Staring at the ground as he plodded along the trail Jex grumbled
to
himself that he should have bought that magic hat from that
dealer in
palanthas.  The man had said it could keep you dry even in the
worst storm
but the sky had been blue, the sun bright and warm and Jex'
beltpouch was
light so he had declined.  Now, only a few hours later, the wind
was howling
and driving the rain horizontal and into his eyes.  Lightning lit
the sky,
thunder boomed in his ears and he thought briefly about going
back to
Palanthas and buying that silly little hat after all.  

As he crested a small hill he heard something a little ways ahead
and as he
wiped away the rain and shielded his eyes so he could see he saw
something
completely unexpected.  The trail broke out of the bushes and
onto a road
about 15 feet ahead and on the road was the most garishly
coloured wagon in
all of Krynn.  Jex knew it instantly and a broad smile broke out
across his
face.  With a hoot and a yell he ran forward.  "Cousin Brim ! 
Hey !  Am I
ever glad to see you again !  " As he reached the road he saw
that Brim was
not in the driver's seat of the wagon however but instead stood
on the road
in front of it beside his mule.  He had his hoopak in hand and
was whirling
the sling about, ready to whip a claypot into the face of one of
the Goblins
which had surrounded his wagon.  Jex didn't hesitate but ran up
behind one
of the vile creatures and struck it in the back of the head with
his mace he
went by.  It crumpled in a heap and in a moment Jex stood back to
back with
his famous cousin.  

"Jex !  Good to see you again.  What brings you here ?  As
usual, your
timing is pretty good.  How's your family doing ?  I haven't been
to Hylo in
years.  Can I give you a lift somewhere maybe ?  This weather
isn't fit for
dog or Kender.  "

With that he let fly his weapon and the small missile smacked a
Goblin
square between the eyes before he could dodge it.  The creature
howled in
pain as it's nose broke and sprayed blood and it dropped back,
trying to
staunch the crimson flow with it's rain soaked cloak.  

"Good shot cousin !  Mom and dad are good last I saw them. 
I've been away
from Hylo for a while now, wandering around and checking things
out.  You
know, seeing the world.  Stories are all fine and good but
nothing beats
first hand information.  And yes, I sure could use a ride, I'm
getting
soaked to the bone walking through the forest.  So, how's your
side of the
clan doing ?  Your sister still single ?  " Jex replied as he
swung his mace
at the knee of another Goblin and heard the satisfying crack of
breaking
bones.  It fell to the ground and rolled around in agony.  The
other Goblins
became more wary now and feinted repeatedly with their short
swords, probing
for a weakness in the defences of their two small enemies.  

"Nah, she finaly got married, had a few kids.  Sorry to
disappoint you there
Jex.  You should have gone for her when you had the chance.  She
had a thing
for you for a long time you know.  "

Jex looked sharply at Brim.  "What ?!  No, I didn't know. 
Dammit !  Why do
I always find these things out after the fact ?  That makes me
grumpy.  " he
said and in a fit of anger he dove forward at a Goblin, brought
his flanged
mace down onto it's skull and as it collapsed in a silent heap he
swung his
weapon around in a vicious arc and sheared the jaw off another. 
Brim looked
at his cousin in shock at the agression but kepts his wits about
him and
slammed his hoopak up into the groin of another Goblin while it
was
distracted by the whirling battlemace.  

The last few Goblins saw that they were on the losing side of
this
engagement and decided that discretion was the better part of
banditry. 
They turned their backs and fled as fast as their hobnailed boots
would
allow and in a moment the two Kender stood alone in the rain, Jex
panting in
anger and Brim watching his fuming cousin carefully.

"Jex, uhm, I don't mean to preach but you should probably do
something
about that temper.  You always did have a short fuse but it does
seem to
have become even shorter since we last met.  "

With visible effort Jex reined in his anger.  "I know, it's
always been a
problem, but it serves me well in battle and keeps me warm on the
long cold
road.  ", he said.  Kicking the jaw of the Goblin into the
ditch he turned
toward Brim.  "C'mon let's get into the wagon.  I'm so wet I
think I'm going
to dissolve.  I have a cool map I think you'll like.  " Brim's
eyes
brightened up at the mention of a new map and he led Jex to the
back of the
wagon where he dropped the small ladder.  They clambered inside
and as Jex
entered he found himself in the most astonishing place.  Even
though he had
been in the wagon many times it never ceased to amaze him.  On
the outside
it looked like any other small wagon, except for the plethora of
colours,
some of which had yet to be named by most sentient species.  On
the inside
however it was anything but ordinary.  A vast chamber opened
before him at
least a hundred feet long, fifty feet wide and with a fifty foot
ceiling. 
Hung with silks and tapestries, the floor strewn with wonderfully
coloured
and patterned carpets, it was a space fit for a Sultan.  Sunlight
filtered
in through windows fitted with stained glass, casting a
kaleidescope of
colour everywhere, and cats prowled or lounged about enjoying the
warmth
which emenated from a large open central hearth.  Sleeping
comfortably near
a table, on a pile of deep and plush cushions, lay Brim's
faithful old
campanion Massy the mule.  

"Ah, there's Massy !  " Jex exclaimed and at the mention of
his name the
creature looked up at him and nodded a greeting before returning
to his well
earned slumber.  "I didn't see him out front and was sorta
worried for a
moment.  You've retired him I guess ?  "

Brim nodded.  "Yes, Old Massy was just getting too old for
pulling around
the wagon any more.  I couldn't just let him go though, you know
?  I got
Found to do the job, and he does it very well, and now Massy
stays here.  I
have a small pasture out back where it's always sunny and bright
and the
grass is tall and tasty.  He can wander there if he wants but
generaly he
likes to stay in here and rest his old bones.  ".  Brim sat
beside Massy and
scratched him between the ears.  The ancient mule responded with
a contented
sigh and stretched his legs a bit, then fell into a deep slumber.
 

Jex sat down and rumaged through his backpack and in a moment
pulled out an
old worm scroll tube.  He handed it over to Brim and said, "I
made a copy,
that's the original.  Keep it for your library.  "

Brim nodded, opened the tube and pulled out the parchment. 
Unfurling it he
whistled in appreciation.  "Holy !  This is Pre-Cataclysm. 
Where'd you find
it cousin Jex ?  It must be worth a small fortune.  "

"It was in an old horde I found when after my company got
ambushed at an
ancient keep.  I was having lunch when I saw a hidden door.  I
opened it,
but the trap almost killed me.  " He ran a finger along the
scar which ran
down his cheeck.  "Almost...  But not quite.  When I woke up a
week later
they told me about it, but we had moved on and I never did get to
see it in
situ.  I saw part of it in the accountant's offices.  It was
huge.  The
whole thing together must have dazzling.  The gave me this mace
and let me
pick a few other baubles for a reward and when I saw that map I
thought
immediately of you.  The horde was ancient so I knew the scroll
must be too.
Do you recognise the place at all ?  "

Brim shook his head.  "Not really, although something seems
vaguely
familliar about it.  It's a city map, but of what city I can't
say.  If it's
Pre-Cataclysm then I'd wager the city is either gone or ruined. 
I doubt it
looks like this anymore.  If we could find it though I bet this
map would
still be a good guide.  We should try to dig up some information
on it.  Are
you busy at the moment ?  " he asked.

Jex shook his head this time.  "Not currently.  I'm on leave
for a bit,
just wondering around and exploring.  I'm up for a bit of
adventure if you
want a comapnion with some anger management issues.  ".  Jex
grinned
mischeviously.  

Brim smiled and said, "It's settled then.  Rest for a bit, dry
off and
change you clothes.  Hang the old ones out back in the pasture,
they'll dry
nicely in the sun and smell nice and clean later.  When we're
ready we'll go
to Palanthas.  I have an appointment at the library with Master
Astinus so
I'll pump him for info about this map at the same time.  I'm
lucky he likes
me.  I don't know why but he doesn't normaly allow Kender in his
library. 
"

Jex did as his cousin told him and he loitered a bit in the
pasture.  The
sun was warm as Brim had promised and the slight breeze carried
the scents
of spring, rosemary and lavender and other aromatics, so that
when he
returned to the main chamber he felt completely reinvigorated.  

They gossiped a while about the old country, about friends and
family long
unheard from, and polished off a bottle of '32 Ergothian red wine
(a vintage
that now existed solely in Brim's magicly warded wine celler)
while they
reminisced.  Eventually Brim got up and went outside briefly. 
When he
returned he had Found in towe.  The young mule looked relieved to
be inside
and out of the rain.  Brim led him through the chamber and into
the pasture
out back and in a moment returned.  "I couldn't stand to leave
him alone out
there all night.  He never complains, I think he even likes the
rain, but I
know he likes the pasture more.  Can't say as I blame him either
!  " he
said with a chuckle.  Jex nodded in agreement.  Brim sat down and
told his
younger cousin to sleep.  Palanthas wasn't far and they would
rest the night
here.  In the morn the sky would be clear and they would hit the
Lord's City
and it's huge Library early.  With luck they could be off in
search of the
city depicted on the ancient map before noon.  Jex yawned and
nodded and was
asleep before his head hit the pillow.  

The morning arrived and as Brim had promised the storm had broken
and with
Found hooked up they made good progress to Palanthas.  In an hour
they were
at the gate and a short ride later the Library.  As they drove
through the
city people stared at Brim's wagon in awe.  Many of the colours
on it had
never been seen in that city.  Children ran beside and behind it,
laughing
gleefully at the gaudily painted craft, and Brim waved to them
and laughed
back mirthfully.  

When they arrived at the Library they approached the front doors
and Brim
bowed deeply to the guards.  "Hail, fellow academics, " he
said.  "I am Brim
Happytrailzzz and I have an appointment with your Master, Astinus
the Sage. 
"

They sighed slightly and nodded.  "Aye Master Cartographer, the
Master is
expecting you but your friend must await your return here.  You
know the
Library's rules.  "

Brim muttered under his breath about silly rules but replied,
"Yes, I know
the rule about Kender.  I'm going to speak to Astinus about that
too, that's
discrimination it is !  " he said somewhat grumpily.  Now it
was Jex' turn
to eye his cousin.  

"Careful cousin, " he whispered.  "You might want to talk
to someone about
that temper of yours.  " he said with a chuckle.  Brim shot him
a glance,
then his mood lightened.  

"Point taken cousin, well said.  Alright then.  I'll be back
soon.  Keep
Massy and the cats company and we'll be off before you say
'Shamboozle badda
bing bang gothren backra doomla jomba ringtel!  ' ".  

The guards looked at each, confused a bit, but let the eccentric
little
Kender pass.  Brim vanished into the massive building and Jex
clambered into
the wagon.  He nodded off and when he awoke Brim was sitting at
the small
table nearby eating some Elven waybread and wine.  Jex joined him
and after
they had devoured the delicious loaf Brim filled him in on his
meeting with
the distinguished Sage of Palanthas.

From what Astinus had said the map was of a city which used to
exist east
of where the High cleris Tower now stood.  Before the Cataclysm
the area had
been lush plains which were famous for the horses bred there, but
now it was
all mountainous and rocky, the blasted remains of a world long
gone and all
but forgotten by mortals.  The Sage didn't think the chances were
good that
anything remained but had hinted that it was possible, though
unlikely.  

They decided to check it out and see if anything remained and
leaving the
vicintiy of the Library made their way out the southeast gate of
Palanthas
and along the Knight's High Road to the Tower.  The time wore on
uneventfully and after passing Yarus the road began to climb up
into the
mountains.  A day out from the little hamlet they spied the Tower
of the
High Clerist in the distance and marvelled at the sight.  It was
tall and
inspiring as it reached in solitude towards the sky, as if daring
to touch
the heavens themselve.  It was a mighty hold and it was
inconceivable that
anyone, even an evil as powerful as Lord Soth, would seriously
considering
attacking it.  But besieged it had been and even though that dark
knight had
thrown all of his darkest power at it, still it stood proud, tall
and
defiant to guard the southern approach to the City of Paladine.  

A few hours later, just before nightfall, they arrived at the
north gate and
after a brief chat with the Solamnic Guards were allowed into the
compound. 
They slept the night in the wagon of many colours and in the
morn, with
Found safely stabled inside the wagon (much to the incredulity of
the
stableboy) in the pasture, the two adventurers made their way
east from the
tower and into the mountains on foot.  

The going went well at first for, this close to the heavily
guarded Tower,
there were trails aplenty to choose from.  As the day wore on
though the
trails became more scarce and the terrain more unforgiving. 
Still, they
made good progress and by nightfall had climbed high into the
rocky crags
and chose to camp at a spot which overlooked the Tower far in the
distance. 


The next morn dawned bright and warm but some clouds on the
horizon hinted
at some darker time to come and Jex cursed himself briefly once
again for
not buying that silly hat in Palanthas.  Not having meant he
would need it. 
He should have known The next morn dawned bright and warm but
some clouds on
the horizon hinted at some darker time to come and Jex cursed
himself
briefly once again for not buying that silly hat in Palanthas. 
Not having
it meant he would need it.  He should have known better.  

They went as fast as they could but were slowed by the
increasingly
difficult terrain.  About noon they were walking along a ridge
when Brim
stopped and peered into the shadowed area down the hillside to
their right. 
Jex stopped and followed his cousin's gaze.  "Do you see that
Jex ?  It
looks like a crevice down there with some sort of very narrow
trail leading
into it.  " he said.  

"Aye Brim, I can just make it out.  Good catch.  Even to a
Kender's eyes
that's pretty hard to see.  I wonder how many other people have
seen it ? 
Or even if anyone has even been here to see it at all ?  " Jex
mused.  

"I don't know about you but I'd rather not get caught out in
that storm
that's coming up behind us.  I think we should check it out.  If
nothing
else it should at least provide us some shelter from the wind and
rain.  ". 
Jex nodded and together they scaled down into the ravine.  

Once at the bottom the crevice was still almost invisible and it
was only
with their keen Kender sight that they managed to safely traverse
the rubble
strewn floor and gain the small path.  

Once upon it they found it was no simple animal trail.  It
appeared to be
the remains of an old paved pathway, leading from where to where
they
couldn't tell.  Carefuly they made their way along it and, as it
entered the
crevice and the rock rose shear on either side, they felt the
first
raindrops begin to fall.

Quickly the rock closed above them and they found themselves in
something
almost cavelike and Brim stopped briefly to light an ornate
lantern.  He
merely spoke a word and it lit, casting a warm yellow light in a
wide radius
about them.  It illuminated the rock and trail ahead of them as
they went
and in a few minutes they realised they were descending into the
earth. 
Time seemed to slow and all they knew seemed to be their own
footfalls, the
drip of water, and the words of their conversations which became
shorter as
time marched on.  

Stopping only once to eat a quick meal they kept moving and as
they began to
wonder if this cavern went on forever the path leveled out and
the fractured
stone beneath their feet began to show less damage until they
finaly cam to
one that was still whole.  Crouching down they looked at it and
found that
it was indeed a paving stone of some sort with a decorative
pattern embedded
in it's surface.  They stood again and continued and soon the
stone walls
which had been fairly close on either side gave way and they
found themselve
standing on a small ledge overlooking a very strange sight
indeed.  

If there had been a roof it would have been a cavern but there
wasn't one
and rain poured down onto the shattered and ruined building which
lay spread
out before them about fifteen feet below.  They stayed where they
were, both
to keep out of the rain and to survey the scene as best they
could, and
decided to make camp here for the night and explore a bit in the
morning.  

They dropped their packs and Brim pulled a small box out of his. 
Opening it
up and pushing a knob on one side a small blue flame sprung to
life on it's
surface.  Jex was surprised but the elder Kender just smiled at
the
comforting sight of fire.  He pulled a small pan from his pack,
placed it on
the fire, and proceeded to make a surprisingly elaborate and
satisfying
dinner from the well stock backpack.  Washing it down with
another bottle of
that fine Ergothian vintage (Brim apparently had a very large
reserve) they
rested comfortably by the yellow light of their lantern and
chatted amiably
about their discovery.  Astinus would be surprised to find that
anything at
remained.  It might not be much apparently, but at least part of
the place
survived somewhat, albeit in a ruined state.  

They awoke the next morning to find that the sun was peering in
through the
hole in the rock far above and it's warm glow bathed the vine
shrouded ruins
with an inviting light.  Small birds flitted amongst some trees
which grew
here and after they had descended to street level Brim collected
some nuts
from them for they were of a specices the very widely traveled
Kender had
never seen before.  

Jex looked about in wonder at the ruins which seemed to
deffinately be old
enough to date from before the Cataclysm.  The fractured walls
were
completely covered in clinging luxuriantly green ivy and the
place was
beautiful as it stood revealed in all it's ruined glory.  They
rounded a
corner and found an open space in front of them, what had once
apparently
been a square of some sort.  A small round park like area was at
it's center
and some very ancient trees, of the type seemingly native to this
place,
grew there and spread their branches far and wide.  

Brim hooted in surprise and quickly pulled out the map Jex had
given him. 
"There it is !  See, on the map ?  There's we are !  A small
park it looks
like, in the middle of a square !  ".  He squinted and peered
about.  "Yes. 
Five streets leading off from here to the rest of the city,
although it
looks like they don't lead anywhere anymore.  But definately, we
found the
place !  It's a shame the map gives no name, it would be nice to
know
exactly where we are.  " he said.  

"Delrathyn.  That is the name of this place.  Or it was at one
point, so
very long ago.  " said a voice which seemed to come from
everywhere.  

Jex and Brim froze, eyes wide in surprise.  "Did you say that ?
 " Brim
asked.  Jex shook hi head.  "No, I had rather hoped you had. 
" replied Jex.

"Uhm, hello ?  " Brim said alloud.  "We're friendly
explorers, just, uhm,
exploring.  We found a map of, uhm, Delrathyn and we just wanted
to see it. 
We mean no harm.  " 

A sound from the huge trees ahead drew their gaze and they stared
as a Human
man stepped from behind the wide trunk.  White hair hung down
past his knees
and a great beard, almost as long, descended from his ancient
face.  Old
though he obviously was crisp, clear grey eyes considered them
carefully for
a moment before a deep voice, gravelly from disuse, greeted them.
 "I know
you mean no ill.  I have watched and listened to thy banter for
some time. 
I had all but forgotten the sound of speach.  It has been many a
century
since I have seen or heard another sentient being.  This place
was once a
center for art and science, but now it is merely the ruin you see
and holds
naught but ghosts of a time which is no more.  Welcome, friendly
explorers,
to Delrathyn.  I am Ornith the Sage, last of my people and the
sole survivor
and inhabitant of this once vibrant city.  Join me if you will in
this small
park where we may break our fast and you can tell me of the world
I can no
longer see.  "

He turned and led the way into the park and they followed him,
intrigued by
the man and this place.  They arrived monetarily at a small
gazebo made of
stone, elaborately carved with graceful columns supporting a
delicate arched
stone roof.  Sunlight filtered through the branches to gently
bathe the
structure in warm suffuse light and they sat opposite him at the
small table
in the center.  He uttered an alien word and a simple repast
appeared before
them, cheeses and breads, fruits and vegetable neither Kender had
seen or
tasted before.  In response Brim brought forth yet another bottle
from his
omnipresent bag.  

The old man nodded.  "You are courteous I see, and have good
taste as well. 
Long has it been since ought but simple water passed my lips. 
" he said as
Brim poured some into each of the three cups which had appeared
on the
table.  

Jex smiled and replied, "And you are acourteous and have good
taste as well
it seems Master Ornith for you had the decency not to attack us
or something
equally distateful.  ".  At this the man let out a small
chuckle and nodded.


"To be honest, when I first heard your voices I was enraged at
the intrusion
but then I realised I am doing nothing which can be intruded on. 
After
centuries of solitude I instead welcome the diversion you
represent.  Thank
you for stumbling upon me and Delrathyn.  "

They ate and spoke long, until after the sun had passed it's
zenith and the
sky overhead twinkled with a few stars.  The man was a Sage
alright for he
gobbled up all the news they could provide, from the history of
Ansalon
since the Cataclysm to the nature of the surrent civilisation. 
He was happy
to hear that the world had largely rebuilt itself, although he
was most
surprised to hear of the return of the gods.  When they finaly
came to
describe how they had come to search for this place at the
mention of
Astinus the ancient man's eyes widened in surprise.  

"Astinus ?  Alive ?  Still, after all this time ?  It cannot
be, but then I
guess I am still alive as well.  Tell me, what does this Astinus
look like ?
".  They described him and Ornith nodded.  "It is him.  I was
once his
pupil.  Promise me something my friends ?  Promise me that if
ever you
return and meet him again, that you will tell him I yet live and
long for
the company of another man of knowledge.  " They both nodded
and promised
they would do so but Brim asked, "Why not just go there Master
Ornith ?  I'm
sure Astinus would love to see you.  "

With a sigh Ornith shook his head.  "Alas, I cannot leave this
place.  I
tried once, after the Cataclysm, but something prevented me.  I
don't know
why, but I cannot leave my home.  I have researched this problem,
but to no
avail.  "

They spoke a while longer of things great and small and before
they knew it
the sun was again beginning to cast it's glow through the hole in
the roof
of the cavern.

The time soon came for the two to bid farewell to their host and
as they
walked back the way they had come they chatted about their
discovery.  No
roaming monsters to defeat, no treasure hordes full of shiny
baubles but a
wondrous discovery none the less.  The return trip seemed faster
than the
descent and sooner than they had expected they were back upon the
rocky
ridge, making their way back to the High Clerist's Tower.  They
barely made
the eastern gate before nightfall and spent the night in Brim's
wagon of
many colours with his entourage of cats and the two mules.  In
the morn they
struck out again along the Knight's High Road back north to
Palanthas and
soon enough they were in the Lord City and Brim once again went
to see
Astinus while Jex once again stayed with the menagerie, much to
his
annoyance.  

Brim was gone quite some time but when he returned he was smiling
broadly
and bouncing along with a joyful step.  After he had sat down and
had a
quick meal Brim relayed to Jex what had transpired.  Upon hearing
of their
discovery of the ruined city and it's sole surviving occupant
Astinus had
grilled Brim in depth about the man.  Satisfied that the Kender
had indeed
stumbled upon something important the Master Sage had summoned
his assistant
and immediately departed the Library via magical means.  

He had paused long enough to confirm that yes, the man had been a
former
pupil of the Librarian and that he had thought him long dead. 
Now that
Astinus knew he lived he was going to visit him in his ruined
prison.  He
had told Brim that he owed him a debt for this information, a
debt which he
hoped to somehow repay someday but in the meantime Brim and Jex
were to be
allowed full access to the Library on the condition that they not
'borrow'
any tomes.  If they wished the scribes would make copies of any
documents
that they desired.  

Jex brightened at the prospect.  What wonders there must be
hidden away in
the depths of such an ancient edifice.  Brim saw the look in his
eyes and
nodded.  He stood and together the two leapt from the wagon and
ran up to
the front gate.  The guards saw them coming and allowed them to
pass
