Magic Items

Broad Sword, The Sword of the Emperors: In your hands only gives fighting bonuses. Historically it became a sentient thing in the hands of the Holy, seeking out Chaos and destroying it with Vorpal accuracy, sometimes even leaping out of the wielder's hand to fight by itself.
Ring, to which is bound Mistral, Fourth Level Air Elemental: Gives you control over Mistral. He is permanently Activated and you can Confer with him at will. If he will not do as you ask, you can compel it (and you are improving at this). You can store him in the Ring, but prefer to let him roam free, as he makes a useful spy, and it seems to keep him happy.

Background

See enclosed Information Sheets for history and politics.

After 15 years of exile on this SARAN-forsaken madhouse of an island, you have your enemies within your grasp. The mermen wreck ships that venture too near, so when the Imperial Fleet came within Mistral's range, you were able to use him to separate the Emperor's ship, drive it onto the reef, and spare only the lifeboat bearing the Imperial Family.

You will have to be careful your revenge is not thwarted by the mermen, who steal people for their breeding colony of bestial crosses with themselves: the sea-people. They are constantly after Julietta, but Mistral and Hoger protect her.

Objective

Avenge yourself on Leo as you see fit and re-establish yourself as Emperor, with Julietta as your heiress. Harina is still your lawful Empress.

Escape from the Secret Isle to Valdrea.

DM's Note

The Sword of the Emperors was not a Dancing Sword in Decus' hands, as he was not a SARAN Paladin, and therefore not Holy. At the conclusion of the 1-off, when Chaos was flying around from the Illuminator, the Sword Danced into Marcus' hands to deal with the threat.
