... that one seemed...

Walking up to this sizeable building, Tal'Rakan was unsure. This was apparently the best place to learn any sorts of news or stories in the city, at least according to the merchant from his crew that came back quite... inebriated. Nevertheless, now Rakan felt naked. Still having his armour but...

Tal'Rakan had followed the vixen into the building. The sounds of crushing bone didn't bother him but he felt it was unnecessary. He was used to bringing death in many ways but why on this world under the Phoenixes wings would one not just use a blade. He decided not to bother with that too...

Rakan nodded and gave once more full bow, spreading his plumage with his arms. "Thank you for your answer Hikh Priestess. I am sure Phoenixes will invite your enlikhtened preinkkh to learn and teach alike." He said and rose up again. There was much to be done but for now he needed to wait for...

Rakan couldn't refuse an invitation as such. Maybe he could learn more and well, make sure his actions are not going to bring problems. What he was hearing again was affirming him that he cleansed more problems than caused and brought some order. Now he was to meet a priestess and their family...
