The Twenty-eighth Session began in the port city of Jagalik, might capitol of the nation of Araladar. The party having commissioned a ship from what might be the greatest shipbuilding facility in Otan had the construction underway. The party, meanwhile had taken it upon themselves to study up for new proficiencies to prepare themselves for the battles ahead and of course, life at sea.
Each in turn studied for the six weeks they had to wait for their new ship to be ready to launch. The party began their studies with the promising news that echoed through the town; that the Araldar navy had defeated the Garis navy on their first encounter and sent the enemy to the bottom without much fuss at all.
Bubbles Littlefoot
Bubbles took up the study of navigation, a skill vital to the operation of a vessel at sea. A quick study, her mastery of navigation was almost intuitional for her. She meanwhile crafted a container for her Sunstone which would assist her in guiding the party into and more importantly, back out of deep water. This new new navigation skill paired up with her advanced navigational abilities conferred by the Sunstone perhaps make her the most capable navigator on all of Otan.
Obsidian Black
Obsidian had dual goals in mind. One was to learn more about the two Memes of Aspan still in his possession, the meme On the Ascent to Heaven and the meme On the Descent to the Nether World. While studying these with the help of Mira Nephilim, he was also determined to learn as much of the Old Otani language as possible. It was no surprise to anyone that the language came easy to him and by the end of the down time, he was able to read from the memes without assistance.
What did not come easy to Obsidian, was understanding the intent of the gods with these memes. The Aspanists have a different view on the afterlife than the Wodenists. They believe that the afterlife, for bad people in particular, is an eternity of torment and punishment, while the latter believe the afterlife in Helheim to be an eternity of boredom. Which eternity is worse is debatable, however both memes, one presumably dedicated to those who lead a good life and one to the bad, describe the preservation of the soul as being of the highest importance for anyone possessing such a thing.
