• Before my story begins I like to tell you where you’ll be for this trip. The world you are about to go into is old and mystical were people are still in touch with there spiritual power. In this land there is a set of people the Rogardins a group of people who live in the huge cities Iron Forge is this peoples capital with a strong central government but lately Iron Forge is falling on hard times the king has died and with no heirs the church is given the job of finding the next king but the pope can’t seem to find a suitable candidate so they have declared the church the ruling government until a suitable king is found with the church in charge tithes have become mandatory and there are rumors going around that the church has organized a secret police force to help keep there place on the throne but there is good news a school in Iron Forge is setting up an exploratory adventure to the uncharted east that was the back ground and here is your story.

    Two men were walking towards a stunning obsidian stadium laced with silver. “Kruger are you sure we should tell the public yet we don’t even have enough people to make up the crew.” “Exactly Shiro that’s why we need the public were not the only people who want to expand the empire, and who will enjoy every step of the way.” “I understand Kruger but what if the applicants aren’t ready?” “Ok tell you what Shiro I’ll put together a jury of some of the teachers back at the university you of course will be a part of it so we can root out the bad ones ok.” “But Kruger what if no one shows up.” “They’ll show up I’m putting a reward of 5 gold pieces that should attract anyone with half a brain.” “Kruger, where will we get the money to do that?” “The priest over at the diamond in the rough cathedral said that the clergy will cover all expense plus they will pay us 10 gold pieces for every foreigner we send them to convert 10 gold pieces for every monk we take, plus forty gold pieces for every church we build on our way.” “Where would the church get that sort of money?” “Don’t worry about it see here we are.” The two men came to an entrance near the back of the stadium. A big Minotaur with red fur offset by snow-white streaks called the two over. “Hey there, you two are late the crowd is growing restless go up now!” the duo ran up the stairs to a platform high above an anxious audience who have heard the rumors and wanted to know the truth about what was called the far roots project. Once Kruger was at the platforms podium, a man on a platform near by who had the task of stalling the crowd raised his voice. “Fair people of “Iron Forge” I give you Kruger grand dean of “dowsing steel” university who has a big announcement!” the crowd grew deathly silent Kruger cleared his throat. “The gods have smiled upon us today for today we announce that we are going to gather some of the best minds that are city have to offer!” “For we will finally take a huge leap in history we are finally going past the wall and into the mysterious east” Kruger waited for the crowd to soak in what he said then continued. “Now we can not do this alone we have been sponsored for are trip thanks to pope Demascus, but we still need you. The citizens help we still need over five hundred explorers to volunteer!” a great roar came over the crowd. “I know what some of you are thinking why you would want to journey east just to draw some lines on paper but this is something more then a field trip. This is our pride, this is glory, this is a new arm of the Rogardien Empire and it’s ready to grab hold of the east and spread its greatness over the land!” Another cheer came from the crowd “and all you who say this is not important are heretics of the state and I personally condemn anyone who speak ill of what this achievement will bring” the crowd was silent. “Now if anyone wants to laugh, mock, or ridicule this great deed leave now. All that are ready to take up the flag and bring your empire never ending fortune go to the goblins in the street and take a piece of reading material. I thank you all for your time good day and good luck!” the two men descended the staircase with blazing speed knowing that they have just released a great danger into the street, a patriotic mob.
