[LFFF]

So happy, its taken a long time to reach this moment. I'm no author so I hope reading this is enjoyable, no gaurantees though, heh. Whoever DM's this, if you wish more clarification on a certain detail please ask via PM. Though I'd prefer Lias past before Layonara not be involved in her ECDQ, if the GM wishes otherwise, I ask that you ask for more information on that part of the story definately.

Lia Di'makiir
Level: 20
EXP to Level: 10774157 (still a ways to go I know)

Duragen; Of times before Layonara: (this is Lia's past before Layonara, it will be relatively short in comparison to how long it can be for it holds no relevance to Layonara except for the fact that Lia's life in the world she was born in does contribute into the way she thinks and her knowledge base; a part of her personality even today, despite how much she has changed since then)

It is well know that a curse befalls this young elf later in her life, in a world unknown to her, but to some she's been cursed since the day she was born. A very important elf in society, a loving mother and well loved wife died the day of Lias birth. The woman was her mother and her death left a mark unto the city and her newborn child. Lia, at the time known as Leanne, grew up hated by almost all her siblings (a total of 20) and insulted by society, "a bad omen" they called her, "murderer" from the other children. She grew up having no freinds and thus books took that place, Libraries becoming a place of refuge where she would stay for days and nights sleeping atop an open book, dreaming to be as far away as she could. She eventually found a freind through her studies though, a pixie she called Bell who later became her familiar. She also grew found of a teacher in her academy, a master in alchemy and a scholar, what she didn't know is that this man was one of the most powerful wizards in her world and he eventually became her mentor when the war began. Despite the death of his wife Lias father loved her dearly, but was a powerful merchant and too busy to take care of her the way he wanted. Her oldest brother, much wiser with age also cared for his youngest sister, and in a moment when she was threatened he drove the children away and swore to protect her that day. Lia studied and read constantly, she took up many arts to keep her busy and proved to be extreemly intelligent, even in comparison to her peers in the academy, which became a point of pride to her, she felt her intelligence was all she had and became arrogant with it; though, it never helped with her insecurity, which she kept bottled up for years.

Later, battles broke out in the city, between the weathly and slaves, slaves being the men and the wealthy being the elves. In a last attempt to save her and to be a good father to her, Lias father decided to hide her identity through a ritual of maturity that all elves go through in this land. Through this her father lost his honor and if learned of what he did, the family would lose their respect, and so till even this very day Lia protects her hidden past, not telling those of who she was before the battle broke out. The battle eventually turned into civil war, civil war to all out war between man and elf to eventaully attempt of mass genocide on the elven race (very few elves live on the continent, though she knows of it as a world, of Duragen).

With her disquise and a few freinds, one being her new mentor, Lia borded one of the ships in port and sailed away from the city. That was the last day she saw her family, something she wasn't too upset about, though she did care for her brother and her father. Eventually when the war got worse the crew on the ship decided the best way to survive was through pirating and visitted few ports, Lia heard little of the war herself, despite her prying questions, for her mentor and most the crew wished to protect her of such news, especially when genocide was announced on all elves. To protect the crew and Lia her mentor decided to share them a little secret he knew, but the secret he would show instead of tell and told the captain to sail to the edge of the world.

It was the most amazing thing she ever saw... a wall of magic, like pure energy, surrounding as far as the eye can see, and like gates large strings of energy shooting so much farther. Her mentor pointed to one of the rifts and ordered the captain to set forth. Even in fear of what this is or where it could bring them, they obeyed and continued to sail into the rift, but something went wrong, in a close 15 minutes before getting in range of the rift, they saw something emerging from it. A ship, black like a raven but with red splotts here and there, the red was blood. Suddenly they saw more comming from behind, a fleet of these horrible boats. Perhaps foolish, but this was their last hope, the crew was ordered to go full ramming speed into the rift, dont stick around to fight, just go as fast as it can. The ship took tons of damage, fighting what it could as it makes its hopeless journey into the rift. For Lia those 15 minutes became long hours, as they attemp to stop bordings and dodge their weapons. When all seemed hopeful and the path to the rifts now cut in mear seconds, a huge explosion came that split and shoke the boat. All Lia remembers then is falling overboard into a rift, not knowing what lies beyond or if anyone else made it, or even if she is going the right way. Like in a dream, she appears before a dragon...

A new land and a new begginning:

Shortly after her dream Lia wakes up in Hlint. At first she thought she made it, but none of the crew or her mentor were to be seen, as well as the boat they sailed on. Despite the loss of her mentor and her old freinds, the dream she had gave her hope, she felt she had a purpose and a new begginning where noone knew her. She met and made many friends in this new land. Some that come to mind is Fadrien and her sworn protector Rannostlin. Fadrien and Lia became best freinds in their travels and Rannostlin had feelings for Lia, unfortunately when he decided to act apon them and finally show her how he felt, Lia began to dwell on her dark path with Xandrial and all hope to be with her left. She also met Quintayne, who was accually one of the first people she met, he showed her around and they talked for quite some time in the inn, and became good freinds themselves. They went through many adventures, fighting Ogres near the peaks, exploring the many dungeons, finding anything to do and there were always people asking for help.

There was another Lia met as well, and it was because of this meeting Lia fell into darkness. Rather suiting for that was who he was, Nathan Birch, in that time he was known as the Prince of Darkness. Lia first came across him when he was speaking to a drow elf. Lia knew not what to think at the time for she never saw or even knew what a drow was before then, but she senced alot of power between the two, and couldn't help but watch. Nathen then noticed her, turned around and walked right to her. He warned her, a threat that if anything they spoke of reaches anyone else she will regret it.

Its been so long and she cant even remember what was discussed, something about the drows mother, but Nathens threats took their toll. Lia felt weak and insecure again, by the power of this wizard she would be rendered useless and yet for hardly any reason, atleast hardly any that she can think of, he threatened her well being and life. She felt like she was nothing again, so weak and insignificant. She wished she had the power to throw his words back at him, and she wished it right away.

Shortly after the event and her phase of depression she travelled with a small group heading to Fort Llast. Suddenly a demon appeared before them... Scared and in awe of the power before her Lia just stood still looking apon him... The warrior within the group was not so much in awe though and foolishly tried to engage the beast, who took down the warrior instantly. Lia fell to her knees and begged for her life, and said that she would do whatever he wishes if he would let her live. The demon looked down at her and it was like he was reading her mind, he suddenly knew of her insecure state and this new lust for power, and so offered her more then her life, but the power to take down her enemies and all she hated, all she had to do was become his servent and his power will be hers. She accepted his offer not knowing the consequesnce but he let her know right away the path she would tread if she is to follow him. To prove herself he summoned one of his minions before her and told her that she was to order this servent to kill the rest within her group. She thought long and hard about it, to have this power and live to use it, to show the prince and all who hurt her a taste of thier own medicine, or to die by the demons hands if she refuses... the answer seemed simple and she ordered the minion to attack, at first not looking at the massacre but then something happened, something awakened in her... probably of the demons device awakening her darker indulgences so to enjoy the evil she will bring apon the world for him, or it could have been a part of himself, for she began to know things she shouldn't have, the ability to read Florane was one of them. Another theory was the demon released an ancient spirit and placed it in Lia to control her while she serves.

Whatever happened, one thing was for sure. That day Lia started to slowly lose her will to fight whatever evil took over her and even though she hid for years to protect herself and her friends, eventually the evil took over and she reawakened to do the demons bidding.

The three tears, the last reminants of what was good in Lia:

After years of hidding Lia went back to Hlint and found alot of new faces, new allies, sheep to manipulate. Only those who knew her before Xandrial noticed the change in her. Eventually, the one who got her into this mess, Nathen, became one of her greater allies and they performed a few deeds together.

One of the ones who noticed the change the most and feared Lia and for Lia the most because of it was Lias familiar and best friend Bell, whom with her concerns would refuse to help Lia with whatever evil she would do trying to convince her to stop, for it is not her. At the same time Bell would not leave Lias side though, despite this new disagreement... This frustrated Lia alot and Xandrial as well and so he sent another minion of his, an imp named Daos, to become her new familiar and to also insure that she does Xandrials bidding. Lia told her pixie to leave her and never return, but Bell would not leave Lia to this imp, so the imp offered to kill this neusance which Lia agreed and told him that will be his first task to prove himself. Just before Daos killed Bell, something inside Lia released, perhaps it was the last bit of good within her and she tried to stop the imp, but she was too late thus crying the first of three black tears. The imp then mentioned the name of her master, Xandrial, and she has work to do for him.

The imp then told Lia of an old book that she must get and use for her master, he only described it to be a black book of demons, and by Xandrials will she will recognise it. She was informed that Moraken has it as well and later visitting him learned the information was correct. So for months she worked with him, trying to seduce the wizard, and eventually succeeded for Moraken told Lia he fell in love with her. They decided to express that love later that evening and so Lia quickly hired a theif to steal the book while Lia has Moraken occupied. As soon as the job was done Lia left the tower and while leaving she cryed another tear, only thrice since then had she returned to his tower avoiding Moraken now like the plague.

She opened the book and saw that it was covered in strange symbols, scripts shes never seen before, that many have not seen before. A voice entered her head, the runes are written in a language long lost to those of this world, I cannot teach you the language, but you will be able to read what I deem you can, turn the pages now, there is a ritual you must do for me. And there she saw the ritual of Strengthening, visible like it was written in common. The ritual was to connect the two, in which Lia beleived would grant her the demons power, but unfortunately for Lia it is whoever that is more powerful who gets control, and the ritual allowed Xandrial complete control and power over Lia, while Lia gained nothing. Unknowing of this she got to work... she needed a few items, the ritual had to be done in a great place of magic, which with Nathen she peformed in the tower of darkness and she needed the sacrifice of an innocent virgin, which she decided to kidnap a child for, shortly after the ritual began. With Nathan as her witness she did everything to the book, and killed the child in sacrifice to the ritual, once again trying to stop herself she cried her last tear and in the childs death the demon with now absolute control turned Lia into a vegitable until he needed her for one last thing.

The amulet and the curse:

The demon released Lia breifly to take the shifters amulet for him, Lia was not the only one he manipulated to help him though and half the group that went out to get the amulet for Moraken were accually there to assist Xandrial, in the end the amulet was in Lias hands, and just before heading back to Moraken Xandrial appeared before them and Lia proudly gave him the amulet. Moraken, probably heart broken at that point, then chased Xandrial to the hells to get it back, both of them losing it. When Xandrial fled he released all within his control, except Lia. Perhaps thinking there was still some use for her, or enraged that in the end he knew she would betray him and try to become the master herself, he decided to bestow a curse on her. With his new control over her, he freed her will, but repeated in her mind constantly the memory of the harm shes done, of the events that lead to her tears... then when she was broken, he left her in that state, and had it so she will not feel another thing again, only the regret for whats shes done, turning into rage and becoming a vessel only wishing revenge for all harm that is done to her.

Daos dissapeared that day and Lia wishes one day to find and kill him for what hes done. She later gave the book of demons to one of the last metallics in the world in that time, asking her to protect it and that one day Lia will return to reclaim and use it against the demon. However Lia learned Xandrial found the dragon first and killed her and took the book for himself.

She then travelled the world in a new state, a new person. Insecurity was no longer a problem, but now she became cruel, inconsiderate, unforgiving. Her anger controlled her for when she had many friends, she now only fueled them with hatred towards her, for what shes become and for some, for what she did to become that. As I'm sure many beleived Lia deserved her fate, and in time decided to act on it. One notible person was Brisbane who like so many others judged Lia without truely knowing who she really was and though Lia has tried to help her a few times, she could not look past the cruel outside and hated Lia only becomeing more and more an inconvinience to her, to the point where Lia accually beleived if it means getting rid of Lia, Brisbane would even help Xandrial. Brisbane was the extreem in the case, but not the only one who hated Lia and while many would not go out of their way to harm her, they cared not for her fate, and would probably be happy if she roted in hell with the demon. Lia soon learned that this anger is not a strength like some presumed it to be, but a weakness, a punishment from Xandrial and it took away her greatest power, perhaps so if she decides to take on the demon she will be on her own. Lia first thought that if she was to succeed she would have to do it herself and became completely independent, but then she learned, remembered, what could be acheived with freinds and allies, but it was too late and the damage was done. She decided that if she was to complete her task, and finally free herself she would have to control her anger.

She spent years trying to control her rage and many things happened through this to help her in this control, but many things hindered her as well, and she eventually lacked sympathy for the heros and adventurers in this world and decided to seek darker allies if she is to acheive what she needs. Though with some good help Lia did not turn completely evil through all this.

Lia learned in controlling her anger another price would take its toll, and she would begin to forget what it was like back in her homeworld, and in the good times she had on Layonara, and of the other emotions. When if she gained complete control of her rage all she would remember is Xandrial and all that was done with him, and all that he did to her. If it were not for one person Lia would have went back to square one in her attempt to control herself.

Of Lucinda and the Arcana Superior:

Rewind a bit here. Before Xandrial, shortly after the event with the Prince of Darkness, Lia truely noticed the large book in the Melnon library, known as the Arcana Superior, also known as the book of Lucinda to some. Though the book in the library was only a copy magically made from the real one Lia looked apon it for years longing for the real thing. This urge for the book came even further when the demon released her will and placed her under his curse, she hoped with the tome she could discover some secret power to use against the demon, and so hired Triba to steal it for her. Triba agreed to help Lia and retrieved the book for her, which Lia still has, but through it learned that the book itself is useless and was only a vessel to hold a greater power.

Long ago the first grandmasters of the weave decided to place all their knowledge into a single book, but all this knowledge would not fit in a single book, nor did they find it suiting to have all their knowledge be written in a tome, and instead manipulated all their knowledge into a single source of energy that would be stored into the tome. They hid the tome in a place where they beleive one worthy enough to find it will gain this power and absorb all thier knowledge. Unfortunately a wizard did stumble onto the tome, but he was weak willed and knew nothing of what he found, and when he opened the book the energy went to him, but turned him into a vegitable, no longer able to be his own master he became servent to the power itself, wandering aimlessly answering any question one asked him with unbeleiveable accuracy, but he could do nothing more then that. Lia ran into this wizard himself but shruged him off like he was simply a mad man, only learning of her mistake when she opened the tome herself and learned of its true purpose. Triba nor Ozy would tell Lia where the man went to after that day. The only clue she has now to his whereabouts is that Ozy and Triba did talk about bringing him to Morakens tower to ask Moraken what to do about him.

Lia dreaded this, for she still remembers the last time she saw Moraken and knew not what he would do if she came to see him again, especially since once again she seeks him for another source of power. She braved this though and decided to to see him in his tower, with a few others she went looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. Clues appeared before her though like she was expected and she followed them, hoping to find her answers alone without Morakens help. She never expected to find what she did though. After the last clue a spyglass started glowing and she looked within it. Through the syglass she saw the weave like in strands connecting to all the wizards on Layonara, starting with the strand connecting to her and the wizards with her. She then saw more strands connecting to all within the land, and uncontrollably followed them up until finally, before her eyes shone Lucinda herself. For that breif moment Lia could feel again, so proud she was to be before the goddess, and yet sad as well, for she did not forget the demon. Lucinda spoke to her, but her voice could not be heard and with a final smile Lucinda granted Lia the memories she lost due to her attempt to control herself.

Later through Lucinda Lia was granted these gems to allow her to feel again, but Lia later refused them. She also met her dead familiar and hope to one day join her whereever she sleeps or she will attempt to bring her back. Lia cant figure out why Lucinda helped her though, she sought many preists and wizards that worship her, as well as those who worship enemy gods to learn what she could of the goddess and most importantly why did she help Lia of all people. Lia knows that Lucinda wishes something in return, perhaps it has something to do with the arcana superior. Wahtever the task Lia plans to find out, and has decided to help Lucinda for what shes done for her, but she still doesn't know if she is to worship the goddess. She still finds it hard to trust anything with such power and she wishes absolute freedom, and beleives that a preist is not free, but a servent to the gods will.

Cadimus the wizard and his sword:

Because of Lias past crimes there are some things she just wont stand for anymore, one of them happens to be harming children. Cadimus, who used to be a warrior, stumbled into Layonara like Lia did and eventually got homesick, driving him insane when the fact came that he would die in this world and not in his homeworld. He then abandoned his sword and it was rumored that all the good in him left with it and part of his spirit now lives in the sword, the last reminants of what was good in him. He took up sorcery and learned a way to remain immortal so he could have all the time he needed to find his way home. The means was a ritual of mass sacrifice of children, once the sacrifice is complete Cadimus's soul is free to wander the world and take the bodies of those of weak will. Through this his soul could not be destroyed for you kill the body and the soul will simply take a new one, and the cycle simply continues on, many innocents dieing so this man could live. We then heard that there is a way to attack the spirit directly, that his old sword that was abandoned still holds part of his spirit and with it the two spirits could clash in a final battle, but the sword needs one of strong will to control it and it has the power to chose its weilder, which it chose Lia, whom Cadimus himself grew obsessed with.Cadimus formed a cult to worship him and every 100 years seek out children for the ritual. We all thought we defeated him when we freed the children from the cult, but the sword still shines with his spirit, though its power either weak or in dorment, and Lia doubts it will be the last time she sees Cadimus. Its been a long time since this quest has been complete and Lia concerns herself very little about Cadimus now.

The black wizards and demons:

When Lia realized she would have to seek dark allies to assist her in her goals, the first group she came to were the black wizards. Through a contact of hers which she used to pass information to them for a nice little reward, she was able to meet the grandmaster who decided to not just help her for a bit of help in return, he decided to have her join, whether she liked it or not, it seemed to her. She was given a first task and still has to complete it for them, and now it has become a matter where the black wizards would have her killed if she doesn't succeed, or simply gives up. Lia will do this task and whatever else they need of her for now, but in time she will wish to leave the group and beleives to do that she will have to betray and weaken them. What Lia now seeks in this world she knows she will not get with the Black Wizards, and her hatred for demonkind makes her trust the group less, as well as other creatures shes heard they accociate with.

Through meeting the grandmaster, a spell was cast, for what she beleives was the means to help block Xandrials eyes when she accociates with the wizards. The grandmaster noted that there are eyes watching her, but it was not Xandrial she saw, it was another demon, female. Lia now wishes to know who this new demon is, and why shes interested in her. Another reason why Lia wont leave the black wizards quite yet, she believes through them she may find out sooner then the demon wishes, to hopefully give Lia an upper hand in whatever scheems that demon has for her.

Through her adventures Lias Learned much on Demonkind. In particular she knows of five demon families that work together, some more willingly then others, to achieve their goals for power. One in particular tried to become the most powerful of them all, but failed with a group involving Lia's help. Lia will eventually wish to eliminate/banish all the demons in these five families to help in her path to slay demons (in lack of a better word for this).

Lia also recently helped a demon, but it was in the knowledge that if she didn't free the demon from her prison the demon would never die, a fate probably worse then death and banishment from the prime of Layonara, but a fate Lia did not wish for the demon, and neither did those who came to her prison to kill her as well. So they decided to free her so to be able to kill her another day. There is more though, before Lia learned she was a demon Lia agreed to help this witch and in return the witch would grant her items that would increase the powers of her enchantments and to help her defence in such powers. Before Lia goes to kill the witch she will seek her for her reward.

A wizard amongst thieves:

Lia has become very rogish in nature, her particular practice in magic has helped give her the wit and means to help in such deeds. Her beauty has shown no hinderance for this as well. However there are some skills she lacks, or atleast lacks well in comparison to rogues. She however made up for this one fateful day when Quintayne needed her assistance. To get information he required he would have to seek those of shady nature to get it, but noone within his group wished to associate with such people, so he asked Lias assistance to get the infomation. Lia agreed to help for she now had plans of her own. In helping Quintayne Lia helped herself by gaining an in with a thieves guild.

For now she is just a prosperous client wishing thier service, and has asked a job of them already, but she of course wishes more and has made that clear. Shes offered to help them in whatever job they do to gain her trust and hopefuly in time be a member amongst them.

Freedom at last:

It was finally time to seek Xandrial in his tower. Moarken has asked a large group to help in regaining the shifters amulet by dealing with Xandrial to claim it. Lia wished not to deal with Xandrial again and so as many times before, made the decision up to the rest of the party, she however wished to join in this expedition, for she had questions of her own, like who the demonic woman is that she saw. When they made it to Xandrial he told the group that he will bring them to the plane where the amulet has been taken too, if they can defeat the devil lord of that plane and thus give Xandrial its seat he will give us the amulet, and free Lia. We succeeded and Lia was finally free.

She was a tad traumatized at first, completely speechless, but eventually she broke to tears. It was finally over, the chapter involving Xandrial, atleast she hopes, but there is still one last thing she must do.At first she couldn't control her emotions. Lia was completely erratic, she would be happy one moment then she would be crying the next, then she would smile again like nothing happened. Much like a child, and that nearly is what she became, she didn't even realize it until a man tried to woe her and nearly succeeded. Much like her anger she now tries to get a better control on all her emotions, and has proven to be very chaotic at times, full of glee, then at times shes shown that rude side of hers, but it tends to be more playful and sarcastic these days. Because of her control of her anger when it was all the emotion she had she has become near impervious of the emotion, easily shruging off things that most would not, and most who knew her would be suprised she did. However, despite the huge personality change, Lia has not forgotten what was done to her, and the way others acted towards her. She cares not for the good nor evil of the world, and will only help them if it suits her, unless you have proven to be a true friend to her, due to a past she will never wish to repeat, Lia will go out of her way to ensure her friends do not get harmed, and if they do, those who harmed them will pay.

Recently she found the home of the t'oleflor. A mojor event for the history of the world. She also used the oppertunity to learn more of Xandrial, and how he fell. To gain more answers she offered the t'oleflor she spoke to the book she stole for Xandrial, knowing the t'oleflor can read it. Lia may learn more of the events leading to her curse and even more if she could have someone interprit it fully for her.

In General she may now look it, but Lia is far from good, but she is also not evil, and finds the conflicts between them trivial. Right now she wishes to show others that she is not an evil person, and she has acted around that for now, doing her darker deeds in the background insuring to not get caught. Her ultimate goal is to gain absolute freedom, for much in her life it was taken, and through the powers she seeks she thinks she can achieve it.

Quests: (okay I've done tons of quests, and I doubt I can list them all)

Plot - there are some plot events I missed due to sailing, but I beleive I made more then 60% of the events since I joined in Beta 3

CDQ's - Lots of them, heres what I rememebr, The evil Lia did for Xandrial was all CDQ'd - Lia was somewhat involved in a CDQ theft attempt on the arcana superior (she hired Triba to do the stealing, so most of it was Triba and Ozy) - CDQ'd an attempt to redeem the crimes of her tears, ended being something bigger with Lucinda - CDQ'd a quest to indulge on Lias darker side, it was just complete and Lia ended helping the evil, to get she she wished in the quest, but also in the knowledge that the evil could not be destroyed where it was, despite it was imprisoned.

Cadimus - The GM eventually quit the server so this never got complete, it stoped when Lia finally got the sword and the group freed the children.the five demon families (not real quest name, but cant remember it) - It was to stop a demon from becoming more then just an ordinary demon, in turn a few of the demon families wished us to interfear, for if he succeeded then the hierarchy of power between the families would shift.

Kobals ECDQ

Quintaynes ECDQ - what little was done in it anyways

A bit of Gotaks CDQ

Thousand year promise

If I need to mention more please say, I can scoure the calendar for more events I was involved in.

Ideas for Lia to acheive to become epic:

Arcana Superior and Lucinda - I imagine the events involving Lucinda and the events involving the arcana superior can be connected. Lia seeks the book, but is she ready for such power yet? She beleives she is now. Perhaps Lucinda is testing her for that very reason, and will proclaim Lia to be the knowledges protector.

Black book of demons - Lia wishes to regain this book and learn more about it and the events pertaining to it by lending it to the t'oleflor to help her discover it more. Where this will leade though is unknown.

one of those two mentioned I would like the most, but here are some other ideas:

The black wizards - For Lias plan to betray them to fully unfold she will need to complete a few things. Of course gaining rank to further infiltrate and learn more of their weaknesses would be nice, but Lia also knows in joining them there are alot of benifets she would lose once leaving them. Because of this she wishes to find something to gain, steal from the black wizards when the time comes. Like the secret to the grandmasters great power.

Theives guild - Lia would like to get further with this guild. Become one of them instead of a customer. Eventaully she will wish leadership and have a guild of assasins and spies at her disposal.

Demons - perhaps its time Lia isn't a self proclaimed demon slayer but has it become official for all feinds on Layonara and even beyond to know. Lia will also wish to learn more of this demonic woman who seems interested in her

Cadimus - I doubt hes gone forever. The sword still exists, though the soul in it is weak right now. Is it time for Lia to embrace this part of her destiny?

At first I wanted either Ed or Pankoki to GM the ECDQ, but I also know they are very busy with other quests, so the first available DM will be quite fine. They aren't ECDQ GM's for nothing and I'm quite confident any one of them will make a cool story and great quest.
