Black Zenith [Adventure RPG / Chapter Four: Fires of Heaven]

"Ofcourse. I had to keep the enemy uncertain as to what i were doing. Even dreams are not safe. As for your questions, there are technically a total of eight shards, though in addition to the two you have recovered, another two are already in our possession. That leaves four scattered throughout the world." He reaches a hand down beside his waist, where an assortment of scrolls are protected in each their case. He selects one of these, unrolling it to reveal a map picturing the kingdom, which he hands to Thunderpaw. "One is hidden in a shrine on a tall mountain. As it is the most well-defended, it is also of the least importance. Another has, unfortunately, been claimed by one of our old enemies. Not the same entity which has caused all this, i believe he has an agenda of his own. Regardless, he moves around quite a bit. We lost spotted his flying fortress here." He points to a place on the map that seems to be mostly farmlands and smaller woods. "Another is located at a sort of forge, up in the highlands. That will be your last destination for a variety of reasons, but mostly because the thing that inhabits that place is particularly corrupted. The last shard, i do not know where is, to keep it safe in case i meet an untimely fate. Others will guide you to it. But we are in hurry - theres a good chance that the nearby town and everyone within it are in mortal danger. We must go!"
