Saga of the Soul Dungeon

SSD 4.13A - Authority



11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Kings 19 – King James Bible

==Caden==

Some Adar come into the dungeon an just dropped a book into my altar.

The book, blazing with power to my mana sight fell into the bowl, triggering a prompt which I immediately opened.

Would you like to absorb:

Skill Book: Merchant Tongue (Northern Hemisphere: West)

Potential Skill Level: 10

Yes? No?

I didn’t hesitate for a moment after I read the title. I was finally going to learn how to talk to people properly.

Finally, I had an opportunity to learn the language. Who would have guessed that someone would just bring something that would teach it to me?

Honestly, if I had known I probably would have invested a lot of my attention elsewhere.

Oh well, not like I could do anything about it now.

The language washed over me in waves, each one drawing me deeper and deeper into a new world. A world of language and connections.

Time passed without notice, my whole world a torrent of knowledge.

Somewhere along the way I felt a brief instinctive acceptance and another language began to seep into my brain, the language of the Adar.

It was a language of secrets, the whole language built upon cyphers and changing context clues.

For a time, which I couldn’t measure, the whole world was lost to me.

Eventually I woke up, the insistent pinging of the system doing its best to play percussion in my head.

Congratulations!

You now have the skills:

Merchant Tongue (Northern Hemisphere: West) IX (Language)

Adar Cant IX (Language)

Congratulations, you have unlocked an accomplishment!
