arc v: alem | cr & plotting meme
Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.
Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.
Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.
Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

The talisman was enchanted by alchemists and the main piece is a scale from Vrtra's own body; as an elder dragon, his scales are chock full of powerful aether (magic). There are likely other elements to it (it looks like this, so perhaps some materia/special magic jewels?), and the alchemists are shown to have been working feverishly on it for a long time. It only protects the person holding it, so it's not got a big radius.
This is more for potential plotting than for a specific character right now - with all the bad stuff happening, it's something he'd offer to the group to try out. I wanted to see what might be possible before going all in and posting something ICly. Of course, no one has to take him up on it or anything, haha :D He's just trying to be helpful. Let me know what you think!
