Description

Featuring Caliber

Actaeos's Shrine, Linx Territory
Late Autumn, 2000



Continuing his climb up the peak, Caliber's nerves were frayed. He had not been here very often as of the last couple of years - the search for the totems had been of a higher priority than even coming up here for quiet reflection.

Caliber took the last few steps to the shrine and bowed reverently as he laid out the sack full of his offerings.

"Actaeos, I know you're likely busy preparing yourself for whatever Astraek is planning to bring upon us, but I beg you for guidance." He said, keeping his voice quiet. "I found a totem, but ultimately didn't recover one of the stones. I was fairly disappointed, but it was certainly an experience that I don't regret. What I ask... Am I on the right track, with my plans to spend the winter outside of the territory on the lookout for whatever I can find? Or am I being foolhardy?" The bjorn sighed, feeling his breath fog in the cold. "I seem to be fretting far more nowadays, but it feels like so much more is at stake than it was when my parents brought me up here as a pup to teach me how to pray."
He paused, and then touched a paw with his snout, leaning deeper into the bow. "Actaeos, please take these offerings, and help guide our pack.. no, all of Anomalous, through this oncoming storm."

Shrine's Response:
The shrine is silent; minus the sounds of the cold wind that whips through Caliber's thick coat. Despite having your eyes on the shrine, in a brief moment (perhaps when you are forced to blink?), the items you placed at it's base have mysteriously vanished! In their place now sits...

  • Golden Leaf (Earth) - Quest Item #700
    • Oooo shiny!  Usually found during autumn, but you're a lucky soul to find this beauty of a leaf that shimmers like the sun, giving light upon the Woods to what it is today.  Gives a +2 boost to Earth Magic while others can be in awe.
  • Sand of the Bay (Earth) - Quest Item #701
    • This small leather pouch contains a handful of sand collected from Beryl Bay!  It doesn’t seem to have any special properties (unless you like chewing on sand to help you think) but perhaps someone might appreciate it…
  • Freshwater Fish (Water) - Quest Item #702
    • This fish lived contentedly in a river or lake somewhere... erh, until you found it, that is.  Highly nutritious, including this bad boy in a meal gets you a whopping +5 Strength Skill Points!
  • Worn Out Sack (Neutral)Quest Item #703
    • This waterlogged sack has seen better days.  It has a large hole at its bottom; clearly, anything of value shouldn’t be stored in this!
