Most people don't notice anything. The seasons change and the crops are brought in. They are trying to build up their trades and are looking for a place to settle. It is not that they are slow minded...they just aren't focused on the changes in the world. They have "things to do": get the chickens rounded up, kill off the spiders, harvest meat for food, fangs for potions. Some people do feel a change. They whisper in the inns and in the narrow streets. Merchants and hunters start stocking up on traps and armor. At night the shadows seem to move and shift restlessly. Can you feel it? It is like the winds of the world are shifting. I think it is the undead. They are getting restless again. No. This goes deeper than that. Something is happening. I think it is time. So soon? Yes. Send the word. It is time for Ex Umbris to unite and get ready to face what is coming. So be it! The word is quickly spread across the continents. From the ruins of long dead cities to peaceful riverbanks, the call goes out: It is time for those of the Secret Society of Ex Umbris to make themselves known to the world! They go to their hidden places and pull their tabards, cloaks, and shields from where they have been stored throughout the generations. They are Adventurers, Diplomats, and Crafters, a secret community that has long hidden in the shadows. They have watched and guided society over the course of history. Ex Umbris has always felt that they must help to protect the world from the evils that threaten the lands. For the Ex Umbris community it goes beyond a sense of duty or morality. They do this because they must, because there is no other way they can be. Ex Umbris is a guild that works as a team, has fun, and is able to overcome any obstacles laid before it. |
