Cries from the Asylum

Despite being a common occurrence within the i'Xiia Asylum, an unusual
wailing came forth that was followed by the harsh shouting of a warden
trying to subdue an unruly patient. Heard across the prime plane, this
attracted the attention of several individuals who decided to check on
the situation. As a lone patient pleaded for help, it was Falmiis Shevat
who was first to investigate matters.

While an asylum warden now called for a doctor to administer sedatives,
Sylvanas and Avurekhos entered the Asylum as well. However, it was
Falmiis who chose to rightly disobey the instructions of the warden not
to interact with the new patients. They had recently been housed in
additional cells that went previously unnoticed and unoccupied.

Falmiis Shevat discovered within one of the cells the mugwump scientist
Vuram Blegurli, to who he rendered aid for a daring escape plan. While
Avurekhos Myeras likewise pledged his support, it was the former pair
that escaped to the laboratory where Vuram had been working until his
recent internment.

A young igasho by the name of Rendon joined his fellow Halifaxian
Falmiis and together they helped the scientist recover his ancestor's
research and gathered the ingredients for a promising attempt at curing
the insanity that has plagued the survivors and descendants of Project
Soulforge.

Despite the initial attempts at mixing up the cure resulting in
combustive results, at last Falmiis figured out the recipe and brought
the vial containing the precious fluid back to the i'Xiia Asylum. There
he administered it to Lanos Blegurli, ancestor to Vuram and direct
witness to the chaos that Soulforge had unleased. The elderly mugwump
was transformed from a gibbering mess into a coherent individual, who
gave his personal account of what happened all those years ago. Alas the
effect only lasted a limited time, and so Falmiis and Rendon, meanwhile
joined by a third Hallifaxian known as Maligorn Shevat, returned to
Vuram in his laboratory.

There they relayed the news of what had transpired and the scientist
thanked them heartily for their service. While there is still much work
to be done before a permanent cure can even become a reality, the first
steps in the right direction were set. It was fitting that a citizen of
the Collective, known for their own scientific advances, was the one to
play a crucial part in these events. For now Vuram Blegurli will
continue his work and hopefully stay out of the hands of the wardens.
