			== Prologue ==
			Unlike so many cities scoured by The Great Awakening, Solace was imbued by a surplus of resources, skills, and survivors. Out of the ashes of the cataclysm, was born an efficiently designed city, with public utilities, a parliamentary governance structure, and minimal poverty, a true rarity in these times.
			As if to accentuate Solace’s singular nature, the city’s roadways were built entirely of limestone, giving everything a faint white glow. Resting atop a newly forged cliffside overlooking the Kraken’s Ocean, the largest city in the world is home to nearly a million residents. A veritable melting pot of cultures, languages, and mixed races, Solace is well-known for its modern city feel, tall buildings, expansive universities, and most notably, a floating disc of land that hovers 3000 feet in the air above the city, where temples to every deity known reside.
			Dawn approaches on Elitia Kisaturna (Fourth Sunday of the Sixth Month, 6/28), and you have all completed your vigils. Only one candidate dropped out during the final night bring the total number of deserters up to a dozen. 29 of you remain. Feeling exhausted and sleep deprived, a young, beautiful human woman you recognize from the start of this vigil silently walks by each of you, touching you on the shoulder and beckoning you to follow. As it was for the previous 5 days of your vigil, everyone remains silent, but there is a tension in the air, a thick, invisible fog. It is as if you are not sure if you could make a noise even if you tried.
			Your escort leads you into a towering, stone structure covered in vines and moss, capped by a turquoise dome it must reach at least a hundred feet into the air and spans a few hundred across. Following your escort, you walk down long hallways bedecked with bas-reliefs, extravagant paintings, and magically lit display cases for curios and trinkets you have barely an inkling about. You are led to a large room with a strangely convex and rough floor, the door on the far side of this 75 foot wide oddly shaped room is ornately decorated with what appears to be some ancient text inscribed over top. Those of you who know the Dwarven alphabet can read it, but the words themselves not Dwarven. Your escort walks to the far door of this strangely large antechamber, and swiftly about-faces, and as her long hair and flowing robes fan out from the spin and settle back down, an unmistakably different person, an aged, but not old, Elvish man, appears to be appraising the group.
			The old man stands stoic and hale. You can see the thousands of years of age in the lines around his mouth as he begins to speak.
			''In the year 5412 BCE, Forseti and Heironeous founded the Magistrate’s Office in this, the great city of Solace, with the sole mission of bringing light to truth, and truth to light, to carry out justice where it was needed, to bring order to a chaotic world.
