The Forty-second Session began with the party split. Panamon Cree and Rayjok Halperion were winding up their trip to the trading port of Jetkizuu while Mira Nephilim and Obsidian Black continued their journey into the deeper understanding of their collection of the Memes of Aspan.

The Jalinjeri Leadership Council

After teleporting to the Citadel thanks to Togzhan Kuat, the Jalinjeri ministers meet. Hedgewind appeared at the meeting, clearly weakened and being helped by a beautiful red-haired woman that the party suspects to be the heir to the Ortalyk throne. Rayjok explained the opportunity he had created to demand a full Garis surrender, the repatriation of all Garis occupied territory, inspectors to monitor their research programs, and other such things required by a defeated nation.

Hedgewind abstained from the voting and lost interest in the conversation altogether. The rest of the council agreed to meet with the Garis Inspector General, assuming that she would show up, to make their demands, presumably in exchange for the 80k+ war prisoners held in Jalinbeti Prefecture territory.

Fetching the Memes

Meanwhile, Mira and Obsidian, escorted by Asil made use of one of Obsidian's 'accurate' teleportation spells and made their way to the party's ship. Captain Bubbles was happy to receive the news that she would not have to sail through Garis-infested waters and could return quickly to Diamond City (which has some Garis, but not the bloodthirsty kind)... and resume her apparently prosperous sub-trade of gambling with Dweorges.

Obsidian fetched the memes from their hiding place and instructed Captain Bubbles to return them there if they were to teleport away without them. Asil's teleport spell took the pair (and all the memes) to a teleportation circle, atop a wizard tower, a short distance away from the city's golden citadel. Asil invited Obsidian and Mira to a brief tour of the city before they would meet the Eldest of Aydahar and discuss what to do with their combined memes.

Everything Amiss in Otan

A continually updated list of anything and everything that is possibly not good in Otan.

1. Jalinjeri Issues
   1. Hedgewind Jalinbeti is the Garis' enemy #1.
   2. Hedgewind Jalinbeti seems to be in very poor health, possibly from over-use of the Death Machine.
   3. The Council of Nine might very well be interested in the destruction of Hedgewind and the entire country.
   4. The Garis might very well be interested in the destruction of Hedgewind and the entire country.
   5. The Tsar of Ortalyk (if he lives) might very well be interested in the destruction of Hedgewind and the entire country.
   6. The entire country is overrun with refugees and may run into massive food shortages with winter coming.
   7. Halperion Prefecture has a LOT of dragons in a small space.
   8. None of the Jalinjeri prefectures have seasoned governments and may not be up to the task of managing the country's everyday problems... let alone the exceptional problems.
   9. There are few trees for building and the nearby Balagash forest was burned down.
2. Garis Issues
   1. There is an ongoing shooting war. The Garis, though greatly diminished in troop size, have a strong navy and air force able to dominate most of the rest of Otan.
   2. The Garis occupy Ortalyk. The Tsar of Ortalyk is missing and presumed dead. The heir apparent to the Tsar is missing and presumed dead.
   3. The Garis occupy the eastern country of Sigis. The Emperor of Sigis is missing and presumed dead.
   4. The Garis navy sunk the Araldar navy. The Grand Admiral of Araldar is missing and presumed dead.
   5. The Garis occupy most of the Aydahar Confederation and currently encircle its capital region, which could fall at any day.
   6. The Garis occupy most of the Caliphate of Ontustik and currently encircle its capital region, which could fall at any day.
3. Ælfgarad Issues
   1. The warrior elites of the Ælfgarad navy took advantage of the sinking of the Araldar fleet and currently occupy the capital port of Jagalik and various other Araldar ports, who were helpless to defend themselves.
4. Aydahar Issues
   1. The Aydahar Confederation is occupied by Garis forces and the one remaining province is under siege.
   2. Obsidian Black and the Eldest of Aydahar appear to have awoken a great number of dead dragons.
5. Sewochi Issues
   1. There are green 4-armed creatures who seem to float upon Otani shores and kill everything from turtles to whales to sailing ships.
   2. There is a portal near the Towers of Eriquat where there are more varieties of the 4-armed creatures, many of whom are very powerful. Can they come back through the portal in great numbers? Will they?
   3. The 4-armed creatures are not communicative and seem to want to simply kill any living (Otani) thing they encounter.
   4. The green 4-armed creatures dropped golden stones that enable deep-sea navigation, explaining how they got to Otan.
   5. The lava-loving 4-armed creatures dropped blue stones that yell at Panamon's brain.
   6. The lava-loving 4-armed creatures have a Fire Qurilissi held hostage.
   7. Dragons, which seemed to have an easy time of killing the green 4-armed creatures, have been mostly murdered by the Garis and no longer clean the creatures off the southern coast.
6. Council of Nine
   1. The Council of Nine, who caused and then brokered the peace between the humans and non-humans favored the actions of the Garis in their bid to take over the entire Otani continent.
   2. The Council of Nine seems to be in league with at least one of the 4-armed creatures.
   3. The Council of Nine seems to be in league with at least one never-before-seen creature.
7. Otani Issues
   1. Death doesn't seem to work properly for everybody. Re: Death Machine, Obsidian's afterlife, rising undead.
   2. The price of diamonds (for resurrection/reincarnation) has risen 100 fold and might be hard to find at that price.
   3. Every five days, clerics and warlocks lose their power and are unable to create magic for a day.
   4. Mira Nephilim has learned that the reunification of the four remaining Qurilissi (builders) might be important. She has learned that there are only four in all of Otan and that there were once many many more.
8. Other Issues
   1. There's stuff going on that you don't even know about, and it's really serious!
