Nomaris Adrienne Austin

Everything has a beginning; that freakish moment when one thing suddenly becomes something else, or in other cases, starts or stops entirely. We don't know why this happens, but it does. This was proving to be somewhat troublesome for Nomaris, whose populations relied on a general consistency from the planet and, Dragon Elder Obsessions notwithstanding, everyone else. The first hint that all was not well was a massive earthquake that threw almost everyone on the planet out of bed, except for Elder Gailyn, who woke to a shower of flower petals loosed by the shaking tree she was tethered to. Hiss, the natural gas that the entire planet relied upon, disappeared abruptly, and with it all the flames in the Valley of Eternal Flames, another big hint that something was amiss. Then the Oracle awoke after centuries of being confused for garden statuary. As one might imagine, It had something Important to relay."In the Beginning," the second story based on the planet Nomaris, is an adventurous quest laced with romance and lessons in the consequences of our choices.
