The word "Rasenna", scattered across rare and ancient documents, is like a grand puzzle across time whose hints were perhaps never meant to be uncovered.  All that is known is that deep in the western Voltai, near the headwaters of the Vosk River, is an ancient and isolated temple to Priest-Kings.

Kutai, the Haruspex decides to visit the ancient temple, in search of secret knowledge.

  02:52] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks around in the tent city, he just visited the temple, an admirable building, but giving him, as a haruspex bad vibes, not just because it was a temple of anotehr believe, but as if some dark future lays ahead
[02:56] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees a free woman, veiled, also from a city he concludes. She suddenly disappears betwene the tents and the trees. "Not unwise" he thinks "after all which free woman goes meet a dreaded Tuchuk for a casual talk, even that he was here for peaceful reasons, she could not know"
[03:03] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) watches the surrounding mountains of the western Voltai, he heard of the ancient temple, and wanted answer, in his ever-going search for wisdom and truth. he visited the temple but found no Initiate to speak with, probably he was at a too early time. probably they were still sleeping, temporarily, or permanently because the place has a spooky atmosphere around it
[03:11] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) see lady Jordan coming out her wagon, he return to help her "the tent village is quite emoty, most are asleep, or hiding"
[03:12] JordanFlower: Tal Sir, is the wagon not riding any further? It seems we are alone here.
[03:13] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): I have looked further the path, there is a river, after that a huge forest, best leave the wagon on the road and go by foot
[03:14] JordanFlower looks over to the tents:"They might be out, hunting or in the woods. working timber."
[03:16] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "possible"he does not tell her he felt bad vibes near the temple, as if some evil was creching near, a natural danger, or something spiritual. maybe the local Initiates had experimented with forbidden powers

[03:21] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) waits for the free woman, maybe she needs help in passing the brook "do you need a hand Lady,"
[03:23] JordanFlower nods, :"please Sir, i don't know if the water is deep here."
[03:23] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "it's not deep" he says "but Gorean waters are full of dangerous life" he walks to her and lifts her up, carrying her to the brook
[03:24] JordanFlower blushes as you do so
---------------- here the Lady had to go to RL- Kutai goes back to the village  -----------------
 

 [03:28] Sana (dracaena.donat) drops on her knees and smiles at the man "Greetings, Master."
[03:28] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) walks to the save which he might have met before, but he is not sure he sees so many slaves "tal slave"
[03:30] Sana (dracaena.donat) peers curiously up at the man.. Then a sparkle of recognition appears in her dark brown eyes "Haaa, it is you! How are you, Master?"
[03:32] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) recognizes her as the slave of Sabriel with who he once hunted in Port Cos "yes it's me the haruspex, i am personally well, but my mission so far is not satisfactory"
[03:34] Sana (dracaena.donat) frowns slightly "Not satisfactory, Master, why not?"
[03:36] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks at her curious nose, but then decides to tell "long story, few weeks ago I was at Viktel Voltai, at their homestone ceremony, i wanted to offer my help to read an omen, for i had not heard they had an Initiate to do such"
[03:37] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "they did not need my help, but i herad rumours of an ancient temple in the Voltai mountains, where Initiates lived with great knowledge. since i am myself a priest and hunger to learn, I decide to seek the temple"
[03:38] Sana (dracaena.donat) smiles up at the man and points with her thumb over her shoulder "It is over there, Master.. But be careful.. There were found some dead bodies there some hands ago.."
[03:40] Miene (amandines) is online.
[03:40] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks at her and hears her warning "hmm, that explains, I visited the temple an hour ago, but saw no Initiates. Thats the not satisfactory part. Now i can not learn from them. But now you spea of teh dead, it explains the bad vibes i go there. Their spirits must be around, not yet heaving entered heaven yet"
[03:43] Sana (dracaena.donat) shudders and peers around her cautiously after the words of the Haruspex..Stammering a soft "I..i hope they stay away..."
[03:45] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees her fear "as far as my knowledge reaches of spirits, they will be locked between the walls of the temple" he tells with a bit pooha, because in fact he knows a little of spirits, but maybe it's something completely else which lurks there in the dark stones
[03:49] Sana (dracaena.donat) notices the darkness fall in.. She stands and gathers some logs from a pile of wood, dropping the fuel on the smoldering coals.. Immediately the fire flares up.
[03:49] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat clears the fire pit. Someone will have to set it again before it can be lit.
[03:49] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat sets the fire. Someone can light it now.
[03:49] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat lights the fire. Someone could poke it to get it burning hotter.
[03:49] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat pokes the fire, making it burn hotter.
[03:51] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks at the flames "making fire against evil is always good, light keeps it away"
[03:53] Sana (dracaena.donat) nods resolutely "I hope it works, Master!"
[03:53] Fireplace: A log burns up on the fire.
[03:54] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "i think so yes" he thinks a moment "I assumed that there would be wise priest here, but i saw none. maybe my assuption is wrong. do such white caste members live here?'
[03:57] Sana (dracaena.donat) nods and gestures to the hills "Yes, he lives up the hill, nearby the temple, Master, no clue where he is at the moment."
[03:59] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sighs relieved that at least the rumor of the existing of a wise man was true, so his travel was not in vain "I hope i can find him then, it wil not be easy to do such, but maybe i can hire a guide here in the village"
[04:01] Fireplace: A log burns up on the fire.
[04:01] Sana (dracaena.donat) smiles "You can't miss him Master, his white robes stand out very strongly against the green of the forest.." she says with a chuckle
[04:02] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) laughs "yes i guess so, i always forget that your priests wear white"

[04:04] Sana (dracaena.donat) pokes with a stick into the flames, pushing a burning log more towards the center of the pit
[04:04] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat adds a log to the fire.
[04:04] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat adds a log to the fire.
[04:04] Fireplace: Dracaena Donat pokes the fire, making it burn hotter.
[04:05] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "well, before i search him, i want strengthen my self a bit, does the village have an inn or tavern, where i can eat a bit. Living on berries and mushrooms alone is not well, when one searches the forests"
[04:06] Sana (dracaena.donat) points towards the long house "That is the only building in the city Master, it is safe and warm in there.."
[04:08] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) turns around and sees the wooden structure, a building in a form he has never seen before "then i shall look inside"
