Emerilia Box Set, page 83
part #1 of Emerilia Series
“Transport to Selhi capital,” the transport hub’s manager said in a bored tone as the transport hub glowed. People moved toward it and disappeared in one side as people from the Selhi capital departed out the other side of the transport pad, heading toward the guards who processed all new arrivals.
“Well, it sure as hell beats flying,” Dave said.
“You look like crap,” Suzy said.
“Find anything good in the mages college?” Dave asked, ignoring the statement.
“Not much—few things. Might find something interesting in Selhi,” Malsour said as they walked with the line.
“You used one of these before?” Induca asked Suzy.
“Nope. Anything that I should be worried about?”
“Nah, you’ll be fine unless you get motion sickness. You ready for this, bro?” Induca asked with a wicked gleam in her eye.
“No,” Malsour said.
Damn unnatural looking things, swirling rainbows and lights. I’m a Dragon, but if I’m riding a carriage or a transport pad, I feel nauseous as all hell. He tried to not think of it as he kept walking.
“Does Selhi have a mages college?” Dave asked.
“It does.”
“Ahh, it’s good that we get to see the Mages College of Heval right away.” Dave sounded relieved.
“There is more than one mages college in Heval. After all, Heval is controlled by four main groups separated by mountain ranges.”
“I thought Heval is as big as Opheir.”
“Did you never look at a map?” Deia asked.
“Well, no.” Dave scratched his head.
Deia sighed, opening her interface and sending him something.
“Oh wow, okay. I did not think that Heval was that big. Opheir is tiny! Only Per’ush is smaller and they’re technically floating city states.”
“There are a number of mages’ guilds on Heval. Per’ush still have the strongest, but Heval’s mostly deal with nature and alchemy as they have a thriving economic situation,” Malsour said.
“I would think that with all of those different kingdoms and such, it would make things complicated?” Suzy turned the statement into a question.
“Well, with Players being around, there are plenty of economic opportunities. There is also the threat of attacks. When there are no Players around, nations are known to fight—though in the last two hundred years, there has nearly always been an active cycle of Players.
“There are armies, but they usually work with one another to fight Players who are harming the People of Emerilia or they are looking to secure their own lands from mobs and the native aggressors of Emerilia. Politicians and royalty deal with alliances and trade agreements more than war and issues of violence, except in Ashal.”
“Ashal?” Deia asked.
“You must’ve heard of their expansion wars,” Anna said.
“Well, yes,” Deia said as they continued on, getting closer to the transport pad.
“The Ashal continent is the only continent where the kingdoms, empires and whatever groups there are, actively try to increase their claim of the land, whether or not there are Players on Emerilia or not. It is the highest rate land mass at Level 5. They have the most Rare and Legendary class resources with more dungeons, higher-leveled enemies, and events nearly every month or more. People of Emerilia in Ashal usually range about level 100, with fighters around level 150. A rare few of them are even 200 and up,” Malsour said.
“It is rare to see someone of that high of a level as other groups will make temporary alliances to deal with those higher-leveled people. They also actively look for Players to aid their wars.” Induca frowned.
“It has calmed down in recent years as my father has limited the Jukal influences on the different leaders. It used to be that Jukal people could spend money to gain a position of power, becoming enlightened advisors to the leaders of Ashal groups. They would use their armies and forces like a chess set to try to win control of Ashal. Now, the wars have gone on for so long, few know why they are happening,” Anna said.
“Well, Emerilia is certainly filled with surprises,” Dave said.
Malsour looked up at the transport pad.
“I hate this bit,” he muttered, before he stepped onto the transport pad. He focused on a point in the distance as he saw a swirl of colors all around him. His foot hit the ground and he was walking out of the transport pad and into Selhi’s capital city.
He was a bit wobbly on his feet, better than Suzy who came through not realizing that she was still walking. Induca caught her before she fell over. Suzy went bright red for her near-accident.
Deia did the same for Dave as he came through and almost faceplanted.
They all grouped together, heading for the line talking to guards.
“Shit, you’ve even got customs here,” Dave said.
Emerilia will be continued in For The Guild.

Emerilia
For The Guild
Prologue
A flash of light illuminated the pitch-black room for just a moment. Runes along the walls started to light up, lines of blue light leading from the walls to a sphere in the center of the room. The sphere’s surface changed; millions of runes moved across the surface, forming different circuits.
