15 - La Scala Infinita
The veil of the night was rent for a while, when the four pilgrims arrived at the Gates of the Moon
. The stars fell into the sea for a moment, shining in contact with the seas of
Ysgard and raising huge waves that broke on the rocky walls that supported
Argentile , the palace of
Selune . Dimly lit by the green fields were lost lunar reflection in all directions, until the edges of cliffs. Seemingly carefree, like fireflies on summer nights, the shard
wandered floating in two feet from the stem higher, accompanying the wind nell'accarezzare grass. The girls looked like elves shard with the body wrapped in a soft glow, just enough to make them visible in the realm of eternal night Selune. Some of them noticed the arrival of the adventurers, but they were too taken by their approach to matters of curiosity. They stayed away, to admire the huge moon that illuminated the building, and listening to the sea.
adventurers headed Argentile. The palace of Selune was of immense size, surrounded by walls thirty feet high and topped by towers whose summit was lost in the dark of night. The entire structure is illuminated by fireworks and other luminescence dancing magic, appeared to be completely covered with silver. The walls, battlements, arches and battlements ... everything glowed like metal. The four crossed the threshold of the entrance, whose doors were wide open and that seemed to be supervised by any guard. In the vastness of the interior gardens, several fires in the distance hosted congregation who paid homage to Selune for her dancing to the rhythm of a wide variety of musical instruments. The melodies of strings and voices were cut dall'incedere threatening a huge creature, a golem of silver, five meters high stood in front of the guests, welcoming with the question: "What business will lead to Argentile?"
They explained that they were looking for Infinite Scale, and added more. The golem was made by inviting them to come slowly. Perhaps in the house of a god, too much security was not necessary. They advanced along wide corridors, whose walls are empty and shiny amplify the sense of grandeur. Then, out of the room, came forward a creature. Being elegantly on a long tail slithering serpent, whose scales recalled the colorful hues of feathered wings that sprouted from his back. The back, arms and face were humanoid, with the features of an emaciated middle-aged woman. His features were covered by a mask of silver, smooth, on which were inscribed various unknown symbols. The creature was a lillend.
not appear, but not for this was less kind to his guests. He asked to be followed and slipped on the polished floors in the halls of Argentile also fast. During the trip, explained to foreigners as it was unique and important to the infinite scale. Chaotic accumulation of positive energy, the range was born as a creative synthesis of all sentient creatures of the multiverse, and attracted by that creativity runs for the various layers of internal and external plans, wherever there was inspiration, art, literature, music or any form of expression of the soul that can be called creative. Touching any of these plans, the scale size of the zones called "platforms" or "landing", plots of land more or less flat on the steps which opened to the plan that had been touched. Non-dimensional portals, but actual openings. It was enough to cross the threshold to be in another place in the multiverse, and taking the move in the opposite direction, returns to scale. Lilacs were taken care of the scale for millennia, and would continue to do so for many millennia, deeming the infinite work of art that celebrates all the other works of art.
joints in front of the stairs, inside a cloister round about fifty yards wide, the lillend stretched out his hand to indicate the first steps of the planar travelers mythical infinite scale. At the base, it was a rough stone staircase five or six meters wide, is wrapped on itself along an invisible axis rolling up, apparently without any support except that provided by the steps themselves. A dense web of ivy wrapped around the ladder and it is not possible to see where to put down roots.
"Some warnings! - Said the lillend - First, if the tendrils of ivy are given a mysterious symbol like this (pointing to a strange glowing glyph lying under a big leaf), know that here lies one of our guardians Lille. He perceives everything that happens in the neighborhood, but it is fused with the plant itself, so that the time for him to not spend until he is needed. Second, do not try to leave the scale, and avoid falling from it. The infinite scale is surrounded by a containment field invisible, a kind of veil of protection, which prevents it from falling into the same plans that it touches. A creature that is too far removed from his steps, such as flying, or moving with the magic, you could go beyond the veil and plunged into an unknown place in the multiverse. Given the hazardous nature of most of these places, we advise you not to try to experience it. "
The base camp of the Wayfarers' Guild Planar is was about six hours of ascent from the base. The adventurers left Argentile, and began the ascent of the ladder. Their goal, a magician named Triscalia Let us pray, he seemed to dwell at the base camp of this centuries-old guild, which brought together and provided support to all planar travelers who want to join. A tiefling named Ghienna had instructed the group to find the wizard and give him a formula, a task that apparently she alone was not able to accomplish. Step after step, rise into the infinite.
