Who: @sakkarathekeeper Where: Sakkara's Island in Trivia's Cove When: Several days after her quest through the Arches

Plans, as thin and insufficient as they were in their early state, were being laid to handle what needed to be done about the archfey that lay in wait for Freydis’ dying day. Tove had been clear when it came to Nintra; there was nothing to be done about her except to ensure that the fey was the first to die. There was nothing more Freydis could do at the present moment except assemble the allies who would matter most in this task and comb through ancient tomes to learn how to slay the archfey, let alone how to lure her into the material plane. But this was not the only instruction Tove had left Freydis with. Tove had imparted upon Freydis her belief that it was her destiny to return to the dead arches she had wandered in her dreams–and that it seemed these dead arches were somehow critical to the plight against the Dark One. 

Not days before, Freydis had met the odd druidic woman, Sakkara, who had spoken as if the stars had delivered a message or prophesied something having to do with her, with her purpose. Freydis hadn’t understood it then, and it barely made more sense to her now, but she knew her next step needed to be to beg for an audience with the Keeper in her home in Trivia’s Cove. Her initial contact with Alessia, Torsten, and Eivor had been eased by a sudden burst of adrenaline and duty, but as she prepared to seek out the guidance of Sakkara the overwhelm of the residual grief, fear, and loss from her trials in the Arches had a vice grip on her heart. She had thought that perhaps when she awoke she was made of stronger stuff than mere humans were made of, but she knew this couldn’t be true when her emotions still managed to take the helm and drag her down when she knew there was little time to waste.

Even so, she found herself on the shoreline of Trivia’s Cove, where Sakkara had promised Freydis could find her. She could feel her heartbeat in her throat as she looked at the sight of the island, first the lavish canvas tent made up of colorful textiles, the inside of it obscured by the midday shadows. The island seemed desolate yet ready to provide all one would need at the very same moment. And then, she saw the arch. It stirred in Freydis the echoes of her family’s screams as the Aetherons invaded, the fear that froze the blood in her veins at the sight of Kalf’s murderous gaze, and the sight of Tove slowly dissipating and fading away. The grief washed over her with the strength of an ocean riptide as the tide washed over her ankles. The arch was beautiful, quiet, and serene, still as a stone but so capable of having an impactful presence. Freydis could feel her pulse quicken as all the dead arch somewhere in Iskaldrik had shown her began to echo in her mind, the depths of her loss becoming unbearable anew and the weight of the mystery of what had been granted to her in exchange so heavy she felt like she could barely breathe.

13th January 2023. Step pyramid of King Djoser at Sakkara, Egypt. The first pyramid of the Egyptian civilization. An absolute beautiful and larger than life experience , when I got to enter it and check out the tomb from inside and also the hieroglyphics etched in the walls some 4000+ years ago. Imhotep was the first architect to build this pyramid for King Djoser. . . . #egypt #dramainthesky #sakkara #firstpyramid #steppyramid #djoser #oneplusphotography #oneplus6t (at Step Pyramid of Djoser (Sakkara) هرم زوسر المدرج بسقارة) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVEQdQyFNr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[alrikhart]

@sakkarathekeeper location: somewhere in the Lysaran wilds, looking at druid stuff notes: oh no his shirt's off

At another stop along the tour, Alrik knelt on a rocky outcrop that overlooked a settlement of old ruins and faded guiding stones. They hummed still with a faint life but existed far enough on the fringes of Lysara that, according to Fharzai, could no longer be used to access the Mist.

It had been some days since he'd dreamt and undergone Beowulf's trials, but the markings remained, his meteor hammer had changed, and Alrik was resolved to settle into his thoughts about all that he had seen. This path he walked was treacherous, but Fharzai had told him they were bound together by fate. This road through these stones, it had brought him before a trial already, Alrik intended to continue down this path and see where it brought him.

When thinking became too difficult to do, Alrik took to stacking, carving, or some excessively brutal form of training. At present, as he sat upon the outcrop, he'd taken the first as he stacked some of the useless stones that sat there and slowly built them into a cairn. Valr joined him, choosing to land nearby in a rare approach to ground level. Their love was a distant one, always watching, always present, and always ready. Both preferred it that way.

Crouched low, chest and feet bare, a brush of cold washed by, enough to raise the hair on the back of his neck as he looked toward the approach of a stranger. She carried a staff and held a distant but serious look in her eyes, above there circled a- a large, cold-looking bird of some kind. Alrik returned to his stones and kept his back to her.

[engineerzuleima]

who? @sakkarathekeeper where? trivia’s cove when? during the  road so far

Zuleima touches down on Trivia’s Cove on Cloudy’s back, humming distractingly as she pats the wyvern’s snout affectionately before dismounting. Working through the different flaps on Cloudy’s mouth, she frees the bag she had secured back in Eterna and nods a goodbye to the wyvern before turning and heading deeper into the woods, her humming turning progressively louder as she approaches Sakkara’s above. Sneaking on the Dúnedain is amusing enough, but she has learned to only do so at odd intervals, or the famous Sakkara of the Serpents would begin to expect the attempts. 

That would be far too boring.

So humming to make herself known when she didn’t feel like sneaking on the other it was. 

Making it to the Keeper’s humble abode, Zuleima rattled her knuckles against the frame just hard enough to be heard but hard enough to bring the structure down. Though, with the rackety feel of the entire abode sometimes she wondered how long it would last. 

“Do we need to do the dance of you pretending not to be home, scales?” She muses out loud, head tilted as she listens for the Dúnedain’s heartbeat. “I can hear you.”

[incubusnero]

Person: @sakkarathekeeper Location: Pick wherever Sakkara would meditate He gets the idea of meditation, it's not he's against it. A lot of his free time is spent daydreaming so sitting on a rug cross legged next to a druid he's growing particularly fond of should not have been something difficult. It's all something that's supposed to promote focus and clarity, that whole song and dance. Instead he sits there feeling like an ass worrying about all of these new developments. Worst, Nero keeps thinking about the past, comparing memories to a potential future. It's not a completely uncommon occurence, he thinks he has 'mourning periods' between his little crushes. For some reason this one seems particularly sticky and so when he lets out a huff of breath he cracks an eye open and offers the druid an apologetic look. "I don't think I'm particularly good at this."

Gala Dinner Experience

Indulge in a Gala Dinner Experience with Savvy Travelers, savoring exquisite cuisine and entertainment!

[nobrashfestivity]

Four ceremonial amber amulets: egg shape with perforation; bear with eyes, mouth, tail and hind legs omitted; tablet-shaped pendant, corner with perforation; horse or elk head, eye and mouth not indicated, perforation at base of neck.

The bear comes from a bog in Resen, Viborg, Jutland, Denmark; the elk's head from Egemarke, Holbaej, West Zealand, Denmark. They are dated by fine incised and drilled bit ornament. There are indications that the patterns were incised with different points, at different times, and that the pits were made by rotating a bow-drill.

Copenhagen: Mus., Nationalmuseet.

Probably from an unrecorded mastaba in the Old Kingdom cemetery, Sakkara,.between 9000-5000 BC

[sakkarathekeeper]

Date: Post the DnD session and the plot drop - a cryophoenix was rescued and a mage attacked on Lysaran soil in the feywilds, but also the Neptunalia festival is on the horizon Location: Eterna, Lysara Characters: @morijah-the-right & @sakkarathekeeper Notes: uwu

The owl perched on a branch nearby before flying to the ground. From there, the owl became a woman who smiled and inclined her head respectfully to the General. "My Lady General," Sakkara greeted her friend. A long time, the Keeper had entrusted General Morijah with much information about the druids of their Queendom and even volunteered to teach those in her army when necessary. Nowadays, Sakkara contented herself with showing up at random moments and regaling Morijah on information that she might appreciate for the safety of their kingdom. Or gossip. Sakkara didn't engage in petty gossip with just anyone, but she thoroughly enjoyed speaking with someone who always seemed interested in what she had to say. Someone who wasn't a druid for once. Someone who was friendly, older, wiser company.

"You look exceedingly imposing today." Sakkara could probably guess that it was the Aetherian mages that had taken over Iskaldrik the past few weeks, and perhaps that one was now found in Lysara. National security was at an all-time risk these days. But, then again, Mor also always looked so very imposing.

[mercenary-of-sakkara]

"Seth, Gott der Wüste und des Chaos. Verursacher von Katastrophen, Gott des tosenden, unheimlichen Meeres. Gehasst von jenen, denen du Unrecht antatest, geliebt von denen, die in deinem Chaos aufgehen und es weiter verbreiten. Erhöre mich. Du bist mein Namensgeber und haftest mir an, wo ich gehe und stehe. Du leitest mich seit dem Tage meiner Geburt. Du sprichst durch mich mit Taten, die ich mir nicht auszudenken vermag. Du ließest mich stehlen, du ließest mich foltern, du ließest mich töten. Durch dich leide und liebe ich. Du gabst mir eine Aufgabe, deren Ausgang das Ende der Welt bestimmt, wenngleich ich nichts von ihr wusste. Erlöse mich. Befreie mich von deinem Einfluss, auf dass mein Leben endlich frei von Sorge um die Zukunft und ohne leidbringendes Chaos sein kann."

S E T H O S ⸺ ägyptischer Söldner um 444 v.Chr.; wird seit jeher von einem Schakal begleitet und versucht seiner Vergangenheit zu entkommen, die ihn zu verfolgen scheint; verbreitet vom Tag seiner Geburt an unwissentlich Chaos und steht unter dem Schutz des Gottes Seth, der Größeres mit ihm vor hat

Unbarmherzig brannte die gleißende Sonne vom Himmel und ließ die Luft am von Dünen und Wüstensand bedeckten Horizont Ägyptens flimmern. Sethos zog dennoch das Tuch um seinen Hals etwas höher, als der Wind ihm die einzelnen Sandkörner wie Nadelstiche ins Gesicht trieb. Derweil brachte ihn der schaukelnde Gang seines Kamels weiter durch die Wüste, die er einst schon einmal durchquert hatte. Damals jedoch zu Fuß, völlig ausgehungert und am Rande des Wahns aufgrund der Hitze. Damals hatte er geglaubt, er würde in der sengenden Sonne sterben, was ja auch der ursprüngliche Gedanke seiner Verbannung gewesen war, die ihn dorthin getrieben hatte. Doch Seth, der Herrscher über die Wüste, hatte andere Pläne mit ihm gehabt. Und die beinhalteten dass er seine Chaos bringenden Schandtaten fortsetzen sollte. Was er damals getan hatte war bis heute unverzeihlich. Doch mit dem Machtwechsel in Ägypten schienen das Königshaus und die Bürger des Landes andere Sorgen zu haben, zumal er sich seit damals auch äußerlich verändert hatte. Die damals kurzgeschorenen Haare waren inzwischen wesentlich länger, das glattrasierte Gesicht wurde nun von einem Bart geziert. Die Kreise, in denen er sich jetzt aufhielt waren andere, auch wenn er es vorzog seiner neuen Berufung alleine nachzugehen. Die Perser, die jetzt über sein Geburtsland regierten waren ihm egal, solange sie ihm bei seinen Geschäften nicht im Weg standen. Oftmals erhielt er sogar Aufträge durch eben jene. Hätte auch nur irgendjemand gewusst, wer der Söldner aus Sakkara wirklich gewesen war, hätte man wohl glauben können, er sollte die Perser verachten, ihnen den Tod oder noch Schlimmeres wünschen. Doch Sethos hatte sein Land bereits einmal verraten, sodass es für ihn keinen Unterschied mehr machte. "Scheint so, als hätten wir es geschafft." sagte er schließlich an seinen stummen Begleiter gewandt, als sie eine Sanddüne überquert hatten und auf die Fayum-Oase blickten, die sich um einen riesigen See erstreckte. Von hier aus konnte man bis zur anderen Seite des Sees und somit zu der Stadt Krokodilopolis blicken. Der Ort, wo sich sein derzeitiges Ziel befand. Der Schakal, den er angesprochen hatte und der ihn bereits begleitete, seitdem er das erste Mal diese Wüste durchschritten hatte, spitzte die Ohren und blickte mit klugen braunen Augen zu ihm auf. Schon oft hatte sich Sethos gedacht, dass etwas Göttliches in dem Tier ruhen musste, das ihm einst das Leben gerettet hatte. Er schuldete dem Tier etwas, das er nach dem Totengott der Ägypter benannt hatte: Anubis. "Bringen wir es zu Ende." murmelte er dann und trieb sein Kamel an.
