Etheric Windmill, Xu Peninsular

Have you ever wondered how the great airships of Xu are powered?

I recently had the opportunity to travel with a supply train travelling through a mountainous region of the Xu peninsular and found out first-hand for myself! High in the peaks stand beautiful windmills that harness etheric energy into a form of liquid silver fuel for the great airships. The energy can only be captured using the diaphanous wings of the giant dragonfly. They are apparently caught by the windmill's caretakers (for extra cash) and transported to a hatchery where they grow until they reach adulthood. Their wings are then harvested and turned into the sails for these chain of windmills that dot the mountains.

Thank you Waterbrick Down for pointing out the three quests that dealt with Xu and their technology.

Temple of Ennoc

-----------------------------

Long time ago Ennon was a great kingdom, carrying around the world the light. Its King were honest and wise, Ennon's people had faith. Then one day Ennoc, the Righteous Light came down from the heavens and gave the Ennon's nation the sacred Artifact called the Bringer of Light, which gives infinite wisdom and power of the light magic to its owner. The King of Ennon made the right decision: artifact was hidden deep under the ground, his existence was hidden too, because the King knew that the Bringer of Light can be a power that can change the whole world. The secret of the artifact passed down from father to son.

The Kingdom of Ennon was overrun and fell during the Orcish Invansion 250 years ago. The last heir of the Ennon's throne was killed by Orc King Tarokai so a location of the Bringer of Light was lost forever...

Many people did not believe in the existence of an artifact, but there are the new rumor across Olegaia says that the artifact still exists. The rumor says that the Bringer of Light is hidden behind a unassailable gate in the depths of the Ennoc's Temple, guarded by the spirit of the Ennoc. Within a few days, hundreds of mercenaries, treasure hunters fitted out their ships to Lost Kingdom. The Paladin Order can't allow falling of artifact into the wrong hands, otherwise the balance of good and evil in the world would changed. So High Priestess of the Paladin Order resorted to the help of Heroica to protect the artifact and save it from the evil. Now the fate of the world is lying in the hands of the Heroes...

The ship sailed out from the Eubric port and after a couple of days they reached lands of Lost Kingdom. In the forests Waldurk they met a lot of dangerous creatures and cold-blooded killers. Breaking the this terrible way, they finally got to the sacred shrine of Ennoc. But not the first...
