An Enchanted Hall of Remembrance
You sense a magical aura in this well lit room. The walls are built of light
blue ivory that hold strange engraved runes that glow in and out in such
rhythm that the room appears as if breathing. Large ivory pillars raise the
ceiling in a high arch with one solitary candle suspended from it. As you
pace the room, this single candle follows you from above serving as your
light. The candles along the wall flicker golden, then green, blue, and gold
again. The candles give excellent lighting to a large enchanted mural that
seems to cover the entire northern wall.

[Exits: west up down]
The Plaque of Heroes rests at the base of the mural.
A large enchanted mural is hung on the northern wall.
Ceridwel is here.
A citizen of Timaran goes about his business here.
Noliperus the Avian Hero is here, waiting to sell his wares to the worthy.

Ceridwel says 'Greetings, Noliperus.'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'Lord Ceridwel, it is always a pleasure to see you'

Ceridwel says 'You may change your mind on that once we have this discussion, old friend.'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero frowns.

Ceridwel says 'I trust you have heard of Thorgoth's surfacing into the mortal realm and his rampage across Serin?'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'That I have, Lord'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'Troubling times indeed'

Ceridwel says 'Indeed they are.'

Ceridwel says 'He has already descended upon Castle Valor and made his intentions known.'

Ceridwel says 'And without a stable leader, either mortal or divine, I fear the Knights will be easily destroyed.'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'I have noticed the void in the Knights myself as well, actually.'

The city clock tolls twelve times, indicating midnight has arrived.

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'If Valour falls, the balance of Serin will be forever swayed to the forces of Evil.'

Ceridwel sighs.

Ceridwel nods.

Ceridwel stares at the sky.

Ceridwel says 'I fear the same.'

Ceridwel says 'As the Avatar of the Sun, I do not know that I can stand by much longer and take no action to protect the Light and all that is good in Serin from his rampage.'

Ceridwel says 'However I do not wish to leave the Mystics leaderless unless I have no other choice.'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero nods.

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'I understand your predicament'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'May I say, Sir, that in my opinion the Mystics will be fine even leaderless if necessary..compared to the chaos that would ensue should the Knights and Valour not be properly led'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'In time, one will emerge to guide us with their wisdom, and until then we will continue with the path you have shown us'

Ceridwel says 'That is good of you to say, old friend.'

Ceridwel says 'I wish that this will not be necessary, but I am fearing the worst.'

Ceridwel sits down and thinks deeply.

Ceridwel says 'Thank you for your council, Noliperus. Your wisdom knows no bounds.'

Noliperus, the Avian Hero bows deeply.

Noliperus, the Avian Hero says 'Thank you, Sir'

Ceridwel disappears in a flash of Holy Light.
