Editing The World Tree/Act 1 (section)

===[[The World Tree/Orland Earcoro|Orland]]===
'''Welcome'''
#''It is time to bring this meeting into session.  I am [[The World Tree/Orland Earcoro|Orland Earcoro]], head of the [[The World Tree/Thal Council|Thal Council]]. We have sent for your appearance on a matter of urgency, so with respect, I will skip the courtesies of formal introductions.  
#''You have been chosen due to your innate talents and skills to defend '''[[The World Tree/Ethir|Ethir]]''' from a terrible force that seeks to destroy it'' (if asked how they were chose, '''[[The World Tree/Ra-Orn|Ra-Orn]]''' visited them in a dream with a list of names).
#''We seek to stop this terrible force before it has the ability to do so, but we are left with little choices. Our list of those we can trust has grown thin, with characters and organizations shifting allegiances daily, we are left no choice but to bring in neutral players of our own to fight back'' (if directly questioned, the [[The World Tree/Thal Council|Thal Council]] believes [[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] has infiltrated many cities, including '''[[The World Tree/Thal|Thal]]'''.  Please note that this is not true, only used to set the characters on edge).
#''With your help, we will finally be able to have a foothold in this hidden war. You will be the sword that slays this evil, as we are merely the scabbard to your endeavor. We will assist you in anyway necessary for you to succeed in your cause'' (if questioned about other adventurers, several have tried to find the tree, with none surviving the '''[[The World Tree/Danarus Pass|Danarus Pass]]'''.  They are not sure why.)
#''Before you decide, you should know what is at stake and what our plan is.'' (This can serve as a transition to another member.)

'''[[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]]'''
#''Little is known of the true history of [[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]]. According to legend, [[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] is a powerful necromancer who sold his conscience and being to '''[[The World Tree/Gagaur|Gagaur]]''' in exchange for the power to bring death to those around him.''
#''[[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] had an incredible amount of resources, enough to arm and forge an army of countless number.''
#''He has but one purpose, to destroy the [[The World Tree/Ra-Orn|World Tree]] to end life in the name of '''[[The World Tree/Gagaur|Gagaur]]'''.  If he has returned, it can only mean '''[[The World Tree/Gagaur|Gagaur]]''' has returned him for his dark purpose.''
#''[[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] is dangerous.  It is said that he was able to sweep through the ranks of the Ethirian armies and, with a word, slay over a hundred men. There are also first hand accounts that claim his power caused the sun to eclipse indefinitely until the [[The World Tree/Ashen Warrior|Ashen Warrior]] casting a blessing and prayers to it for four days''(All of this is not true, but merely a myth planted to shy players away from attacking him outright).
#''[[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] had several lieutenants, all of which were granted wondrous power.  There exact number and names are unknown, but not all were destroyed in the [[The World Tree/Time of Chaos|Time of Chaos]].''

'''[[The World Tree/Time of Chaos|The Time of Chaos]]'''
#''Over 500 years ago, the world was in a dark place. Cannibal tribes from the south waged war from the south and necromancers used the fallen as members of their army.''
#''[[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]], the figurehead of this onslaught, searched tirelessly for the [[The World Tree/Ra-Orn|World Tree]], laying waste to cities and innocent lives as he passed. The future looked grim for '''[[The World Tree/Ethir|Ethir]]'''.''
#''Then, the [[The World Tree/Ashen Warrior|Ashen Warrior]] met [[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]] on the battlefield and slayed him, ending the darkness and allowing light to shine into this world (if asked about what happened to the [[The World Tree/Ashen Warrior|Ashen Warrior]], he will tell them that she died a few days after in battle).''
#''This time almost brought the destruction of '''[[The World Tree/Ethir|Ethir]]'''. The signs of the [[The World Tree/Time of Chaos|Time of Chaos]] are approaching again, forcing our hand into action.  We must prevent this from happening again at all costs.''

'''[[The World Tree/The Compass|The Compass]]'''
#''This compass is truly the most amazing twist of fate we have ever uncovered. This compass was taken after [[The World Tree/Magnus|Magnus]]' destruction.''
#''For centuries, we have attempted to find '''[[The World Tree/Ra-Orn|Ra-Orn]]'''. Scholars have seeked answers, worshipers have seeked assurance, and, yes, even highway men in hopes of making a profit. All of which have never found the tree, leaving us to try again'' (If questioned, [[The World Tree/Orland Earcoro|Orland]] will explain that the compass returns on the death of the previous owner, returning to the pedastal).
#''There is a scholar, named Naomi King, at the [[The World Tree/Tsar Outpost|Tsar Outpost]] who has just unraveled a secret about [[The World Tree/The Compass|the compass]], finding a way to change its function.  Perhaps it will answer more questions than myself. The outpost is a day's journey from here''
