Since I was recently promoted to "Public Relations Officer" in Ex Nihilo guild I thought I could use my new found diplomatic influence to try and bring a message of peace to our Kujix friends. There has obviously been some altercation in the past with these folks and it was high time to try and approach them and try to settle these differences between our two peoples so that we can move on and grow as an empire without fear of our brothers from across the pond stabbing us in the back...

With this in mind, I gathered up a couple of scribes and set them to work on a very important peace treaty that I, along with a few chosen people, would deliver.

With the scrolls all tightly bundled, our mounts freshly watered and our hopes high, we finally embarked on this most urgent mission. After arriving at the Ourobi portal we were dutifully informed that some mystical essence had corrupted our gateway and unfortunately we couldn't travel to all of the usual destinations. Consulting with my band of fellow diplomats (Anezaki and Izzy) we decided to travel to Hazzan Head and walk from there. Undeterred we found our bearings and set off south towards the Kujix capital and relished the thought of the fine meal and warm welcome we would get once we arrived.

After what seemed like hours of riding through this bleak landscape we finally arrived at the gates to the Kujix capital city of Xanjuix Karr and tried to, at least a little, dust ourselves off and make ourselves look presentable.


Entering the city we found that some of the guards must not have been informed of our arrival as obviously some sort of mix up had happened and they thought we were here to attack!

Obviously we were appalled at the very notion that we, on our mission of peace would be thought of as such common riff-raff. After this minor altercation with the guards we found ourselves in the centre of town looking for the official that was to greet us. After waiting a while it seemed he wasn't coming and our long ride may have been for naught! With sadness in our hearts we realized that the only option was for us to call by the bank, claim back our travel expenses and head back home.



After a brief chat with Lorax who was one of the bankers on duty it appeared as though our security credentials were not satisfactory and we were asked to leave by one of the sentinels! Can you believe it? Not only was our credentials refused and we were unable to access our bank accounts but we were practically accused of having unlawful intentions! Fear not, fellow adventurers. We were able to talk our way out of the situation since we were, after all, diplomats and as such we have had many hours of studies in the art of negotiation.

With our mission facing failure Anezaki mentioned that the Auction house was close by and she might be able to find some rare items to help with her negotiation techniques for a nice price. We all agreed that anything to help bring a message of peace to the Kujix would be worth seeking out no matter what the cost! With this thought in mind we left the rude bank attendant and headed to the auction house.

Unfortunately, due to some bad gingerbread sprogs that Izzy had eaten on the journey once we entered a certain "noise" was made from the vicinity of his armour and Auctioneer Gandej took offence. It took all of our combined negotiation skills to smooth over his ruffled feathers.


After a lengthy discussion Gandej was convinced that no offence was intended and he even complimented us on our diplomacy techniques.

After the second misunderstanding between our two peoples we concluded that we were getting nowhere fast and we might have better look at one of the smaller local towns rather than the bustling city and so we set off east in search of more friendly people to negotiate with.

A short ride later we discovered a sleepy looking town and managed to have a talk with the local Magus trainer. He was not very forthcoming in giving up any secrets as to the source of Kujix magic and refused to show us even the most basic spell even though we were very enthusiastic in trying to convince him he still refused.



With our mission in ruin our last thought was to at least try and salvage something so we asked a few of the locals for the directions to the Reaver trainer we had heard so much about. For those that don't know, Reavers are the same as Champions and there has always been a few friendly competitions between the two people as to which is better. We found a nice friendly chap named Salaphin who was more than happy to converse with us about the merits of being a Reaver vs Champions and we had a great time trying to convince him of the opposite.

[Scoffer]

In the end I think even Salaphin was leaning towards our way of thinking that Champions were better than Reavers, even though he wouldn't admit it out loud there was a few tell tale signs.




And there you have it mylords. My official report on our diplomatic mission to bring peace between the Ashar and the Kujix. As you will see, we conducted ourselves with the utmost decorum on this mission and it is my belief that the kujix are simply not ready for peace. They are a war like and violent people and no amount of treaties and offers of alliances are going to change that in the near future.

We will of course be willing to try again when you wish it of us.

Your Servent

Still think bankers should have at least dropped cash.

I mean, they're BANKERS.
