Below you will find the journal of one Olca Sankara (currently Buccaneer 4/Musketeer 1/Alchemist 1) as it details his quest to find the fabled city of Saventh-Yhi.
We are currently in Book 2: Racing to Ruin, and are dealing with a player death after our first day in Tazion.
Here is a brief summary of who exactly Olca is before we get into the journal proper.
Born to the Tava'Ijo in a small village along the Oubinga River, Bakari lived the simple life of an alchemist's son. He'd spend hours each day with his older siblings and father, venturing into caves to search for pungent minerals or scouring the jungle to harvest essential saps and roots. It was one such day, when he was eight years old, that the trajectory of his life was forever changed. Oubingakiji was attacked by Ombo raiders, and in their carnage his community was ravaged.
Bakari and his siblings were sold for a few pieces of silver at Crown's End, he was kept in shackles with hundreds of other enslaved children. Mornings were spent harvesting pineapples in the field, while evenings were reserved for mining black powder. The burden of grey dawns when his loved ones suffered no longer torture him. Not even the memory of his father's lessons remains. With only the fire of revenge deep in his belly, Bakari endured.
Freedom came a decade after his capture. A group of former slaves led an armed assault on the mining operation and slayed the corrupt foremen and overseers. With his newfound freedom, Bakari was reborn. Adopting the name Olca Sankara, he seeks retribution against not just those who enslaved him, but the entire mechanism of Chelish imperialism that has exploited and corrupted all it covets.
