Sanibonani! Umlingo at your service. Who has the pleasure of meeting the future 'King of Knaves'? Krystallia holds many secrets and with secrecy comes hidden treasure. No, I'm not talking about mere gold, but magical amulets, weapons which are attuned to the elements, and other items that have been previously seen as myth. Unfortunately, in the search of one particular lore, I find myself captive by a beautiful, but intimidating, noblewoman of the Sumerki Elves. How can I rid myself of an enchanted tower? Alas, I must shake the hands of a Teufel and become indebted to a devil!

Umlingo the Rogue Warlock

The city appears serene. Sun glistens on the stone. Merry folk walk about the streets. As I approach the guards of Jalokivi, I notice their distinct features. In addition to otherworldly tones, the folk have horns and tails. I refrain from tilting my head in confusion. Their vibrant colors strike my curiosity. The guard to the right is violet while the other has skin that shines blue. 'What are they?' my mind asks with wonder.


"Hello," I greet with a smile. "I'm a traveler and I seek refuge from the wilderness."


The two guards tilt their heads in unison. The blue one whispers to the other. After nodding his head, the purple turns his red eyes to mine.


I repeat his words without understanding their meaning. 'It's strange, they don't seem to speak common tongue.' I rub my head. With a sigh, I search for a means of communication. I drop my stick and prepare to make hand gestures.
