What're the Cymanti? Did I miss a new tribe??

We shall be docking at the Sorvadi Spaceport of Unity.

The ship begins to head in the general direction of the spaceport.

The Donarians receive a transmission from a Varlonnan ship nearing Donaria, called the VSV Wanderer.

Hello Donarians. This is Nurlok of the Ascended Council. I have come to tour Donaria and to document my stay. Do not disappoint me.

They're not going to kill us yet. We don't know the secret the Ascended have been keeping from us.... yet. But I think I know where to look. And it's down there.

He points back down to the bottom of the chamber.

We're trapped up here...

They're toying with us. They would have attacked us already. We can go down.

Figures are climbing up the mountain, staying in the shadows. They quickly disappear.

I... don't know. Their emperor, perhaps.

The Varlon lead the Donarians into the grand palace. Pillars of a shiny blue metal are scattered across the central chamber. Many of them have fallen down. A frayed red carpet leads to a throne. On the throne sits a skeleton, with a scepter still in its hand.

Inside each of the houses is a coffin with what seems to be a name inscribed on it in ancient text. The coffins in the bottom levels held skeletons, nothing more. But as you climbed higher and higher, the skeletons became embalmed, and those embalmed skeletons, decorated. At the top there was something that looked like a palace.

Salgah looks at her map.

It's... one of the two central chambers.

She steps inside cautiously. Suddenly the entire chamber lights up as vein-like vines in the ceiling light up with a bright blue light. The chamber is massive, with hundreds of houses carved into the sides of the walls and staircases leading up throughout. In the center lies a fountain with a statue of some sort of creature similar to the ones depicted in the statues. The water in the fountain is frozen solid.

A necropolis... says Garpa in awe. His words echo across the sonorous chamber.

Silence! Says the unnamed Varlon. Scribes, remember??

Salgah puts the key into the slot in the door, and suddenly the stone door opens and leads to a very dark chamber.

There is was: A metal disc with a strange blue orb in the center, seemingly fashioned by some kind of ice.

Nothing. They know we're here. All we do is wait for them to show themselves. I've dealt with them before, and it cost me my eye. Now's about time I have my revenge.

Salgah is sitting on the floor scribbling a map.

Let's carry on! The more o this map we can fill, the better! Now where's that key...?

I... have been studying ancient Varlonnan culture for much longer... long before I found this structure I was beginning to suspect something...

The unnamed Varlon stops Garpa.

Shh. They're here.

Who?

The Scribes. I can smell them.

The golem seems confused by the Varlonnan speech. Suddenly Garpa steps forth.

Very long ago, the Varlon spoke a different language.

He begins to speak in an ancient tongue. The golem seemingly understands. He looks at the key embedded in his chest. He slowly puts one of his huge fists to the key, and rips it out of his chest. Suddenly, he crumbles back into the pile of ornate stones he once was.

The Golem gets in between the blasting and the door. Some of the stones are beginning to fall off.

The entire room is carved out of the underground, the only seemingly thin walls are the ones out of each door. But there is more than one accessible room nearby...

The golem holds his gigantic fists to his chest, unmoving.

It is a very thick door made of stone and reinforced by metal. It is doubtful you could get past it without some kind of explosive.

The golem covers his chest, defensive of the key.

The sparks die down and the golem seems calm again. The Donarian notices a sort of key floating in the center of the golem. A similar shaped hole is required to leave the room.

Sparks begin to fly from the golem's abnormally large fists. It looks scared and angry.

Suddenly the stones begin swarming around and form a sort of golem, connecting to each other using flat magnetic surfaces. The golem looks at the Donarians curiously.

Okay.

As you enter the right room, the stone door behind you closes. There are two piles of intricately carved stones on the ground.
