Write-up

Nazir Nation, raise a glass to our first true Knight Radiant! A blooming edgedancer who finally accepts the bond with the everwaiting cultivationspren, Syntheia. This is a week of bonds and promises. We will peer more into the past and see what those two years did for the bond of Nazir and Syntheia. As the bonds of one improve, we cannot let our other heroes fall behind. Will Luka grow closer with her newly discovered but elusive and traumatized honorspren? Will a dark cave be the right way to illuminate the path for Pako? Will the child bondsmith do his job and help lead the way to good bonds, or be bullied by the older folks in the group? Overall, the group has days to relax as their main quest location is now set at Sesemalex Dar: a west coast city within the Emul nation, underneath the banner of the Makabakam kingdom. Despite the generous amount of water that will be seen, the world itself plays on the opposite end, having the party travel during the Weeping. Is the proverbial calm before the highstorm a piece of fortune granted to give a breather to the heroes, or to prepare something fierce down the line that they must face? Only time can tell, but the dice will decide the rest, this week on Knights of Desolation!

Got lore ideas? Suggestions for names, flora, fauna, or new spren?
