Night Falls on Yensid - Jaunt Info

NIGHT FALLS ON YENSID
October 5-November 14


The land of Yensid was once primarily populated by three species--humans, the Stonefolk, and the Forest Folk. For generations, the three of them lived together in harmony, the bonds of which were strengthened by three parts of the Amulet of Yensid, which were brought together each year in a ceremony designed to strengthen the magic of the land. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk in particular rely upon this magic, for without it, Stonefolk become statues, and the Forest Folk become simple beasts. The humans simply used magic to make their lives a little easier.

But the amulet was lost, the magic went out of the land, and now only the humans rule. The Stonefolk and Forest Folk are thought of as nothing more than myth, but there's something to that myth...and parts of an amulet have just been put on display a thousand years later in the year 201X.

Enter the Travelers, with more history in this world than they know - indeed, Yensid was another of the jaunts lost to Moebius, and their last visit was at the time the pieces of the amulet were lost. Can they make up for their past failure this time around?

Will digging around beneath the pedestal/excavation site (like, say, with a crew of experienced Moles) yield any interesting finds?

FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT and give me ideas

It would! Eventually, excavating would find ruins of several rows of
stone bleachers/old-school stadium seats, all arranged in a triangle. One side's sized for humans, one for Stonefolk, and one for Forest Folk. Uncovering everything would require more molepower and time than the Jaunt is likely to have, but with enough time and effort, you'd get the idea.

There are also a lot of musical instruments and pieces of jewelry and ceramics and the sorts of things that likely led someone to start digging there in the first place.

ILU, thank. Bramble and Jefferson and some NPC henchMoles will likely be doing said excavating end of week 1/beginning of week 2, I'll link for reasons.
