Sigil: The City of Doors

With Illiam'iira's assistance, Fyne is able to collect up some useful volumes on the nature of the demiplane of time.

"Don't have the potions or any of it anymore," he says, shaking his head. "They belonged to the dead. Don't know if they ended up in the mortuary with the murder victim or with the authorities."

Fyne looks to the Awoken monk. "Well, you all are interested in information. Allow me to explain my situation to see if it might provide some motivation for assistance. I ended up on the demiplane of time through a magical mishap. I remember being there for a couple days, meeting some strange being ...

"Smells like home," he says with a smirk at Illiam'iira. "Well, sort of. Underdark smells a bit different. But still relatively fresh in comparison to the smog. A lot of fireplaces and furnaces in such a small area."

"Not anymore. My history is not pleasant. But I changed after years of deprogramming. The cruelty that drow are taught from birth is unfathomable to most people. But I have seen how hope and love can turn people around, and been one of those. Never eliminates the guilt, but it gives something worthw...
